Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Tanner's Grill and Bar West runs a beverage program built on breadth and specials rather than curation. The by-the-glass wine list covers Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Apothic Red Blend alongside Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Moscato, 13 Celsius Sauvignon Blanc, and Chateau St. Michelle Chardonnay. Beer is the strongest suit: domestic and imported bottles and cans, Wisconsin craft like New Glarus Spotted Cow and Badger State Grassy Place Hazy IPA, plus non-alcoholic brews. Spirits span vodka, rum, gin, whiskey, bourbon, tequila, and brandy. Weekly specials anchor the value case.
- What should I order?
- Start with a New Glarus Spotted Cow or Badger State Grassy Place Hazy IPA if you want Wisconsin craft. For spirits, Bulleit Bourbon or Woodford Reserve are solid call picks. Wine drinkers can go with Chateau St. Michelle Chardonnay or Apothic Red Blend by the glass.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups looking for a broad packaged beer selection, Wisconsin craft options, and a full spirits backbar with weekly specials. Wine drinkers who want familiar by-the-glass varietals rather than a deep list.
- When should I go?
- Tuesday for $2.50 domestic pints or Wednesday for $3.50 16oz domestic cans. Monday brings $4 double mixers of call liquor. All specials run from open to close.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Specials offer clear value: $2.50 domestic pints on Tuesdays, $3.50 16oz domestic cans on Wednesdays, and $4 double mixers of call liquor on Mondays. Standard pricing for other beverages is not detailed in the available information.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The combination of a broad packaged beer selection with Wisconsin craft, a full spirits backbar spanning every major category, and daily specials that include non-alcoholic beer options sets it apart from a standard grill and bar.
