The editorial take
A tequila-first cocktail bar with more than 200 bottles available by the pour or in three-pour flights, plus a bottle shop for takeaway. Signature cocktails run from margaritas and palomas to martinis, old fashioneds, and dessert drinks, with a build-your-own margarita option. Wine, beer, and a full mocktail section round out the list, and happy hour brings cocktails to $10-$14 downstairs.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Pembroke Paloma, built on Mezcal Unión and Tres Agaves blanco with grapefruit and salt, or the Sunrise Margarita with Solento organic reposado. From the spirits list, a build-your-own flight of three 1-oz tequila pours lets you compare expressions, with G4 Blanco a solid starting point.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Guests who want to compare tequila and mezcal across a deep list rather than order the same house pour twice. The cocktail range covers margarita drinkers and whiskey drinkers, and the mocktail section gives non-drinkers real options.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is the value window, with cocktails at $10-$14 downstairs and all draft beers at $4. A flight is a reasonable way to work through the tequila list without committing to full pours.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Signature cocktails are $12 to $42, with most named drinks at $18. Wine by the glass runs $10 to $24 and bottles $35 to $95. Tequila pours span $8 to $300, flights $22 to $38, and mocktails $10 to $14.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- More than 200 tequilas by the pour or in flights, alongside mezcal, bourbon, rye, whiskey, and Scotch, and a bottle shop that sells spirits, wine, and beer to-go. Tequila pours reach from $8 to $300, and the retail side stocks bottles like G4 Blanco and Don Julio 1942.
