Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
A craft beverage program with a clear personality: a self-serve beer wall invites ounce-by-ounce exploration, while the cocktail list leans on seasonal ingredients like strawberry puree and hibiscus syrup. The New Day Old Fashioned, built on Bulleit Rye and New Day Farm maple syrup, and the fruit-forward Craft House Margarita anchor the menu. Wine stays modest with a few regional picks. A practical spot for casual drinkers who like choices.
- What should I order?
- Start with the New Day Old Fashioned for a maple-sweetened rye twist, or the Craft House Margarita if you prefer something fruity. For beer, sample the self-serve wall by the ounce to find your favorite. The Hibiscus Cooler offers a non-alcoholic path with cranberry and lime.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Craft cocktail fans seeking seasonal spins, beer enthusiasts who like to taste before committing, and groups looking for an interactive drinking experience. The full bar and self-serve beer wall make it easy for mixed crowds to find something.
- What should I expect to spend?
- No prices are listed on the drinks page, so cost is unverified. Expect typical craft bar pricing for the area, with happy hour specials offering potential savings.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The self-serve beer wall is the centerpiece, letting guests pour their own samples by the ounce—a rarity that adds a playful, exploratory element.
