went with my friends this past saturday and we had an amazing first time!! our server daniel really tied together the whole experience and he was super attentive our whole dinner. our drinks were strong (in a good way) and all DELICIOUS! the food we ordered included burger and fries, the papas appetizer, and a crème brûlée and they were all hits- super vibrant flavor and beautiful presentation. regret not taking more pictures because the setting was so well decorated and there's a lot to take in. overall amazing vibes that set up a great time for us. highly recommend for future date nights or night out wjth friends!!
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.
The Blind Rabbit is one of the coolest speakeasies I've ever been too. I've had some of the most delicious drinks of my life here -- Each cocktail is hand-crafted with care and expertise. The food is also fantastic. If you love seafood, I highly recommend the scallops The bar is EXTREMELY small, with less than like ten tables plus a few more seats at the bar. So reservations are key if you want to visit, especially during a busy time or one of their specialty themed seasons.
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!
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.
Surprisingly, I've never been to a speakeasy locally (only when traveling!) and this experience genuinely made me feel like I was somewhere far away. The space is hidden and intimate, and once you're inside, it really does feel exclusive in the best way. It adds to the whole experience and makes it feel like a true escape. The food was fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and they were also accommodating with our dietary restrictions, which I really appreciated. Overall, such a fun and memorable night. Definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time -- it's a small space with only 30 spots and fills up quickly.
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
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!
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!!
Our second time at the Blind Rabbit. We loved all our cocktails that Adrian and Amanda prepared. They were all awesome. We had the Papas Bravas and the hamburger and both were delicious. I had to have another absinthe and Adrian helped me select one that i liked. We sat at the bar where we prefer and loved the venue. We look forward to going back for another round of cocktails and eats.
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.
It was kind of hard to make reservations to this restaurant, but once we arrived, it was easy to see why. The restaurant is very small, with only about 7-8 tables, and it has a speakeasy-style concept that creates a unique and intimate atmosphere. I had heard that this place is known for its cocktails, but unfortunately the drinks we ordered were not really to my taste. For food, we tried the crab cake, scallops, steak, and crème brûlée. The crème brûlée was definitely the standout dish of the evening and the most memorable part of the meal. The crab cake, scallops, and steak were decent, but they didn't particularly impress me. Overall, the cozy setting and unique concept make this restaurant worth experiencing, but the food and drinks were a bit hit-or-miss for me.
This place is pretty much reservation only. They have a strict time limit of 90 min. It's located on the bottom floor of Anaheim packing district near roiling boil. There's a random wooden podium where you check in. Once you check in, they take you to their table. Drinks and food take a while to come, but you can soak up the ambiance. The food was ok- what do you really expect from a speakeasy. The tots and fries were great and you can ask for ranch/ketchup to dip outside of the cheese sauce they provide. The mac and cheese was S A L T Y. The drinks were the highlight obviously. Fan favorites were the green beast & champagne problems. If you're not satisfied with the drink you get, they'll make you another on the house! They give you a lil shot if it's your birthday! Vibes were great. Will be back! read more

Such a cool speakeasy in the hustle and bustle of The Packing District. Reservations are a must and you get 90 minutes to be seated. Thankfully I got a booth and I had two drinks during my stay. I had Love You Better which is tequila with pineapple, lime, cucumber and more. Champagne Problems - This sounds pretty and I looked at the ingredients it is everything I like. Gin, lemon, Earl grey, vanilla, lavender & brown butter. Doesn't it sound amazing? The place is very small. They serve food too. I'll have to try it out next time. read more

A really cool speakeasy. Very intimate. The bartender asked what I wanted and I said surprise me. He just asked my likes. He came up with something absolutely epic. And it was clear. It blew my mind. Great staff. Great atmosphere. Can't wait to go back. read more

