Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux runs a broad beverage program, from a lengthy cocktail list with Louisiana touches to an extensive draft and bottle beer selection. The Espresso Martini uses nitro-infused espresso and praline liqueur, while the nonalcoholic lineup includes Seedlip-based cocktails. Wine-by-the-glass spans prosecco to cabernet. A customer-praised ginger beer drink, the O-line, shows attention to balance.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Espresso Martini, which layers Wheatley vodka, Mr. Black cold brew liqueur, Evangeline's praline pecan liqueur, and Owen's nitro-infused espresso.
