Rody's Tavern pours a seasonal cocktail menu anchored by an Apple Cider Margarita and a Pumpkin Spice Martini, both finished with caramel cinnamon sugar rims.

- Start with the Apple Cider Margarita, a $10 seasonal pour built on Astral Reposado, triple sec, lime, and apple cider with a caramel cinnamon sugar rim. If you prefer something richer, the $12 Pumpkin Spice Martini uses vanilla vodka, Baileys, and pumpkin puree with the same rim.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Seasonal-cocktail fans and beer explorers will find clear targets: the fall drink list gives novelty seekers two dressed-up options, while the 24-tap draft selection with North Carolina craft beers and rotating taps rewards variety. The Beer Club adds a collectible angle for regulars who like tracking what they drink.

- Cocktails run $10 to $12. Wines by the glass start at $5.00 and reach $10.50. Nonalcoholic drinks sit between $2.49 and $2.99.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The seasonal cocktail lineup carries clear dessert-bar styling, with caramel cinnamon sugar rims on both the Apple Cider Margarita and Pumpkin Spice Martini. The draft program counters that with a 24-tap system featuring North Carolina craft beers, three rotating taps, and a Beer Club that tracks consumption toward prizes.
