“Great place to mellow out after a long day. It's located inside one of the best resorts in the area. The bar staff are very knowledgeable and accommodating. The food menu is limited at the bar, but the available items are enough to fill you up. The views in the bar area are wonderful. There's indoor and outdoor seating.“

“Platform 18 is a must visit! The atmosphere is so cool and they regularly change where the train is. We were there during 1920s New York. The cocktails were inventive and delicious. Especially the one inspired by a Shepards Pie. Our conductor, Lily, was fabulous and really made our experience special! I can't wait to come back!“

“I visited Pretty Penny for the first time last night, and it is hands down the best dining experience I have had in a very long time. From our first step inside, we were not only greeted, but we were made welcome by Ivan and Jake. The attention to detail from table setting, to the thoughtfully laid out menu, and the high level of service were truly staggering and very appreciated. The food and cocktails are exceptional, and the team made us feel like we had been coming there for years. Again, Ivan and Jake's hospitality was second to none, and I am very grateful for the fabulous and memorable experience they created for us. We will be back. Thank you all!“

“This spot features amazing craft cocktails. We enjoyed a wonderful Tom and Jerry, a traditional Christmas-time warm eggnog and cognac drink.
Jonah, our knowledgeable and entertaining Bartender, made happy hour a truly festive time together.
The wood bar is stocked with an impressive selection of quality spirits. But the discovery of new and revisiting old favorites made this bar experience very special.“

“We enjoyed our visit to this dark, cool vibey bar. Our server helped us choose drinks that matched our taste preferences. Loved Goose Chase and Down in Kokomo. Perfect date-night spot. The only knock was the noise from the street traffic outside. Otherwise, I highly recommend Highball if you are looking for a chill, creative cocktail bar.“

“Great time always with amazing drinks and service.“

“Small but busy bar with amazing drinks and great food. Atmosphere is nice and chill.“

“Nico… saved my belief in humanity! The drinks were insatiable! Kvissy… is a freaking magician. The drinks will cast spells of splendor causing a euphoric experience where even the most unbearable will become bearable and those loved will become omnipotent.

Remarkable…“

“Had a great time coming in for a few drinks with my friends. We came to celebrate my birthday since I’d been wanting to try this bar and the drinks did no disappoint! We tried a lot of different cocktails and most were super good. When we arrived, we were also welcomed with a free sip drink that was so good. Our server also brought me a birthday shot later in the night with a candle so my friends could sing happy birthday. Overall the drinks were very good and the service was awesome. The location is also great, we enjoyed drinking in the Cave. Overall, had a great experience at this bar and would definitely come back. It’s such a fun cocktail experience for when you want to try drinks that are creative and different. Plus they are all so pretty!“

“Great atmosphere! Super friendly staff & experienced bartenders at all of the establishments in the food court.“

“Everything was phenomenal—from the service to the ambiance to the table side Beef Wellington Service. You can't go wrong here. Be sure to also book at the Trophy Room speakeasy (inside the restaurant) to round out the night with fun and tastey cocktails in a cool back-room speakeasy-style lounge.“

“Fabulous bar. Great vibe, delicious drinks, incredible service. Our server, Ryan, was attentive and an overall great human and another server even checked on us like we were her guests. Love this place. Can’t wait to try every cocktail on the menu. Highly recommend the Big City Nights. Photo included for badassery.“

“we love the Womacks atmosphere which depending on the day can be very diverse - great cocktail menu along with classics. we enjoy the bar snacks too and the staff is exceptional! they have a variety of live and DJ entertainment as well“

“Sunnys just opened in September in 2023 and they are owned by Barter and Shake, the same owners as the renowned upscale themed bars at Century Grand. That means the drinks at Sunny's are AMAZING but at more affordable prices and for walk-in customers. They have done a lot with a small space to create a bar experience that feels like a well-kept secret, but this location needs to get more attention!!! Megan our bartender was so sweet, you can tell she loves her job and we felt like family. They offer an extensive list of craft cocktails but will also make you a vodka redbull or toss you a beer if that is what you are looking for. No food yet, but they are working to partner with some food trucks as they continue building the business.“

“Great beers and great Vibe“

“Great food. Nice and quiet atmosphere. We tried several drinks The Dice the mezcal was a little too smoky. I didn’t like the Saguaro. See you in Mexico was delicious and The Butterfly.“

“Although I’m not from Arizona, nor from the U.S., every time I come to this bar (I’ve been here more than ten times since I live closer), the people and bartenders treat me wonderfully. Shout out to Amanda for her great smile and excellent customer service. The drinks and food are fantastic. 100% recommended.“

“Caring owner and staff. Wonderful food.“

“I know there are a lot of good restaurants in Scottsdale, but this place is delicious! Food is creative and delicious--definitely lots of unique dishes to try from. The drinks are also delicious and its a fun atmosphere. We went here for a double date and we all had a great time!“

“Fabulous dinner - great food and wonderful people - everything was spectacular - A Brooklyn boy eating good Italian food in Arizona“

“Cocktails were great. Food was good. Overall experience was awesome.“

“Great place for drink and dinner, very professional people!“

“Hosted a private event and couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We’ve been in a few times before so we knew the food and drinks would be great but the team went above and beyond to make the party special! If you want a fun way to celebrate a birthday, engagement, or and special events. This is the spot to do it!!“

“Great place to relax and eat by the pool! We ordered the guac and salsa trio and split a grilled chicken sandwich. I also had a Corona. John was our waiter and was very kind. They even brought us two half servings of the sandwich since we were splitting it. Of course, this restaurant is in a very overpriced resort and the menu prices are pretty high. Overall, a nice experience though. And the views are great!“

