Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Whiskey carries this program, and the structure behind it is concrete: six themed flights, a Whiskey Passport that stamps premium pours from different regions with rewards at the 10th, 25th, 50th, and completion marks, and a limited Stack 571 Special Reserve from WhistlePig. Stack Barrel Select WhistlePig 6 Year rye anchors an entire featured cocktail section, from the Napoleon to a barrel-aged Sazerac. Local drafts run deep with ABV and IBU detail, and the Zero Proof list is a real section rather than an afterthought.
- What should I order?
- Start with the WhistlePig Rye Flight to see the house barrel select beside FarmStock, 10 Year Snout–To–Tail, and Alfa Romeo, then a Napoleon built on that same rye with raspberries, Campari, blanc vermouth, egg white foam, and bitters.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Whiskey drinkers who want flights and a Passport structure rather than a single pour list, plus groups where one person orders a barrel-aged Sazerac and another wants a Zero Proof Ginger Maple Smash or a local draft.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour brings any draft cocktail to $8, any draft beer to $5.5, and any wine by the glass to $7. The weekly half-off whiskey nights give each day its own theme: Monday flights, Tuesday rye, Wednesday Washington whiskey, Thursday Oregon-made whiskey, Sunday Irish.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Whiskey flights run $16.95–$28.95. Featured cocktails are $14.50–$15.50, whiskey cocktails $13.50–$16.95, general cocktails $11.95–$13.95. Draft beer is $8.50, bottles and cans $3.95–$6.95. Wine by the glass is $9.95–$10.95, bottles $29.50–$31.50. Zero proof cocktails are $7.95.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Stack Barrel Select WhistlePig 6 Year rye is used across an entire featured cocktail section, and the same barrel-select thread runs into a limited Stack 571 Special Reserve Whiskey available in select cocktails, the WhistlePig Flight, or alone. A Whiskey Passport program and six themed flights give the whiskey list a structure beyond a bottle count.