Get a reservation or show up early because this place is popping! Located in the Anaheim packing district there are plenty of places to grab food and drinks but follow the rabbit. My friend and I were able to snag a spot by showing up right at opening time. We were in town for a conference and didn't know to make a reservation beforehand. We got an hour time limit, which was just fine with us. We ordered the garlic parm fries and esquites. Both were mouth watering! We got to sit at the bar and chat with the bartenders. The lighting was dim but not too dark. Drinks were strong and the vibes were right. Definitely check this place out if you can! read more
This speakeasy is located on the bottom floor of the packing district. Make sure to reserve and everyone in the party is there as they won't sit anyone. It does get quite busy. We had to wait about like 20 mins. The speakeasy gives Harry Potter and great Gatsby vibe. It's very vintage, rustic, and dark inside. It is hard to see. They have many rules like no flash photography and have a time limit. The hostess did kick us out because there was a birthday girl and apparently they prioritized that. But we only got sat down for about an hr. They mostly seat 2-4 party people at the bar. They only had 2 bartender and they are quite busy. I got the conoces a chata. It gives a cinnamon rice pudding flavor. They light the cinnamon stick on fire. I will say they make their drinks really strong because I could only drink a quarter before feeling buzzed. I got the beef tartare, which is roasted bone marrow. There isn't a lot of meat and you will still be hungry. I will say their meals are quite expensive and I don't think it should deserve that high of a price. read more
One of the best places to grab a drink in Anaheim. It's perfect if you are looking for a chill, relaxing, and not crowded bar. The place was giving me Alice in Wonderland vibes. They do require advanced reservations, so make sure you book it in advance. They have an extensive drink and food menu with many seasonal options, so anyone can find something they like. All the drinks I got for this place have been solid. I look forward to return and try more drinks! read more

Overall: 4.7/5 (bar reservation) This is such a cool speakeasy hidden inside Anaheim Packing district. I was reading through the Yelp reviews hoping someone put directions on where to find this place - and god bless his soul - Henry C. noted exactly where to find this bar. We were the last reservation so we didn't want to be late. We went downstairs to the sake barrel wall and waited for someone to check us in. We knew we were in the right place since their menu was on the podium by the wall. The lady who checked us in was very nice (Bri - not sure if I spelled that correctly) took us behind the sake barrel door, seated us at the left corner of the bar, and informed the bartender that we were celebrating our anniversary. It took awhile for the bartender to make us our drinks but we took that time to admire the decor. We love their bar set-up and glassware that they use. Their alcohol was very organized, the garnishes were big & fresh, and the bartenders were quite meticulous in everything they do. Our bartender was named Becca who just has a contagious positive energy. I couldn't stop smiling the entire time we were there. She made us a complimentary drink set for our anniversary. It tasted like Yakult which was shocking since it was not on her listed ingredient list. Waves Know Shores ($17): Wow, this was phenomenal! Beautiful mix of tequila blanco, chile vodka, la luna mezcal, supasawa, cane, & saline. Heard the background story of how this came to be and represented "water" out of the elemental drinks they created. It tasted fresh, clean (filtered), and delicious! We could have just chugged it down like water. Mi Chiquitita ($19): This was one of their more popular drinks with a mix of cacao rum, coconut rum ube syrup, cream of coconut, and lemon. It had a huge pineapple garnish which Becca encouraged us to eat as they make those fresh in-house daily. It was indeed sweet and nice to chew on after the drink. The drink itself was good but doesn't compare to Waves Know Shores. It had a pretty strong nutty flavor and a grainy texture. Becca told us about all the different themes and decor they were planning to do for the upcoming holidays so we definitely need to come back! read more

Shortly after I made my previous review (down below), one of the partners at Blind Rabbit (Josh) reached out to me. He informed me that our previous bartender (Hector) brought to his attention my review and wanted to make things right. Josh arranged for us another reservation at Blind Rabbit. I requested this time to have it at the beginning of December. Even before coming back to the Blind Rabbit I already appreciated the extent of accountability that Hector showed. That represented to me the highest level of professionalism and maturity that I don't see often in the service industry. The night of our pre-arranged reservation we walked into the bar and the new Christmas decorations were wonderful! We went for the Christmas theme two years ago and the decorations had more of a White Christmas theme, especially with the snow decor and floating candles. The decorations this year were different but just as good! This time I felt like I was walking into a fully decorated neighborhood filled with Christmas lights. It shows how much thought and effort the staff puts into the Winter theme every year. We were served at the bar by Frank this time but Hector stopped by to help with the food. I accidentally joked with Hector that our interaction this time was like night and day, but it truly was. Hector had a nice self deprecating sense of humor when he stopped by initially to apologize. He presented us with a shot on the house and joked there was a reason he was now serving food and not at the bar. Hector if you are reading this review, please know we had such a special night out and it was all thanks to you. Keep doing what you are doing. With the hard work and professionalism you showed to make things right, I can tell you will go far in your career with anything you choose to do. Frank was also a wonderful bartender that night and was very attentive. Always checked in and helped us out with drink selections from the cocktail menu. At the end of the night we received our bill and everything was paid for by Josh! We were and still are impressed by the lengths this bar has taken to serve us as customers. This is truly a wonderful establishment. We will continue to make visiting Blind Rabbit a tradition. Thanks again for an amazing night! read more

