The editorial take
The Bohemian Cafe presents a full beverage program: eight cocktails from a $9 Blood Orange Margarita to a $15 El Diablo, a wine list with California, South African, and Argentine labels, and a draft list reaching from Bell's to Creature Comforts. Happy hour cuts bottle prices in half. Mocktails hold their own at $6, and the Perfect Old Fashion shows serious bourbon intent. A reliable stop for nearly any drinker.
