Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Westside Bar & Grill runs a beverage program built on daily rotating cocktail and shot specials, with named drinks tied to specific days of the week. The Sunday Screwdriver, Tuesday Long Island Ice Tea, and Shot Saturday mystery shot anchor the cocktail side, while Windsor Wednesday and Fireball Friday drive the spirits specials. The program is broad in its daily specials and narrow in its named offerings outside the cocktail and spirits lists.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Sunday Screwdriver, a rail vodka and orange juice special at $3.00, or the Tuesday Long Island Ice Tea at $4.00. For spirits, the Windsor Wednesday pairs Windsor Canadian Whiskey with a single mixer for $2.50, and Fireball Friday offers a Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey shot for $2.00. The Tuesday Flavored Long Island Ice Tea ($5.00) and Shot Saturday mystery shot ($2.50) round out the cocktail specials.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- People who plan their drinking around a specific day's special will find the most to work with here, particularly those drawn to whiskey specials, rail mixers, and rotating cocktail and shot deals. The domestic beer bucket and Saturday wine glass give lighter-drinking groups a defined option.
- When should I go?
- The specials are tied to specific days: Sunday for the Screwdriver, Tuesday for the Long Island Ice Teas, Wednesday for Windsor Canadian Whiskey, Thursday for the domestic beer bucket, Friday for the Fireball shot, and Saturday for the wine glass and mystery shot. A visit matched to the day's special is the most supported way to use the program.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Prices are concentrated in the specials: $2.00 for the Fireball Friday shot, $2.50 for the Windsor Wednesday and Shot Saturday, $3.00 for the Sunday Screwdriver, $3.50 for the Saturday Wine Glass, $4.00 for the Tuesday Long Island Ice Tea, and $13.00 for the Thursday bucket of domestic bottles with a coozie. The Tuesday Flavored Long Island Ice Tea is $5.00.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The program is organized around a full week of named daily specials rather than a fixed cocktail list. Each day carries its own drink or shot, from the Sunday Screwdriver through Fireball Friday, with rail mixers and domestic beer options supporting the structure.
