Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Waterfront runs a beverage program with genuine range: cocktails span tropical, martini, smoke, and dessert styles, with named spirits like Hendricks, Teremana, and Woodford Reserve. The wine list moves from by-the-glass standards to a bottle range of $28-$350, including Champagne and Caymus. Draft beer leans on Florida breweries, and the spirits list includes Don Julio 1942 and Macallan 18yr. Happy hour drops cocktails to $8 and drafts to about $4.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Waterfront Cooler, a Hendricks gin drink with St. Germain, cucumber, mint, lime, and agave. For something with smoke and heat, the El Diablo mixes chipotle tequila, mezcal, grilled pineapple, and cilantro. The Double Trouble brings Woodford Reserve together with PX sherry and two bitters.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone who wants a broad drink list without settling into one lane: cocktail drinkers, wine-by-the-glass regulars, draft beer fans looking for Florida breweries, and spirits drinkers who care about premium labels like Don Julio 1942 or Macallan 18yr.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is the value play, with all cocktails at $8, wines by the glass at $6-$8, and drafts at $4-$4.25. The full dinner menu is when the complete cocktail, wine, and spirits lists are available.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Happy hour cocktails are $8, wines by the glass $6-$8, and drafts $4-$4.25. At dinner, cocktails are $16, wines by the glass $8-$16, and drafts $8-$8.75. Bottle wine runs $28-$350, and bottled beer is $6.50-$8.50.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The combination of a 12-tap Florida-focused draft list, a cocktail menu with named spirits across eight or more categories, and a spirits list that includes Don Julio 1942, Macallan 18yr, and Remy Martin XO gives the program unusual breadth for a single venue.
