Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The drink program leans on breadth rather than depth. Eight cocktails are written out with their base spirits, from a house-tequila Wonders Margarita to a bourbon Old Fashioned and an Espresso Martini with fresh espresso and Kahlúa. Beer carries the most range: seven drafts including Karbach Love Street and Shiner Bock, seven bottles, and a rotating IPA the bartender can identify. Wine stops at three house options, and the Shots section stays with recognizable names like Jameson and Patron Silver.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Wonders Margarita, built on house tequila with fresh lime, triple sec, and a salt rim, or the Old Fashioned with bourbon, bitters, sugar, orange peel, and a luxardo cherry. For beer, ask the bartender for this week's rotating IPA, or take the Karbach Love Street or Shiner Bock on draft.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups ordering rounds of straightforward drinks will find the Shots section and draft list easy to work with.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Fourteen named beers split evenly between draft and bottle, with a rotating IPA that changes weekly and is identified by the bartender. The cocktail list specifies base spirits and ingredients for all eight drinks, and the bar is described as full, covering tequila, bourbon, vodka, rum, gin, and Kahlúa across the menu.
