Spotted Owl is still one of my most favorite bars in Cleveland. I missed it when it was shut down for Covid. Now that it's back, it's got the same charm and effervescent cocktails that I remember. They also have a new outdoor section (although it was closed the night I went because it was a tad chilly). Order off the wheel based on your mood. They will get it right every time.

Mixed feelings of this place. I got the drink The Jeweled Knight. It was delicious. On the other hand, my husband got a drink made with scotch and clarified milk, it was gross. To me, this place comes off as trying as a little too hard. I think they're going for a speak easy feel but haven't quite hit the mark. I also didn't like how none of their liquor was displayed. Everything was hidden under the counter.

This was our first time and it definitely won't be our last. We sat inside and fell in love with the atmosphere. Dark but not too dark, ambient lighting, good music, neat artifacts and decor (with nods to Twin Peaks and Stranger Things). Right on! Our bartender, Cassie, was lovely and walked us through our beverage choices. There are a few choices of beer on tap, a menu of drinks to choose from and a section of the 'menu' where you can tell them what you are looking for in terms of flavor, type of liquor, etc and they can make something based on your preferences. The hubby ordered a sazerac and I was pleasantly surprised with a gin drink called a gimlet. Both of our bevvies tasted so good. We could have stayed for hours. Maybe next time! Thank you for being so cool, Spotted Owl!

Staff is super friendly. Great place for crafted cocktails. Music is super dope too ! Would recommend doing the wheel experience.

One of the coolest bars I have been to recently. The history of the place is interesting, I’m not going to give it away, you will have to ask your server. Very low key and relaxing. Pricing is reasonable and the drinks were great. The artwork behind the bar is incredible.

Menu is unusual, but clever. No one ever told me what I ended up drinking. I chose "reflect" and "classic" from the menu. I think it was a vodka gimlet. Very loud, could barely hear music. Could be a fun date place -- dim, romantic ambiance.

I was nervous to come here because of other reviews, but I had a good time. The service was good and I didn't wait long for my drinks at all. I told them what I liked and ended up with a Manhattan, which is my usual drink at my usual place...which was kind of disappointing but I guess they felt me out well! I liked the Atmosphere, and the music was not too loud for a conversation which is a huge plus for me. The house punch was really good and cost only half as much as a regular cocktail.

Built in the 1800’s but now converted to a hip lounge, The Spotted Owl is a unique combination of the new and old. Using the original rustic brick and hardwood decor, it is hard to find but a great find to experience. (All pictures taken today.) The manager who just won the “Best of Ohio” Manhattan and will be competing nationally next.

A fun atmosphere and a great selection of creative cocktails. I bike here using the Red Line Greenway and Towpath Trail. Suggestion for the owners-I wish there were bike racks near the entrance to lock up to. It seems like there is plenty of room to add some.More drinkers on bikes means fewer OVIs and more money in their pockets for cocktails.

Top notch cocktail bar that I love showing off to friends and visitors. They will never disappoint with the cocktails and we love the vibe. I cant remember how we found this place but it's a true gem and they are masterful mixologists. Both pics are from the mood wheel which always amazes our group.

An intimate spot for well-crafted, imaginative cocktails. The process of choosing a cocktail based on your taste or mood was lots of fun and by no means required. Everyone in our party enjoyed their drinks. Definitely worth a stop after a dinner in Tremont.

Amazing cocktails, ambiance on 100% nice place to end the night

Interesting experience, pick your mood and flavor and they'll make you a drink. Pricey but strong in alcohol and flavor. We apparently accidentally sat at a section of the bar that was closed but we weren't asked to move, just had odd service. Would try again.

Every time I go there it's a unique fun experience. If you're ok with the pricing, it's worth every penny. The mixologists are masters at their craft and earn every penny they make off their creations. Very cozy place to enjoy the drinks, too.

Love the vibe and the way to choose drinks based on mood/setting and flavors you want . Great cocktails . Bartenders got a birthday shot for my sister! Thanks again
