Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program at The Comfort Zone Cigar Lounge & Bistro leans heavily on spirits, with a deep list of allocated bourbons, aged tequilas, and high-end scotches. Cocktails include a four-variation Old Fashioned Flight and named drinks like the Pama Lift. Wine spans sparkling to red by the glass and bottle, beer covers draft and packaged options, and zero-proof drinkers get a dedicated mocktail list plus Heineken Zero N/A.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Old Fashioned Flight to compare four variations, then move to a spirits pour such as Blanton or Clase Azul Reposado. For a zero-proof option, the Hibiscus Refresher is a house-crafted hibiscus infusion with fresh lemon and effervescence.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- This program suits spirits drinkers who want allocated bourbons, aged tequilas, and high-end scotch pours, as well as groups where some guests want cocktails or wine and others prefer zero-proof mocktails or non-alcoholic beer.
- When should I go?
- Anytime you want to compare spirits pours or work through the Old Fashioned Flight at a measured pace.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $13 to $15, with the Old Fashioned Flight at $45. Wine by the glass is $7 to $16, beer $5 to $8, mocktails $7 to $8, and spirits pours range from $5 to $55.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The combination of a four-variation Old Fashioned Flight, allocated bourbons like Eagle Rare 10 yr and Weller Special Reserve, and a dedicated zero-proof mocktail list gives the beverage program unusual breadth for a cigar lounge and bistro.
