Best Cocktail Bars in Central Phoenix

In town for a couple weeks and kept seeing how busy this place was, reviews looked up our alley, so we made a reservation for 8. We arrived early, 4 of us had drinks at the bar, live music was on point, and bar service was quick and well made cocktails. We were sat outside, with the heaters on low it was perfect, but a little loud (the live music was being fed via speakers), we asked and they adjusted them. The waitress was on her game, did fantastic. We had the pretzel / fondue app, and we devoured 2 sets of them. All of us were happy about our food, extremely tasty and well proportioned, except one that just wasn’t good, like maybe hit the heat lamps a bit. A couple of us tried his steak/frittes annd agreed it was not it…. So he started eating off everyone else since it was all good. The waitress offered to remake it fresh when she noticed and we said nah, he had food from everyone and was good. So she offered to take it off the meal (there was maybe 1 - 1 1/2 slices of steak gone and nearly no fries gone). We said that would be appreciated and thanks, and no worries everyone was good. The chef came out then and said he’d fire a new one and we could take it home even if he was fed now, we told him it was really not required/ needed. He then offered dessert, so we took him up on the desert and of course we all ate that up something fierce!!! When the bill came he had removed the steak meal, gave us free desserts and comp’d the apps. That was WAY more then I expected and service showing me how much some people want things to go right. Definitely made me say I’ll be back, and made for a 5 star review.

First time dining here - it was wonderful! The service, cocktails, apps and mains were on point! Tommy biscuits are to die for! So good! The restaurant has a cool vibe to it - the cherry on top is that the restaurant is Anthony Bourdain inspired. We’ll def be back!

We had super fun and delicious birthday dinner! Wife has the sea bass and I had the mussels! Both were delicious. Thank you Logan for being a great server. Especially loved his humor when I said, “ I’ve had mussel from all over the world and he quickly replied….we just get ours right out of the canal”. Anyway, great food, service and fun. We will be back soon.

Our server, Sebastian, was awesome. We had some special needs and he was thorough in making them happen. Food was great and the restaurant is always relaxing. Would prefer to have the music a bit lower to facilitate conversation at the table.

We like the breakfast/brunch very much! Dinner not so. At least in for our dinner, more than 2 times our food was ok. But breakfast, coffee and pastry are really good! Service is always good, too.
