Party Earth Review: Hip patrons in need of a haircut and a drink should head to The Blind Barber, an old-school barbershop that transforms into an exclusive speakeasy by night. Although clients who opt for an afternoon straight-razor shave at the tiny whitewashed shop will be treated to a complimentary drink, the real scene happens once the barber puts down his scissors for the night and the shop becomes the entrance to a sultry 1920s-inspired drinking lair. Shaped like a top hat, the venue consists of two small nooks on either side of a dark wood bar, where affluent hipsters and young professionals gather in the amber glow for specialty cocktails and conversation. Sepia walls, vintage photos, and candlelight create a warm atmosphere for the creative types lounging on velvet settees and leather banquettes, while a cozy back nook known as Grandpa’s Den offers a bit of privacy for new acquaintances. Mellow and relaxing in the early evenings, the vibe gets progressively rowdy later on when popular local DJs spin everything from doo-wop to indie tunes. The door can be too picky and the crowd too self-consciously hip, but Blind Barber is still a hotspot for trendy singles looking to mingle with their own.

The Blind Barber Review

Tip from Jonah:

“Stop into the barber shop when you get a chance – not only will you get a cool cut, but also a free drink, like the aptly named ‘Sweeney Todd.’”
