The Owl: Reviews & Ratings
What chill laid back neighborhood bar. Popped in waiting in a friend and the beer was cold conversation great and people super friendly. Russel was manning the bar solo and kept the location flowing so smoothly.
Really loved this bar. Super friendly bartender, awesome happy hour (until 7pm) and great vibe/crowd. Crowd is middle aged upwards. Has also some games like darts, board games, jukebox etc
The most chill bar I’ve been to in years, and I’ve been to thousands. Vyron & Cian are excellent. Can’t remember the girls names, but they are also extremely good. Seats are comfortable. Darts. Games. Trivia night. Lots of TVs. Good music. Fun outdoor section. Good food. Strong drinks. You cannot go wrong here.
Really chill spot with good deals on drinks. Definitely has a lot to live up to in the old Benjy’s location, but I think that time will establish it as a go to bar. The vault and games are fun and Wednesday 50% off wine and whiskey can’t be beat in that area. Plus, really great parking that’s free! Bartender was nice, will be back again.
Probably the best bar in Rice Village for a good drink and late night food Vibe is somewhere in between classy and fun, you can expect a dim lit atmosphere with centerpiece candles on the tables, a nice little patio and the owl motif throughout the bar. Service was cool. I ordered a ranch water and was offered salt or Tajin and it was really good... Ok ok fine I had 2 ranch waters and they were fantastic. The lemon drop martinis were good too. There’s a few different seating areas including a bank safe room with a few seats and shuffle board game in there too. I have to say my favorite part was the fact that the kitchen was open until 1 AM and they offer a nice variety of pizzas. Note these are not your typical frozen pizzas you would expect from a bar but a step or 2 above that. They’re actually pretty good. I like the “low-key” vibe of this place. It’s almost easy to miss if you’re not looking for it but makes you feel extra cool once you’re there. Cool spot to put on a nice shirt and enjoy a handcrafted drink or 2. Will be back!
Cool place. Pizzas looked great. Nice patio and great staff.
Drinks were good and the ambiance was nice
Really enjoy their happy hour drinks and free popcorn! The vault room has been great for reserved group events since it's walled off and a nice size with TVs, tables, and chairs. The staff is so friendly & makes booking that space so easy. We look forward to returning!
