Pizza is good, but that's all. There is a weasel bartender who likes to micromanage and likes to watch the patrons. He will never speak his name and never hand a glass to a customer. It's like he's afraid someone is going to take it down to the lab and run his fingerprints. Never mind the unmarked cars in the parking lot. This place is bright and loud. The staff is paranoid. The service is non-existent. Worst of all, as this is a bar, the drinks are terrible. Muddled old-fashioned? Sweet and sour mix in a whiskey sour? They even have Proper 12 as part of their "largest collection" to really drive home that this is not really a bar at all. It's a waste of time if you want proper cocktails and a decent atmosphere. If you have an addiction, the place looks like it caters to you. Keep an eye out for all the Fords in the parking lot, especially across the street.
UPDATE: Went there after my previous review to grab a pizza and beer. The psychoticly paranoid bartender with the half goatee decided the bar wasn't good enough for me, and that I should leave for good. Apparently he didn't like my review (the baby doesnt like negative feedback). It proves my point. Something shady from that place. Bartenders should be friendly and welcoming. This place is run like a car dealership and everything about it is a facade.

Best part of this place was the server named Nicole. Atmosphere is more like a sports bar than a whiskey establishment. I’ve lived in D.C., Virginia, Pennsylvania, California, Japan, and UAE… they have a large selection, but the mixologist needs a little more seasoning on how to make cocktails. If you want a nice place to watch sports then go here. If you want a quality whiskey cocktail, choose another like Chido or Monarch
Me and my husband were very excited to try a new bar/restaurant after hearing rave reviews about The Owl. We were extremely disappointed to put it lightly. We both come from service industry and haven’t had this bad of service in a while. We sat at the bar and were not greeted right away the Hispanic man with a black shirt on had to tell the other girl to get our drink order. Drinks were good but we were never told either of the bartenders names. He never came back to ask us if we were ready to order food I had to flag him down after finishing 1 whole drink that we were ready to order. The food was delicious but he never asked us how it was or if we needed anything. My husband’s drink was empty by the time the pizza came but was never asked if he wanted another cocktail. Our waters were also never refilled. We were never informed of the specials and the female bartender couldn’t even tell me if she recommended the signature cocktail I ordered because she has “never had it”. We would’ve gotten way better service if we sat at a table as the bartenders both looked like they wanted nothing to do with us. The male bartender answered his personal phone behind the bar and he paid way more attention to the customers he personally knew that were sitting at the bar. Overall we loved the food but don’t think we will return after receiving that bad of service on a Wednesday evening with a half full restaurant
Not sure what people are seeing with the atmosphere or fascination with the pizza. A bit expensive for what it is and where it’s located.
