Dear boiled owl, I came here for Drinks Saturday night. Band was awesome, beer was good except one thing. I tipped for my first two beers and on my third I forgot accidentally. Lead Bartender / owner came and took my beer from my hand and shoved my money back into my hand and I was told “We work for tips. We won’t be serving you anymore.” The beer was poured down the drain.

I didn’t understand what happened so approached the bar to figure it out. I was told “You didn’t tip.”

I proceeded to stiff 5 dollars in the tip jar anyways.

I guess I’m just disappointed. Boiled Owl is a Fort Worth institution and it’s true. You won’t me serving me anymore…… because I won’t be coming back.

When tipping is not a choice is demanded, expected and you will be punished for not doing so…… Welp guess you should have signs that say that so people know.

I hope it was worth it for you.

Went here with some friends on Saturday. Customer service was horrible! Apparently my friends and I were invisible even though we were sitting at the bar trying to get the bartenders’ attention for quite some time. The guy with the dreads is the only one that helped us. Very disappointing experience

Atmosphere is cool, but the bartender Friday night was rude, and they don't have tap to pay...like, what business doesn't have a way to tap to pay in 2025??? Wild. I mean, square plugs into your phone and allows it.

It was more about your bartender being rude af, we would have gone to an atm, but nah. There's plenty of other places to spend my money that aren't patronizing and out of date. I see that's an attitude you embrace as well, so I get it. Anywho, have a day!

I was looking for a good place that could boil my owl I just caught to perfection, and this place came in clutch. They wouldn't cook the owl because they're animal friendly but they served me a drink at a super great price! Super funny and friendly staff. Can't cook your meat, but I'll have a drink there anytime!
