The editorial take
Unicorn's cocktail menu is a confectionery of sweet, whimsical drinks – Capri Sun, Unicorn Jizz, Pink Flamingo – built on a broad spirit base from vodka to mezcal. The beer list balances local drafts with playful ciders and seltzers. Non-alcoholic options are equally considered. It's a carnival-themed bar where the drinks lean playful and potent, not precious.
- What should I order?
- For the full experience, start with a Capri Sun (fruit punch vodka, sour, lemon, lemon lime soda) or a Pink Flamingo (pink lemonade vodka, cranberry, club soda). Gin fans can try the Sparkly Unicorn. If you prefer a savory twist, the Cuke Tease non-alcoholic drink offers cucumber and ginger beer.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who appreciate playful, sweet cocktails and a festive, inclusive atmosphere. The creative names and colorful ingredients appeal to those seeking a fun night out, especially in groups. The presence of non-alcoholic mocktails and beers also makes it welcoming to designated drivers and non-drinkers.
- When should I go?
- Evenings are lively with weekly events like karaoke, drag queen bingo, trivia, and cabaret, making it a good spot for a night out. The rotating jello shots suggest a party vibe that fits later hours.
- What should I expect to spend?
- La Croix is $4. Most drink prices are not listed, so expect a moderate to high range for a themed bar.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A carnival-themed bar with two levels: Unicorn at street level and Narwhal, a basement bar and arcade. The drink menu is a standout for its whimsical, sweet cocktails with names like Witchy Titty and Bikini Power Bottom, plus a rotating selection of jello shots. The inclusion of a robust non-alcoholic menu and local beer options adds depth.

How it sits with the food
The sweet, fruit-forward cocktails pair naturally with bar snacks and carnival-style fare. The spicy ginger beer in drinks like Princess Peach could complement fried foods. For beer, the crisp Golden Pilsner would cut through rich, fried appetizers.
