| - PROS
-Hidden gem. Spotted Owl has been around for a little while now, but it had never been on my radar. I went with a friend last night and instantly regretted not coming to this place sooner. Tucked in on a side street in Tremont, it is not flashy and you could easily miss or mistake it for something else. I think it's part of the allure.
-Mood drinks. Choosing a drink can be hard...especially when there are over 300 concoctions in their arsenal. Spotted Owl simplifies the process for you. Their menu is set up by mood, then by taste. For instance, I was in a "relax" mood and wanted a floral taste (other tastes to choose from were light, aperitif and highball). I also mentioned my liquor preference. They then created a delicious drink for me and walked through the ingredients and history of the drink. Ah.maz.ing.
-Sweet atmosphere. A little bit hip and a little bit divey, this is the perfect place for any type of night. You can keep it casual or dress it up, and it works for both. When I went, it was just me and a friend grabbing a few drinks on a whim. That same night, there was an engagement party going on.
CONS
-Price. For the service and quality you get here, the price is definitely worth it. Just be prepared to spend a little bit more.
-No patio. But the inside is so cool, you don't even need one (especially for the 6 months of winter we have in Cleveland)
BOTTOM LINE
-This should be your go-to place for handcrafted cocktails.
