The editorial take
Wine leads here, with a list organized by varietal and region that runs from sparkling and sauvignon blanc through riesling, grüner veltliner, pinot noir, malbec, cabernet blends, merlot, and selections from Italy, Spain and Portugal, poured by the glass or bottle. Flights include 'Drink Them Before They're Famous.' Cocktails are seasonal, built on premium spirits, herbs, fruit and juices, and the Buzz-Free section uses Seedlip. Happy hour brings four cocktails and four Silver Gate wines to $7.
- What should I order?
- Start with the 'Drink Them Before They're Famous' flight to compare across the list, then settle on a glass from the Italy, Spain and Portugal section. For a cocktail, the Sparkling Cosmo — Tito's Handmade Vodka, orange liqueur, cranberry, Riondo Prosecco — or the Twisted Palmer with Jim Beam, brewed iced tea, lemon and mint.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a varietal-and-region list they can navigate without a guide, and who value flights for comparison. The $7 happy hour suits anyone building a round of cocktails or Silver Gate pours, and the Seedlip Buzz-Free section covers those skipping alcohol.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is the value window, with four cocktails and four Silver Gate wines by the glass at $7, plus red or white sangria. Off-peak it is a straightforward stop for a flight and a glass from the regional list.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Happy hour cocktails and Silver Gate wines by the glass are $7, as is the sangria. Acqua Panna is $7.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A wine list sorted by varietal and region that reaches into Italy, Spain and Portugal, paired with flights and a happy hour that prices four cocktails and four wines at $7. The Buzz-Free section runs on Seedlip rather than standard soda-and-juice substitutes.
