The editorial take
Wilma's runs a wide beverage program across cocktails, wine, beer, spirits, and non-alcoholic drinks. Seven named signature cocktails, including Bring Me a Shrubbery and Riverwalk Rye, are priced $13-$15 with specific spirits and ingredients spelled out. Wine moves from sparkling through whites, reds, and rosé by glass and bottle. Draft beer covers local and craft names, while the Blind Tiger mocktail section and Giesan Zero N.A. Wine give non-drinkers real options.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Bring Me a Shrubbery — Tito's vodka, house-made blackberry shrub, fresh lemon juice, and club soda at $14. For a spirit-forward pour, the Riverwalk Rye combines Redemption rye whiskey, Cointreau, and orange bitters at $15. Non-drinkers can take a Blind Tiger mocktail at $8, or add a house spirit for $6.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups sizing up a full bar menu will find cocktails, wine, beer, spirits, and non-alcoholic drinks side by side. Anyone ordering a mocktail gets four named Blind Tiger options rather than a lone fallback, and wine drinkers can choose by the glass or bottle across sparkling, white, red, and rosé.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour lists specialty cocktails, wine by the glass, draft beer, and all beer, making it a reasonable stop for an early drink. The Wine Social event, which paired a trio of wines from an artisanal collection with passed hors d'oeuvres and live music, shows the venue also hosts seated tasting occasions.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Signature cocktails run $13-$15. Wine by the glass is $8-$12, with bottles $32-$45. Draft and bottled beers are $5-$8. Mocktails are $8, or $14 with a house spirit, and Giesan Zero N.A. Wine is $10 by the glass, $14 for a larger pour, or $36 by the bottle.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The non-alcoholic side is unusually built out: four named Blind Tiger mocktails with the option to add a house spirit, plus Giesan Zero N.A. Wine in sauvignon blanc, rosé, and red blend. The spirits list covers seven categories with multiple named brands each, from Basil Hayden and Blanton's to Casamigos and Don Julio.
