The editorial take
Vault 31 Bar and Cafe pairs a spirit-organized cocktail list with a playful video-game theme. Drinks like Quantum, Phoenix Down, and Donkey Kong Barrel are built with recognizable ingredients and priced between $10 and $14. The cafe side offers named soda specials such as Shade Cloak and Froggy Chair, plus infused energy drinks and teas. A recent customer calls the Espresso Martini excellent. It’s a focused, affordable program that leans into its gaming identity without taking itself too seriously.
