How we score

The editorial take

The Salty Dog Bar & Grill offers a broad non-alcoholic beverage selection that goes beyond the usual soda gun. The N/A Beverage section lists sodas, juices, lemonade, iced tea, milk, energy drinks, and bottled water, with a Ginger Beer Can at $3.00 and Strawberry Lemonade at $4.00. A Rootbeer Float appears under Kids & Desserts for $6.00. This is a practical, family-friendly drink list rather than a crafted mocktail program, but it covers the basics with clear pricing and enough variety to satisfy most non-drinking guests.

What should I order?: Order the Strawberry Lemonade for a tart, fruit-forward non-alcoholic option, or the Ginger Beer Can for a crisp, spicy soda alternative. Both are listed on the N/A Beverage section with clear pricing.
Who will enjoy this place?: Designated drivers, families with children, and anyone seeking a straightforward non-alcoholic drink will find useful options here. The list includes milk, juices, and energy drinks, so it accommodates a range of preferences without fuss.
When should I go?: This is a suitable stop for a casual meal any time of day, especially when you want a non-alcoholic beverage that is more interesting than water but still simple and affordable.
What should I expect to spend?: Non-alcoholic drinks are modestly priced: the Ginger Beer Can is $3.00, the Strawberry Lemonade is $4.00, and the Rootbeer Float is $6.00. Expect to spend under $10 per person on non-alcoholic beverages.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?: The non-alcoholic list is unusually broad for a bar and grill, spanning sodas, juices, lemonades, iced tea, milk, energy drinks, and bottled water. The inclusion of a Ginger Beer Can and a Strawberry Lemonade at specific prices gives the section more definition than a typical fountain-only lineup.
