The Bar Program · Est. on Courthouse Square

Pour it slow.
Pour it right.

Florida craft on rotation. Cocktails built behind the stick, not from a printout. A liquor shelf that grew up. And the kind of bartender who knows what you want before you've finished saying hi.

Brewed in the Sunshine State

The Florida Pour List

We could fill every line with West Coast IPAs and East Coast stouts and nobody would complain. But this is Florida, and Florida makes beer worth pouring. These are the rooms we keep coming back to.

Cigar City
Tampa · Est. 2009
Jai Alai · Florida Cracker · Invasion Pale

The Standard-Bearer

The brewery that put Florida on the national beer map. Jai Alai isn't just a beer in this state — it's the default order. Big, bold, citrus-forward, built for ninety degrees and humidity. Always at least one Cigar City handle pouring. Usually two.

The Experimental Kings

The brewery that proved Florida could make weird beer that wasn't just weird. Their Maple Bacon Coffee Porter has its own fan club. Hop Gun is the everyday workhorse — bright, tropical, dangerously drinkable.

3 Daughters
St. Petersburg · Est. 2013
Beach Blonde · Bimini Twist · Rod Bender

The Waterfront Crew

St. Pete's beachfront brewery, named for the owner's three daughters. Beach Blonde Ale is exactly what you want on a Tuesday afternoon, and Bimini Twist IPA travels north well — it shows up on our rotation often.

Our Neighbors Up The Road

Tarpon Springs, about an hour south. Wavemaker Amber Lager and Tropic Pressure Hazy IPA are mainstays here when we can pull them. The kind of local-state pride that means we'd stock them even if the beer were just okay. The beer is more than okay.

Big Storm
Tarpon Springs · Est. 2012
Wavemaker · Tropic Pressure · Arcus IPA
Coppertail
Tampa · Est. 2014
Free Dive IPA · Night Swim · Unholy Trippel

The Quiet Ones

The brewery that never has a bad pour and never gets the press they deserve. Free Dive IPA is a clinic in restraint, Night Swim Porter the answer when somebody asks "what's the dark one?" Quiet kings.

The Sarasota Showmen

The circus-themed brewery from down the gulf. Looks like a gimmick from the outside, but Trapeze Monk Tripel and Circus City Lager are serious beers behind the marketing. Don't let the calliope fool you.

Big Top
Sarasota · Est. 2013

Plus rotating guests — 7venth Sun, Wicked Barley, Motorworks, Crooked Can, and whoever else we can talk into a line. We try to keep at least four Florida taps pouring at any given time.

III.
House Recipes

Built Behind The Bar

Eight house cocktails, recipes printed honest. Fresh citrus, made syrups, real ice. No sour mix, no sad pre-batched margaritas. If you want something off the page, tell the bartender what you like and trust them.

№ 01

The Sidebar Old Fashioned

  • 2 oz Bulleit Bourbon
  • Demerara sugar
  • Angostura bitters
  • Orange peel · expressed

Stirred over a big rock, garnished with the peel, no fruit salad. The standard, done the way it should be.

№ 02

Inverness Sour

  • 2 oz Bourbon
  • ¾ oz fresh lemon
  • ¾ oz simple syrup
  • Egg white · dry shake

Citrus Authority approved. Shaken with the egg white for the foam, then over fresh ice. Three drops of bitters on top.

№ 03

The Courthouse Margarita

  • 2 oz Espolòn Blanco
  • 1 oz fresh lime
  • ¾ oz Cointreau
  • ½ oz agave

Salt or no salt, on the rocks. Doubles up every Tuesday. The benchmark.

№ 04

Painkiller

  • 2 oz Pusser's Navy Rum
  • 4 oz pineapple
  • 1 oz orange juice
  • 1 oz coconut cream
  • Fresh nutmeg, grated

Tropical, dangerous, perfect. Built in the glass, the British Virgin Islands way.

№ 05

Espresso Martini

  • 2 oz Tito's Vodka
  • 1 oz Kahlúa
  • 1 oz fresh espresso
  • Three coffee beans · float

Shaken hard for the foam. Dessert and nightcap in one. Be warned.

№ 06

The Big Garlic Bloody Mary

  • 2 oz Tito's Vodka
  • House Bloody mix
  • Pickled garnish · enough to be lunch

Named after the pizza. BOGO all Sunday brunch, 10 AM to 2 PM.

№ 07

Sidebar Mule

  • 2 oz Tito's Vodka
  • Fresh ginger beer
  • ½ oz fresh lime
  • Mint sprig

In the copper cup, the way Smirnoff intended in 1941. Spicy ginger up front, lime to close.

№ 08

Florida Sunset

  • 2 oz Espolòn Reposado
  • 3 oz orange juice
  • Grenadine · floated
  • Soda splash

Watch it layer in the glass. Watch the sun go down on Courthouse Square. Order another.

Off-menu drinks are encouraged. Tell us what you like, what you're in the mood for, or just say "surprise me" — that's a real order here.

IV.
Top, middle, well

By The Glass · By The Bottle

The Wine Card

Not a sommelier's list. A working bar's wine card — bottles that pair with our food and pour by the glass without arguing about it.
