The editorial take
Craft cocktails have anchored Tellers Gallery & Bar since 1998, and customers routinely call them the highlight of a visit. The drink menu also covers nonalcoholic ground with unusual thoroughness: bottomless iced tea and eight hot tea varieties from The Republic of Tea, each $3, plus soda at the same price. It is a program built on longevity and consistency rather than novelty, and the tea list gives nondrinkers a better-than-usual set of choices.
- What should I order?
- Start with a craft cocktail, the category the venue has built its reputation on since 1998. For a nonalcoholic option, the bottomless iced tea at $3 or a hot tea from The Republic of Tea at $3 — choose from ginger peach, blackberry sage, honey ginseng, people's green tea, earl grey, mint fields, or natural hibiscus.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- People who value a cocktail program with decades of local history, and groups that include nondrinkers who want more than a default soda. The eight-variety tea list and bottomless iced tea make it easy to accommodate mixed preferences at one table.
- When should I go?
- Any time a craft cocktail or a pot of tea fits the occasion; the nonalcoholic list makes it a workable stop for daytime or evening visits alike.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Nonalcoholic drinks are priced at $3 across the board, including bottomless iced tea, hot tea, and soda. Cocktail pricing is not listed here, but the format is a full craft cocktail program rather than a limited pour list.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The combination of a craft cocktail identity dating to 1998 and a nonalcoholic list that goes beyond the usual soda-and-iced-tea pairing. Eight Republic of Tea varieties and bottomless iced tea at $3 give the beverage program a second dimension most cocktail-focused venues skip.
