Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
A broad beverage program built around a long cocktail list, with a wine section that runs from Central Coast sparkling to Dom Perignon and a beer list that stretches past 20 options. Eight mocktails, including two CBD builds, give non-drinkers more than a token choice, and the non-alcoholic coverage extends into wine and beer as well.
- What should I order?
- The Penicillin, $15.00, uses Scotch with a Lagavulin float; the Old Fashioned, $13.50, is built on Larceny Bourbon. For a lighter pour, the Bee's Knees, $11.00, uses Re:Find Gin and house honey syrup.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups who want one list to cover different drinking preferences: a cocktail drinker, a wine drinker, and someone skipping alcohol can all order from the same menu without settling. The beer list reaches into Belgian large formats for anyone willing to spend $25 to $30.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $11.00 to $18.00, with the Old Fashioned at $13.50 and the Negroni and Boulevardier each at $18.00. Wine by the glass is $12.00 to $22.00, bottles $26.00 to $350.00. Beer mostly sits between $7.00 and $13.00, with Chimay Blue Grand Reserve at $30.00.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The non-alcoholic program goes past mocktails into non-alcoholic wine and beer, and two CBD mocktails — California Dreaming and the CBD French 75 — require guests to be 21. The wine list also carries Central Coast producers alongside Napa and Sonoma names.
