How we score

The editorial take

The cocktail list is built on named spirits—Bulleit, Don Julio, Smirnoff, Hendrick's, Hornitos, and vanilla vodka—across seven drinks that mix classics with house creations. The Manhattan and Old Fashioned use Bulleit, the Margarita gets Don Julio and Cointreau, and the White Elephant pairs Smirnoff with Cointreau and lime. The Lapierre brings Hendrick's, bitters, lime, and tonic; the Primo uses Hornitos; and the Snuffleupagus leans into vanilla vodka, Baileys, coffee liqueur, and half-and-half. Beer runs lighter, with a tap list and two weeknight specials.

What should I order?
Start with the Manhattan, built on Bulleit rye or bourbon with sweet vermouth and bitters, or the Margarita with Don Julio and Cointreau. The Lapierre, with Hendrick's gin, bitters, lime, and tonic, is the most distinctive gin option on the list.
Who will enjoy this place?
Drinkers who want branded spirits in their cocktails and a menu that moves between classics and house drinks. The beer side suits anyone looking for a straightforward draft or can special early in the week.
What should I expect to spend?
The Thursday special takes $1 off top-shelf liquor. Monday takes $1 off drafts, and Tuesday takes $1 off cans and bottles. No other pricing is listed.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?
Every cocktail names its base spirit, from Bulleit and Don Julio to Hendrick's, Hornitos, and vanilla vodka, and the house drinks—the White Elephant, the Lapierre, the Primo, and the Snuffleupagus—sit alongside standard classics.
