This review is a 4.5 (for me) but I'm rounding up to five stars. Origami Sake Bar is a nice…read moreaddition for El Paso! It's been around for a few months. I had no idea it existed until recently. It's a fun and classy speakeasy inside of Tin Man on George Dieter. They keep their location hidden on social media...I guess because it's a speakeasy? I think the concept is cute and fun. I almost felt like I wasn't in El Paso anymore! They have cute Japanese knick knacks and decor. There's only two tables and a small bar area. This is probably why it's hard to get a reservation. You can make a reservation by messaging them on Facebook or Instagram. If they don't get back to you, give them a call at Tin Man. They're open Thursday-Saturday from 7pm to 2 am and Sundays from 2-9 pm. Before Origami Sake Bar, I've only had sake a couple of times straight and...it was super strong. It almost knocked me out of my seat! This is coming from a lady who could drink Tequila like water. Those days are long gone btw. However, this sake bar changed those previous experiences for me. Why? Because they offer a combination of sweet and strong drinks. I had to have a sweet drink so I went with the Grogu. Forgive me, I can't remember what exactly was in it. If you like boba tea, this is the drink for you. It had a lot of boba balls in it. The Yoda stein holds a lot of drink and it stays cold. I was good with just this one drink. FYI: The drinks are not happy hour prices. My tab was $17 and change for one drink. I almost asked for a growler of Sangria from Tin Man instead. I'm not saying the drink was bad because it wasn't. I'm sure I was paying for the novelty of the stein and bar. The place doesn't offer any food. You can eat before or after...or bring your own. It would be cool if they offered Japanese snacks or cheese boards, something. Tin Man doesn't offer food so I guess it's the same here. Thank you for recommending Origami Sake Bar, Jenny L.! Thank you for also inviting me! :) Check it out if you get a chance.

Sake it to me El Paso! Yes... there's a hidden Sake bar speakeasy in El Paso, and it's gorgeous, along with my girlfriends that came out to check it out with me. It was a bit difficult to get an RSVP, I messaged them thru their FB page, but they didn't respond so I ended up calling the location which was Tin Man and they got me connected to RSVP. After that they were super responsive and gracious. We ended up having 8 ladies show up but at different times and they were nice enough to let us stay until the next reservation showed up at 10pm. We had a great time, drinks were strong and unique. Only things I would recommend to change are getting a better menu QR, it made you download the menu instead of just showing you, and not mixing the popping boba and regular boba in the drinks as it's a HUGE choking hazard, especially when drinking alcohol. I would definitely recommend this place for a cute night out or date night. They let you bring outside food in and we brought Riva's carne asada fries and nachos. Make sure you have a reservation though. Something new and fun in El Paso. Come out and #supportlocal Origami Sake Bar

I really wanted to enjoy my time at Tin Man, but the experience was incredibly uncomfortable from…read morestart to finish. The biggest issue was the environment. We were harassed by a couple of older regulars--a guy and his buddy--who kept calling us "SLOW" for no apparent reason. It was unnecessary, rude, and really soured the mood. You'd hope for a welcoming neighborhood spot, but this felt more like a hostile "locals-only" club where if you don't fit a certain mold, you aren't welcome. To make matters worse, the service didn't help. The bartender was extremely awkward and made the interaction feel forced and weird, rather than hospitable. Between the insults from the other customers and the strange energy from behind the bar, we couldn't wait to leave. Bottom line: If you're looking for a friendly, inclusive place to grab a drink, I'd suggest looking elsewhere. We won't be back. 2/21 around 4pm

This experience was OK/alright. I've read reviews on the eastside location and they aren't good…read more Let's start with the good first. I enjoyed the atmosphere and look of the place a lot. It was pretty chill which I liked. The place was also really clean. The waitress we had was nice and friendly. She checked on how we were doing a couple of times. She did disappear for some time but eventually came and checked on us. I liked her personality and the service she gave us. They also have a pretty good menu of beer and a signature drink menu. Some of the drinks are named after El Paso landmarks...for example a Scenic Drive. Now for the not so good... Unfortunately, I didn't see any of the employees wearing masks. I didn't like that too much. There was a sign on the door that asked for patrons to wear masks upon entering. I ordered a margarita flight. Sad to say...I didn't really enjoy it. The drinks were overly sweet. I like sweet drinks but this was too much. I didn't taste any tequila in them whatsoever. I don't like margaritas to be too strong either. I want to be able to taste the mix and tequila together. There has to be a balance of both. I had to ask the waitress to bring me a couple of shots of Hornitos. It still wasn't enough! I could still taste the sweetness in them. I didn't even get a little bit buzzed and...I've sort of become a lightweight drinker these days! We ordered a pretzel and wings. The pretzel came with cheese and mustard. The wings came with French fries. Both entrees were too salty. I couldn't eat too much of either. One minor detail was the music they were playing. I kid you not...one minute they were playing heavy metal music like Pantera. The next song they played after that was "My Heart will go on" from "Titanic" and Celine Dion. "The Thong Song" was playing a bit prior to this. Really?? I had a little flashback of partying it up in Juarez for a few minutes there back in the late 90s, early 2000s. If you know you know...If you're from El Paso, you definitely know. Lol. I realize they just opened this second location a couple of weeks ago. Perhaps there are still some kinks to work out. We all know this usually happens when a bar/restaurant first opens. Would I come back? I might. I often believe in giving second chances. I'm interested in trying that Scenic Drive mixed drink. Plus, they're around five minutes away from the house. This cost a little over $50. I'll update the review if I have to and if I decide to come back. It's located where a pizzeria once was.

Place is nice. I like cozy small bars like this. We went mid day around 2. Drink menu is underwhelming. I had the flowershop and my husband had the expresso martini. Not a true expresso but it was good. Nothing else looked appealing. Lots of tequila options so if thats your jam, then you may enjoy the drink menu much more. Drinks were okay and it was 28$ for 2 drinks which wouldn't be an issue if they were really great drinks. I think it has a lot of potential but we wouldn't come back.

What I enjoyed is that this was beginner friendly for folks who aren't much into wine but are curious. They also have two or three beers on draft to enjoy. From sandwiches to charcuterie boards, you can enjoy plenty of snacks for the table. I really liked how they had the besos caliente sauce on sale for bottles to take home or as an app with crackers and cream cheese. (Don't knock it till you try it) There was live music on that day so it was nice to really unwind. Take a walk around and learn the history of the house.

We ordered a charcuterie board to hold us over, their boards never disappoint, but I unfortunately forgot to take a picture. We each chose a different dish, and all were absolutely delicious. I chose the Diablo pasta with chicken because I wanted something spicy, and let me tell you- it had a KICK. But it was DELICIOUS! Service is always so friendly, there was a bit of a wait for the dishes, which is not the norm, and they were very apologetic, but it was good with the Jazz music. You can always count on Wine Down for a very nice dining experience. Highly recommend.
