The cocktail menu always includes seasonal options so this is a perfect place to come to warm up with a delicious cocktail.

The People's Last Stand makes almost everything from scratch. In fact, the juices, bitters, syrups, infusions and even the mixers are hand crafted from fresh and local ingredients.

At The Standard Pour, you will find yourself outside of the normal bar scene. This spot has a vast selection of liquors and the menu of cocktails includes your favorite classics as well as some for unique and fun options. The cocktail menu also offers seasonal options so it's great in the summer or if you are looking for a holiday cocktail for the winter season.
