The editorial take
Room 33 Speakeasy runs a beverage program with unusual breadth for its size. The Fall Cocktail Menu 2026 lists 16 craft cocktails with named spirits, from a French 75 with Tanqueray to a Chai Old Fashioned with Maker's Mark 46. A separate spirits list carries 15 Scotch and Bourbon expressions plus tequila and mezcal. Wine, craft beer, and a six-drink mocktail section round out the menu. Cocktail execution draws mixed reports, but the range of options is clear.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Blade & Bow Whiskey pour, served with smoked Amarena Cherry Syrup and orange bitters in a keepsake Room 33 rocks glass. For a classic, the French 75 uses Tanqueray Gin, lemon, simple syrup, and Champagne. The Chai Old Fashioned with Maker's Mark 46 and chai syrup is a signature worth trying.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- This program suits drinkers who want a deep whiskey list alongside cocktails, and groups that include non-drinkers, thanks to six mocktails. Wine and beer drinkers will find workable by-the-glass and bottle options. Those prioritizing precise cocktail execution may find the results uneven.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails are $10–$13. Mocktails are $7. Wine by the glass runs $8–$14, bottles $33–$52. Craft bottles are $5–$7. Scotch and Bourbon pours range $10–$35, tequila $10–$28, and the signature Blade & Bow pour is $33.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The spirits list separates Room 33 from typical cocktail bars: 15 Scotch and Bourbon expressions, a tequila and mezcal section, and a signature Blade & Bow pour with smoked Amarena Cherry Syrup served in a keepsake rocks glass. The mocktail section is unusually developed, with six named drinks at $7 each.
