I went to this place last week with my friend. We were looking for a new place to go dancing, so we walked around downtown and stumbled upon this speakeasy. It was my first time at a speakeasy, and it was really cool to see how the barbershop transformed into a clubby vibe area just by going behind one door. Based on my experience, I might come back, but I'm not too sure. I will say this place is great, depending on the kind of vibe you're into.

What a fun night out with my honey! We did some touristy bar hopping in our city and this was one of our stops. The bar has a cool barbershop like aesthetic and speakeasy theme.

Also, I felt there was a nice mix of music genres playing so the experience was most definitely inclusive. My only concern was the stickiness of the floors it felt like my shoes kept getting stuck but again it is dark and crowded in there so it is easy to spill a drink on the floor haha either way the Blind Barber was a great late night vibe.

Some random person walking by us like a visiting angel told us to "check out the bar behind the barber shop" and we (very apprehensively because we thought we were being punked) went inside. The bouncer at first played like he had no idea what we were talking about and I... read full review
