The restaurant is named after an interesting tradition. During prohibition, restaurants would often leave small toy animals (often tigers) on the tables to indicate that there were back rooms where you could get a drink and gamble. The tiger would turn a blind eye on this behavior, and so these restaurants became known as blind tigers.
