The Owl Bucharest

Bucharest finest cocktail bar

"The cocktails are not only delicious but visually stunning as well, served in exquisite glassware that enhances the experience..."

Step into the captivating world of The Owl Cocktail House, a hidden gem and haven for cocktail enthusiasts seeking a personalized experience, a place where mixology takes center stage.

My first visit to The Owl was very interesting and I was captivated by their unique approach to crafting cocktails. Instead of a traditional menu, I was surprised when asked what I was in the mood for, I shared my love for fruity flavors and gin, and they promised to create something special for me. Shortly after, a beautifully garnished cocktail was placed in front of me, offering a tantalizing glimpse of the flavors within. And it was amaziiing!

The cocktails are not only delicious but visually stunning as well, served in exquisite glassware that enhances the experience. The atmosphere is a perfect blend of energy and relaxation, with a DJ providing great music. The Owl Cocktail Bar is the ideal place to unwind and enjoy. Whether you're a cocktail enthusiast or simply looking for a memorable night out, The Owl promises to deliver an enchanting evening filled with delightful surprises. So, indulge your senses, embrace the unknown, and let The Owl work its magic as you embark on a journey of tantalizing flavors and unforgettable moments.
