How we score

The editorial take

A cocktail bar with a 12-drink draft list, all priced at $14, each carrying named ingredients and an ABV indicator running from 1 to 5. The menu is divided into Draft Cocktails and Oldies, so there is a clear split between house builds and recognizable classics. Cherry Bomb leans on bonded bourbon with cherry and red wine at the high-ABV end; Kickstart My Heart layers aged rum, amaro, pineapple, coffee, and pandan at a moderate 2. Guests describe the drinks as creative and well-executed, with some favoring the back lounge's versions for balance.

What should I order?: Cherry Bomb, the bonded bourbon, cherry, and red wine build at ABV5, is the strongest single pour on the list. For something lighter, Kickstart My Heart pairs aged rum and amaro with pineapple, coffee, and pandan at ABV2, or Lovely Day keeps shochu, shiso, yuzu, and tonic at ABV1.
Who will enjoy this place?: Drinkers who want a full draft list with disclosed ingredients and ABV indicators rather than a mystery menu. The 1-to-5 ABV range accommodates both low-strength sipping and heavier bourbon builds, and the Oldies section suits anyone who prefers recognizable classics.
When should I go?: A reasonable stop for a round before or after dinner, or for working through the lower-ABV end of the list earlier in an evening. The back lounge is where some guests prefer the cocktails for balance.
What should I expect to spend?: Every draft cocktail on the menu is $14, which keeps a round predictable regardless of which build you choose.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?: All 12 draft cocktails sit at one flat price of $14, and each is labeled with an ABV indicator from 1 to 5 alongside its named ingredients. The menu splits into Draft Cocktails and Oldies, mixing original builds with classics.