Always an amazing time at the blind rabbit, love the cozy intimate low light ambience. Always amazing cocktail service, we had the pleasure of being served by Sergio on this evening. We only had a dessert and several cocktails, but the crème brûlée was delicious. By far our favorite cocktail was The Dead Walk, so tropical and delicious with three kinds of rum, and the burning cinnamon stick inside a Viking helmet was an amazing touch! read more

I came here for the Harry Potter overlay in October and honestly expected it to be better than it was since we are HUGE fans of Strong Water (which is the same owner). A part of the table was wet by the wall and my friend and I who were each sitting on the inside kept accidentally putting our phones in the water. (There were no napkins to sop it up yet). My party of 4 ordered shots for 3 of the different HP houses and a curse shot, and our server was great to bring us the 4th house shot complimentary for us so we could have a full set. We made it known we'd be ordering quite a bit of food when we placed our first order of 3 dishes in. The server only brought us 3 plates/napkins/forks and it took FOREVER for her to come back to ask for a 4th set up. I'm glad we didn't order all the food at once since our table could barely fit 3 apps at a time. The same happened when we wanted to place more drinks and another food order. It seems like the server was MIA. My husband found a little nook between our booth and the one behind us to grab more napkins from. The food was hit/miss. Same with the drinks. I'm pretty sure my drink was made wrong since it clearly didn't have a green hue layered effect others had from photos and the menu. Some items seemed under-seasoned while others were outstanding. I'll definitely come back during a normal night and see how it is. read more

The food was delicious! Fish n chips were much more delicious than anywhere else and so was the tartar sauce. Potato cakes were a bit bland. Ordered a strawberry mojito mocktail and it was just as yummy as I expected it to be. The bartenders can make almost anything that's not on the menu. However, they cannot make anything on the menu into a mocktail. It was cozy inside the speakeasy but the seats were old and cracked so I wish the seating arrangements were nicer. It's amazing that they have food available here (delicious too) because I went to a different speakeasy recently but there was no food at all! read more

I came here with my best friend after reading great reviews, but we left feeling deeply disappointed and unwelcome. When we arrived, we didn't see a host, so we stepped inside--only to be abruptly told by the bartender to wait outside. The hostess eventually appeared and greeted us with an unfriendly attitude. Although we were dressed nicely and respectfully, she gave us a rushed explanation of the rules and told us we could stay until 8 PM due to upcoming reservations. We had just eaten elsewhere and simply wanted to try their well-known drinks. It seemed like that annoyed her. Despite the place being nearly empty at 7 PM, she seated us at the worst spot at the bar. We weren't loud, drunk, or bothering anyone--we were simply sitting, enjoying our drinks, and chatting quietly. Still, before 7:30, the bill was brought to us without us asking, and it felt like we were being subtly rushed out. When I reminded her she had said we could stay until 8 PM, she brushed it off, saying they had reservations. The whole experience felt not just rude, but discriminatory. I've never been treated like that in an establishment before. If you're a person of color or from a diverse background, just be mindful. It's disappointing that in 2025, places like this still operate with that kind of energy. read more
Took about 2.5 weeks to get a desired reservation but it was well worth the wait. (Due to the popularity of this establishment, that's to be expected when wanting to nab a weekend night slot). Anywho's... let's carry on. The hostess, bartender, and servers were all great. They are all uniquely talented at their craft and pull out all the stops to create an experience for you. I tasted a handful of drinks during my first visit. Some included: Tren Al Sur I Knew You Were Trouble Sailing Before the Wind If you are looking for a stiff drink like myself, then this is your spot. Otherwise, be mindful when ordering. Parking: shared lot with packing district, some street parking if available, and/or valet Ambiance: dark, moody, intimate Tip: read establishment rules prior to visiting read more

Great speakeasy. Intimate feel and great atmosphere. We only had an appetizer, but it was delicious. Drinks were all excellent and the bar staff, Sergio and Frank, were some of the best I've encountered. A great spot and will be back. read more

Came here last night after wanting to try this place for years. Last month I finally was able to snag a reservation. This place is very hidden and I really wouldn't have been able to find it if my friend didn't find it first. When you first go you check in with a hostess and walk through the bookshelf. Then you get seated and you get 90 minutes. When you go in there is a piano player and it is dark and relaxed feeling. We ordered steak frites, ceviche, crab cake, duck Mac and cheese, and corn squire. I thought jt everything was done really well and deliciously except the crab cakes which were just ok but the salad the crab cakes came with was great. read more

