Howlin Wolf — Restaurant in Fresno

Stopped by last night it was a group of four of us. The place is beautiful inside from outside I was a little worried because it just looks like a hole in the wall but coming inside the decor and look is super cute. We sat at the bar the place was not too busy and no one came to help us finally we decided to stop a young lady behind the bar, can’t remember her name just that she had two colors in her hair. My husband asked for a gin and tonic she asked us what kind of Gin. The bar didn’t have his preferred gin so he asked for a dry gin she had no idea what to recommend. I hope this is not a bartender I’m guessing she’s just a helper or order taker But I think it would help if your employees know a little bit about recommendations when you don’t have some thing. We then sat at the lounge area no one ever came to ask if we needed anything else we had to go back to the bar ourselves and get more drinks. So, this place is very nice but your employees need some training in customer service. It definitely was not busy at all so there’s no reason why the service couldn’t have been better and also please don’t put people behind the bar that seem to not know much about drinks. It seems like the spot is new so maybe I will give it...

Aesthetically pleasing choice for some drinks. I tagged along with my ex and his coworker for a Friday night out and this place was our 2nd stop of the night. I hadn't heard where we were walking to so when i got inside, i was pleasantly surprised. It reminds me of hotel congress in Tucson (where Dillinger had a firey standoff) but this is glitzier. Although I sat at the bar, the plush chairs and long couch like lounge to the rear of the bar looked so comfy and inviting. The drinks were superb. Their specialty accoutrements looked like an apothecary! Herbs & extracts & specialty touches... My Moscow mule was divine! I unfortunately had to trade it with my ex because his friend got him a vodka tonic and he hates tonic- lucky for me it was superb too! Lots of variation in the crowd, which I appreciated. Live music too. There was a beautiful sweeping staircase with dark red stairs blocked with a velvet rope. I wonder if it's just a staff area or if it's like detention billiards. The visual details are great and could probably serve to keep you occupied during an uncomfortable date- maybe even keep the conversation flowing. There's a nice little private outdoor area off the front of the music side where i was able to vape...

I visited "The Howling Wolf" recently since it just recently opened. Conveniently located next to a B of A atm it was hiding right in front of me in plain sight. Parking lot was pretty full so I parked across Olive st at a dollar store. As I approached I was greeted by the doorman , who checked my I.D. and No Cover Charge. As I walked in the hand tiled entry I found a beautifully designed interior that is like no other. Blues memorabilia mixed with local iconic pictures and artifacts. Each saying it's 1,000 words. Then a racing motorcycle made the clever centerpiece. I ordered an "Ol Fashion" that was perfectly served. Service is pretty fast but took a little bit when it got busier. The Music began with a live band that kept with the blues format. Quickly I noticed how unloud it was. I could talk without telling . Furthermore the sound was excellent.The stage design was art deco done by hand creating the perfect backdrop. I felt like I was in a movie. I found another gem and couldn't wait to share it . Prices are upscale but reasonable considering the ambiance. $10-$13 for a well presented drink. Everything you want for date night or getting together with...
