The editorial take
Troupe429 runs a cocktail program with a clear signature in the Glamazon, a mango-and-pineapple vodka number, and a creative list that includes an espresso martini built with La Colombe coffee. Prices stay approachable, with cocktails at $13-$15. The wine list offers seven by-the-glass pours at $11, plus Moët & Chandon. Beer spans witbier to double IPA, and the nonalcoholic corner includes frozen PEZ slushes. A broad, easy-drinking bar.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Glamazon, the signature cocktail: Absolut mango and pineapple vodka, mango nectar, pineapple juice, and grenadine. For a coffee kick, the 8 Ball Espresso Martini layers La Colombe coffee with Absolut Vanilia and Kikisi coffee liqueur. Both sit in the $13-$15 range.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who like a wide, affordable range will find something: cocktail fans can work through a creative list, beer drinkers have drafts from Allagash to Sip of Sunshine, and non-drinkers get a dedicated mocktail menu with frozen options. The $13-$15 cocktail price is easy on the wallet.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $13-$15, wines by the glass $11, beers $5-$9, and mocktails $6-$9. Well drinks are $4, with Absolut vodka and Jack Daniel's at $6. Happy hour includes $4 Corona Premier bottles and Stella Artois draft.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The bar names a signature cocktail—the Glamazon—and backs it with a large, creative menu that includes a coffee-spiked 8 Ball Espresso Martini and playful frozen numbers. The nonalcoholic side gets real attention, with six mocktails including frozen PEZ slushes, a rarity at this price point.
