Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The Celt Pub & Grill runs a beverage program that takes its Irish pub identity seriously. The cocktail list spans 23 named drinks across classic, fall seasonal, and ladies night sections, built with Jameson, Glenmorangie, Hornitos, Xicaru, and other named spirits. Eight wines by the glass cover sparkling, white, and red with detailed tasting notes. The beer list pairs Guinness and Harp with local options like Idaho Brewing Scotch Ale and Grand Teton 208 Session Ale. A dedicated Spirit Free section handles nondrinkers with more than an afterthought.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Dublin Mule, made with Jameson, Reed's Ginger Beer, and lime, or the Irish Maid with Triple Dog Irish Whiskey, St. Germain, cucumber, and lemon. For wine, the Berceo Cava Brut at $9.50 is a crisp sparkling option. Beer drinkers should look to the Idaho Brewing Scotch Ale or Wallace Red Light Irish Red.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- People who want a full bar program rather than a single-focus list will find cocktails, wine, beer, and spirit-free options all covered. Groups with mixed preferences can order across categories without anyone settling.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour brings $3 well drinks, $5 Jameson, $1 off wines, and 50 cents off drafts. Monday is whiskey of the day at 50% off; Tuesday is $2 pint of the day; Wednesday is $2 off wine glasses and 30% off bottles; Thursday is ladies night with $4 select cocktails.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Wines by the glass run $7.00 to $10.00. Happy hour well drinks are $3 and Jameson is $5. Friday whiskey specials are $3.50. Italian sodas are $2.99 and Boylan's Cream Soda is $3.50. Tuesday draft pints are $2.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The cocktail list is unusually deep for a pub, with 23 named drinks across three sections and a broad range of base spirits including Irish whiskey, Scotch, mezcal, and rum. The wine list uses named regions and tasting notes rather than generic categories. The Spirit Free section is a dedicated part of the menu, not a fallback.
