• Cocktail Bar • Downtown Phoenix

Booked 8 times today

BARCOA Agaveria is a basement bar that celebrates the spirits of Mexico. Serving imaginative craft cocktails and a vast list of agave spirits, BARCOA is often described as "vibey," "sexy," and "the time of my life" (says some dude from Mesa). Agave spirits such as tequila, mezcal, bacanora, raicilla, and sotol, are the stars here, available as flights, neat pours, or however you like.Reservations are only available for the basement bar. Please reference the Basement Bar Menu. Above BARCOA, check out the Cantina, a casual back-alley mezcal and tequila bar that serves affordable classic cantina cocktails, and the cheery patio, which features Provecho taco truck. Pop out anytime during your visit and bring food down to the basement. BARCOA can be tricky to find. We're located on the southeast corner of 1st Avenue & Roosevelt, in the historic red brick building. Don't worry, you're not lost. It's just poor directional signage that the City refuses to fix.

Second visit and this place did not disappoint. The food was amazing - the ribeye and the wagyu carpaccio were incredible. I absolutely love the rustic-luxurious feel. Plus the historic touch makes for an excellent vibe for an upscale audience.

We had a lovely dinner, with an unexpected but divine wine pairing. Our main courses were accompanied with several sides served family style, all of them delicious. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. The views of the valley are gorgeous from the dining room and the patio areas are charming and romantic. We had a magical evening. We will definitely be returning.
