Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The Clubhouse on Castell is a wine-focused lounge with a curated list of 93+ selections, ranging from a $12 Prosecco by the glass to a $350 Patrimony Cabernet. Wine flights encourage exploration, and staff offer personal guidance. Members get access to Owner's Reserve wines and pricing. Beer and coffee round out the menu, but the wine program is the clear draw.
- What should I order?
- Start with a wine flight to sample across regions, then consider a glass of Mar de Frades Albariño or a bottle of Convento Barolo for a red. For a lighter option, the Luca Paretti Brut Prosecco is a value at $12 a glass.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Wine enthusiasts seeking a curated selection and personal guidance will feel at home. Those interested in exploring different wine regions through flights will also appreciate the format. Beer drinkers have limited but adequate options.
- When should I go?
- Evenings are likely best, given the venue's lounge atmosphere and weekly live music. A visit during a wine flight tasting or a private event could be especially rewarding.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Wine by the glass starts at $12, with bottles ranging from $44 to $350. Beer is $7–$8, and coffee drinks are $4–$5.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The venue's wine selector tool helps guests find wines based on preferences, and a membership program provides savings and access to Owner's Reserve wines. The combination of a large curated list, flights, and personal staff guidance sets it apart.
