Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The Craft Bar operates inside the Wine World Restaurant Group, and the beverage program shows that affiliation through a dated 2025 wine list that moves across California, Italy, New Zealand, Washington, Oregon, and France. By the glass, pricing runs $8 to $17, with bottles from $21.99 to $44.99. A daily 12oz carafe costs the same as a large glass from 11-6. Thirty-seven numbered draft lines cover lagers, IPAs, sours, ciders, and wheat beers, while the cocktail side offers four $7 happy hour drinks with named spirits and house syrups. A spirits menu groups Vodka, Gin, Rum, Tequila, Whiskey/Bourbon, and Scotch.
- What should I order?
- Start with a happy hour cocktail such as the Pepino del Benicio, built on house vodka with English cucumber, basil, house citrus, and house simple. For wine, the daily 12oz carafe at the large-glass price is a straightforward value play; the Fairweather Chardonnay and Natale Verga Pinot Grigio both pour at $8 a glass and $21.99 a bottle.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone building a drink order around variety: wine drinkers who want multiple regions by the glass or carafe, beer drinkers who value a 37-line draft list spanning lagers, IPAs, sours, ciders, and wheat beers, and cocktail drinkers who prefer named spirits and house-made components at a set happy hour price.
- When should I go?
- The daily carafe pricing runs 11-6, and happy hour includes the four $7 cocktails and rotating draft beer features, so that window suits a focused drink order. Ask your server or bartender about the rotating draft feature if beer is the priority.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Happy hour cocktails are $7 each. Wine by the glass ranges from $8 to $17, with bottles from $21.99 to $44.99; the daily 12oz carafe costs the same as a large glass from 11-6, and the listed large-glass prices run from $10 to $22.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The combination of a dated wine list with regional breadth, a daily carafe format priced at the large-glass rate, 37 numbered draft lines across diverse styles, and a spirits menu organized into six major categories gives this location a wider beverage range than a single-focus bar.
