Your part-time witch, part-time hipster, full-time baddie's favorite hangout spot. Which devastatingly is closing at the end of the year! Formerly a plant shop, Blind Tiger looks nothing like your typical bar, and is not the place for typical drunken shenanigans. Too many aesthetic and fragile displays of taste. But, it IS a place for wild and wacky conversations, pop-up shops, and taste-full cocktails. Yes, NA besties included!
Order from the counter from their regular or seasonal menu, and then settle yourself in on either of two floors of lounge-y seating. It's cozy without being crowded, and there are endless things to look at and examine. Hanging lights, fishnet tablecloths, a disco-ball wall. You might even try to ride the rolling ladder (just kidding, ignore those intrusive thoughts). If you're feeling generous, get some merch, which is located along the wall with a fridge full of NA apertifs. One of the staff will bring your cocktails to the table so you don't have to lift a finger once you're cozy.
October seems the perfect time to come and get acquainted with their drinks. You could end up with a cute skull garnish and imagine that there are real candles on each table. We tried a Zesty Tiger (made with mango syrup instead of elderflower liquor, as they were out), and an Apple Pie Sour - both very smooth and very delicious.
