The editorial take
The cocktail program here is the main event: a spring-summer 2025 menu branded 'The Offices of William Wolfskill' with a 'Signatures' section and nine named originals, all $15, spanning vodka, gin, mezcal, tequila, rum, bourbon, and rye. Builds lean spirit-forward and stirred, as in the Tulsa Turnaround and California Dime. A five-wine list covers sparkling through red by glass and bottle, and ten canned beers plus a michelada round out the options, with a boilermaker add-on for +$5.
- What should I order?
- Start with the California Dime — reposado tequila, pechuga mezcal, blanc vermouth, dry vermouth, suze, cucumber, and citrus oleo saccharum — or the Tulsa Turnaround with rye, barley whisky, bénédictine, pecan, and peach. On the beer side, the michelada is Buenaveza with housemade miche mix at $10.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a long, named cocktail list built across base spirits rather than a short standard roster. The wine and canned beer lists give non-cocktail drinkers a workable path, with glass and bottle pricing across five wines and a ten-can beer spread.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $15 each. Wine is $8–$14 by the glass and $30–$50 by the bottle. Canned beers are $6–$10, and a boilermaker runs +$5 over the beer price with a well shot or Underberg.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A nine-drink 'Wolfskill Originals' roster under a 'The Offices of William Wolfskill' banner, mixing spirits from vodka and shochu to pechuga mezcal and amaro di angostura, alongside a five-wine list and ten canned beers with a boilermaker option.
