Had a great bday dinner in Tremont (somewhere else) and heard about the cocktails at Spotted Owl. Walked in at about 11pm and it appeared to be empty. Vibe seemed pretty cool. However, I had a group of 10 people with me and they told me we couldn't get drinks bc we HAD to be seated to order drinks... I spoke with the manager and they could not seat us, although PLENTY seats were empty. I would have gladly paid more then $10 for a classy cocktail but I never got the chance to even try one here. What a waste. This isn't NYC. This is Cleveland. Slow your roll spotted owl. You won't stay open if turn people away who are willing to pay for a good drink. I'm spreading the word too. Obvi.
