The editorial take

The Black Rabbit's bar pours a creative cocktail lineup of 11 signatures, from a rum-egg white number to a mezcal drink topped with pilsner. Prices stay friendly at $11-$15, and house wine and draft beer round out the program. Customers praise the well-made drinks, making this a solid stop for adventurous sippers.

What should I order?: Start with the Purple Reign, a rum and frothy egg white concoction with pomegranate and pineapple, priced at $11. For something bolder, try the Chupacabra, a mezcal cocktail with Valentina and grenadine, finished with Scrimshaw Pilsner.
Who will enjoy this place?: Cocktail enthusiasts who appreciate inventive combinations and moderate prices will find much to like. The diverse spirit list and playful touches like smoked orange peel and Tajin rims cater to those seeking beyond-the-basics drinks.
When should I go?: Evenings can get busy, so early visits may be more relaxed.
What should I expect to spend?: Cocktails range from $11 to $15, with house wine at $8 and draft beer at $7. A round of drinks for two could easily stay under $30.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?: The cocktail menu stands out with unexpected ingredients like Valentina hot sauce in the Chupacabra and a beer float-style topping. The incorporation of Scrimshaw Pilsner into a cocktail blurs the line between beer and cocktail, a rare move.
