Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program is anchored by a 15-drink house cocktail list that runs from a $16 mezcal-tamarindo highball to a $50 rye pour built on High West 'A Midwinter Night's Dram.' Barrel-aged Old Fashioned and Manhattan are $18, and the whiskey names the bar pours are not filler. Wine moves on tap by glass and carafe, with and Santa Barbara County labels and sparkling by the glass or bottle. Beer, cider, and a three-drink zero-proof section round out the list without overreaching.
- What should I order?
- The Upper East Manhattan, built on WhistlePig Hatch Barrel Rye with vermouth and bitters at $25, is the clearest read on how the bar treats whiskey. For a lower-commitment start, the $18 Barrel Aged Old Fashioned uses Four Roses Yellow Label. The Rusty Tinman at $30 adds Booker's 2024-01 Springfield Batch Bourbon with Tin City sweet vermouth and Amaro Montenegro.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a full cocktail list with recognizable whiskey names rather than a short seasonal sheet, and wine drinkers who prefer tap pours by the glass or carafe over bottle-only lists. The zero-proof section gives non-drinkers three composed options at $9 rather than soda alone.
- When should I go?
- A good stop for a cocktail before or alongside dinner, when the barrel-aged and premium-spirit drinks make sense as a single considered pour rather than a rapid round.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $16 to $50, with barrel-aged classics at $18 and premium-spirit drinks at $25 to $50. Tap wine is $15 to $20 per glass or $60 to $80 per carafe. Beer and cider are $7 to $9, zero-proof cocktails $9, and non-alcoholic beer $6.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Wine is poured by glass and carafe from tap, and the list stays regional with and Santa Barbara County producers.
