Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Starboard Tack's beverage program leans hard into rum, with a menu of inventive daiquiri variations like the Nuclear Daiquiri and Across the Pacific. The bar claims Nevada's largest rum collection, and the cocktail list backs it up with obscure and classic rums. A broad beer lineup covers domestic, import, and craft, plus non-alcoholic options. Cocktails around $11 make the creativity accessible.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Starboard Taquiri, a pineapple-forward rum cocktail with a pernod rinse. For something bolder, the Nuclear Daiquiri layers overproof rum with Green Chartreuse and falernum. If you prefer beer, the Cigar City Jai Alai IPA is a solid craft choice.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Rum enthusiasts will find plenty to explore, from Jamaican funk to aged Demerara. Cocktail drinkers who appreciate tiki-adjacent creativity will feel at home. Beer fans have a wide range, and non-alcoholic drinkers aren't left out.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour brings food and drink specials, making it a good time to sample multiple cocktails. Evenings are likely busier, but the bar's 24/7 kitchen suggests late-night options.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails are around $11, and a draft beer like Coronado Blonde is $6. Prices for other drinks are not listed, but the given prices suggest a moderate, approachable range.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The self-proclaimed largest rum collection in Nevada is the centerpiece, and the cocktail menu leverages it with rums from Jamaica, Guyana, and beyond. The Starboard Taquiri and Nuclear Daiquiri show a tiki-inspired creativity that sets the program apart.

How it sits with the food
The menu includes pupus (Hawaiian appetizers), which pair naturally with the tropical, citrus-forward cocktails. The rum-based drinks' acidity and spice can cut through rich, fried foods.
