The editorial take
Session Cocktails runs a $13 cocktail list that moves from house originals to spirit-specific classics like Gold Rush, Paloma, and Paper Cut. Tea Time, an earl grey-infused vodka drink, supports the West Alabama Cerebral Palsy Foundation. Weekly specials cover Martini Monday, Tequila Tuesday, and Whiskey Wednesday at $8-$10. Wine comes by half bottle, beer splits into domestic and craft tiers, and mocktails use Lyre's non-alcoholic spirits. A QR spirit menu and $4 shooters round out the options.
