The editorial take

The Daily Bar runs a classic-forward cocktail program with a twist: a deep spritz list, a wine selection spanning six countries, and a draft lineup that locals say tops thirty taps. Prices stay friendly, with cocktails mostly under $15 and spritzes at $8. Non-alcoholic drinkers get real options, from NA beer to CBD water. It's a neighborhood bar that takes drinks seriously without taking itself too seriously.

What should I order?
Start with the Buffalo Old Fashioned or the Sazerac for a well-built classic. The spritz list is the curveball—try the Fernet or Paloma Spritz. Wine drinkers can grab a glass of the Ratti Battaglione Barbera d'Asti. Non-alcoholic, the Honey Citrus Spritz or a Lagunitas NA IPA.
Who will enjoy this place?
Cocktail traditionalists will appreciate the extensive classic list, while the spritz selection appeals to those seeking lighter, refreshing options. The large draft selection and non-alcoholic variety make it a solid stop for groups with mixed preferences.
When should I go?
Anytime the seasonal cocktail menu appears—it's listed as coming soon. Otherwise, evenings suit the cocktail and spritz focus, and the draft list makes it a fine after-work stop.
What should I expect to spend?
Cocktails run $10-$14, spritzes are $8, wine pours $9-$17, and non-alcoholic drinks $2-$8. Draft prices are not listed, but overall the bar is positioned as reasonably priced.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?
The spritz section is unusually deep, with nine variations including a Snoop Spritz and a Moai Spritz. The tagline 'Drinks, Denim, Dinos' hints at a playful identity, and the menu update as of August 2026 shows an active program.

How it sits with the food

No food menu is documented, but the classic cocktails and wine list offer flexibility for pairing with bar snacks or a meal from nearby spots. The spritzes could match lighter fare, while the Barbera and Cabernet suit heartier dishes.
