The editorial take
A four-part drink program where the cocktail list runs nine drinks at $16, two of them built on spirits aged in house — a Great Jones Bourbon Old Fashioned and a Michter's Rye Manhattan. Wine moves from $11 glasses up to a seven-bottle reserve tier, Theo's Special Selections, priced $80 to $180. Beer stays bottled: nine beers and a cider, $5 to $12. The spirits shelf carries aged single malts and a long bourbon and rye run.
- What should I order?
- Start with the in-house aged Michter's Rye Manhattan or the Great Jones Bourbon Old Fashioned, both $16, to see what the barrel program does. For a group, the Homemade Sangria comes by the glass at $12 or the pitcher at $40. On the wine side, the Domaine Des Varinelles Crémant de Loire is $13 by the glass.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a full four-category list in one place rather than a specialist bar. Whiskey drinkers get aged single malts and a deep bourbon and rye shelf; wine drinkers get sparkling through red plus a reserve tier; beer drinkers get Belgian, German, Spanish, and American bottles.
- When should I go?
- Wine tastings and themed dinners are part of the program, so those are the occasions to plan around. Otherwise the list supports both a single glass and a shared pitcher of sangria.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails are $16 each and sangria is $12 by the glass or $40 by the pitcher. White and red wines run $11 to $12 by the glass and $38 to $42 by the bottle; rosé is $12 to $14 by the glass and $42 to $53 by the bottle. Reserve bottles run $80 to $180, and beers $5 to $12.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Two cocktails use spirits aged in house, and the wine list carries a named reserve tier, Theo's Special Selections, with seven bottles that reach into Gaja and Côte-Rôtie territory. The rest of the program is unusually even: cocktails, wine, beer, and spirits each get their own section rather than one carrying the others.
