The editorial take
Two Trees Restaurant and Taps runs a beverage program built around an 18-drink cocktail list that moves from a gin-and-cucumber Romeo & Juliet to a mezcal-and-tequila Oaxacan Heat and a bourbon-based Ventucky Jungle Bird. Happy Hour drops seven cocktails to $10 and beer and wine to $6–$7, with a rotating IPA and schooner options. The nonalcoholic side is unusually specific, listing Green Star Organic Coffee, Café de Olla, fresh juices, Mexican Coke, and Topo Chico. Wine by the glass is limited to three Happy Hour pours.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Oaxacan Heat, built on tequila, mezcal, Aperol, pineapple, lemon, and Firewater, or the Romeo & Juliet with Empress Gin, cucumber, mint, lemon, and rose water. For a lighter pour, the Mimosa comes in six flavors and as a four-flavor flight.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone looking for a broad, named cocktail list with Happy Hour pricing, including brunch drinkers drawn to the mimosa flight and beer drinkers who want a rotating IPA or a michelada schooner.
- When should I go?
- Happy Hour is the clear value window, with $10 cocktails and $6–$7 beer and wine. The mimosa flight and Bloody Mary suit a weekend brunch visit.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Happy Hour cocktails are $10. Happy Hour beer ranges from $6 to $7, and Happy Hour wine by the glass is $7.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The cocktail list is the anchor: 18 named drinks across gin, tequila, mezcal, whiskey, bourbon, vodka, and sparkling wine bases, plus a six-flavor mimosa and a four-flavor flight. The nonalcoholic list is equally specific, with Café de Olla, Green Star Organic Coffee, fresh juices, and Mexican Coke.
