The editorial take
The Treehouse is a bar with a broad beverage program: 20-plus local and imported drafts, a cocktail list built around house infusions and creative riffs, and a wine selection spanning California, Europe, and beyond. Non-alcoholic options include THC sodas and zero-proof cocktails. Prices are fair, with Miller Lite at $3 and an espresso martini at $11.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Stoli Doli, a house martini with pineapple-infused vodka. For beer, try Great Lakes Oktoberfest or Market Garden Prosperity Hefe. The Smoke On The Beach mixes Hornitos Pineapple tequila and Del Maguey mezcal. Non-drinkers might order the Ritual Paloma.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Craft beer fans will appreciate the local Ohio drafts. Cocktail enthusiasts will find creative mixes like the Spicy Cucumber Margarita. Groups with mixed preferences are covered by the wide wine list and non-alcoholic options, including THC sodas.
- When should I go?
- Anytime, but happy hour may be a good time to sample a cocktail, though one guest felt a happy hour drink was overpriced. The bar has a chill vibe suitable for an after-work drink.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails range from $11 to $13. Beers go from $3 for Miller Lite to $15 for Delirium Tremens. Modelo buckets are $25 for five cans. Non-alcoholic drinks are around $6 to $10.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A house-infused Stoli Doli martini and a memorial cocktail named 'The Rock n' Roll' add personality. The beer list leans heavily on local Ohio breweries, and the non-alcoholic menu includes THC-infused sodas and zero-proof spirits.
