    La Peligrosa (Vodka Banger) cocktail
    Doug B.

    We have been to the Blind Rabbit many times. They just released their new spring menu, so it was time to return again. We usually eat before visiting, but many of the new food items looked very good, so we had dinner also. They are usually very busy, so be sure to book a reservation on their website. We started out with the empanadas (Shrimp, Mozzarella, Parsley, Chili Flakes, Chef's Bomb Salsa, $18) to get something in our stomachs early. There are two good sized empanadas, perfect for sharing, stuffed full with cheese and plenty of shrimp, with a crisp crust. The salsa definitely has a kick and brings some heat. They were excellent and filling. My first cocktail was the "La Peligrosa" - Vodka Banger (White Hjerte Vodka, Capaletti, Green Chartreuse, Papaya, Pineapple, Lemon, $19). It was balanced and not boozy, with light fruit and a hint of chartreuse which I love. Her first cocktail was the "Oaxacan Trading Co." - Mango Jet Pilot (Oaxaxa Rum, Trinidadian Rum, Lime, Grapefruit, Cinnamon, Mango, Meletti Float, $19). The rums are at the perfect level, and there is some funk. It is nice and juicy, and the grapefruit, mango, and cinnamon are all there. This was our favorite drink of the night. I was going to have steak for dinner, so I ordered the "Viejito En Vacaciones" - Pineapple Old-Fashioned (Sagamore Rye, Pineapple, Toasted Almond, Tiki Bitters, $18). It was smooth and had some light spices. Her second was the "Hole Mole" - Agave Sour (Magenta Blanco, Divin Espadin, Mole, Chile, Lime, Chocolate Bitters, $20). I have never had mole so I wasn't sure what to expect. It was balanced and had some good complexity. It had a light heat and some chocolate notes, very enjoyable. For my entrée, I had the Prime Filet Mignon (Blueberry Red Wine Reduction, Potato Pave, Mushroom Cream, Egg Truffle, $58). Wow, what a presentation! This dish looks like something you'd pay a fortune for at a fancy French restaurant. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare plus, just as ordered. The filet has to be at least six ounces, if not more, and is cut in half and served in two pieces. The mushroom cream was good (there's some mushrooms on the plate also), but I really loved the blueberry red wine reduction. I've never had a poached egg with a filet for dinner before, but it totally worked, and the truffle oil added another layer of flavor. The potato pave (squares) were so good, nice thin slices of potato pressed together with a crispy exterior. This was an excellent entrée. She just wanted a few more appetizers for her main, so we ordered the Papas Bravas (Baby Dutch Creamers, Chorizo Seco, Brava Sauce, Aioli, Parsley Oil, $18). The plate was barely warm when it arrived, so we asked our server if she could heat it up, which she was happy to do. Once heated properly, it was way better and the potatoes and chorizo were both good. The sauce had a little heat to it. We also ordered the hummus (Garbanzo, Pickled Vegetables, Paprika, Toasted Pepitas, $20). This was another visually impressive and exotic looking dish. It's served with warm toasted pitas, and the hummus is flavorful. The pickled vegetables were a nice addition, and I particularly enjoyed the onions and jalapenos. For my last cocktail, I had the Nina Fresa - Strawberries & Cream Milk Punch (Mijenta Blanco, Strawberry, Lime, Milk Punch, $20). It wasn't mentioned in the description, so I was pleasantly surprised when it was served with a nice, thick foam on top. I was even more surprised to find that the foam had a great coconut flavor to it. It paired well with the strawberry flavor of the milk punch, and the lime was quite noticeable. It had a mellow sweetness, and was a good finisher after the more classic cocktails earlier. She finished with the Te Quiero - Tamarind Margarita (Divino Mezcal, Xila, Fernet Vallet, Tamarind, Honey, $19). This had a great flavor profile with a light smokiness. The host Anna was very friendly and seated us immediately. Our server was Georgina who we've had several times. She is always very friendly and provides great service, and this visit was no exception. She mentioned that the kitchen was a running a bit slow that night, and kindly offered us shots of our choice on the house. We asked her to surprise us, and she brought out what I believe were daiquiri shots which were delicious. Our bartenders were Adrian and Ruben, and they made great drinks. The new spring menu is excellent. We really enjoyed both the cocktails and the food. If you haven't visited in a while, now is a great time to come back.

