Spirits inspired by the California Gray Whale!

Honor is excited to welcome Gray Whale Gin & Vodka to their menu and invite you to come by Friday, August 21 during Happy Hour, 3-6pm, to try their new Gray Whale martinis. Your first drink is complimentary, courtesy of Gray Whale, while supplies last!

Gray Whale’s refreshing coastal gin is perfected with six botanicals sourced along the whales’ journey. Gray Whale Vodka is small batch distilled with California grapes and created with no additives or sugar, leaving it silky-smooth.
