    This place is really nice and comfortable. Great place to get a drink and spend time with friends. Good drinks. I had the lobster roll and it was delicious. Highly recommend.

    Came here for drinks on a Thursday night with a friend, and stumbled upon a burlesque show!! Completely unexpected, but we were down for the experience. The drinks were great, the food was delicious, the wait staff were very kind, and the show was super entertaining. Highly recommend checking them out on a burlesque night, every other Thursday! :-)

    Thank you to Josh for making the best mezcal sour ever!

    Thank you to Josh for making the best mezcal sour of all time! If you like an extra kick, ask for it with Hellfire Bitters. Ambiance is intimate and loungey. We always have a nice time here every time we visit. They have a small menu of nibbles, we tried the bruschetta and enjoyed it.

    The Blind Finch in Spring, Texas is such a charming, nostalgic speakeasy and just like its sister spot, The Thistle Draft shop, it's run perfectly by the same owner. You can really tell the care and passion that goes into both venues. The Blind Finch has a cozy, quaint vibe that feels like stepping back in time. It's always busy (in a good way!), and the atmosphere is warm, lively, and welcoming. Their craft cocktails are outstanding, and the menu pairs perfectly with the speakeasy feel. Whether you're stopping in for a cocktail, a date night, or a laid-back evening with friends, The Blind Finch never disappoints. A must-visit in Spring!

    Neat little spot, inside decor is prohibition era which is a nice touch. They do have snacks and food, and a large drink menu. Visit and find out! I had fun. Drinks were about $15 each.

    Our Drinks the Bourban/expresso So good. And a Singapore Sling.

    We lucked out and got a seat without the reservation. First time there and the mixed drinks were phenomenal! Ambiance was quaint, and everyone was friendly. Great date night.

    This spot is a hidden gem! No need to drive to houston for a swanky high end bar vibe. Drinks were amazing!

    We got on a walk-in waitlist and were paired up with two other small groups to share a sofa seating area inside the speakeasy. The ambiance was nice and moody and the bartender and waitstaff were prompt, but the drinks were really hit or miss. We got the Caribbean sunset (solid), margarita (standard), and ube martini (did not taste of ube at all, though they nailed the color).

    Another speakeasy for the books! Entrance to this speakeasy bar is through the back door, there will be caution written on the door, however someone at the brewery next door told me to knock 17 times!! The security got a kick out of that, and the door was not locked. Reservations recommended, they are busy during the weekend. We walked pass the wall of pictures and checked out the bathroom of mirrors. Then you enter this room, dim lighting with lights from the bar. We ordered a couple of appetizers to go with our drinks. Devil eggs with fried chicken on top, and tuna tartar with coleslaw and melon balls. Cocktails were also good.

    The service was utterly horrendous. Vibes were a 5/5, but service was a complete -100/10. If you don't want to be treated like dirt DONT COME HERE. For a fancy speakeasy you would think the service would be at least decent. Although it was a Saturday night, it wasn't super busy. Me and my friends had a reservation and sat at a table and had to wait 30 minutes before our existence was acknowledged, and that's ONLY because we flagged him down. Now how long would you say it would take to make 3 drinks? 15 minutes? IMO i think that's more than enough time. Well, it took them 40 minutes and we had to flag the server down AGAIN to remind him that we ordered drinks. I also think he doesn't even know the drinks bc I feel like his recommendations were mid. Also the way we had to essentially beg for water is insane. Man didn't come up to us ONCE to ask how things were / if he could get us anything. Yea like just let us rot away i guess. Anyways, we were down for a second round and this time we waited 45 minutes before we were able to even find the server. How fcking ridiculous is that. When we asked where our drinks were, he had the nerve to say "oh what drinks did you guys get again?" Like oh maybe the drinks that we asked 45 minutes ago? So if you want to wait forever for you drinks or have a shitty service this is your place to go.

    Such a fun spot for great drinks. Rookie mistake, as I've never been to a speakeasy, I didn't realize the entrance was in the back but thankfully my husband did. Once we got it, the decor, the vibe, the drinks were all great. The deviled eggs were just okay, but that's our bad because the waitress recommended other things.

    Wanted to take my husband to a cool speak easy and went to check out this place after the reviews I saw and I must say it was a pretty cool spot. We legit almost got lost trying to find it but then I saw the secret door in the back. We loved the vibe inside, the music and the bar is absolutely stunning. We ordered a few drinks and sat in a cozy spot. We had a charcuterie board that was absolutely delicious. I will say most people sat at the bar and most of the servers hung out there but our service was good no complaints but we also came in very early before lots of people got there. It's a great place to chill and not be in a hurry.

