The editorial take
The SnakeBite Restaurant runs a beverage program with unusual width for a single kitchen: seven named cocktails built on bourbon, vodka, gin, rum, and tequila; a wine list that moves from house taps through Chardonnay, Malbec, Prosecco, and by-the-bottle Shiraz; 15 craft beers on draft with a rotating selection; and a Zero Proof section with three named non-alcoholic cocktails plus multiple non-alcoholic beers. The cocktail list includes a Woodford Reserve Old Fashioned and a Pomegranate Margarita with El Jimador Blanco, Cointreau, and Pama. The beer side adds a $50 annual Tap Club membership for discounted draft.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Snakebite Old Fashioned, built on Woodford Reserve with lemon and aromatic bitters and house spiced Demerara syrup. For a lighter order, the 208 Refresher combines Bombay Gin, watermelon, cucumber, mint, and soda. The Pomegranate Margarita uses El Jimador Blanco, Cointreau, and Pama with a black salt rim. On the non-alcoholic side, the Zero Proof Idaho Mule pairs huckleberry syrup and lime with ginger beer.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups who want a full bar without splitting across separate venues: cocktail drinkers, wine drinkers working through white and red varietals, draft beer fans tracking the rotating taps, and guests ordering from the Zero Proof section or non-alcoholic beer list.
- What should I expect to spend?
- The Tap Club annual membership is $50 and includes discounted draft beer plus event and tap takeover details. Wine is available by the glass from house taps and by the bottle, including Mollydooker The Boxer Shiraz and Daou Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A single venue covering four beverage lanes with named specificity: seven cocktails across five base spirits, house wine on tap alongside a multi-varietal list, 15 craft beers on draft with a membership club, and a Zero Proof section with three named drinks plus non-alcoholic beer brands.
