I love this neighborhood cocktail bar. The bartenders are so friendly, and the drinks are so well prepared. They have a great pared down drink menu, consisting of their own house cocktails (named after surrounding neighborhoods) and more classic offerings. You can bring outside food and also your dog. My favorite drink here is the mezcal old fashioned. The honey and aztec chocolate bitters give it a really special flavor.

New local bar and when I say bar I mean bar, no food but super cute and quaint. The bartenders are friendly and didn’t disappoint making our drinks. The menu consists of drinks named after nearby neighborhoods, which is a nice touch. Super attentive and engaging owner, I’ll definitely be back and can see this being a new local gem

I would give this place five stars other than the fact that they had no live music. A DJ at 11pm does not count. They have so much potential to really pack the place if they would have some music earlier in the evening. I ordered a margarita and it just did not work for me and the bartender did not hesitate to replace it with a glass of really good champagne. Great shuffleboard table, good vibe, just needs live music. Look forward to the Wednesday open mic

Had a good date here. The cocktails are delicious. Bathrooms are clean. 8/10 would come back for another date night spot. No food, but good drinks. Owner works super hard.

My fiancé and I have been coming here for almost a year. We love the service and the atmosphere. It’s very intimate. We love this place! It’s a great place for a couples night out to have drinks and connect

Great local bar. Has live music and a patio. Just a little loud inside if you want to carry on a conversation. even without the live music.

I like this place. Small and cozy with what looks like something of a regular clientele. The bar staff is excellent. They made the drinks quickly and introduced themselves so I could ask for them by name if I wanted anything else. They have live music at certain times also. The only reason I gave it four instead of five stars is even after the live music is over it is still a bit loud and not conducive to carrying on a conversation if you are with someone. But overall a really nice place and I will be back!

After a few failed attempts (too tired after work) I finally made it to Night Owl. I enjoyed the cozy, neighborhood feel. I went on a Sunday night around 9 and there were about 10 people there. The drinks and service were good and the location is good for northern Austinites. I look forward to going back to try more of their drinks.

The cocktails are different than you find at most bars, but that’s definitely a good thing. There’s something for everyone here.

Nice little neighborhood bar. Thrilled to have a Wooten watering hole. Rob and his crew are really laid back and friendly. They have a nice selection of beer, wine, and liquor. They offer some nicely done craft cocktails, too. A shuffleboard table, a few t.v.s, and some high tables with chairs round out the furnishings. Ample seating and bar seating, too. They have seasonal cocktails-I’m hoping they have the peppermint mocha again this year-delicious! They’ve also had some special events where they partner with food providers. Be sure to stop by if you’re in the area!

This is a nice little place. Quiet. I’ve never been there when it’s been super-crowded (which is a plus for me, but probably not for the business). They make a nice cocktail and the servers are friendly.

This place is great. Best bartenders with the best drinks.

Night Owl is a gem of a neighborhood bar. It is a great place to meet up before going out, or enjoy an after dinner drink. It is everything a great neighborhood place should have – a couple of TV’s, a shuffle board, some games, comfortable seating, good brews, craft cocktails, community events w/ life music (check their FB page), and a friendly bartender. Their copper bar top is beautiful. They have an all night happy hour on Monday, and different happy hour specials throughout the week.

This place is SMALL! They don’t even have beer on tap. They do have a weekly rotating list of local beers in cans. Their cocktail menu is creative. They mix up some great drinks with quality liquors and ingredients. I tried the Wooten with some bourbon, amaretto, ginger beer, and pineapple juice. A refreshing drink on a hot day. It is dangerously smooth and juicy. I want to try their mule next time, as they have a house infused pineapple vodka that they use in their mule. Their wine list is non existent. This isn’t a spot for wine. There is no food menu It’s just great local drinks with friendly peeps.

Great vibe! Rob was amazing. Great and strong cocktails would definitely come back for more delicious cocktails!

The night owl! Is a great choice for a night out. The atmosphere and bullshit is the best in town. Rob makes drinky-drinks and everybody else enjoys putting up with him. The bartender(s) have freshly washed hair and there’s a general conviviality about the place. Five stars–dope as motherfucking shit.

My new favorite neighborhood bar. I’ve checked it out about 4 times now and each time is just as fun and friendly as the last. All the bartenders I’ve met are genuinely friendly, fun and very easy to talk to.

Monday happy hour all night. WHOOP!!

Chill little bar on the northside. Enjoyed a night with my friend, kinda slow, but super attentive bartenders that cared about how they were doing. I enjoyed the Crestview and my friend enjoyed the Wooten.
Mike M. , 8 years ago
Wow! What a great surprise! Rob is a great bartender. The mixed drinks were perfect and very different. Chill atmosphere. They have seating around the bar and tables. They also have a Jenga and a Shuffle board. Would highly recommend!

My husband and I stopped for a drink last night and it was awesome. It’s very cozy (think Tigress) with a great cocktail and beer menu. I had the Wooten cocktail, which had bourbon, amaretto, pineapple juice, and ginger beer. It was extremely smooth and tasty. He had a Texas
Mule and his drink was very tasty as well.

The only thing I wish they had was a better wine selection. The only had two wines and a prosecco. The wine had to be bought as a half bottle, which would be okay if they had a bigger selection.

The staff was super friendly and they mentioned that they might get some food trucks in the future, which would make this place even better.

Overall, really good place! I’m looking forward to see where it goes.

Great folks, great drinks, great location! Try the Wooten! Such an amazing drink. Lots of seating, yet small and cozy. Did I mention they have great drinks?
