Wow! Wow! Wow! Night Owl Leander is WOW! Taylor and Amber were our Bartenders this evening/ morning and I can't say anything more than Wow! These ladies rocked the bar- made awesome drinks, conversed when time permitted and made us feel "at home"! We were able to try several drinks on the whole bar spectrum... take a look at my photos! I'm allergic to a main ingredient in many drinks and Taylor tweaked recipes to allow me the option to have a drink or a few with no risks. Thank you! read more

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly The good part is the variety of cocktails and the many owl decorations hence the name. Also nice settings of comfy chairs along the wall The bad part is the tv was soo loud you could hardly make a conversation. I do understand that is was the World Cup and a game on but it's more about seeing the game than be able listen to it from across the street. Also the cocktails were pretty pricey compared to the area. The ugly part was that there was for the volume of people only ONE bartender and NO waitress/waiter at all. What seems an ongoing issue according to other reviews. We had to stand in line like a checkout in a grocery store to order our drinks and later again to pay our bill. The line was fairly long and with only one bartender it was ridiculous. And looking at our bill we saw they charged a fee for using a credit card. For this time and age where plastic is king that should not happen especially with these cocktail prices. The bar could be such a nice place if they would had a second bartender for that night and if they would hire waiters/ waitresses to make it a more friendly atmosphere. I might give it another try to see if there is an improvement but pay with cash to avoid the fee. read more

Great place to have a drink Has a great atmosphere inside and out Large TV screen outside with a spooky Halloween vibe on the inside.. Bartenders are hot and always on point with the best drinks. Lucky if you get to meet Brie. She's the straw stirring the drink. Definitely recommend read more

So-so. Good tv screens. Wait service is indifferent to your needs. Fd hours are very limited due to reliance on 3rd party "food trucks". They close early. Typical bar ambiance. read more

Love this place. The bartenders and management are down to earth, talented, and always checking in without being overbearing. We have been coming since they opened and have never had a bad experience. They can make anything from classic cocktails to custom drinks and the vibe is friendly and easygoing. Also appreciate the kid curfew at 8pm for safety, which keeps the atmosphere comfortable later in the night. Great people, great drinks, great spot. Highly recommend. read more

Night Owl Leander - Painkiller NO. 3 - Bars Near Me - Leander, Texas

I have been wanting to try this place since it's close to home. Plenty of parking on the street, one small door entrance. The vibe inside is amazing the outside area plenty of tables, cornhole, vintage truck humongous TV, very loud sound system, food trucks. They have chairs lined up and you can make your own little circle or sit at one of the picnic tables. Beers are served in a glass. That's a huge plus for me. Met lots of new friends. Children are allowed until 8 PM. read more

Great bar with the best food trucks around! Tacos are the best in austin! Love the vibe of the bar! read more

Came here with my wife and we had a drink and thought the place was cool. We came on a Saturday and it wasn't overly crowded which we enjoyed. Inside they have a few nice lounge chairs and cozy couches which was a nice touch for a chill evening. The staff didn't seem overly friendly, but then again we ordered through the app and the drinks were at our table in under 2 minutes. Gotta say, I enjoyed ordering like this. The app was called Union. First I've heard of it - I'll admit we don't get out very often at all. The Union app does appear to have some specials. For instance, I got Maker's Mark $10.00 +As Old Fashioned But there was a Union credit of like $7 off. So effectively $3 which is an awesome deal. Now, I'm not sure how the Union Specials all work and their availability, but they were appreciated. Inside the place was an awesome vibe. read more

Love the vibe and decor of Night Owl-very cool spot! We decided to grab a few drinks here to go with our food from the food trucks outside (both great spots by the way). The bartender was super nice and she greeted us right away. We told her we were first timers and she gave us some suggestions on what to try. They've got a great list of drinks named after neighborhoods in Leander which I thought was so cool. I had the Nameless Hollow and it was quite tasty. Not overly sweet at all-I really enjoyed it. Great selection of drinks and pricing is very reasonable. Give this place a try for sure! We will absolutely be back. read more

Love their drinks and the bartenders are so nice! They always have fun themes going on(:

Fire her. Literally worst experience I've ever had at a bar. Mckylie (sp???) should NOT be a bar tender. She might do really good at a bar in Austin. But not here. read more

Monday night trivia starts at 7:30 pm but the female host is the most rude person on the planet. The beer here is likely the same at your run of the mill beer spot . Nothing really special or unique. So in other words, this place doesn't really specialize in craft beers but the mixed beers are acceptable but there is a large projection screen outside and large heaters for the winter time. The Womens bathroom door does not close properly so be careful no one walks in on you like what happened to me. Awkward! Bartenders are pretty nice. The location is chill it's right on the corner of the street and very close to other bars too so you can skip around to your heart's content. Parking is never an issue either! Pretty decent clientele here too! read more