    Nice speakeasy at Anaheim Packing District, reservations required! The drinks were yummy; the Saturn cocktail ($18) is the best. The food was ok; we got the Duck Confit Mac & Cheese ($19), Beef Tartare ($23), and a side of fries. It was tasty, but super small portions for the price. It's pretty small inside, but I think that's a lot of speakeasys. It is very dark inside. Service was great, and they let us stay a bit longer than our reserved time since I was late and couldn't find parking. (Parking is really tough, went on a Thursday night and was struggling for a bit) Would come again for their special menus!

    It's a cool spot to check out when visiting the Packing House in Anaheim. Highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time. Drinks are good and there's a decent selection of food items as well!

    Enjoyed this speakeasy! It is nicely "hidden" and the ambiance was cool- low lit, eclectic and cozy. The hostess was very sweet and let us in and seated us right away. There were 2 bartenders and a server for the tables. We sat at the bar. One of bartenders seemed to be newer but everyone was very nice. The drinks we ordered were yummy. We also ordered the crab cake, shrimp ceviche, and empanadas. We enjoyed everything we ordered. Unlike other places, there didn't seem to be a time limit or since it was a Tuesday evening, they weren't too busy. Again, the ambience and music were great. There was one area in the ceiling they need to fix but other than that, everything was good. You should def try it.

    Niña Fresa
    Alyanna S.

    Such a cool location! Emma (I believe that was her name) was efficient checking us in and leading is to our table. The waitress was also great and there was already water waiting for us. Since the water was sitting out, it wasn't as cold as I would have liked. But that didn't bother me too much since I ordered a Niña Fresa drink! I'd also had the Crab Cake, Creme Brûlée and the Banana Bread Pudding. I enjoyed each item, and my party really enjoyed the bread pudding specifically! The vibes are very unique; dim lighting with books as decor. At first they had music playing on the speakers but later in the evening there was an actual pianist! I'm a sucker for live entertainment. My party and I agreed we would like to come back someday!

    Parking can get hard since the lot is small. The bar is located inside the Packing District. It's best to make reservations 'cause the bar can get packed, and then you'd have to wait awhile. The bar is like a "speakeasy" and is really small inside. But the experience was pretty cool, and the waiter was super nice. I ordered the Candela (which was a fruity drink). It wasn't too strong, and it was really good! Recommendation(s): - Candela Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - Make reservations ahead of time - Parking lot is small - Located inside the Packing District - Bathrooms are outside the speakeasy

    It took a little while for us to get seated since no one was at the front to check us in, and a few parties with the same reservation time had lined up by the time we were helped. I had really loved the food menu on my previous visit, but I didn't realize the menu rotates. This time I ordered the duck confit truffle mac and cheese along with a tequila sour. Unfortunately, the duck was a bit dry, and the top layer of the mac and cheese was also dry and slightly hard, while most of the cheese sauce had settled at the bottom. That said, I really enjoyed my tequila sour. We were seated at the bar, and the service there was attentive--staff checked in on us regularly and were great about water refills and making sure we were enjoying our food and drinks.

They went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our time at this standout speakeasy bar! Brunch food was great, and the seasonal offerings were solid. I can't wait to come back by again!

    I've gotten mixed reviews for this place and I just wanted to check it out for this place. My honest review is, that it's actually pretty great!! The check in area is on the first floor next to the swings (if you know the double swings at the sitting area) and the host tells you if you can sit right away or if it's reservations only. I went on a weekday night without reservations and the speakeasy bar had some walk-in tables available. The inside isn't too big, usually small table or bar style. We tried a burger and some really good cocktails. Definitely recommend this place. This place is quite dark though, and I couldn't really see much of the colors that looked really pretty. But I loved the ambiance so much as well as the food/drink options. Check them out!!

