The editorial take
A tavern concept from Jon Taffer built around a 16-drink CRAFTED COCKTAILS list, most priced at $17. The Campfire leans on Taffer's trademarked Browned Butter Rye Whiskey, while Taffer's Tasters samples vodka, rum, tequila, and whiskey in one $22 flight. A separate wine list runs sparkling to red by the glass and bottle, with Veuve Clicquot and Caymus among the pours. Twelve draft lines favor Georgia craft, and a ZERO PROOF section covers three $12 mocktails.
- What should I order?
- Start with The Campfire to taste Taffer's trademarked Browned Butter Rye Whiskey in its simplest supported form, or order Taffer's Tasters at $22 for a four-cocktail sampler covering vodka, rum, tequila, and whiskey. The Smoked Old Fashioned arrives in a smoke-filled decanter at $18.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a long, clearly priced cocktail list rather than a short seasonal menu, and groups who can split the sampler or compare base spirits across one round. Wine drinkers get glass-and-bottle options up to Veuve Clicquot and Caymus; beer drinkers get Georgia craft on draft.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $16–$22, with most at $17. Wine by the glass is $12–$29 and bottles $48–$125. Draft beer is $6–$9.50 depending on pour size, bottles and cans $4–$10, mocktails $12, and Heineken 0.0 $6.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Taffer's trademarked Browned Butter Rye Whiskey turns up in The Campfire, and the cocktail list spans whiskey, vodka, rum, tequila, gin, and mezcal bases across 16 named drinks. Taffer's Tasters packages four of them into one sampler, and the wine list carries Veuve Clicquot, Caymus, and The Prisoner by the glass as well as the bottle.
