Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Twin Peaks runs a value-heavy beverage program built around daily specials and happy-hour discounts. The signature 29° draft beer arrives in frosted 22 oz. Mugs, and the cocktail list features a $6 Peaks Margarita and Classic Mules. House cocktails, wine half-price Tuesdays, and a rare bottle selection round out a program that prioritizes volume and price.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Peaks Margarita or a Classic Mule at $6. For beer, the signature 29° draft in a frosted 22 oz. Mug is the house move. The $6 Old Fashioned with Old Forester or Bulleit Rye offers a straightforward spirit choice.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who favor quantity and price over nuance will find plenty to like. Sports-bar regulars and groups looking for bucket deals and $5 spirit specials fit the profile. Those seeking an extensive wine list or craft cocktail innovation should look elsewhere.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour brings $1 off cocktails, wine, and liquor, plus discounted drafts. Tuesday offers half-price wine by the glass, making it a good day for wine drinkers. Any day works for the daily beer specials.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktail specials run $6, with happy hour taking $1 off. Beer specials range from $2.99 to $5 for 22 oz. Drafts, and buckets of five run $15 to $20. The $6 Old Fashioned is a low-cost spirit option.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The signature 29° draft beer served in frosted 22 oz. Mugs is a defining feature. The rare bottle selection of bourbons, whiskeys, and tequilas adds a layer beyond the typical sports bar. Daily specials and bucket deals reinforce a volume-focused identity.
