What a perfectly appointed little hideaway in a nondescript strip mall. The kitschy secret back entrance really sets the stage for the gem of a prohibition era speak easy.
A diverse and eclectic menu has something for everyone. The dark lighting and low seating make for intimate drinks with friends or a date.
Service is spotty but attentive if perhaps a bit quick to bristle, I’m guessing they get a decent amount of difficult customers.

We’ll definitely be back

We love Blind Finch and what Mary had created. Tonight was the exception. The waiter must have fallen off the Whataburger truck and got this job with his fleeting charm because after insulting us with telling us the painkiller is a not a rum punch and the Breakfast cocktail is the same as a a whisky sour we decided we would spend our money and tips at a venue that will honor their theme. Mary, your servers make a difference and when they don’t respect your vision of prohibition era cocktails and velvet furniture vibe, training is needed or they gotta go!

Love so much about this place but there is one dude bartender that keeps us from returning. He told us he was from California, enough said. There are good bartenders there like Shelby, who will listen to what you want and craft you an amazing drink! Sick of being drink shamed by Mr California so won’t be back for a while but it’s definitely a cool venue with (probably) good drinks.

First time here, left Thistle, neighbors next door wanted to check this place out. We were greeted. I’m very patient, drink took a while to make. Went to the restroom and back to my chair, drink was still in the making. My friends came by from Thistle, making a party of 6. They say there is a dress code but I do not see anywhere online there’s a dress code. At the end of the night we were getting kicked out because my husband put his hat back on. We were also over charged an extra drink we never got. Sucks we won’t be returning.

IYKYK.
Pray, this venerable establishment exudes an air of remarkable coolness and ease.
It harks back to a bygone era, invoking a nostalgic charm.
I am loath to proclaim its virtues and risk diminishing its allure, yet it is of such exceptional merit that it cannot remain a secret.

Disclaimer – I didn’t eat or drink anything here as I was in attendance of a private event.

This establishment is amazing! I went with some friends and had a great time. The staff is friendly and creative. Danny help to introduce me to new cocktails that speak for themselves on the the level of exquisite taste. I recommend The Blind Finch to everyone I can!

I CANNOT say enough amazing things about this place! My husband and I were in town for a graduation party and we decided to try The Blind Finch to wind down the evening. He and I had never been to a speakeasy before and now I will be trying to find one every where I go! The ambiance inside of this place is wonderful. Intimate while still lively. The decor is perfect for the occasion and we loved that it was a smaller place so even though it was full, you still have a feeling of privacy.

Even though GPS did its job, we had a hard time finding the place. The entrance is located in the back of the building and has a sign that says "Closed" on it, although if you read the writing its clear that it's part of the setting the scene. When we walked in we were greeted by Wendy who did such an amazing job all night that we thought she was one of the managers. Zoe was the server who took care of us and she was great! It looked like she was working the room on her own, but she still managed to check on us enough that we never felt ignored, but not so much that it was intrusive. She even went the extra mile and got my husband some extra bread for the hummus right when the kitchen was closing. All the food was fantastic! We had the Spicy Devil Eggs and the Finch Dip. Both were the perfect sizes to go along with our drinks as we weren't expecting a full menu - just some bites to eat. Of course, the man attraction was the drinks. Danny was our bartender and he absolutely killed it!

First, my husband ordered the Underdressed cocktail and Danny came to our table personally to let us know he didn't have all the ingredients and offer recommendations. My husband decided to go with a Dapper Dan (loved it!) and I had the Queen of Hearts which was equally as tasty. We found out Danny makes a mean sazerac (IYKYK!!) and that was our 2nd, 4th and 5th drinks for the evening...lol. The 3rd drink was a Ramos Gin Fizzy which I never heard of before but MAN was it AWESOME!! My husband doesn't like gin, but enjoyed every sip of this drink. If we lived in town we would absolutely be regulars here, so if you're in the area do yourself a favor and make sure you stop by for a one of a kind experience!
