Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Pita Kabob Mediterranean Kitchen + Bar runs a beverage program far deeper than most restaurant bars. The cocktail list carries 17 named drinks built with Bulleit Rye, Rare Character rye, G4 Tequila Blanco, and Ocho Reposado, mostly priced $14–$16. The spirits-by-the-shot list spans 15 categories and over 80 bottles, from $4 to $60, with serious agave and allocated whiskey. Wine, 31 taps, and Ritual-based mocktails round out the selection.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Rare Character Old Fashioned, built on limited-release 02 rye with demerara and angostura, or the G4 Hibiscus Sour with G4 blanco, hibiscus, lime, and agave in a tajín-rimmed glass. From the spirits list, Fortaleza Blanco at $12 and Blanton's Single Barrel at $28 are the sharpest pours.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a real spirits list alongside dinner will find plenty here, especially those who care about agave and allocated bourbon. Cocktail drinkers get named-spirit classics and a few tequila-forward sours. Wine drinkers looking for familiar California cabernet and pinot have glass and bottle options.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour draws mentions for beer and rotating kegs, making it a reasonable stop for a drink before or after a meal. The spirits and cocktail list is deep enough for a focused single pour rather than a long session.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails mostly run $14–$16, with the Rare Character Old Fashioned at $24. Spirits by the shot span $4 to $60; Fortaleza Blanco is $12 and Blanton's is $28. Wine by the glass is $13–$19, bottles $38–$185. The Pineapple Ginger Fizz Mocktail is $13.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The spirits-by-the-shot list is the draw: over 80 bottles across 15 categories, with Fortaleza, G4, Don Fulano, and Siete Leguas on the agave side and Blanton's, Eagle Rare, and Weller Special Reserve among the allocated whiskeys. Few restaurant bars in the area pair that with 17 named cocktails and 31 taps.
