“Classics will always be your backbone they are classic for a reason,” Field says. And according to Field, the Old Fashioned remains one of the best-selling drinks at Strip House. Schneider reports that Vodka Martinis are still really popular. At next-generation and old-school steakhouses, most people stay faithful to the tried and true. “An updated twist on a classic, molecular mixology, or the standard-bearer itself all provide excitement within a list.”įorward-thinking cocktails are good selling points, but they don’t necessarily drive sales. “A cocktail list needs a sip for everyone,” says Jessica Norris, director of beverage and wine education at Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse. (Trigger warning: BLT Prime is located in the Trump International Hotel and prominently features Trump Winery on the wine list.)Īll of this is excellent news for carnivores who also happen to have an interest in mixology, but it’s not like the classics are going anywhere.

In order to appeal to changing tastes and demographics without alienating the navy-suited brigades, many steakhouses thoughtfully update the classics. Tradition is part of the appeal of steakhouses. People just became a lot more interested in what they were drinking. The other part of the equation is the rise of cocktail culture due to the efforts of people like Dale DeGroff, and the boom in high-end craft spirits from small distilleries in virtually every corner of the country. “We saw women as having more inquisitive palates and to be much more discerning in their selections.” “From the ‘90s on … more women into male-dominated steakhouses to take their rightful place as a share of our business,” says Tylor Field, VP of wine and spirits at Strip House, which has several locations around the country.

Cocktail lists are likewise expanding, showcasing increasingly complicated and modern creations. Across the country, steakhouses are diversifying their menus, offering international fare like sushi and Greek lamb stew alongside traditional porterhouses and Caesar salads.
