Review methodology and evidence standardsThe editorial take
Sundry and Vice runs a serious cocktail program with a menu of house creations that read like flavor experiments: goat cheese-washed gin, mezcal and Malort, apricot vodka with gentian. Draft cocktails and a non-alcoholic section get equal attention. Wine and beer are competent but secondary. Customers describe the cocktails as excellent, bespoke, and seasonal.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Feminine Urge, a layered mix of apricot vodka, bitter lemon, gentian, and vermouth that shows the kitchen's reach. The draft cocktail list rotates, so an Old Fashioned or Paloma may appear; both are classics worth checking.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Cocktail enthusiasts who appreciate inventive, ingredient-driven drinks will find plenty to explore. The non-alcoholic section, with options like a NA negroni and NA espresso martini, makes it a good stop for designated drivers or those skipping alcohol.
- What should I expect to spend?
- House cocktails run $14-$16; draft cocktails are $11-$13. Wines by the glass go for $11-$13, beers $4-$8, and non-alcoholic drinks $6-$14.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The cocktail list is the draw: nearly every drink is a house creation with unusual components—Hellfire tincture, strawberry kiwi shrub, Mellotone Gose. A dedicated non-alcoholic section with equally thoughtful builds, like the Trip Well Remembered, sets the program apart.
