Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program at Station Square Ristorante is anchored by a spirits list that runs from everyday Bourbon to allocated bottles like Van Winkle and EH Taylor Single Barrel. Cocktails number 14, including barrel-aged Manhattans and Old Fashioneds built with Buffalo Trace, plus a Grey Goose dirty martini. Beer covers five draft lines with Ohio breweries, and the wine list exceeds 450 bottles with recurring sommelier-led promotions.
- What should I order?
- Start with a Station Square Barrel-Aged Manhattan, made with Buffalo Trace, Carpano Antica, and cherry bitters. For a spirit-forward pour, the WhistlePig 12 Year Rye or Blanton's are listed. Beer drinkers should look to the draft line for Noble Creature or Penguin City.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- This suits drinkers who want a deep whiskey list with allocated Bourbons and a serious Scotch range, as well as groups who want cocktails and wine at the same table. The draft selection favors anyone who prefers Ohio-brewed beer over a standard national lineup.
- When should I go?
- Wine Wednesday offers below-retail pricing on sommelier-selected wines, and Twenty Tuesday takes 20% off any bottle for dine-in or carryout. Monthly wine tastings are also held. These are the recurring times built around the beverage program.
- What should I expect to spend?
- No beverage prices are listed for the named cocktails, spirits, or wines. Wine promotions include below-retail pricing on Wine Wednesday and 20% off bottles on Twenty Tuesday, which are the only supported cost signals.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The combination of a 450-plus-bottle wine list with multiple Wine Spectator Awards of Excellence and a spirits list that reaches allocated Bourbons like Van Winkle sets this apart. Barrel-aged cocktails and five draft lines including two breweries add range beyond a standard restaurant list.
