The editorial take
Top Shelf Lounge builds its full bar around signature cocktails and a spirits list that gets specific during happy hour. The Stolichnaya Vodka Martini at $8, with Stoli Elit excluded, sits alongside Well Tequila Drinks at $5 and Well Gin Martinis at $6. A curated wine list and craft beers round out the offerings, with House Wines at $6 and Bud Light Drafts at $3. The program is direct and price-conscious without pretending to be more than it is.
