Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux operates a beverage program built for volume and variety rather than specialization. The cocktail list runs 13 deep, with classics like the Maker's Old Fashioned and Black Cherry Manhattan alongside a dedicated margarita section and frozen options. Eighteen drafts cover lagers, IPAs, stouts, and cider, with bottles and seltzers filling out the rest. Wine by the glass stays in familiar territory, and a spirit-free section offers Seedlip-based cocktails and non-alcoholic beers. The spirits list spans vodka, gin, agave, bourbon, and cordials with several premium names.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Maker's Old Fashioned, a straightforward build with Maker's Mark, angostura and orange bitters, and black cherry. If you prefer something lighter, the Blueberry Coconut Mojito combines Malibu coconut rum, muddled fresh mint and blueberries, pineapple juice, and soda water. For beer, the Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA is a solid draft pick at 6.4% ABV.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups looking for a broad drink list that covers cocktails, beer, wine, and spirit-free options without committing to one style. The range of margaritas, drafts, and non-alcoholic choices suits mixed preferences at the same table.
- When should I go?
- When you want a drink list with enough breadth to satisfy different orders at one table, or when a sports-focused setting with an extensive draft selection fits the occasion.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails range from 9.00 to 15.00, with margaritas at 11.00–14.00 and spritz or fizz drinks at 13.00–13.49. Wine by the glass is 8–12. Spirit-free cocktails are 12.00 each.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The combination of a 13-cocktail list, 18 drafts, eight wines by the glass, and a Seedlip-based spirit-free section under one roof.
