The editorial take

Sedona Taphouse runs a broad beverage program covering craft cocktails, a structured wine list, and a deep spirits collection. The signature 'The Sedona' martini and Smoked Old Fashioned show clear intent, while Wednesday wine specials and a dedicated spirit-free menu round out the appeal. Solid, well-priced drinking across categories.

What should I order?
Start with the Smoked Old Fashioned, a Bowman Brothers bourbon, Angostura bitters, and hickory smoke. For gin drinkers, the signature 'The Sedona' martini pairs Bombay Sapphire with St-Germain. Wine enthusiasts should target Wednesday's half-price bottles, and the Cactus Lemonade is a capable spirit-free option.
Who will enjoy this place?
Cocktail seekers looking for creative martinis and smoked bourbon drinks, bourbon and whisky collectors curious about limited releases like Blanton's and Stagg Jr., and groups wanting a wine list that spans house pours to reserve bottles. The $7 happy hour cocktails also suit value-focused drinkers.
When should I go?
Happy hour brings $7 craft cocktails, $4 house wine, and 25% off beer. Wednesday is the wine play: half off bottles and $20 off reserve selections. Tuesday's Bourbon + Bubbles pairs $3 sparkling with $5 Old Fashioneds.
What should I expect to spend?
Cocktails run $8–$15, house wine $6 a glass, and spirit-free drinks $6. Beers are discounted during happy hour, but no standard prices are listed. Premium pours climb to $60 for Don Julio 1942, and reserve wines reach $120 a bottle.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?
A dedicated spirit-free menu with four refreshers at $6, a Smoked Old Fashioned served with hickory smoke, and a limited bourbon list featuring Blanton's, Weller, and Stagg Jr. The Wednesday wine special and Tuesday Bourbon + Bubbles add structure beyond the usual happy hour.

How it sits with the food

The cocktail list leans fresh and herbaceous, so the Xique-Xique with basil or the Prickly Pear Margarita would match lighter seafood or salads. The Smoked Old Fashioned and reserve reds like Caymus Cabernet suit heartier dishes, though no specific pairings are listed.

Inebrious does not score kitchens, food or the restaurant overall. We review the beverage program only.