    I've always wanted to try The Blind Rabbit. Last month, I heard through the grapevine that they were doing a Harry Potter theme, which finally pushed me to book a reservation. Our reservation was at 9:15 pm on a Saturday night, so we had dinner beforehand in the Anaheim Packing House. At 9:15, we walked over to the hostess stand to check in, but we were told that the kitchen was running behind. We would have to wait for a text to call us back. Around 20 minutes after our reservation time, we were finally allowed inside.  The inside of the speakeasy was stunning. Above, the ceiling was charged with the lightning of mystical storm clouds. And underneath, the soft, warm glow of the bar made me feel like I was standing outside an English pub on a rainy night. It was as if I was standing in Hogsmeade itself on a particularly magical night. Our server Georgina quickly made amends for our delayed seating time by delivering a tray of Cosmopolitan shots on the house. All was forgiven. The Cosmo shots, although strong, were refreshing and delicious - and for $0, they were great value.  My favorite drink of the night was the Lovegood Sour. I'm a sucker for tropical fruity flavors, and combining the pineapple with heavy spiced flavors such as the rye and cinnamon worked well and just made sense. The drink was served on a quirky wooden platter that looks exactly like something Luna Lovegood would pick.

    This review is about 3 years too late. But found these gems as I was cleaning up the photos from my phone, and given that the final season of Stranger Things is now streaming, I was hoping it would still be fun and relevant. I've come here several times over the years but I once came here with a friend during Halloween. The entire bar was decorated to resemble the Upside Down, complete with a Demogorgon coming through the wall. It was such a fun and creepy vibe that really set the mood. The drinks and service was spectacular, as always.

    Fried Castelvetrano Olives
    Edith M.

    This was such a fun experience. The theme was the Grinch and it was perfect for December! Our bartender Adrian was super cool and helpful in deciding what to order. I asked for something not high in sugar and he recommended a guava drink that was AMAZING- wish I remembered the name of the drink! And the presentation was soooo cute! Drink was served in a cute little wooden box filled with ice and some baby's breath for decoration! The taste was 10/10! Adrian recommended their fried olives which were shockingly delicious. And I am not a fan of olives but you couldn't tell these were olives you were eating! 9/10 The artichoke and cheese dip with warm pita bread was amazing as well. And both of these appetizers were perfect and filling. The staff is all really nice and friendly- the bartenders are also cool and engaging- which makes the entire experience even better.

    Ally Y.

    I highly recommend the Blind Rabbit it was one of the coolest places I've been. It's slightly difficult to find but that's the fun! The atmosphere feels like peaky blinders and super cute with a piano playing and the drinks are really good and creative. I'd go here for any celebration. And the service is amazing they give great suggestions for drinks there's also non alcoholic beverages too that's are equally as great! Great small speakeasy best one yet!

    The Blind Rabbit Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - The Blind Rabbit

    I made a reservation for tomorrow at 7 but I have not received the confirmation email. Has anyone experienced this issue?

    Is it mainly drinks and small plates or is it a place where we can have a full dinner?

    Awesome full dinner available! As much as I hate the instagramness here sometimes, it's a great place, tasty food and wonderful staff!

    Is there a strict dress code? Can I wear a ball cap?

    Yes you should be able to. I have seen people there in shorts.

    What's the wait list/reservation like? I was looking to reserve for 2 people this week (12/11 actually) but there are no reservations. The table reservation website indicates no reservations for many weeks. Is it just walk in now?

    They do not allow walk ins in the evening only reservations. I believe that you can do walk ins up to 4:00 on weekends but that was a few years ago. And yes it is months out to get in...

    Do you know if they are currently doing the Harry Potter theme?

    It's Beetlejuice this year

    Do they serve mocktails?

    They'll make you just about anything you want

    Do you allow smoking inside?

    No smoking is allowed in or around the whole Packing House area.

    Is the upside down theme going on with stranger things?

    Haven’t heard about any Stranger Things theming, but the Harry Potter one should be in October.

    How fast do you get a response when messaging on any of the social media sites?

    We have an average response rate of 30min for the Yelp Messaging Platform. When reaching out through Instagram we average relatively the same time but can be longer as we prioritize Yelp.

    Is there a cancelation fee?

    You can cancel but you have to give them 23-48 hours notice, I believe. Otherwise, you will get a per person charge. Be sure to read their reservation policy for the exact info.

    What kind of music do they play here?

