Cocktail program

What makes Ritual House's bar program distinctive

House-made

House syrups & shrubs

Ritual House makes its own syrups (demerara, hibiscus, vanilla) and shrubs (blackberry, smoked pineapple) in-house — the backbone of what separates a craft cocktail program from a standard bar.

Zero-proof

Dedicated NA cocktail menu

A dedicated non-alcoholic cocktail list using premium spirit alternatives (Seedlip, Lyre's), house shrubs, and fresh juice — not an afterthought. Every NA drink is built to the same standard as the full bar menu.

Seasonal

Rotating seasonal menu

The cocktail menu rotates with the seasons — expect different flavor profiles in winter versus summer. Ask your bartender about current off-menu specials and limited-run ingredients.

Wine program

Curated wine & bubbles

A compact, curated wine list spanning Champagne, Prosecco, rotating whites and reds, and typically an orange wine option. Wine flights available for a three-pour sommelier-curated tasting.

Large format

Bottle service & punch bowls

Premium bottle service with mixers and garnishes for groups. Punch bowls (serves 8) built tableside. Magnum Champagne for special occasions. Contact the restaurant in advance for large-group bookings.

Classic roots

Classic foundations, modern execution

The menu respects classic cocktail architecture — Old Fashioneds, sours, spritzes — while executing them with modern techniques like egg-white foam, activated charcoal, and tableside smoke.

Dietary options

Vegetarian, vegan & gluten-free picks at Ritual House

Ritual House's small-plates format makes it easier than most cocktail bars to navigate dietary restrictions. Several dishes are naturally vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free — and the bar program includes vegan-friendly spirits and zero-proof options throughout.

Cross-contact is possible in a shared kitchen environment. Confirm with your server if you have a serious allergy or intolerance.

  • Vegetarian small plates: Burrata & Heirloom Tomato, Truffle Fries
  • Vegan dishes: Shishito Peppers, Seasonal Sorbet
  • Gluten-free dishes: Tuna Tartare, Shishito Peppers, Oysters, Lobster Deviled Eggs, Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice
  • Zero-proof cocktails: Garden State, Smoke Signal, Berry Ritual
  • Vegan wine options: Many wines are vegan — ask your sommelier
Atmosphere & occasion

When to visit Ritual House

Ritual House is designed for evenings out — here's how the experience maps to different occasions.

Date night

Ideal for a date

The cocktail-first, small-plates-to-share format is perfect for a date. Order a round of cocktails and two or three plates to share. The design-forward atmosphere does the heavy lifting on ambiance.

Groups

Great for groups

The small-plates menu is built for sharing — order a spread for the table. For groups of six or more, ask about bottle service packages and reserved seating. Punch bowls (serves 8) are a group staple.

Celebration

Special occasions

Birthdays, anniversaries, and professional celebrations fit naturally — magnum Champagne, bottle service, and dedicated table service make it feel like an event. Book in advance for weekends.

After-work

After-work drinks

Bar seating is typically walk-in. A few small plates and a round of cocktails is enough. Check if happy hour pricing is available at your location — hours and deals vary.

Non-drinkers

Works for non-drinkers

The dedicated zero-proof cocktail menu means non-drinkers aren't stuck with soda water and lime. The NA program is a full menu, not a single token option.

Late night

Late-night bar bites

The elevated bar bites menu — sliders, tacos, crispy rice — is designed for late-night grazing. Check kitchen hours at your specific location, as bar and kitchen hours often differ.
