11 Best Cocktail Bars near Carefree

“We held our wedding and reception at Keeler's in October and it was an amazing experience! The staff were very accommodating and worked with us to move our event inside due to the rain. Our guests loved the food and drinks. The Agave Swave was a hit along with the Old Fashioned. The atmosphere was perfect and everyone chit chatted around the bar while we had live music and dancing. We can't recommend Keeler's enough! Big shout out to Julia Fox and Sonny for coordinating and making our day perfect!“

“come specifically for my favorite pizza: the Delicata with its prosciutto, arugula and shaved parmigiano. The Italian owners know the value of imported Italian ingredients. Their well fired pizza crust is thin with a light crunch but sturdy enough to support toppings without collapsing. Their small, rectangle pizza provides 6 slices which is perfect for my husband and I along with their Farmers Market salad. Wonderful outdoor patio within an amazing, large courtyard. A very popular restaurant. Highly recommend reservations.“

“Very nice restaurant. Very clean and inviting. Staff is fantastic. The food was delicious and fresh. The menu leans towards vegetarian/veggie forward but have a few meat options. Went twice as it was connected to the resort we were staying at. Enjoyed everything we ordered“

“The restaurant offers a wide variety of delicious food. We really enjoyed the burger and fries and the sea bass ceviche, but everything was wonderful…especially for a poolside restaurant (it’s rare to find one that offers good, fresh sushi options!). And the drinks were delicious.

Ricardo delivered our food and he was completely lovely, attentive, and professional (I wish he was our server!).

Blake/Drake (?) the pool attendant was wonderful - very pleasant and helpful.“

“Nana had the kids, so we stepped out for an after work cocktail date night. Twenty6 lounge is the bar in the lower lobby of @jwdesertridge and is a casual spot for resort guests, or a couple on a mini date night.

We each enjoyed a couple of drinks while chatting about life. Sitting at the bar was quick service and quiet, but you can also relax in a plush patio chair out in the courtyard. Next time, we will plan better and be sure to play some arcade games in the new space before it closes at 9!“

“We had a wonderful Sunday Brunch. The French toast and breakfast burrito were super. Someone in our party said the chicken fried chicken was the best she'd ever had. Service was friendly and efficient. Nicely done. we'll be back soon.“

“Beautiful place and amazing dishes and Cocktails are truly the best! 5 star ⭐️“

“I recently dined at Ofenda Mexican Grill, and it was great from start to finish! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. The service was top-notch; our server was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Even during a busy evening, we never felt rushed.
Overall, a 5-star experience! If you’re craving authentic Mexican flavors in a fun setting, Ofrenda is a must-visit.“

“Kembara is a restaurant full of elevated Asian street food, one dish after the other was the next best thing we've tasted. The flavors are divine! It is hard to put the explosion of flavors your palate tastes into words that would do justice to what we experienced with each bite but let me tell you, I can't wait to go back. Special thanks to Chef Angelo Sosa and Penny Tagliarina. We were fortunate enough to meet both of them and tour the kitchen, fan girl'd out to say the least. These humble humans are so kind and their passion for creating exquisite food and drinks has been knocked out of the park. They exude pride in what they do, and they do it well! The food and drinks are visually stunning, along with the atmosphere. We all enjoyed your delicious food Chef's (especially the Tuna Thai Jewel soup, Chicken Satay skewers, Low mein noodles, Fried Crab rice, and the Steamed Pork Dumplings, but let's not forget the epic drinks. The drink list is so unique we tried a few but hands down the winner tonight was called Joy Luck Club: it had Angel's Envy Bourbon, Pusser's Rum, Coconut Milk, and Yuzu. Chef Angelo rounded our evening out by sending over sake, I must say it was the best sake I've ever tasted) and the evening was everything we hoped it would be. Our server Megan went above and beyond by delivering an experience that matched no other. Her knowledge of the menu, drinks, creation of the meals, and restaurant makes her a true gem to this team. Thank you, Chefs, this is the epitome of a chef-kiss restaurant! Cheers to you and your continued success.“
