The editorial take
West Side Bar & Grill runs a full bar with a wine list that reaches from Relax Riesling and Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay to Caymus and Stag's Leap Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon. Wine flights come in White, Cabernet, and Red configurations at $19. The cocktail side leans on a coffee cocktail section at $9, with Kamora & Coffee, Tavern Coffee, Cold Brew Coffee, and Irish Coffee. Mocktails are $7 each. The Pistachio martini has a testimonial calling it top notch.
- What should I order?
- Start with a Wine Flight at $19 to compare the White, Cabernet, and Red selections. For a single pour, the Stag's Leap Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon at $140 per bottle or the Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon at $135 per bottle are the deepest reds. The Kamora & Coffee at $9 is a solid coffee cocktail entry.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Wine drinkers who want named California and imported producers by the glass or bottle, and guests looking for a coffee cocktail or a $7 mocktail rather than a full cocktail list.
- What should I expect to spend?
- House wines start at $8 for 6oz and $28 per bottle. Named wines run from $32 for Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay to $140 for Stag's Leap Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon. Wine Flights are $19. Coffee Cocktails and Mocktails are $9 and $7 respectively.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The wine list carries named producers across white, rosé, sparkling, and red, with three flight configurations and price tiers from house pours to Caymus and Stag's Leap Artemis. The coffee cocktail section is a defined four-drink set at $9, and mocktails at $7 give a nonalcoholic option alongside the wine flights.
