IHOP has had added a number of alcoholic beverages to its menus at select locations. Customers can now enjoy beer or wine while dining at select IHOP restaurants in San Diego and New Mexico. The 'Bubbles, Wine & Brews' drink menu will also be implemented at locations in expansion to New York, Rhode Island, Maryland, Ohio, and more in the coming months.
According to a press release, the ‘Bubbles, Wine & Brews’ menu includes mimosas and wines from Barefoot by the glass, as well as beer from Bud Light, Blue Moon, and Corona. IHOP will also allow each restaurant to test out featuring "locally brewed beer and wines for a curated, local taste of the region."
“Our recent ‘Drinks and Dining Survey’ unveiled this is the perfect time to launch our alcohol beverage menu and gauge excitement about these new offerings, as 66% of our recent guests and 58% of our younger guests (ages 21-34) have been craving an alcoholic beverage to accompany some of their IHOP favorites,” said Jay Johns, President, IHOP, in the release. “As we continue to focus and expand on our daytime and evening menu options, adult beverages offer a terrific innovation and evolution to enjoy IHOP for every occasion.”

IHOP’s culinary team even curated a list of pairings for their customers, in case you're not sure which menu item to pair a Corona or glass of chardonnay with:
- The fizzy zing of a Barefoot Bubbly Brut mimosa cutting through the richness of IHOP’s Original French Toast
- Pairing a glass of smooth, medium-bodied Barefoot Chardonnay with the big flavors of IHOP’s Southwest Chicken Burrito or Bowl
- IHOP’s savory Sirloin Steak Tips make the perfect pair with Barefoot’s smooth Cabernet Sauvignon
- A crisp, clean Corona Extra puts out the flame from IHOP’s Spicy Poblano Omelette
Guests, of course, must be 21 or older to order from IHOP's new drink menu. The new beverage menu is available for dine-in only, with prices varying by location.
