Owl Tree

Very fun little bar close to Union square but far enough off the beaten path that it didn't feel touristy or too crowded. The bartender was only one working there when we arrived just after 4. He told us to sit wherever and come order at the bar. We were chatting and just about ready when he seeing by and grabbed our orders, since he was delivering nearby anyway. Very kind person! There were already at least 3 groups of 2 when we arrived (it opens at 4 so some people must have been here right away) and my the time we left an hour later it was packed! Must be a local favorite. I really liked the lighting and the big owl on the wall! The bar felt unique and vintage! We grabbed a seasonal cocktail, some cider aperol spritz and it was fine. You could order food via a QR code at the table. Seemed like it was coming from a partner location. Only drinks this time but I'm really glad we stopped by. This was the perfect escape from the cold on a Saturday before dinner.

super cozy local spot! swung by on a friday night with a group of 4 and it wasn't too busy, we got a booth immediately. the bartender was attentive (not hard to flag down at all) and really nice - she took the time to make a custom mocktaiil for my friend. she knew a lot of the customers personally - it seemed like a local go-to spot. we were looking for a more chill bar where we could just chat and hang out and this fit the bill perfectly. drinks were great too!

Stopped off here after checking out a bar the next block over. I like the homage to the owner who loves owls. Got service pretty quick here and the bar staff were nice. It was a good spot for me and my friends to chat with an interesting ambiance. Decor was fun and on theme. Didn't get food, but we were happy with our drinks. Thank you !

Great vibes for New Year's Eve, with cute decorations and fun props from staff. Reasonably priced drinks with good selection!

Came here after seeing the sign a month or so ago. Not a bad place at all, nice interior and good selection of liquor. They have 2 TVs & they're playing the NFL games on tonight. Service was prompt & the bartender was very nice (fyi it's a Sunday at 8pm)

Owls. Low light. Great music. Pictured is a beautiful Paloma. What else can you really ask for?

The atmosphere was welcoming and had a chill vibe, with lots of cute and quirky owl decor and art throughout. The place was packed with people on a Saturday night, but seats opened up at the bar in no time, so it worked out. Great service from the bartender. The old fashioned and hootie hoo gin and tonic were your classic cocktails but with fancier names on the "Wet Your Beak" menu, and made well. Also tried Blanton's bourbon, which had a nice balanced taste with just a tinge of sweetness. Decent drinks, good service, a pretty cool place to hangout.

Nice little bar near union square. They have good drinks and nice customer service. We had a couple of la Paloma's and were surprised that the charge was a couple bucks more than the menu price. It looked like we were charged extra for a top shelf alcohol. It's all good because we did enjoy the drinks.

Stopped by here after the Christmas pop up bar around the corner was closed. Surprised to see this bar had no line and was a little empty. A win for us! Owl tree has lots of owl decorations so the name is very suiting. It was nicely decorated for Christmas and the drinks are reasonable! Cocktails under $14! Nice booth and table seating. They had sports on one tv screen and a GoPro promo video on the other so that was kind of strange. Not sure what the clientele was but the old fashioned and Manhattan was nicely made. Will come here again.

Love this treasure of a bar. Staff is super friendly, attentive and makers of delicious cocktails. Highly recommend!