Ambiance is intimate. Place is cozy, often packed. Not advisable for large groups or couples looking for privacy. But the drinks, the decor, the service - wow. It was our first time and definitely not going to be the last. We were sat at the bar and got to experience the bartenders' magic. All so skilled and knowledgeable about their craft. The pianist was a delightful bonus. If you want to have a good experience with an even better cocktail - please go here. Literally a hidden gem. Took us a while to find the entrance! read more
Managed to grab last-minute reservations the day before given a cancellation (tip: they have 24h cancellation policy otherwise it's a 25$ charge, so you may manage to get a spot for next day if you're lucky and looking just right at that 25-26h mark before) It was a surprise Harry Potter theme and that was so awesome! Service is 5 stars. Theme is 5 stars. But I'd have to rate this place 4-4.5 stars given the quality or the drinks to price. It's FUN and pretty decent, but I think for the reputation this place has, I want to be blown away by the drink and don't think I was from any of the 3 drinks+house shots we had. They did this fun theme, with the hat sorting and house shots dedicated to each of the 4 Harry Potter houses (each diff flavored, each $10). I had the Slytherin one and it tasted like mint toothpaste ; my boyfriend had Gryffindor and he liked it, forgot what his was. What we got: the skull tiki like drink, their take on the old fashioned, and one of the HP theme drinks (the green one) - skull tiki like drink was the best - other drinks were just ok. Sort of sad. - we split a burger and it was a tad overdone (was not asked how to get it cooked, but that's ok since it was a bar). Flavor was decent, just overdone a bit. come for the theme, the vibe (super fun, good for dates/groups), the service (exceptionally sweet). Maybe we had an off day, but didn't quite hit the spot for me for drinks read more
The blind Rabbit is in the packing district. Make reservations as it gets booked up. However it never hurts to ask if they can fit you in due to cancellation. It's for smaller parties only and a great date place. The service is excellent and the speakeasy concept is spot on. The drinks are crafted well and presented beautifully. We got the garlic fries to snack on and they were actually very delicious. My fav drink was The pinch of gold. However ever drink we tried was so good as I think the make seasonal drinks as well. Service is quick when your time is up so beware of time. But it is a fun experience overall and totally worth it. Great company plus an hour here and you will have a great time for sure. read more

I haven't been to The Blind Rabbit since before Covid so I wanted to see if the drinks were still excellent. The reservation process was easy and it wasn't as hard to secure a reservation as before, which is a good thing. I ordered the Tren Al Sur and my friend ordered the I Knew You Were Trouble. Both drinks were well balanced and well made. I preferred mine as I'm a big fan of La Luna Mezcal. The bartender informed me that particular Mezcal was made specifically for The Blind Rabbit. I recall the bartender saying it was infused with Rabbit breast. Unique and interesting for sure. We were offered two samples to taste and it was pretty smooth. Back to my drink, it was well balanced and anytime you there is milk punch, I have to try it. It did not disappoint and neither did the Blind Rabbit. It was good to see the drinks and experience here is still good. Cheers! read more
My new favorite spot. This tiny speakeasy is a gem. For the Harry Potter fans it is very Harry Potteresque and cool. We made reservations which are required by the way. You are limited to 90 minutes inside, which is hard, this would be a great spot to settle in and spend a few hours trying the different craft cocktails. We were seated at a two top table, and settled in with Georgina as our friendly and fun server. We scoured the menu and settled on a shot and our drinks. Mr. B ordered a Kamikaze shot, and I went with the Midori Sour. They were delicious and not to strong. Then it was on to an Old Fashioned for Mr. B and a Cosmo for me. Drinks were delicious. Now on to food. It was scrumptious! We started with the Potato Cakes based on Georgina's recommendation and they were small smashed red potatoes, battered and fried and served with a tangy aioli dipping sauce. They were sprinkled with Parmesan and were crunchy and delicious. Mr. B went with the Crab Cake meal which came with a crispy and crunchy salad. The crab cakes were delicious, light and not heavy or greasy. He was a happy camper. I opted for one of the Chef's Specials and went with the Short Rib Gyoza. OMG....pure heaven. The gyoza were soft, steamed and filled with tender and rich shredded short rib. Served over an Asian sauce and sesame seeds. They were perfect. I still think of that dish and won't soon forget it. This little spot is awesome and I can't wait to go back. From the service to the drinks and food, it was a fun, and unique experience. The photos I attached are dark with a blue tint due to the lighting. Night Shot didn't help either. It is dark and moody inside and no flash photography is allowed. read more