    Last time I was there, it was Jazz

    Is the Harry Potter theme continuing in January 2024?

    From what I gather, the Harry Potter layover is only in October.

    When do new reservations become available? 30 days ahead of time? A week ahead? At midnight?

    28- days in advance.

    Do they still have the Harry Potter theme for the month of November?

    Nope, it was October only.

    Is this place big enough for 8 people to be comfortable?

    No. They will most likely split your group

    Do I need a reservation or do you accept walk ups?

    They only take walk ins when someone else cancel their reservations. It's best to reserve it two weeks ahead. But if you're in luck and show up right when they open, you'll have a higher chance of getting in without a reservation but no guarantee.… Read more

    Is there live music on friday nights?

    Yes, they do! They have a live pianist singer who does songs from the prohibition period 1920's-30's. My husband and I have seen him a bunch of times!

    Is it difficult to get a seat at the bar without reservations during the weekday?

    What's your phone number? I have reservation already But I would like to add 2 more people

    They don't have one....it says that right in your reservation.....

    Is there an age requirement? I'm 20 and my friend is 21 and we'd like to go to this place!

    Yes, it's a bar so they check ID's for 21+

    We attended a special Chartreuse tasting event at Strong Water which was being held in honor of…read moreChartreuse week and Chartreuse Day 1605 (May 16), the annual celebration of Chartreuse's origins and history. The tasting featured a great lineup of green and yellow Chartreuse paired with small bites. It concluded with a complementary Chartreuse-based cocktail from one of five recipes. Brand ambassador Taylor guided the event and began by telling us about the unique history of Chartreuse. The tasting started out with a small spoonful of Vegetal Elixir Chartreuse to warm up the palate. This is the base spirit of both green and yellow Chartreuse and clocks in at 138 proof. It was surprisingly not harsh, but immediately kicked my salivary glands into overdrive. I didn't even know that vintages of Chartreuse was a thing, but Taylor walked us through tasting three different vintages of both yellow and green Chartreuse, and it was surprising how different they were. The lineup concluded with more rare varietals of the green elixir 1605 and yellow cuvee. Great job, thanks Taylor! Chef Kling presented each small bite which included a crispy Icelandic cod, a roasted beet crostino, and a lamb slider. All of them had a five star list of ingredients and were delicious. Strong Water is known for their excellent cocktails, but their food is also great. For my cocktail at the end of the event, I had the Bar Flower (Green Chartreuse, Crème de Cacao, Pineapple, Lime). This was so good, with the herbal and chocolate flavors perfectly balanced. It was served with a flaming lime half. This was such a great event! Chartreuse retails for around $100 a bottle, and the higher-end varieties cost even more. At just $45 per person, this event was an amazing bargain. Strong Water frequently hosts great events, so keep an eye on their social media for upcoming dates. I really love Chartreuse, so I went back a few days later on the last day of Chartreuse week to try a few of the other limited time cocktails. I started out with their twist on a Grasshopper (Chartreuse, Crème de Menthe, Chili Liqueur, Crème de Cacao, Cream, Cane, $22). This was a great classic Grasshopper, but the Chartreuse added a herbal complexity, and there is a dash of heat on the finish from the chili liqueur. Next I had the Flare Gun (Yellow Chartreuse, Overproof Rum, Italian Bitter, Lime, Cane, $20). The yellow Chartreuse definitely comes through, but it's softer and has a light sweetness, unlike the green variety. Even though it contains overproof rum, it is perfectly balanced and not boozy at all. I usually don't like bitter drinks, but the bitterness was at a perfect light level. I finished off with the Tales from the Black Lagoon which is my favorite drink here, and it's also a favorite of many of the bartenders. All three cocktails were a home run. Chartreuse is an expensive spirit, so those drinks cost a little more than average. Shout out to Karen, Joey, Edgar, Jordan, and Ying for excellent hospitality, as always. Strong Water is our favorite place. We can't wait to go back!

