Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Rabbit Hole Tavern's beverage program leans playful, with a house cocktail list that runs from the berry-forward Berry Bunny Margarita to the rum-fueled Henny Genny Shark, all under $15. The draft beer list pulls from New York breweries like Rohrbach and Sloop, supported by a bottom-up pour system. Wine covers familiar ground plus local labels such as Glenora Wine Cellars. Mocktails, including the ginger-forward Temple of Ginger, keep non-drinkers in the game. A dependable stop for a varied, budget-conscious pour.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Berry Bunny Margarita, a tequila and blackberry-liqueur number that shows the house style. For beer drinkers, the Rohrbach Cosmic Krush IPA or the locally brewed Rabbit Hole Lager are solid picks. If you're skipping alcohol, the Temple of Ginger brings ginger beer and lime without the spirit.
- Who will enjoy this place?

The range of cocktails, local draft beers, and mocktails means groups with differing tastes can each find something, though enthusiasts seeking rare or complex pours may want more depth.
