Bar Joe Cocktails, Wine, Beer and Snacks Overview

This page summarises the drinks and snack list that Bar Joe, the bar inside Spoonfed, published in an archived snapshot. It leaves out prices and is not a current menu. For background on the bar itself, see the Bar Joe page.

Cocktails

The cocktails were split into two moods.

Something familiar. Classic brunch and patio drinks: a peach Bellini, a Bloody Mary built on the house mix, a mimosa, a grapefruit-based Paloma and an Aperol spritz.

Something different. House creations with playful names. They included a gin gimlet made with lime cordial, a vodka drink with Lillet rosé and lemon oil, a rum drink with grapefruit and rose-coconut orgeat, a rye drink with espresso-vanilla syrup and orange bitters, and a chili-and-lime tequila margarita topped with a salted lager.

Drinks without alcohol

The “taking it easy” section offered a basil and pepper tonic, a citrus-chamomile soda, a jasmine tea cider and a turmeric-ginger lemonade.

Wine

  • Sparkling: a Bordeaux-style sparkling wine, a Veneto prosecco and a Loire rosé.
  • White and rosé: a semillon from Lake County, a Burgundy chardonnay, a Loire chenin blanc, a Provence rosé, an Albariño from Rías Baixas and a dry Finger Lakes riesling.
  • Red: a chilled Austrian Zweigelt blend, a Napa cabernet sauvignon and a mourvèdre from El Dorado County.

The page noted that a longer wine list was available on request.

Beer

Four taps rotated through an Italian lager and three California beers, including a pale ale, a red ale and a blood-orange IPA. The house michelada combined lager with a Bloody Mary blend, soy and a spicy salted rim. Bottles and cans covered California ales, an IPA, a stout, a hard seltzer, a Vermont dry cider and a Wisconsin lager.

Finger food

Snacks were meant for sharing: crispy chicken wings, Wisconsin cheese curds with honey mustard, stacked salmon tartare with wonton chips, green hummus with herbed flatbread, beef sliders, a big bowl of fries with ranch and curry ketchup, and the house clam dip with chips.

Dishes were labelled for gluten-free and vegan diners. Food from the wider kitchen is described on the lunch and dinner page.
