Monte Carlo:
Elegant and brooding, the Monte Carlo is a spirit-forward classic that lets rye whiskey take center stage. Its bold spice and dry oak are softened by Bénédictine’s honeyed herbal richness, while aromatic bitters add depth, warmth, and a subtle edge. Smooth yet commanding, each sip unfolds with notes of baking spice, dried citrus, and woodsy sweetness, finishing long, polished, and quietly luxurious for those who prefer their cocktails dark, balanced, and "Timeless" in every pour.

Water Park:
Juicy watermelon meets fragrant basil in this refreshing margarita, creating a bright, garden-fresh twist on a classic. Smooth tequila anchors the drink with earthy warmth, while lime juice adds crisp acidity and orange liqueur brings a soft citrus sweetness. Each sip is vibrant, cooling, and lightly herbal, balancing ripe summer fruit with a clean, zesty finish. Served over ice with a salted rim, it’s playful, elegant, and made for sunny afternoons or breezy "Warm Evenings".

Tempest Bite:
Bold and radiant, this spirit-forward cocktail layers white rum’s clean snap with anejo rum’s mellow warmth and spiced black rum’s dark molasses depth. Orange liqueur adds citrus silk, while lychee brings a delicate floral sweetness that softens the rum trio. A hint of lemon juice cuts through with bright acidity, keeping each sip balanced, lush, and dangerously smooth. Expect tropical aromatics, velvety fruit, and a lingering spiced finish that feels both exotic and "Decadently Grown-up" in style.

Walsh's Shebeen will be open at 5:30 today.

Mango Zest
Bright and refreshing, this housemade rum seltzer blends ripe mango with a splash of lemon for a perfectly balanced tropical profile. Light and effervescent, this is an easy‑drinking, sun‑soaked cocktail that’s both flavorful and refreshingly smooth from "First Sip" to last.

Back when Iowa was mostly farmland and fences, the plowshare was the symbol of hard work and steady hands. At the end of the day, that effort deserved its own ritual; a pour before supper, a moment of silence, and a story or two if someone wandered in.

At Walsh’s, we honor that tradition in spirit, even if we’ve traded plows for spreadsheets. Say "Plowshare Whiskey Hour" tonight and get something that feels earned, not bought.

There’s a kind of logic that only makes sense if you’re standing on a Scottish hillside or, perhaps, in Iowa on a Tuesday. When the weather turns strange and the sky can’t make up its mind, locals say it’s time for a good pour of Scotch; something peaty, steady, and just complex enough to match the sky.

Tonight, we’re keeping that tradition alive. If your afternoon ended in a thunderstorm and your evening began in short sleeves, you’ve earned a "Highland Weather Logic" kind of pour. We’ve got Scotch open and ready for anyone who understands this particular rhythm of Midwest chaos.

Some bottles just command respect. Smoke Wagon Uncut doesn’t shout, but it doesn’t whisper either. It sits quietly on the shelf until someone who knows bourbon locks eyes with that Nevada label and says, 'Yes, that one.'

Tonight, we’re giving the nod to western heat and unfiltered strength with our "Desert Heat Pour". Bold, high-proof, and surprisingly smooth for something that comes out of the desert.

Even in the middle of a buzzing week, there’s a little hush that falls over a good bar. The clink of glassware, the hush of conversation, the slow stir of something poured with intention.

It’s our favorite part of Thursday, when things settle just enough to remind us why we do this. The new Summer menu is flowing, the regulars are rolling in, and there’s still a stool with your name on it.

Say "High Summer Hush" at the door and take a moment for yourself tonight.

This is the last week of the Spring Seasonal Menu. Come get it while you can. Ask about our to-go drinks.

A Hawthorne strainer and a Julep strainer serve similar purposes—keeping ice and solids out of finished cocktails—but differ in design and use.
The Hawthorne strainer features a flat disc with a coiled spring, allowing it to fit snugly over a shaker tin and catch smaller particles like fruit pulp or ice chips. It’s commonly used after shaking cocktails.
The Julep strainer, shaped like a large perforated spoon, is typically used with a mixing glass. It’s ideal for stirred drinks, providing a smooth pour while holding back larger ice cubes. Each suits a “Specific Mixing” method and bartender preference.

Operating with half staff tonight. Thank you for your patience with me.
