tl;dr - a date night out with great staff and even better drinks Tin Widow is something special - the ambiance, the decor, the lightning - there's just something different about it and elevates things from your typical chic cocktail lounge. Always a cozy vibe with lit candles, but the staff really drives it for something different as they are caring, creative and are actually willing and seem like they want to chat with you when they have a breather. You would definitely want to come here for a romantic night out or just a great catchup night with friends. Again the decor is kind of fun, there's a lot of interesting little statues and art around that will be a conversation topic if you need one. This place also turns into a CRAZY hotspot during December where it's like a Miracle holiday pop up where it looks like Christmas has been (very lovingly) vomited all over the entire inside. A fun holiday drink menu and the crazy decorations make that a VERY hard place to get into when it's active. Basically, visit it at least once (it's fun to check out) and then become a normal Tin Widow regular and avoid that month like a plague. P.S. don't be weirded out, the bathroom is in a little bit of a strange area out the inside door and down a hallway, but it's all fine - you'll find it!

Loved this spot! I have never been to Tin Window, so my experience was during their Christmas pop up bar. However, I loved the feel of the building and will definitely be trying it now that the holidays are ending! My drink was phenomenal, which was the Jingle Balls Nog. It was the perfect creamy drink! The decorations were insanely impressive. Twinkly lights everywhere made it feel so Christmas-y! The service was quick and each drink had such a cute presentation. I will definitely be back next Christmas season, as well as this year to see what it's like without all the lights and festive decor!

I celebrated my New Years Eve evening here, and it was the best. The owner came out and talked to everyone, and she watched after a young woman who looked like she needed some water after too many drinks. I absolutely loved the environment and vibe in the air. The drinks were delicious as well.

Tin Widow is just a wonderful corner bar all year round, with their cozy vibes, classic cocktails and friendly mixologists. This year, we finally made it in for the annual Miracle Christmas Pop-Up, and a holiday-themed date night. The decorations are an absolute showstopper! There is so much to look at. I could have spent hours there just finding all the fun, hidden nods to Holiday movies, traditions and stories. The wait for a drink was a bit long, but it was a busy Friday night, and the wait was well worth it. We appreciated the time and attention taken for each specialty cocktail, especially with the higher price point. We tried 4 different holiday drinks, each served in a themed glass or mug. My favorite was the Snowball Old-Fashioned with a gingerbread twist and a giant "snowball" ice cube. My fiancé loved the gin-based Marshmallows and Unicorns. It came in the most adorable Unicorn mug, which you could purchase. But, at $22, the price was a little steep for us to justify taking one home. Overall, we had a wonderful, festive night kicking off December, and hope to make it back one more time before the New Year! Cheers to Holiday Cheer!

I had one of the best gin drinks of my life. A great date, night spot or chill spot to have deep conversations. I'm trying to think of the bartender's name but she work Thursday night and I was so impressed with how friendly and efficient she