Night Owl Leander - Girls night! - Bars Near Me - Leander, Texas

I really enjoyed this spot and was invited by a coworker. I've been in this area before but have never come across this place but I'm glad I did. I really really enjoyed the decor and the vibe. It's so unique. I wish I grabbed more pictures. This place is great for an intimate vibe or with a group. Our bartender was amazing and very energetic and polite. The drinks were great as well. I'm not sure if they serve food lol we didn't come to eat. I'd def go back! read more

Such a cute little local bar!!! Bre is the best! She knows her drinks and the service is top notch! Recommend the Leander mule, larkspur or her specialty, the Lavender dream. This place should definitely have a higher rating. read more

We had a great time here. The bartenders/staff were awesome. Full bar and taps. Cool little outside area with just enough shade. A little more seating would be good, but they're obv limited on space. Cool little hang out, we'll definitely be back! read more

Night Owl Leander - Big screen outside - Bars Near Me - Leander, Texas

MEH... not great not bad. There is limited seating and a large L-shaped bar inside. Outside, there are picnic tables with plenty of seating and a large TV screen. Not sure how the covered outside seating will be in the hot summer or cold winter seasons. The bar is stocked with all your favorites and some high-end bourbons. There are some local beers on tap as well. It appears that Old Town Leander will become Rainey St lite with small bars and (hopefully) good entertainment. I believe Leanderthals (including me) are just pleased as punch that more entertainment spots are planned for the area. We are not one-and-done folks we will return during a game or when there is a live band. read more

Place is clean.. cool decor... but that's it. Almost Zero service. You scan a menu, and order on your phone. They bring it to you (only service you get). No one comes around to chat, or check in. They spend the time behind the bar vaping while mixing drinks. TV and music is so loud people are yelling to talk to each other. The place seems like it can't decide if it wants to be a sport bar, speak easy or a dive. Prices are way above all the places within walking distance. Top it off, they charge a service fee if you use a credit card over paying cash. Not going back to a place that requires a service fee for credit cards after charging as much as they do for drinks. We bought one round, and left to walk across to another place where drinks are almost half the price, and service is great. read more

I come here almost everyday and I think last night will be my last. This the second time I gotten charged for an extra drink and I honestly hate it. Only had one drink last night and it was slow so I don't get how it happens to be honest but just don't want to be checking or counting my drinks or having to bring it up. First time I brought it up but this time I just paid and left. read more

Opening weekend!!! Our friends brought us to check this place out... We will definitely be here again! I'm sure there are some kinks to work out/seating to arrange...but it's a cool place!!! We loved the art and vibe. Yummy drinks and good service. The outdoor area was really nice for those watching the game on the big screen. Can't wait to try more on the menu! (Maybe the open area inside without seating would make a good dance floor, eh? eh? ...just my wishful thinking... It's still super cool!) read more

Fun spot with a cool vibe. My wife & I are Leander locals and frequent this fun little bar often. Small inside, nice cozy little bar. Then a large outdoor covered patio with a large projection screen. A couple of food trucks outside & live music on the weekends. It's pretty easy for us to have fun here and I like that :) read more

Visited the bar this evening. A group was super loud, yelling and shouting at the top of their lungs with the women groping each other sexually. I didn't realize smoking/vaping was allowed indoors, which the group was doing as well. Felt like there wasn't much management of the bar going on. The bartender sucked too. read more

The spot to be! THE SERVICE IS AMAZING, you'll always have a good time and memories made with the beautiful staff. Amber, Layla, T and you can't forget Ian! Beer is good but the neighborhood drinks are inspired by the masses are top notch! Everyone is here not only for the game but here for NIGHT OWL! read more

Night Owl Leander - Bars Near Me - Leander, Texas

This is a good spot for happy hour since it's a much longer period than most places offer. They have creative cocktails and beer of course. I liked being able to order via our phones, so we didn't have to wait for a server to come check on us when they got busy. We sat outside which has a decent amount of seating. There are misting fans to help keep you cool, but as the sun goes down it can be tough to stay out of the direct sunlight. I brought my dog and really loved that they would allow me to sit inside with her if I wanted. There are just a few inside seats other than the bar, but the outdoor area is nice so I didn't mind sitting out there! Overall this is a great spot to grab a drink and meet up with friends! read more

