Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Bar and Grill runs a beverage program with a clear cocktail backbone: eight house cocktails and four seasonal Fall Libations, built with house-made syrups, infusions, and barrel-aging. Wine is poured by the glass and bottle across red, white, sparkling, imported, and local Nevada labels. Beer leans on local and regional craft alongside familiar lagers, and the non-alcoholic side gets real attention with three mocktails and three non-alcoholic beers.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Cherry Walnut Manhattan, a barrel-aged mix of Frey Ranch Rye, house vermouth blend, Nux Alpina Walnut Liqueur, and cherry and Angostura bitters. For something lighter, the High Desert Fizz combines 10 Torr Gin, house-made honey lavender syrup, lemon, soda, and butterfly pea flower tea. If you want wine, the Nevada Sunset Winery Bourbon Barrel Red is a local glass or bottle.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- This list suits drinkers who want a full cocktail menu with local spirits and house-made components, wine drinkers who appreciate by-the-glass range from Chianti to local Nevada reds, and anyone looking for non-alcoholic options beyond soda.
- What should I expect to spend?
- House cocktails are $12.00–$15.00, with margaritas also available at $18.00 for 16 ounces; Fall Libations are $14.00 each. Wine by the glass runs $10.00–$20.00, bottles $30.00–$65.00. Beers are $7.00–$9.00, mocktails $8.00–$12.00, and non-alcoholic beers $7.00 each.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The cocktail program pairs a standing house list with a rotating seasonal section, and the drinks lean on house-made syrups, infusions, and barrel-aging. Local producers show up in the beer and wine selections, including Pigeon Head and Nevada Sunset Winery, while the non-alcoholic list uses Lyre's spirits and non-alcoholic sparkling wine.
