Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The Tee Box pairs a golf-simulation setup with a beverage program that goes deeper than the sports-bar template. The Hand Crafted Cocktails list runs twelve drinks, from a New Fashioned with Knob Creek Birdie Rye to a spicy Albatross margarita. The Vault pours allocated bourbon, rye, rum, and tequila, while six craft taps and a small canned selection cover beer. Wine stays house-level white and champagne. Expect a serious whiskey shelf next to approachable $12.50 cocktails.
- What should I order?
- Start with the New Fashioned, built on Knob Creek Birdie Rye with a bourbon-pecan coffee ice cube, or the Albatross spicy margarita with blanco tequila, mezcal, ginger, lime, turmeric, and habanero bitters. From the Vault, Eagle Rare 10 Year is a measured pour at $10.00/1oz, and the Foursquare Indelible rum offers a different direction.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- This suits drinkers who want a real whiskey selection without leaving the golf-simulator setting, and groups where some order cocktails and others want a craft draft or a non-alcoholic beer.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Hand Crafted Cocktails are $10.00-$15.50, with most at $12.50. House white wine is $9.00/glass, champagne $5.00/glass, craft drafts $5.20-$10.00 for full pours, and canned beer $5.20-$7.30. Vault spirits range from $5.00/1oz to $95.00/1oz depending on expression.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A golf bar and restaurant with Trackman simulation bays, a craft kitchen, handcrafted cocktails, and a Vault of allocated and limited-release spirits across bourbon, rye, rum, tequila, scotch, and brandy.