We arrived around 6pm on a Sunday evening and we were bummed that it was packed full inside. We decided to go have a drink upstairs, and then come back down later to see if it was any less busy. There must have been one big group who left because 30 minutes later, it was completely empty inside. There are a few wood tables outside of the entrance and several two seat tables along the outside of the side of the train, but for a first visit we definitely wanted to be inside. When you come inside at BXCR, there are two long green couches along each side that wrap around to the entrance to maximize available space. There are two steamer trunks on each side that serve as tables. We were surprised that all of the tables had a Yahtzee game on them, and we had a blast playing that while we enjoyed our drinks. If you happen to roll a Yahtzee, they give you a candle as a prize. There is good background music playing that fits the environment. There is some good décor with overhead baggage racks and international clocks on one wall, and gauges on the wall next to the bar. There are some small rectangular windows along the top of both sides, and some curtained windows on the right side which do let a little light in. When the main entrance door is opened before its dark outside, it does let quite a bit of light in and kills the ambience temporarily. I would recommend coming closer to or after sunset to not let any outside sunlight interfere with your experience. The drinks are made at the bar in the rear where there are several seats and a little standing room. It wasn't on the current menu, but I saw on a previous menu they had an Amaretto Sour so I started with that, and it did not disappoint. It was nice and frothy from an egg white and had Angostura bitters on top. My girlfriend started with the Calm Cruise which was great. It's basically a Pina Colada, but with an additional honeydew flavor in the background. For number two, I tried the C-League cocktail. The smokiness of Mezcal has grown on me lately if it is not the primary flavor, and in this drink it is at a nice level somewhere in the middle. The cucumber and cilantro are definitely present, along with a little heat from the ancho verde and a little sweetness from the Luxardo maraschino. This is a excellent easy-drinking tequila cocktail. Her number two was the Aviation which she enjoyed. Vince was our main bartender along with Sarah. They were very friendly and fun to chit-chat with while they were mixing up our drinks. This is definitely a cool place to check out, and we will definitely return.

    It was 5 o'clock somewhere lol…read more This bar has prime real estate inside the great, Anaheim packing district. (The Anaheim packing district has private parking and it's easy to find a spot during the week. On the weekend, it's another story) You basically run right into the hammer bar when you enter from the main entrance. It's nothing fancy, gives off hipster vibes and is cool without trying to be cool. The two bartenders Josh and Xavier were amazing I came here around prime lunch time. I went and asked one of the bartenders, since they do not serve food if it was ok to bring some pastries inside and eat them with my drink. (There's a pastry place right next to the hammer bar) They said since it was a weekday and not busy I could bring something in. So I went and grabbed some food and sat there while drinking my drinks. They have bar seating and then they have hightop tables as well I asked them for some recommendations. Josh and Xavier both recommended The zombie (kept warning me that it was extremely strong. So I stayed away from that. Even though I'm confident I could handle it) The banana clip The pool noodle (I told them I needed it to be pretty / cool looking too, lol) I went with the pool noodle -Plantaray Pineapple Rum, Rhum J.M. Agricole, guava, apricot, lime and cava. AND, let me tell you, this was delicious AND looked amazing 10/10 Then I went with the banana clip- Old Forester 100 Proof Bourbon, banana, mandarine, cinnamon, pineapple and lemon. 10/10, I loved it To be honest all the drinks sounded great. If I wasn't planning on going to other places and walking around the packing district, I would have just stayed at this bar and had a few more lol. Prices were extremely reasonable as well The service that Josh and Xavier provided was phenomenal 10/10. They were friendly and knowledgeable. They answered all the questions I had They also have mocktails, beer and wine. I highly recommend coming here for a drink if you are coming to the Anaheim Packing district. Or stay here for a while. I could have definitely stayed longer and tried more. I'll definitely be back next time I am in the area (On the menu it says they offer gift cards. So it would be perfect for any friends that live by this place and appreciate a cool bar)

They were playing some great 90s tunes and watching them make drinks, talk a little shit, and have fun was great to watch! I only had a single beer (local lager that the bartender recommended) as I was waiting for a reservation at another spot, but I'll definitely stop here again the next time I'm in the area.