This is not a kid friendly place!! We were told the management was watching us from the cameras and conveniently when we slowed down buying drinks they enforced a no kids policy after 8pm. Granted we had quite a few kids, and 5 families, and our boys got a little rambunctious at times, but for them to take the water away and not let the kids have water was just wrong. read more

This is my favorite spot in Leander! Super awesome bartenders. Nice ambiance with a rustic classy retro vibe. I love the music they play here too. It's very eclectic. Amber, T, Ian and Brie are the coolest in town!! I always enjoy their positive energy, friendliness and hospitality. The drinks here are delicious and fresh. My favorite is the Larkspur. read more

Night Owl Leander - The Larkspur - Bars Near Me - Leander, Texas

Would like to give an update on Night Owl Leander. Had went back and talk to the bartender, wish I remembered her name, she was very kind and apologized profusely (which wasn't her fault). Showed her the video of the 2 men who drugged us. She gave me the number to her general manager. The GM was right on the situation, made the report to the police right away, said if they come back it will be criminal trespassing. After hearing that Felt a lot safer and heard. They take care of their customers! Thank you for being there for us. read more

Great ambiance, great service, delicious drinks. I'm so happy this cool little bar has opened in my neighborhood. I've pretty much taken everyone I know here cause I love it. I read someone said there wasn't any service, which is not the case, they just don't have cocktail servers coming outside randomly. If you want someone to bring you your drink yes you order on your phone. I just walk up to the bar personally. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and have great suggestions. Yes they do ask that you take your kids home after 8pm, but again this is a bar not a restaurant so I'm glad they do that. Go see Amber, she's my girl! read more

Great little spot that stays open late. Bartender is lovely and attentive. Great choices in drinks, some tv's, not loud, great ambiance, large outdoor tv with seating that will be fantastic once the weather gets a bit warmer. There is supposed to be a food truck but I've yet to see one currently. read more

Nice addition to Leander. A good atmosphere causal bar. Buddy said Freckles was awesome

Staff here are great as well as the atmosphere they provide. Definitely recommend if you want a relaxed vibe with good people.

Love the concept of this place. Huge TV outside and custom drinks. Only issue is the smell when you walk in. read more

Night Owl Leander - Huge TV - Bars Near Me - Leander, Texas

Saw a lot of underage drinking in there over the last two nights. Is these kids fake id's that good? Love this place but don't want to deal with with young underage people. They were so loud and obnoxious . Makes me second guess spending $$ here. read more

ZERO STARS: What just happened here? Visited plenty of times, had plenty of good experiences except with the same male bartender. It's so sad and disappointing he's allowed to continue his employment here with a demeanor that leaves such a terrible image for this place. Let alone in a position of providing service to customers that enjoy coming here. Nothing is worse than a bartender who carries such a hateful, unprofessional, unfriendly, uninviting, disrespectful attitude. One that simply responds to customers with such disgust and annoyed attitude. Can't even manage to maybe smile; maybe be welcoming; approachable; have the tiniest bit of respectful tone? I really liked this place, but this is the third time I've witnessed Brent behave so disrespectfully towards customers. As though he owns the place so he can respond to customers however he wishes and then tell them if they don't like it, there are plenty of other places to be. I always thought, "Yikes. The guy is clearly having a really bad day. Just stay away from him and give him a break. There are plenty of other super friendly bartenders that happily serve people." But now I know better. It happened to me today and I was incredibly confused as to what sparked him up like that. Maybe he does own the joint? Maybe that's why he behaves the way he does because no one can tell him anything any ways. Sadly; Brent, if you're the owner of Night Owl Leander, that's absolutely not the environment anyone ever thought this place would be. I don't think anyone should recommend this place with ownership like that. Friendly, family welcoming and loving our community -- our community doesn't want businesses like this. We thought this was going to be an inviting place. It's tarnished with people like Brent. We really thought the face of Night Owl was so much better than this. Guess not and that's just sad for our community... read more

Pretty place, but kind of expensive, bartenders are not friendly at all. They look like don't like or want to work. Always with bad attitude and very serious. No good music. It feels like you are drinking in a library. read more

I love this bar! Such great vibes and really good craft cocktails! The staff is always so friendly! New spot to chill with friends!

Super cute little bar and a great vibe! Inside and outside seating! So glad it opened here in Leander!

The beers are reasonably priced and their old fashioned is pretty good (but not so reasonably priced). The interior is nice but it's small and fills up fast. Luckily it has a large outdoor seating area. There wasn't any food options when I went but I'm told they will eventually have some food trucks. It's right across the street from a few places you can grab a bite between drinks if you get hungry. read more