    Fruity mocktail (back) and cucumber and mint cocktail in front (cannot find or remember the name :( )

    This place is SO COOL. I had no idea that there was a cocktail lounge like this up in Spring!! The decor is really cool - very 1920's/prohibition style. Lots of lounge chairs and love seats and bar seating. My friend asked for a mocktail and the bartender made her a "fruity" one that was really delicious and refreshing. I got a cucumber and mint cocktail (I cannot find or remember the name). It was really refreshing and I enjoyed it, but I will probably try something new the next time that I go back. We also split the bruschetta, which was absolutely delicious. Overall, this place is perfect for a date night or a GNO and I will definitely be back.

    Can you get just a regular martini there? If so, is it a good one?

    Shaken or stirred? Lol

    5/5 Great food and ambience We went on the last day for…read morerestaurant week for lunch and enjoyed the atmosphere. We got the Strawberry Caprese salad, blackened ahi crudo, bourbon brisket and fries, cornmeal crusted catfish with sweet chili glaze over mushrooms risotto, and pig candy. 5/5 Strawberry caprese salad. Very nice and light salad. The balsamic vignerette is not overpowering which I enjoyed. Would get again. 4.5/5 Blackened ahi crudo. A little bit on the saltier side but still very enjoyable and tasty. Wonton crisp is nice addition. Good presentation. 5/5 Bourbon brisket & fries. Delicious burger. The brisket was delicious and mouthwatering along with the caramelized onions, and bread was mildly sweet and tasty. 5/5 corneal crusted catfish. Definitely one of the best catfish I've tasted. The top is crunchy and the glaze has a fruity flavor which paired well with the fish and risotto. Highly recommend! 3.5/5 Pig candy. I read some good reviews about the candy and decide to try it. It was too salty for me and I felt needed another glaze or salad to pair with. Not bad but just not a favorite. Enjoy!

    Y'all don't sleep on Bosscat because it's worth the trip. Tried it today for the first time and…read moreordered off their Houston restaurant week menu and highly recommend. I got the blacked ahi crudo and the cornmeal catfish with sweet chili glaze over mushroom risotto and wow! The crudo came with wonton chips and absolute perfection. Great flavor of citrus, seared tuna, and the right ratio of crudo to wonton chips. My lunch guest got the crawfish hush puppies which weren't as great as the crudo- dry but came with an amazing gravy so definitely soak them up in that, but was lacking crawfish- had to search for them in each hush puppy- trust me, get the crudo. The catfish dish- wow- large serving I had to take home the leftovers. The crispy cornmeal was perfect, the sweet chili glaze wasn't spicy but more like a sweet and sour sauce which sounds odd with catfish but it works! So delicious. And that bed of mushroom risotto- creamy, and with plenty of mushroom pieces, no skimping there and we're not taking about teeny pieces and sparse mushroom in this risotto, good size pieces and plenty! Although it was lunch we also added dessert- the banana foster egg roll, crispy on the outside, great cinnamon flavor, a delicious buttery sauce, so you can pour on top as much to as you like and a soft, sweet, delicious banana filling. Perfect end to the meal on a sweet note. and then also had the black Aji tuna nachos so good lots of flavor some citrus to it. Mushroom risotto amazing. Service: impeccable. Everybody was super nice very helpful and the ambiance was like a sophisticated, relaxed atmosphere focused on comfort and unhurried conversation. I loved everything about the experience and would definitely go again.

It wasn't bad, it just wasn't my preference. I would not get it again. The service at this location was poor today. Since it was pretty empty and all the staff members were surrounding the bar, I sat at the bar. The team was more engaged with their interactions between one another than checking on my party. Each request I made was unnecessarily delayed. When I requested a container which was within eyesight and reach of the staff, I watched the employee stop and check on 2 other guests and make them drinks BEFORE handing me the container. I asked a 2nd person behind the bar and they did a similar thing before passing a container to me. There were 4 people behind the bar and maybe 5 guests, but each time I needed assistance, I had to ask more than once. Also, I could see my food items sitting in the kitchen while the team was continually chatting in the bar. This is my 3rd time at this location, and it will be my last. Although I like some of the menu items, the service today has depleted my tolerance for this location.
