Raised By Wolves

What an impressive bar and nice ambiance. Loved the revolving fireplace entrance. The service was amazing from the hostess to the bartender. For being super busy the service was definitely on point. The drinks were super good and so nicely made. I would definitely recommend coming here, hands down probably one of the gorgeous speakeasy bar.

Our time at Raised by Wolves was pretty good. I was really excited for some unique cocktails in a beautiful bar. The cocktails we had were good but lacked the refinement was I hoping for after hearing several raving reviews. Now, after visiting RBW, I suspect the good reviews I heard here so high because of the experience and not in particular about the cocktails. It's not to say they were bad - they were good but I have definitely had better. I would go elsewhere if you just wanted a top notch drink. The service was fine. They were super busy when we were there. The staff were responsive but it was hard to get their attention because the place was packed. The overall ambiance was nice. If you like crowded bars you would enjoy it but if you are looking to have an intimate conversation maybe try an off time (or maybe not a Saturday afternoon/evening)

Friend and I came here on a weeknight. It was easy to make a reservation, and they were very understanding when I was slightly late (sorry!).The ambience is lovely and reminded me of my nights at NYC cocktail bars (with much more space). The cocktail menu is extensive, and the server even mentioned that they could always make me something else if I wanted to go off-menu, which I didn't, but made note of for next time. Server was very friendly and attentive.The only "issue" is that they have no bites/snacks, so it's important to make sure that you get something to eat before, if you need. Thankfully, my friend and I were able to move on over to Marugame to fill our bellies.

Nothing like spinning through a picturesque fireplace in an apothecary storefront to reach a cavernous speakeasy before getting one's drink on! The ambiance alone would be worth a cover charge and yet there's none, albeit of course the drinks ain't cheap. What you'll find inside is premium cocktails at premium prices, which is totally fair, and excellent service - always a bonus when faced with a mind-bogglingly extensive menu. Pro tip: make a reservation or risk a long wait!My party of 4 including one teetotaler particularly loved the Cosmic Dancer (London Dry Gin, Pasubio Vino Amaro, Raspberry, Lemon) from the Refreshing section, Golden Afternoon (Lyre's Zero Proof Gin, Cream, Orange, Coconut, Ginger) from the Zero Proof section, and When Things Go South (House Root Beer Liquor, Demerara Rum, Whey Distilled Vodka, Hand-Whipped Vanilla Cream) from the Decadent section. Pro tip #2: no food, so either eat before/after or simply drink your calories that evening like I did! ;)

Raised by wolves has the cool experience of speakeasy. Crowds are drawn to the novelty and atmosphere of this beautiful establishment. After experiencing a wider range of speakeasies I do prefer a less ice forward drink but the ambiance is fun and great to visit to enjoy the company of a friends day out. Mixologists are running circles around this circular bar. A good place for admiring their artistic flair and interpretations. Make reservations for bar or table seating online or go on a less busy day and walk in. Service is wonderful, attentive and accommodating. At the UTC mall with plenty of covered parking, on the north end of the mall. Look for the wall of blue.

From the entry to the ambience to the drinks, I enjoyed it all! ENTRYFrom the outside, you can't peak inside the bar at all. The very cool way you enter is you first speak with the host to get ID'ed, then you are prompted to sit by the fireplace. There are only 2 seats (so if you have a party of more than 2 people, know that some people have to stand). Then, the fireplace very slowly turns 180 degrees and you start turning into this darkly lit space. There is a host on the other side that will lead you to your table. STEP INSIDEFrom the way you enter, it's almost like you escaped the outside realm which is the Westfield mall. The whole space is pretty cool. They really designed this place very nicely from the ceiling to the walls to the chairs. They have a center piece where all of the bartenders are working. Some people can sit by the bar stools. But majority are tables around that space. It's very dimly lit inside, so you rely on a candle to read the menu, but it creates a vibe. DRINKSMost of their menu are speciality cocktails - unique flavors and combinations that I haven't seen. They are several pages of different types of alcohol drinks, so you are bound to find something you enjoy or are willing to try. Typically range around $17 for a speciality drink. I personally got the {TIKI ROOM} - it's a tropical/sweet rum based drink. Has pineapple flavor (hence the yellow color) with some decor of flowers and basil. It was a decently sized drink and typically the type of drinks that I go for, so I enjoyed it. My friend who came with me got the {PURE IMAGINATION} - which is a chocolate-y liquor drink. She said that it almost didn't taste like alcohol and more like a sweet chocolate drink, so she drank it really fast. She really loved it. It's almost deceiving cause it doesn't taste like alcohol, but definitely has.Overall, my friend and I had a great experience. Drinks were good, service is great. The only reason we left after one drink was because of the time limit of the 2 hour free mall parking. Otherwise, we might have grabbed another drink. Anyways, I would recommend this speakeasy to those looking for a unique bar experience.

Don't you just love it when your friends spontaneously choose a place and surprise you?! This was today's case and Raised by Wolves is an amazing "hidden" speakeasy located in plain sight at an outdoor mall. No wait and we walked right in around 4 pm on a weekday. The entrance to the speakeasy is a fireplace that REVOLVES and takes you into the dimly lit bar. Velvet chairs, a strategically placed fountain, and lavish decor are strewn on the walls wherever you look. Menu was extensive with all sorts of concoctions and I was blown away by the innovative combos and flavor pairings. Ugh. Everything is so fun and well thought out. Bold and Brash: 5/5 for this intricate drink! Sharp, smoky, spicy, and a bit of sweetness at the end. What a medley of flavors that shook me to my core. Would come back here for a first date bc it gives off romantic and adventurous vibes too!

It's not often that I am rewarded for going to a mall, but this time it happened! I mean it's hard not to like a speakeasy through a hidden wall that is all about wolves but on top of that the cocktails are beauties. My favorite was the Tiramisu'Tini. It was an espresso martini with a makeover. With rum, gin, cold brew liqueur, cinnamon but most importantly, a hand whipped cream float people! The menu was really varied I loved the decor. Make sure you make a rez!

I enjoy going to the speak easy through the revolving fireplace, such a nice touch. The dark dramatic atmosphere is fun for some elaborate drinks we tried the cosmic dancer (very refreshing but could use more drink less ice), the uno ojo, and the tiramisu tini. Drinks are around $20 a piece

Very cozy yet lively atmosphere hidden behind a fireplace. The cocktails were very creative and delicious. I first had the Tiki Room, which was like a fancier pina colada. I then had the Culture Shock, which was an excellent Japanese whisky-based drink with plum and coconut flavors and a hint of pandan.
