The editorial take
Tower Park Waterfront Grille pairs a serious cocktail list with a local-leaning wine selection.

Wines from Michael David and Rombauer anchor a short but regional list. Beer stays generic, but mocktails and unlimited soft drinks cover the rest.

- Start with the Seasonal Margarita Flight, four tastings built around rotating flavors. For a fuller pour, the Tower Park Old Fashioned delivers whiskey, orange bitters, and a luxardo cherry over ice.
