Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program leans on a rotating seasonal cocktail menu with Tower Bar Favorites, House Creations, and classics like the Espresso Martini and Smoked Old Fashioned. Wine by the glass covers red, white, and sparkling, and the rotating house beer list spans several styles at $7. A dedicated non-alcoholic menu with mocktails and zero-proof Moodbrü tonics is the standout.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Espresso Martini or the Smoked Old Fashioned, both listed under Tower Bar Favorites. For a non-alcoholic option, the Staying Afloat combines Seedlip, No-Maro, lemon and pineapple juice, rosemary syrup, and bitters. The Mo is the house signature if you want something built on vodka and lemonade.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone who wants a serious non-alcoholic drink alongside a full cocktail list, or a group where some are drinking wine or beer and others want zero-proof options. The rotating menus mean the specific drinks change, so it rewards repeat visits.
- When should I go?
- The daytime menu includes Irish Coffee, Paloma, Mimosa, and Bloody Mary, while the evening menu shifts to the full cocktail, wine, beer, and spirits selection.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Most cocktails are $12–$14, with the Midnight Elixir at $40. Wine by the glass runs $10–$14, rotating house beers are $7, and non-alcoholic mocktails and tonics range from $7 to $12.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A dedicated non-alcoholic menu with mocktails and zero-proof terpene tonics is unusual for a bar with a full cocktail program. The rotating seasonal cocktail list, house beer selection, and wine-by-the-glass range give the program unusual breadth for a single venue.
