Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The Hangar's beverage program lands with a themed cocktail list of 14 signatures, from a Grey Goose martini with blue cheese olives to a Diplomatico Reserva old fashioned. Wines span six countries with flexible pours, and the beer list covers drafts and gluten-free options. Mocktails and NA beer round out a program that's more thoughtful than typical airport-adjacent fare.
- What should I order?
- Start with The Hangar Martini for a savory, spirit-forward choice, or the Blue Skies Mule for a fruitier lift. The New Fashioned with Diplomatico Reserva shows rum's range. Non-drinkers can opt for the Nojito or Kick in the Glass.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Aviation enthusiasts will appreciate the themed cocktails, while travelers and locals alike will find approachable wines and beers. The mocktail menu and NA beer make it a good stop for designated drivers or those avoiding alcohol.
- When should I go?
- Anytime, but the aviation theme suggests a pre- or post-flight visit. The lounge setting could suit a casual after-work drink or a weekend gathering.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The aviation-themed cocktail list is the clear standout, with names like The Hangar Martini and Aeronautical Gimlet. The use of premium spirits like Horse Soldier bourbon and Don Fulano tequila elevates the program beyond typical bar fare.
