Craft beer lovers can’t seem to get enough of the Blind Tiger’s impressive rotation of 28 draught brews and large selection of microbrews. Unassuming from the outside, it’s easy to walk by without noticing the bar in the middle of the day. Come evening and it’s a different story.
Locals spill into the streets, masterfully tracking down open tables, parking themselves when the opportunity finally presents itself. While not a cocktail bar by any pigment of the imagination, the Blind Tiger is such a special neighborhood bar, I feel like I’d be doing you a disservice if I didn’t mention it.
