How hard is it to get a table at Wolfsbane?
24% of the open slots recorded at Wolfsbane fall between 7:00 and 8:30 PM, out of 430,093 observed, so prime time genuinely does surface here.
The times we see open run from 5:30 PM to 9:15 PM, and the single slot that opens most often is 8:45 PM.
We have never once seen a Sunday or a Monday come open, which usually means Wolfsbane is closed then rather than simply full.
Tuesdays are the softest night on this calendar, open 100% of the times we checked, against 74% on Thursdays. Moving your plan by one weekday is often worth more than moving it by a month.

What is the best way to book Wolfsbane?
- Check what is open at Wolfsbane right now. Start from the live calendar on this page rather than from OpenTable. It shows every date in the 30-day window with its current status, so you can see at a glance whether anything is bookable before you spend time on the platform.
- Aim at a Tuesday. Tuesdays are the softest night on Wolfsbane's calendar in our data, open 100% of the times we checked, against 74% on Thursdays. Shifting the day is usually worth more than shifting the month.
- Widen your time to include 8:45 PM. 8:45 PM is the slot that opens most often at Wolfsbane. The full range we see open runs 5:30 PM to 9:15 PM.
- Set an alert instead of refreshing. On OpenTable each restaurant sets its own booking window, and what moves inside it is the near term, as people cancel and rebook. Cancellations arrive on no schedule at all, which is why refreshing by hand does not work. Star Wolfsbane on SnagRes and you get an alert the moment a table appears, with a link straight to OpenTable.

- What is the best party size to book Wolfsbane?
- Two and four sit close together at Wolfsbane in our data, 70% of the window open for two against 70% for four, a gap too small to plan around, so party size is not the lever here. Shifting the night or the seating time moves availability more.
- Is Wolfsbane open on Sunday?
- We have never recorded an open table at Wolfsbane on a Sunday or a Monday, which normally indicates a closing day rather than a full book.
- What time do Wolfsbane reservations open?
- Wolfsbane releases reservations on the 15th of the month for the following two months, at 12:00 AM. On OpenTable each restaurant sets its own booking window, and what moves inside it is the near term, as people cancel and rebook. SnagRes also rechecks throughout the day for cancellations and off-schedule drops.
- How far ahead does Wolfsbane release tables?
- Wolfsbane releases reservations on the 15th of the month for the following two months, at 12:00 AM. A new date appears at the far edge of that window each cycle, and cancellations can surface at any point in between.
- Which booking platform does Wolfsbane use?
- Wolfsbane takes reservations on OpenTable. On OpenTable each restaurant sets its own booking window, and what moves inside it is the near term, as people cancel and rebook. SnagRes rechecks OpenTable for Wolfsbane throughout the day and alerts you when a table opens.
- Can you walk in at Wolfsbane?
- SnagRes tracks reservations rather than walk-ins, so we cannot see a live bar or counter count at Wolfsbane. Many rooms do hold a few seats for walk-ins, often early or at the bar, so it is worth calling ahead. If you would rather lock in a table, star Wolfsbane and we will alert you the moment a reservation opens.
- Is using a reservation alert legal?
- Yes. SnagRes only notifies you when a table opens; the booking itself is an ordinary reservation you make yourself on OpenTable, under your own name. It does not resell tables, run bots to hold them, or automate the booking, so it does not cross the lines a resale or auto-booking service does.
- Does SnagRes book Wolfsbane for me?
- No. SnagRes tells you the moment a table opens at Wolfsbane and links you straight to OpenTable with the date prefilled, then you complete the reservation yourself. It never logs into your account and never books on your behalf, which is what keeps your account in good standing.
