Great atmosphere for a date night or just a low key hang with friends. Dark and moody. Great service. Food was great as the share a kitchen with the Italian restaurant adjacent and serve the same menu. Flat breads, pizza, salads and Italian specialties. Loved this place. Decor was on point. The main entrance is on the back of the building.

This place has a great vibe but man the drinks are terrible…as a former bartender, was almost laughing when the waitress tried to convince me a standard bottle of buffalo trace is a premium bourbon (especially in a $20 old fashioned). Their barrel aged drinks were totally unbalanced as well, just really poor quality cocktails at a premium price.

My husband and I such a great time at the Blue Heron Bar! The vibe was awesome, but the service really made the night. Santino was incredibly friendly and welcoming and honestly made our visit even better. It was my husbands birthday and Santino went above and beyond to make him feel special. You really don’t find service like that much anymore. Can’t wait to come back!

Super cozy atmosphere with great drinks. Also, the full crust menu is available here. Nice and quiet place for a date night.

First time coming here for our work Christmas party and they wouldn’t serve me. Don’t know why.. me & all my coworkers were laughing having a good time and they chose not to serve me. My personality is very outgoing and bubbly and they chose to assume I was drunk. The servers were also very rude and got into it with another person we were with because of the way they treated me. For such crappy workers and atmosphere would never go back nor recommend to anyone. Zero stars if I could
Great atmosphere, great drinks and the meatballs were so good!
Love this place because of the staff. Suede and Chris are awesome. I don’t know the other staff as well but my every interaction has been great. Drinks are great. Food is good. Service is great.

A hidden gem, literally!
The door to the bar is at the back and looks ext like a speakeasy. Staff are friendly and welcoming. There is plenty of seating and the vibes inside are dark and fun. There are herons everywhere you look.
Bathrooms were clean which is always a plus. The drinks were amazing and I recommend ordering one of those cocktails.
I would highly recommend this bar especially if you’re looking for something close by without compromising quality.

What a disappointment! After making a reservation online, I called to ask a question about bringing an outside dessert for a 40th birthday party to find out that the reservation was not actually there. The manager called me back to straighten everything out and confirm our reservation for 10 to 12 people on a Saturday night specifying we would like to sit inside obviously in Arizona. Once we arrived with 10 people we were told that our reservation was for outside. Going to a speakeasy is for the atmosphere - sitting outside on a very muggy hot Arizona evening it’s not the vibe we were hoping for. After speaking to the manager, Stephen, he was unable or unwilling to accommodateus, the only option he gave us was to sit outside or wait 3 hours!! We got outside and the table was not big enough for our party and the fireplace was on and it was 80° with an enclosed patio that was only enclosed on the top so we could see all of the cars and the people walking by on the bottom, definitely not a speakeasy vibe!!!! The manager gave us a gift card and some free appetizers and then never came back to check on our table to see how we were doing. The waitress was great super friendly and super accommodating. The gift card the manager gave us was not able to be used tonight. We will definitely not be going to the Blue Heron again!! What a disappointment for my daughter’s 40th birthday. We were horribly hot, uncomfortable and smashed together at a small table so we could all enjoy each other’s company.
Definitely not a place to have a party or a get together!!

Amazing service, short wait, food and drinks are to die for. I frequent the place and it’s easily one of my favorite places to go to on fridays or weekends for drinks with friends.

This is a cool speak easy in Gilbert. Super cool vibe, amazing drinks and good food. If youre not driven from something on their food menu, you can ask for a Crust menu and get whatever you want there. I will be back.

Everything about place is great. Including the hidden back door entrance. Food is great except the flatbread pizzas and Calamari. Mine came with the crust so hard that I couldn’t bite thru it. Had to use a steak knife to saw into pieces. Also server said Calamari was fresh not frozen, it’s from Frozen. Very rubbery and hard to chew. Great craft cocktails.

Great experience! We went on a Sunday evening so it wasn't really busy at all. It was perfect for a little relaxing date night. Food was great and drinks were even better. Worth checking out for sure. I remember when that whole complex was being built so it's really cool to see everything there.
