Parking is exactly what you'd expect for downtown, so just make sure you lock your car and don't leave anything visible. We went around 5 PM on a Thursday. It started fairly quiet and gradually got busier throughout the evening, but it never felt overcrowded. They do have a rule that if there's a waitlist, your time may be limited to about two hours so they can seat other guests, which is reasonable for a place like this. The drinks were fantastic. I honestly didn't have a bad drink all night. They offer cold drinks, room temperature drinks, hot drinks, and just about every type of spirit you can think of. The cocktails are very creative, and the bartenders will actually warn you ahead of time if a drink has flavors they think you might not like, which I appreciated. The bartenders were excellent and really knew what they were doing. We had a spicy margarita, mojito, whiskey smash, an ube cocktail, and a few others, and all of them were great. Prices were fair for the quality, creativity, and overall experience. Not cheap, but definitely not overpriced either. One thing I really respected was that they had Narcan and fentanyl test strips available on-site. You don't see that often, and it shows they actually care about people's safety. If you're looking for craft cocktails in Fresno, this place is definitely worth visiting. I'll definitely be coming back.

Frank was tending and did an amazing job. I wanted to try new drinks, but not sure where to start. Frank gave great recommendations. The Pepina was my favorite I ordered it twice. A cucumber pineapple based cocktail. The inside of the bar is decorated beautifully with photos along all the walls, bathrooms are clean. They have a stage for live performances by bands. Seating off to the side if you don't want to sit directly at the bar. Returned a second time on a busier night, staff is friendly, drinks are being made promptly, crowds is lowkey chill vibes. Older adults who are mature, drama free crowd. I really enjoy coming to The Howlin Wolf. 10/10 would recommend!! I don't have photos of the area, but I have photos of my pretty drinks

I've been here a few times and my last visit was just ok, this time around it was pure bliss…read more My wife and I took advantage of a kid free day and some beautiful weather and enjoyed a few sips on their back patio. This is just a beer bar, so beers and seltzers only. I went with the Crow and Wolf Ocean Blast seltzer; a blue coconut, mango, pineapple, and lime beverage. Insanely good and refreshing on a hot afternoon. My wife went a peach seltzer that was just as tasty. We sat in the backyard area, that offers plenty of seating, a few TVs, and a ordering window so you don't need to head to the inside bar to order more drinks. The out area has smoking and non-smoking sections and is dog friendly, but they must be leashed. For food, we went the tri-tip BBQ pizza and a soft pretzel. The pizza was delicious and the perfect size for two people. Huge chunks of tri-tip, spicy BBQ sauce, and very cheesy. I asked for jalapenos on the side for an extra kick of heat. Right now is the perfect time to hit up this place since the weather has been so beautiful. Make sure to check their Instagram page for live music and keep supporting local!

They had a little arcade area with indoor seating. We ended up playing ping pong which was fun but since it was dark they didn't have good lighting beside the one light bulb from the wall. I got a dark horse drink which was pretty good. They had small bathrooms but I liked how they decorated St Patrick's theme. They also sold food and snacks. There was a cute cat in the cafe too. The music was cool and even saw a couple people dancing. It's a nice spot to bring your friends or go on a date night.

But the biggest disappointment was the charcuterie board... it was $70 and only had pepper jack cheese and a little dish of a goat cheese spread. I don't think pepper jack belongs on a nice charcuterie let alone the main cheese that is featured. It seemed like they were just out of any other cheese and threw on what they had. Overall it was a fine experience but not sure I would return.
