I wish I could give six out of five stars. Visited as part of my birthday weekend festivities and I am absolutely elated we chose to do so. Well designed space with plenty of seating and open air space, along with an intimate indoor experience. Cocktail menu provided something for everyone, and well priced to boot. Staff was extremely polite and full of information about the history of the distillery. Scott was an absolute legend and deserves a raise, a high five, and an extra day off.

Went to the Blinking Owl to do a distillery tour. The tour itself lasted about an hour, was very informative and included tastings. Really enjoyed the experience. The Vodka was excellent and very creamy. I’m not much of a gin drinker but I could definitely drink their gin. The aquavit was interesting, had some spice flavors. The. There were a few that were ok (Orange Vodka etc.,) that weren’t bad but not my thing. Overall, had a good time. After the tour we stayed, not for dinner (it was too early since we did the 3:30-4:30 tour I think) but we did enjoy their outdoor seating and have a dessert! It was great. We definitely plan to go back for drink and dinner another time. If there is one challenge, it is finding street parking. Otherwise a great experience.

Great food and even better cocktails. Park makes a great drink and is extremely knowledgeable about his craft. A great thing about about the spirits, drinks and food everything is locally sourced. This has never really been a big factor in where I decided to eat and drink at Blinking Owl they do it right, great ingredients without the the pretentious.

Walked in around 7:00pm.. we were ignored by the bar tender. There was maybe 8-12 people in the whole place. The bar back ended up taking our order and told the bar tender inside what our order was. The bar tender made my friend his drink but forgot about my drink. I waited 15 minutes and still no drink.. there were still only about 12-14 people at the business by this time and they had at least 6 employees on staff at the time. I ended up having to ask a third time for my old fashioned.. the bartender was ignoring me and my friend so much that I took the time to ask him how he’s doing, I asked him if his day was going okay? I asked if he was doin okay.. I was looking for any reason to understand why he wouldn’t acknowledge me and my friend while the rest of the bar was empty.. The place has been open for 2+ years and I completely understand why I have never heard of this business, and I understand why there was only 8-12 customers there on a Saturday night. Great cocktails tho not gonna lie.
