50 Best Cocktail Bars in Phoenix

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

“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!“

“First time customer here had an amazing experience, Jack was my server and he was so friendly and helpful with everything I needed throughout my dining experience highly recommend and definitely will be coming back. Thank you again Jack for making my night!“

“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!“

“What a fun lil spot in downtown phoenix with parking AND great drinks with an intimate setting.

I've been here a few times but most recently with some friends ?.

We each got a drink, and we shared popcorn and chips with pimento cheese. My drink, Spice of Life, was a tequila based spicy drink. The flavor was masterfully balanced. My big ? iceberg in my drink kept it from getting watered down. My bestie doesn't drink and has allergies and they made her a beautiful dragon fruit based mocktail. My other friend had a rum and coconut based drink.

Alll in all, I would recommend trying this place out. Especially if you like really sexy spaces.

Dietary restrictions: They can work with people that have allergies. Their kitchen has only a few items so don't go in expecting to get custom meals. They accommodate food allergies, including drink ingredients

Parking: There are limited spaces here. If the parking lot is packed, you might wanna check and see if there's a table.“

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

“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.“

“Great time always with amazing drinks and service.“

“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…“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Caring owner and staff. Wonderful food.“

“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.“

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

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

“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“

“FYPM is a hidden gem, tucked behind a secret glass door—just let the hostess know you’re here for FYPM. It’s the perfect alternative if Killer Whale Sex Club is too busy. Inside, you’ll find a great vibe with awesome music, a creative menu, and friendly bartenders who craft top-notch drinks. The lighting adds to the cool, unique atmosphere, making it a standout spot for a memorable night.“

“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“

“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.!!“

“Came here to meet a friend; left feeling so impressed by the service. I gave minimal guidance on what I enjoy to drink and our server delivered. Would love to come back here; will only do so after acquiring a couple old school ASU cups to give to the bar.“

“Great beers and great Vibe“

“This is a pretty nice bar located in the JW Marriott with an impressive bourbon selection. Pricing is a little higher than normal but it’s not surprising considering you have a captive audience. It does get quite loud with the acoustics of the place and when moderately crowded it seems like everyone is yelling in order to be heard over the other guy. Nice place to grab a drink after a day of meetings in their convention center.“

“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!!“

“Great place to be. Awesome hockey games.“

“Best salads and breakfasts! Great Ramen nights!“

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

“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🤣😂😂“

“This place is always delicious! We brought our friends for the first time and we all loved it. Only issue was the water tasted like soap. We asked for a new bottle and glasses and same issue. Never happened before. Other than the soapy tasting water everything was so amazing.“

“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!“

“I have found a legitimate broker who has helped me in so many ways in the aspect of forex & cryptocurrency. At first, I was really skeptical that it won't work but I still kept the faith going until I saw a recommendation about Mrs Craig Vanessa who changed my financial status from grass to grace. Once again I'm really grateful for your help and support towards me and my family in this tough time of the year. If you are looking for a change in your finances, then connect to Mrs. Craig Vanessa today on WhatsApp through Facebook via Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“It's pretty cool hangout, interesting vibe and unique cocktails.“

“lots of friendly people and waitstaff feel very comfy here.“

“Great atmosphere and fantastic tasty food! Service always with a smile.“

“We dined at Kai Restaurant on New Year's Eve, and it was an unforgettable experience. As a five-diamond restaurant, Kai truly lives up to its reputation. The service was absolutely amazing—attentive, professional, and welcoming. The drinks were crafted to perfection, and the food was exceptional. The highlight of the meal was the Wagyu—it was cooked to perfection and every bite melted in my mouth. The presentation of each dish beautifully incorporates the essence of the Pima and Maricopa tribes, adding a unique and meaningful touch to the dining experience. The ambiance made the evening feel extra special. If you're looking for a top-tier dining experience, Kai is a must-visit!“

“Absolutely love coming here. Karaoke is fun and the guy who runs it is hilarious and just the sweetest. As for bartenders Kassie is my favorite! She is kind, sweet and great at what she does. She is one of the many reasons I go back to Daves.“

“Captain is the best guy! He developed this menu and it is THE BEST.“

“We visited based on another friend's review and were not let down. Great food, phenomenal cocktails and fantastic service! Everything was excellent from start to finish. I highly recommend this place for an adult's night out! Shout out to Taylor for the amazing and prompt service all night.“

“Great place. Nice staff and good menu Outside seating is great during cooler weather too“

“Great atmosphere and great food“

“Great staff! Personable and knowledgeable employees, and the atmosphere is very welcoming!“

“Love Butler’s Easy! It’s such a great place to hang out. They also have lots of fun events and live music throughout the week. It’s hidden gem in Sunnyslope!“

“Quintessential dive bar with cheap drinks. The U shaped bar is nice, but very limited seating so get there early. There are a few tables, but this place is small and fills up in the late evening.

Pool table and a soft tip dart board with a vintage jukebox.“

“Best quesadillas, tacos, and margaritas in town!!“

“My family and I went to LeDu Thai food today at lunch. It was a really great experience. The restaurant is beautiful inside. The service was great. The food was top-notch. We were really impressed and have been to many Thai food restaurants and this will be our new go-to spot for Thai and will be looking forward to taking our friends and people from out of town to this restaurant. Really great experience.“
