    You won’t find a better cocktail in Windsor. The Blind Owl, in a relatively unnoticeable spot of the street, ends up embracing the speakeasy vibe of being somewhat hidden in plain sight. Inside there’s one main bar with various small groups of chairs around the room. These bartenders are well trained, capable of fun flips, tricks and dips to dazzle you into a trance before serving up your order. These expertly concocted creations present you with some unique takes on classics with a presentation to match. You’ll leave here wishing you were able to taste them all!

    If you’re looking for a cocktail specialty - this is the only spot to be! The service delivers professionalism, uniqueness and caters to each individual. Hottest spot in Ontario! I wish this concept of restaurant was located everywhere. This is a place filled with true talent, expertise and absolute deliciousness. Our server Matt surprised us with the ultimate drinks catered to each of us - beyond phenomenal and beyond words

    My partner and I go to the gym across the street and the staff told us about this place. We are so happy that we came! Loved the speakeasy vibe. Each cocktail was amazing, like the Brother’s Grimm and Bourbonbumble Bee. Loved the charcuterie board as well. Would recommend 10/10!

    One of favourite places to stop when going out. The best cocktails around!! They mix the menu up often but they'll make your favourite. Great staff and they're knowledgeable about their product. Get the Viper.. Love it!!

    Max was so friendly and helpful on a busy Halloween weekend. We got some great cocktails here and a delightful charcuterie board!

  • 5/5 Bethany K. 4 years ago on Google • 5 reviews
    This place is an absolute gem. Their seasonal changing cocktail menu will amaze you every time. Clearly, they place a ton of care, time and passion into each one; curated to perfection. They never fail to tantalize your tastebuds and send you on an appetizing adventure. Something on the menu for every palate. Every single visit is a magical delight from the aesthetic atmosphere, menu and all the servers and bartenders. They are the best in the city. Kind, friendly and warm. Couldn't say a single negative about this place if I tried.

    The bartenders are super nice and helpful, they can find something that anyone would like. The new menus are such a highlight, definitely worth a stop if you love craft cocktails!

  • 4/5 Dariusz P. 1 year ago on Google
    What a great ambiance...cozy, people kind of a place...not a bar, not a joint, rather I got the feeling of being at a "social event" focused on pleasing clientele that demands specific attention be paid to their drink orders! (my kind of a place)

    A quaint little hole in the wall with delightful drinks and charcuterie. Price can be a little steep especially compared to nearby bars, but what you get are delicious drinks and incredible service.

  • 5/5 Jay M. 1 year ago on Google
    Love love love this place and the guys ! Tony and Cody are best 👌. Personalized service like never seen elsewhere, cocktails u can just dream of and small yet can cater many guests making everyone feeling special without over attending them ! Perfect balance !!

  • 5/5 Jamie K. 6 years ago on Google
    Loved this place! Best cocktails I've ever drank. Great atmosphere. Staff was helpful and friendly. Don't go here if you're looking for a cheap drink. Prices match the quality. I will for sure be back next time I'm in the area.

  • 5/5 Julia W. 4 years ago on Google
    The drinks are to die for and the atmosphere is very chill and intimate. One of my favourite places to go in Windsor.

    Went here to have some excellent drinks, and the prices were not exorbitant. Our server, Max, was really jacked, and very hospitable. Overall solid experience! A bit difficult to find though.
