The editorial take
The drinks menu leans on recognizable builds rather than a deep back bar. Six cocktails are listed with ingredients: Salty Dog with gin, grapefruit, raspberry, lime, and salt; Don't Call me Shirley with vodka, Aperol, pomegranate, lime, and lemon-lime soda; Golden Caddy with agave blend, apricot, lime, and jalapeño. Prices run $4 to $10. Spirit pours include Buffalo Trace and Uncle Nearest 1884 at $4, Tullamore Dew Irish and M&M at $5. One rotating draft beer is listed, available from the bar or a server.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Salty Dog at $10, a gin, grapefruit, raspberry, lime, and salt build. For something lighter on the wallet, the Surfer on Acid at $4 combines coconut rum, pineapple, and Jaegermeister, and the Golden Caddy at $8 mixes agave blend, apricot, lime, and jalapeño. Spirit pours include Buffalo Trace and Uncle Nearest 1884, each $4.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a short, readable cocktail list with ingredient detail and low prices, plus a few bourbon and Irish whiskey pours to fall back on.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails are $4 to $10, with the Salty Dog, Long Island, Rotating Margarita, and Don't Call me Shirley all at $10, and the Golden Caddy at $8. Spirit pours are $4 to $5. Draft beer pricing is not listed on the menu.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Cocktail names and descriptions carry the personality here, from the Long Island listed as "You know what this is you animal" to the Rotating Margarita described as "Whatever we're feelin'." The spread from a $4 Surfer on Acid to a $10 Salty Dog keeps the list accessible.
