The editorial take
Troop's bar program leans playful and house-made, with a charred peach-infused rye Old Fashioned, a frozen Painkiller, and a build-your-own mocktail. Cocktails run $14–$17; wine and beer lists are approachable. The non-alcoholic lineup is unusually deep, from NA beers to sparkling rosé. Customers call out a spicy salty drink as a favorite, though some cocktails skew sweet.
