What players say

Blue owl has friendly bartenders and a chill atmosphere. Pool tables and pong room are pretty nice too

★★★★★ Ben, Aug 2019

I have been here for the first time at midnight since the bar opened back due to covid19, omg this bar was super crowded, all of them were students, if you are not young around 20s, this is not the place for you.

★★★★★ Nok, Jun 2020

Amazing trivia on Fridays, not a lot of seating. Not a great beer selection, like 4 on tap that aren't generic domestics. Still the trivia though is worth it.
