| - Owl is a dark divey bar with good beers, a great craft cocktail menu and an ominous looking bird of prey on the wall. Sounds like a good time.
I've come here twice now and the first time around they didn't have a lot of the appetizers available due to an unforeseen fridge accident, but I was able to sample some other bartastic treats and some of the not so bartastic treats. First the booze, Owl offers over twenty different styled craft beers that includes a nice range of locally made beers as well.
I stuck with the cocktail menu and tried the Ward 8; house made grenadine, lemon juice, orange juice and Wild Turkey. This was a very refreshing and feminine looking cocktail, as it was served in a tall martini glass, truly the envy of any, "Sex and the City" cheerleaders. The lemon juice wasn't overpowering and the Wild Turkey added a slight nip at the end. Personally I feel like this cocktail should be served highball glass rather than a martini glass, but it was still a good drink nonetheless.
With my two visits combined I have been able to try The Sliders, The Loaded Garlic Fries, Vegan Deviled Eggs, and The Jalapeno Poppers. Try all of the aforementioned bar food items except for the Deviled Eggs; I just couldn't behind these, the texture, and the taste., none of it worked for me.
A must try are the jalapenos poppers and the loaded fries, these are two great food items that will go well any drink. The poppers aren't fried, they are raw jalapenos stuffed with chunks of bacon and cream cheese, and pure greatness. The fries are a great sharing option; it's just a pile of fries, meat and peppers.
The decor leaves something to be desired, but this place is a great way escape the blazing heat and the unrelenting sun. This spot really has owl-you'll really need for fun night out right off the Strip.
