How we score

The editorial take

A bar whose spirits shelf does the heavy lifting: scotch (DeWars, Johnny Walker, Macallan), whiskey (Jack Daniels, Knob Creek), gin (Hendricks, Bombay Sapphire), cognac in VS, VSOP, and XO, and small batch bourbon (Bookers, Bakers, Basil Hayden). Beer runs 60 varieties domestic and imported, with 5 on draft. The spirits breadth — roughly two dozen named bottles across five categories — is the reason to come; the beer list is a broad count that leans on volume over named labels.

What should I order?
Start with a scotch — Macallan or Johnny Walker — or a small batch bourbon like Basil Hayden. If cognac is the mood, Remy Martin comes in VS, VSOP, and XO tiers, so you can pick your age statement. Hendricks or Bombay Sapphire covers the gin side.
Who will enjoy this place?
Drinkers who want a deep, named spirits shelf — scotch, bourbon, gin, cognac — rather than a cocktail-first program. Beer drinkers who value variety over draft depth will find 60 domestic and imported options, five of them on draft.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?
The cognac range is the tell: Remy Martin, Courvoisier, and Hennessey each offered in VS, VSOP, and XO. That tiered structure, alongside small batch bourbons (Bookers, Bakers, Basil Hayden) and a broad scotch, gin, and whiskey lineup, sets the spirits shelf apart from a standard back bar.

Beverage categories

We only score what a venue sets out to do. Categories a venue doesn't attempt are left unscored rather than penalized.

Beer

Inebrious Beer score: 82 out of 100

Sixty varieties of domestic and imported beer, with 5 on draft and a linked beer menu for the full selection. The breadth is real, but the strength is a count rather than a named, curated list; five draft lines is modest. A solid, wide-ranging beer program that stops short of standout.

Menu strengths

  • 60 varieties of domestic and imported beers, with 5 on draft.
  • A dedicated beer menu covers the full selection.

Standout selections

  • The bar has 60 varieties of domestic and imported beers with 5 on draft.

Depth across five categories, with cognac tiered by age statement.

  • Cognac offered in VS, VSOP, and XO tiers across Remy Martin, Courvoisier, and Hennessey.
