The editorial take
The drinks menu at this restaurant runs wide: a signature cocktail list built on named brands like Maker's Mark, Bulleit, and Don Julio, a dedicated margarita section, and a spirits roster that stretches from Buffalo Trace and Angel's Envy to Ilegal mezcal and Hendrick's. Beer covers drafts, bottles, and seltzers, wine stays a tight eight by the glass, and a Seedlip-based spirit-free section handles the no-alcohol side.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Black Cherry Manhattan, built on Bulleit bourbon with sweet vermouth, black cherry purée, and angostura bitters, or the Maker's Old Fashioned with Maker's Mark, both at 17.00. In the margarita section, the Spicy Mango Margarita uses Espolòn reposado and Ancho Reyes chile ancho liqueur with a tajin rim at 13.00.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups ordering rounds from a long cocktail and margarita list, whiskey drinkers who want a recognizable bourbon and whiskey roster, and guests avoiding alcohol who still want a composed drink rather than soda.
- When should I go?
- A straightforward stop for a drink alongside a meal, with the margarita and signature cocktail sections doing the heavy lifting for anyone ordering before dinner.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run 10.00 to 17.00, margaritas 12.00 to 16.00 with a 2.00 Grand Marnier floater option, spirit-free cocktails 15.00, and wines by the glass 8.00 to 12.00.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The range is the point: martinis, margaritas, spritzes, whiskey drinks, and a 32 oz. Death Valley signature cup share the menu with a spirits list covering bourbon, whiskey, agave, vodka, gin, and rum, plus Seedlip spirit-free cocktails and non-alcoholic beers.
