Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
A broad beverage program built for a sports-bistreaux crowd: 12 named cocktails, 19 drafts, 10 bottled beers, five hard seltzers, and eight wines by the glass. The spirits list runs from Grey Goose and Tito's through Maker's Mark, Elijah Craig, Woodford Reserve, Balvenie 14, and WhistlePig Piggyback 6. Spirit-free drinkers get three non-alcoholic beers and two Seedlip cocktails. Cocktails land 9.00–15.00, wine 8–12, and spirit-free drinks 12.00.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Maker's Old Fashioned, made with Maker's Mark whisky, simple syrup, angostura and orange bitters, and black cherry at 14.00. If you want tequila, the Top Shelf Margarita uses Don Julio reposado, Cointreau, fresh lime and agave with a salt rim, and takes a 2 Grand Marnier floater.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups ordering across categories: one person on a Bulleit-based Black Cherry Manhattan, another on a Shiner Bock draft, another on a Kim Crawford sauvignon blanc, and a non-drinker on a Marg-No-Rita or a Heineken 0.0.
- When should I go?
- A useful stop when the group wants cocktails, drafts, wine, and spirit-free options from the same list without splitting the order across venues.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run 9.00–15.00, with margaritas 11.00–14.00 and a Grand Marnier floater or moonshine swirl at 2. Wine by the glass is 8–12, and spirit-free cocktails are 12.00.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The spirit-free side is not an afterthought: two Seedlip cocktails, Marg-No-Rita and Old Refashioned, sit alongside three non-alcoholic beers. On the spirits side, the whisky/whiskey list carries Balvenie 14, WhistlePig Piggyback 6, and High West Double Oak.
