The editorial take
Shakers Restaurant runs a beverage program built on breadth and familiar names. The cocktail menu lists 17 drinks sorted by base spirit, from an Old Fashioned and Manhattan to a Pineapple Coconut Margarita and French 75. A premium spirits list covers eight categories with brands like Grey Goose, Patron Silver, Woodford, and Macallan. The wine section moves through house pours, whites from California to New Zealand, reds, and a Prosecco split. It's a straightforward, well-organized list that covers the bases without chasing esoteric corners.
