Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The Bar - Lynndale runs a broad beverage program anchored by five named signature cocktails: Casa Bargarita, Berry Mule, Bar Bloody, The Spiker, and The Bar Old Fashioned. Nonalcoholic drinkers get equal billing with five $8 mocktails built on Clean Co N/A Alternative Spirits. Beer specials include $4 Corona and Modelo Especial and $5 Kona Big Wave pints, while spirits promotions list $5 Patrón doubles, $7 Jim Beam doubles, and $9 Grey Goose doubles. Wine is named on the drinks list but not detailed.
- What should I order?
- Start with a named signature cocktail such as the Casa Bargarita or The Bar Old Fashioned. For a nonalcoholic option, the Clean & Stormy combines rum alternative, Barritt's ginger beer, and lime for $8. Beer drinkers can take a $4 Corona or Modelo Especial, or a $5 Kona Big Wave pint.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups looking for a wide spread of cocktail, beer, spirit, and nonalcoholic options at promotional prices. The five-mocktail list gives nondrinking guests a real choice rather than a single token option.
- When should I go?
- Thursday promotions list $5 Patrón doubles and $5 margaritas alongside $4 Corona and Modelo Especial. Daily specials include $7 margaritas and $9 Grey Goose signature Bloody Marys, so the value shifts by day.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Promotional pricing dominates: $4 domestic beer, $5.50 craft pricing, $5 pints, $7 margaritas, $8 mocktails, $5 to $7 doubles, and $9 Grey Goose doubles. Signature cocktails are excluded from daily specials, so expect standard pricing for those.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A full five-item mocktail menu made with Clean Co N/A Alternative Spirits at a flat $8 is unusual breadth for a venue whose strongest promotions center on doubles and domestic beer. The same list covers $5 Patrón doubles, $7 Jim Beam doubles, and $9 Grey Goose doubles.