    When I said "Bar" and "Santa Ana" in the Yelp search - of course it said "Club 616" in the first…read morespot - OF COURSE IT SAID 616!!! I was lucky enough to stumble across this gem of the center of OC when they first opened - and I am proud to be a regular here. I don't know how to go somewhere else - because I feel like the staff are giant gems in this jewel of a spot. Winters is a curator of boozy information that has helped me learn about "gin" and "root beer whiskey" so I can sound like an adult-ish purveyor, when really I know close to nothing except being a willing student to his creations. Dan the Man and Jacob always see me raise my hand in the corner of the bar, like the student I am, and have been willing to fill in the blanks for me when I know I am of thirst, but do not have the words for what to order. Every person working in the well has treated me with kindness - they have taken the time to get to know me, and I will be forever appreciative of how they have taken care of me over the years. But the real joy has been the transformation that this spot has for building a community of people in Santa Ana for real recognizing real. I have been bringing my Dad with me to play pool for the past few years. Sometimes people ask me if he plays professionally, I am terrible, and my skill incline is slow, he is patient and plays with the same level craftiness that the staff offer the cocktails. My Dad is always stoked when we have time to go have a few hours of games at 616 - especially now that there are regulars on 4th street that are excited to see that he is there playing - and they rush to write their names on the chalkboard to challenge him - or beat him in a game they really earned the W. On lazy Sundays, I watch couples sit with their drink, listening to Jazz, and watching my Dad whoop my ass while making amazing shots. I am forever grateful to Memo who sometimes takes a break from his shift behind the bar to give my dad an actual challenge - which allows me the chance to watch my Dad enjoy fellowship around the table. Knowing the table was a relic of the bars former self, and knowing the history that this spot has in Santa Ana is a reminder that so much around us can change - but it is those moments of the crack of the rack, the cheer of getting the combo shot, and the shake of hands when it's over that shows that it's not just about the pool table - but about the energy of a place that is welcoming and curated by people who care about what they do - and care about who comes through their doors. Thank you Jason and Mike B to bringing this to 4th St and supporting the community that was already here - and for building a community for the future. Thank you to Christina and Brandon for always having amazing pictures, decor, and fun events at 616 that help introduce new folks into this great spot. Time is short. Learn about Root Beer Whiskey. Write your name on the Chalk Board. No one lives forever.

    I love the vibe here. It's about the energy and atmosphere for sure. Reminiscent of the bars /…read moreclubs in Baja California or Mexico in general, it's lively with a back patio area and even like a taquero there, at least on weekends.

Lobster bisque was super creamy, delicious. French onion was surprisingly mild, not heavy on the salt, very nice. I got the tenderloin, which was fine.

But I also wanted to be real, and not hype up the experience. To celebrate Disney's 70th, we decided to have a park day and dinner at Club 33. Our reservation was on a Saturday night. The restaurant has moved since the last time I was there, so it took us a few minutes to figure that out. Once arrived, we were greeted warmly and given time to enjoy the courtyard and take photos. We sat on the baloney, facing the rivers of America, and I loved it. It was cozy and felt more intimate than the dining room. The prix fixe 4 course menu was $195, and $295 with wine pairing. Tropical storm (mocktail) - this was not part of the prix fixe. It was very refreshing and yummy The complimentary dinner rolls were amazing. I had to restrain myself from stuffing myself on the rolls. First course: Saffron Tagliatelle Pacific White shrimp - Both dishes were good and had good flavors. Second course: Roasted bone marrow - Very disappointed with this dish, and I love bone marrow. It was served on a bed of salt rocks that were EXTREMELY salty. I had to be super careful when scooping the bone marrow out. If it dropped and touched the salt rocks slightly, it became inedible. It was way way way too salty. Entree: Colorado lamb rack American Wagyu eye of Ribeye - Our server HIGHLY recommended both dishes, and unfortunately both dishes missed the mark. The ribeye was overcooked for medium rare and tough to chew. I had a hard time finishing it. The rack of lamb was okay but lacked flavors. We didn't say anything, because we didn't want to come across as difficult or demanding. Finale: Citrus Cheesecake Pineapple sticky toffee pudding - both desserts were pretty decent. After our dinner, we were told that we could stay and watch Fantasmic from the balcony. We were not rushed to leave which was nice. Overall, 5 stars for the services, ambience and all the charm. Food wise, it was a 3 for me. The experience itself was special and Im truly grateful for it.