“Everything, the place is great !!!“

“Recently discovered this little gem and I couldn't be happier !
The food is surprisingly amazing ! Like really, really good. The service is top notch, always friendly, always helpful. And as far as atmosphere, the energy here is awesome, good vibes all around !“

“Very fun evening with excellent drinks“

“Love the look of the so far so good bar! It’s in this art district of Phoenix Arizona nestled in this collective of foods and shops called the Churchill, so far so good is dead center and has such a great vibe. The drinks are average price for the area and on point! Bartenders are friendly and love what they do. Jolene got the pink panther drink it just got out back on the menu and it was a frozen, fruity blissful pick me up after a hot day in the sun! Go get one“

“Stopped in for a quick drink after some bowling with friends and this was a very nice spot pretty spacious very clean and service was pretty fast. My only complaint is that this business is strictly money only they do not take any cards but they do have a ATM on site.“

“First I'd like to point out the food is fantastic, but my service was very off-putting. I came in town to visit friends and we decided to come to Richardson's because we love the food. My friend and I were seated, we ordered our food, and had some water while we waited. Close to 20min or so after, my friend asked our waiter Trey if we could get an estimated time on our food. Trey seemed annoyed and responded "I put the order in ladies, I don't know what else you want me to do"...wait, what?! We were clearly upset at his response because it was rude and uncalled for. I'm not sure if he sensed the vibe afterwards but he shortly came back with an estimated time which should have been his first response. He barely checked on us while making sure to stay on top of his other tables. That was very upsetting to me considering I flew in from another state, and it's tradition for my friend and I to eat here when I come in town. This experience has made me reconsider where our new traditional spot will be.“

“BEST BAR IN THE CITY! The Boom Boom Room is for the GROWN and SEXY Crowd. Fellas its some beautiful women in here. Go check it out. Drinks are fundamental as well.!!“

“We found out about this bar sort of by accident after dining at Valentine's. When we went in it was early so we were the only ones in the place, very cool vibe, with Miles Davis playing. Alyssa (sp?) came right to our table and gave us a full rundown on the drinks and helped w/recommendations. The drinks were fantastic, interesting blend of flavors and textures. We will be back! Great experince!“

“This place is amazing. The staff is doing an amazing job under the new owners. congratulations and continued blessings“

“Love this place. Amazing staff, food & drinks. Marie & Alex always are on top of everything & so friendly. Definitely recommend Lookout Tavern to anyone & everyone.“

“I just spent my first time going to Ocean 44 and I must say, this is one of the best restaurants I had ever been to. When I took my wife there they really took care of us. Any questions we had about the menu they made sure they walked us through the whole menu so knew how everything works. They took care of us just as good as being at a life loan Doctors office. I definitely recommend this place and especially to take your date to.“

“Without a doubt one of the best Mexican Restaurants in Phoenix. A very different style from typical Sonoran Mexican food. Great Monday drink specials and very friendly attentive staff. Food came out hot with a lovely presentation. Definitely a higher end style of Mexican food!!

Kid-friendliness: We took our 2 year old and shared our food with her and she enjoyed every bit!“

“Everything is 5 star for sure. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars for all the categories is because I didn't eat the food, so I couldn't rate it here. But I gave it 5 stars for all the other categories. Great place for a friendly game of pool, and the bartender was absolutely amazing and very attentive. Best bartender I've ever had!!“

“Best salads and breakfasts! Great Ramen nights!“

“Great food and service. Innovative beverages, excellent wine list. Definitely recommend.“

“great views, fun funky decor, great place for cocktails and food“

“Kellie “the bartender” (female) could be a lot more welcoming and engaging. She walked in to attend the bar about 4 minutes after i walked in and sat down at the bar, to actually tend. Then she walks by me and tends to someone else who showed up after me. I'm sorry, but if you are a bartended, YOU should scope the landscape and see who is new, and handle that business first. KTIM. Ill be back friday to see how she improves.
No joke, i’ve been here for 45 min and its been 30 since i paid for my MODELO, and she hasnt taken my signed check, which she has seen and walked by at least 4/5 times….. not to mention she had time to be on her personal phone in the time i have been here.
Women shouldnt be at a gay bar, in my honest opinion. This is why. No attention to detail and clearly have pent up interpersonal feelings.
Update…1110pm 12/24/24 she finally took the receipt🤣😂😂“

“Great place to be. Awesome hockey games.“

“Ashton was amazing! As a server assistant he went above and beyond and I am appalled to hear he is not a server. The attentiveness of himself and the rest of the staff made all of the difference. Ashton is the reason I’ll return. Great service and wonderful atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend!!!“

“We were very impressed by our experience here, definitely some of the best food in the valley by far! We tried pretty much everything on the menu and loved it all! It was a treat to have chef Nobuo Fukuda stop by our table to explain some of the dishes himself, his passion really shines through! The vibe is cool & retro… we will definitely return with more friends!“

“I had such a great birthday party here! The person that helped with reservations was clear and concise. The food was amazing! It was a great night 😆“

“We sat at the bar and the bartenders, Zach and Naomi, were extremely attentive. Didn't skip a beat when our drinks were low or removing dishes for us. Our drinks were fantastic. The food was impeccable and all sent out evenly spaced so we could enjoy each course. We had the lobster escargot for an app and I recommend taking them out of the tray and set on plate because they are so hot. Excellent flavors though. The oysters were amazing and the tray of condiments were a delight. We shared the filet and it was cooked medium rare to perfection. Oh and the butter cake is a must for dessert! We look forward to coming back again and again.“

“Love love love! Beautiful atmosphere, great service and fantastic food!“