I have been wanting to go here for a while and I am so finally made it.I was able to schedule a reservation for 7/16/2023 for a table for four via Yelp. The process is fast and easy. The staff was friendly, attentive, and patient. I went with my partner and their parents. My partner's mom and I ordered Mi Chiquitita and she loved it so much that she ordered another one. It was sweet, creamy, and not a weak drink. I loved how aesthetically pleasing it was as well as the interior of the spot and the other drinks I posted. 5/5 if you like a drink that's sweet, creamy, and has a punch. My partner ordered a whiskey type of drink and they loved it. 5/5 My partner's father had a special drink made by the mixologist and he was very happy with his drink. I took a few sips and it it was a great drink. I'm not sure what it was called but this drink was refreshing and not overwhelmingly sweet which was perfect for him. I also had Prince of a Thousand Enemies and that mug is a Viking skull and looked intruiging. It is not a drink for those of faint of heart(lightweights) or that don't like their drinks strong. I prefer my drinks on the sweeter side but the drink was good enough for me to finish. My partner had a sip and they rated it a 5/5 and I give it a 4.5/5. For food starters, we ordered the garlic & Parmesan tater tots, Esquite, fries, and another potatoe dish. The garlic parmesan tater tots were the bomb 10/5 The esquite was surprisingly delicious. It was so savory and all the flavors worked perfectly together. 10/5 The fries were good and my partner's dad finished them which he scored then 5/5 & I score them 4/5 The other potato dish was good with a good amount of seasoning and a tad oily. 4.5/5 The ambiance made me feel as though I was in prohibition which is the effect they aim for(beautifully executed) Bravo. The decor, lighting, positive vibes, and music were stunning and customer service was superb. The staff as mentioned earlier were attentive and friendly, and made the experience a great one because we all know customer service is of the utmost importance. I highly recommend this spot and if you do let me know what you think and if you tried the bomb food that I mention here. read more

very heavy on alcohol encouragement although we told them we were there just for lunch and don't drink. It was my sons birthday and they said they would give him a free shot but that was it. Since he doesn't drink you'd think they'd at least have a cookie or something but that's ok. Super hard to find it is hidden in the middle of a very busy multi venue indoor restaurant mall that has extremely bad parking situation but other than that i loved the secret quiet get away inside it is moody and nice for a getaway and it was hot outside but had nice air conditioning. read more

Several weeks ago a group of 4 us went to the Blind Rabbit. The decor was amazing. Best of all was our server Sergio. He was extremely polite and patient. He gave a great recommendations and made sure our visit was excellent. Ask for him and you won't be disappointed. I hate visiting restaurants with poor service but the Blind Rabbit is a good one.. read more
We were fortunate enough to get a last minute reservation last Saturday for The Blind Rabbit. I'd recommend making reservations ahead of time, especially for a Saturday. Our reservation was at noon, when they first opened, and we were the first ones into the establishment that day. The greeting that we got once inside was friendly and welcoming. Yes, the ambiance is dark, but the lighting is warm, and it feels like a true speakeasy. Once you enter, you forget you're in an establishment within the Anaheim Packing House. The drinks we got were amazing. For afternoon cocktails, they didn't skimp on the alcohol. I got Becoming the Memory, while the rest of my party had the Lonely Day and the New Boot Goofin'. Everybody was impressed the flavors and enjoyed their drinks. We were hungry and decided to try their food, so we ordered the Short Rib, Steak Frites, Short Rib Gyoza, and fried olives. The food was surprisingly delicious! I don't think I'd get the fried olives again, though, because the olives didn't have a strong flavor. It was a good, quick pop in your mouth kind of snack while drinking though. Overall, it was great to try the food there because we've didn't do so the first time we visited The Blind Rabbit. However, it's very pricey, so next time I think we'll eat somewhere in the Packing House and then have drinks only at The Blind Rabbit. Service 5 out of 5 Ambiance 5 out of 5 Food 5 out of 5 We'll be back again! read more

I feel like this place hasn't ever bounced back to pre pandemic quality, or perhaps it's because they've changed ownership since then, but their cocktails aren't quite as good anymore. My friend and I both ordered 2 cocktails each and they weren't quite as good as they used to be. Our first round was either too spirit-forward or too sweet-forward, our second round was then too watery and too bitters forward: a well balanced cocktail was not had. With that said, their food was actually really good still. I had a mac and cheese dish that was really flavorful and had a good cheese pull. The service was fine enough. We were seated at the bar and the bartender never checked up on us, but that's completely understandable as she was also the one making the drinks, so I can't fault her on that. Of course, the ambience will always be great. The novelty of walking through whiskey barrels into a hidden bar will still always be there and the dim lighting does always set the tone for the roaring twenties. Overall: I'm not sure I would recommend it to repeat visitors (especially if you remember pre-pandemic quality), but it's still a really cool place to go! read more

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 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.
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.....
