Review methodology and evidence standardsThe editorial take
The beverage program at Truman's Bar & Grill centers on a substantial bourbon list with 2 oz pours, per-pour pricing, and a build-your-own flight option starting at $12.00. The list includes a cocktail suggestions section with recipes for classics like the Old Fashioned, Manhattan, and Boulevardier, and states there is no up-charge for cocktails—guests pay only for the bourbon. Craft beer is also available. The focus is clearly on bourbon, with a range of proofs and tasting notes, and the flexibility to add a splash of Old Limestone water or a regular mixer at no charge.
- What should I order?
- Start with the build-your-own flight to compare bourbons—four 1 oz pours or two bourbons plus two beers, from $12.00. For a full cocktail, the Old Fashioned recommends Heaven's Door, or try the Boulevardier with Old Forester 1920.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Bourbon drinkers who want to explore a range of proofs and prices, and anyone who appreciates a classic cocktail made with a bourbon of their choice without an up-charge.
- When should I go?

- What should I expect to spend?
- Bourbon pours range from $7.50 for Bulleit to $21.00 for Calumet 15 year. Flights start at $12.00. Cocktails carry no up-charge beyond the bourbon selected.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The no-up-charge cocktail policy and the build-your-own flight option let guests pair any bourbon with a classic recipe or a flight without paying extra for the cocktail construction.
