The Ward Bar has a true distillery-led cocktail program: Mill Mule, Ward Caesar, Spring & Tonic, Haskap Cosmo, Espresso Martini, Smoke & Mirrors, and Traditionally Fashioned all point back to house spirits.

Cocktails are the reason to book here, with Toddfather, Demerara Paloma, Espresso Martini, classics, and Mule variants carrying the visit.

La Reina puts drinks near the centre of the visit, with margaritas, rotating beer features, cocktail service, and a large tequila program shaping more than a basic dinner stop.

The drink list has a real theme, not just basics. Romulan Ale, Cold Butterbeer, Maple Old Fashioned, D20 Shots, beer, mocktails, coffee, and milkshakes all fit the room.

The drink list has real weight, with premium cocktails, martinis, an Atmosphere Caesar, Espresso Martini, Lychee Martini, local draft beer, and a rotating feature cocktail.

NV has a real drink program beside the food: house cocktails, classic cocktails, wine, beer, cider, cans, bottles, and non-alcoholic options all show up on the current menu.

A dedicated drinks list makes cocktails part of the visit, not an afterthought. That matters here because the food leans toward a night-out mix of pasta, steak, seafood, and dessert.

Martini and Vermouth Soda give Two Faces a cocktail lane, so the room still works when a visit starts with a classic mixed drink before moving into wine.

Cocktails are part of the core promise here, so Bev's works best when the visit starts with the bar rather than a full dinner plan.

The drinks side reaches beyond basics, with Park Palmer, Charles Street Collins, Exhibition Martini, Nova Sunrise, Caesars, local beer, cider, wine, cafe drinks, and milkshakes.
