Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Scarlett's Wine Bar pairs a broad wine list with a cocktail menu that leans classic but includes house originals like the Smoke Signal and Green Chile Gimlet. Happy hour drops glasses to $8.5 and bottles to $32, making it a practical Central West End stop. Local beers and a few non-alcoholic choices round out the program.
- What should I order?
- For wine, the Dom Perignon 2015 is a splurge, but happy hour's $32 bottles offer value. Among cocktails, the Smoke Signal (mezcal, aperol, herbal amaro) and Green Chile Gimlet show ambition. Red sangria is a crowd favorite.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Wine enthusiasts seeking an affordable pour, cocktail drinkers who appreciate both classics and house twists, and anyone looking for a relaxed happy hour with local beer options.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails $10–$12; wine by the glass $8–$60, bottles $34–$240; non-alcoholic options $7–$10. Happy hour wine at $8.5 per glass and $32 per bottle.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The happy-hour wine pricing is a clear draw, but the cocktail list distinguishes itself with mezcal and green chile vodka in a wine-bar setting. Local St. Louis beers and non-alcoholic wine broaden the appeal.
