The editorial take
Wet City pairs a full bar with a house brewery, earning Best Cocktails from Beat in 2024. The Spaghett—Aperol and lemon topped with Miller High Life in the bottle—has drawn national attention. Cocktails like the Blue Hibiscus Margarita and Old Forester with chamomile honey show range. House beers cover hazy IPAs and fruited sours, though traditional lagers are scarce. Wine is minimal but includes a sparkling red. A lively spot for creative drinking.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Spaghett, the Aperol-Miller High Life mix that put the bar on the map. For a tequila route, the Blue Hibiscus Margarita. Bourbon drinkers should try the Old Forester with Green Chartreuse and chamomile honey. On the beer side, the Hazy IPA (6.9% ABV) or a Fruited Sour if you like tart.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Craft cocktail enthusiasts looking for inventive, media-recognized drinks, and beer fans who appreciate a rotating lineup of house-brewed sours and IPAs. The venue suits those who like a lively, retro-ish atmosphere and don't mind a smaller wine selection.
- When should I go?
- Evenings when the bar is lively and bartenders are attentive, per guest reviews. The rotating beer list suggests repeat visits to catch new brews.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The Spaghett, served in a High Life bottle, has earned national press and helped win Best Cocktails 2024. The venue is also a microbrewery, so you can get creative cocktails and house-brewed beer under one roof, a combination not common in the area.
