The editorial take
Von's 1000Spirits pairs a scratch kitchen with a serious cocktail program. The $7.99 Scratch Martini, a Times 'Best Martini' pick, anchors a list of 20+ craft cocktails using house-made ingredients and Savor Spear® spirits. Tableside touches like smoked oak and spun sugar add theater. Mocktails get equal attention, with creative zero-proof options. A lively spot for spirit-focused drinking.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Signature Scratch Martini at $7.99—a Times Best Martini pick. For something deeper, the Smoked Oak & Cherry Manhattan ($23) is smoked tableside; the Skinny Bitch ($17) features spun sugar melted tableside. Whiskey fans should try the 10 Year Sazerac ($25) with Savor Spear® limited edition bourbon.
- Who will enjoy this place?

- What should I expect to spend?

- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A 75-year-old sourdough starter and a 5% Cooks Commission show kitchen pride, but the bar holds its own: a $7.99 award-winning martini, house brand Savor Spear® spirits, and theatrical tableside presentations like smoked oak and spun sugar. The name '1000Spirits' promises depth, and the cocktail list delivers variety across bourbon, gin, vodka, mezcal, and tequila.
