LIBATIONS
SEASONAL CRAFT COCKTAILS & A FOCUS ON GIN!
GIN IS OUR THING….
Gin – the quintessential cocktail spirit, and the soul of iconic classics like the Martini and Negroni.
Here in our bar in New Haven CT, we celebrate the incredible versatility of gin, offering an impressive range sourced from renowned distillers across the globe to suit every palette and occasion. From the crisp, juniper-forward character of traditional London Dry gins to bold contemporary expressions infused with exotic botanicals, our selection explores the full spectrum of flavors.
Each pour is perfectly paired with premium tonic waters—because the right mixer truly makes the difference.
SEASONAL COCKTAILS
And, while gin is a star in its own right, we have also curated a bespoke seasonal cocktail menu of fresh handcrafted cocktails & mocktails, which brings the same level of care and creativity to a wider range of spirits. From rich, barrel-aged bourbons to bright agave spirits and aromatic aperitifs, our cocktail program evolves with the seasons—thoughtfully curated, expertly balanced, and always inspired. Together, they form a drinks menu that's both rooted in tradition and alive with innovation.
To see what we’re mixin’ and shakin’, keep an eye on our socials!
WINE
Wine at Roli is all about fun, excitement, and accessibility. The collection spans the globe – curated with a particular emphasis on small estates and organic vineyard practices.
Our mission is to create a list that feels comfortable, and we have organized it in such a way to make it easy for everyone to find something to love.
BEER
A rotating list of bottled beer – both local, US, and around the world!
