Had the best time at this cute little speakeasy bar! TJ and crew were amazing, gave us a ton of insight, history and suggestions for all Scottsdale has to offer. This wasn’t just grabbing a drink but it was a full experience. Will be back - highly recommend visiting!

We absolutely loved our drinks (two bartenders choice and 1 phantom of the opera). The bartender was amazing. I did the bartenders choice with my preference being something fruity with egg whites and he made me something amazing! Seemed like a unique spinoff from a clover club. What was truly amazing was that he got my dad, who’s a total man’s man, to get 2 fruity mango drinks in a coupe glass. My dad was thrown off a little when the drink was first put in front of him, even insisting that it was my sisters, but the bartender assured him that it was his “bartenders choice”. My dad ended up absolutely loving it and even took a picture of the spiced pear liquor that was in it so that he could get his own bottle.
Unfortunately what knocked off a star was the bathroom situation. 1 is out of order and the other has a broken baby changing station, no place to put a purse, and a floor that clearly hasn’t been mopped this week.
Also the password thing isn’t real. The phone didn’t make any noise and when we were confused the barista told us to just push the door in. I get wanting to add an element of fun but putting a password on instagram and no directions to push the door seemed to confuse most people coming in for the first time.

Gin & Reel is a hidden speakeasy in the back of The Stir coffee shop on High Street. Find the password to enter in the caption of the pinned post on their Instagram page. Then, pick up the payphone, give the password, and be transported to a 1920s speakeasy. I've been to many speakeasies in town and this has the real feeling of being hidden, with other flappers, in a small cozy joint.
After a good run with Phantom of the Opera, the current menu is Chicago inspired with drinks named: Roxie Hart, All that Jazz, Amos, and Razzle Dazzle. I started with a gin based cocktail called Cellblock Tango that was too sweet for my palette, but ended with a bolder Old Fashion type called They Both Reached for the Gun.
Their hours are 5-11pm Sun-Thur and 5-1am Friday and Saturday. Plan a fun night by eating dinner at one of the many restaurants on High Street before ending the night in a hidden speakeasy.
Don't be a wet blanket. Get dolled-up in your best hotsy-totsy outfit, take the jalopy, and head to this juice joint for some hooch.

One of the best speakeasy-type bars we’ve ever been too! The service was phenomenal, both bartenders were personable and made it a fun and relaxing atmosphere. We learned a few back stories behind certain liquors and what makes the place so unique. 10/10 experience, special thanks to Adam as well, his skill and friendly demeanor made the whole endeavor worth the trip during our Phoenix vacation!

This is my absolute favorite speakeasy North Phoenix makes this an original go to on high Street. Don’t forget to step into the phone booth and try the amazing flatbread and old-fashioned.

Very small speakeasy with a cool phone booth entrance through “Stirs” the coffee bar. My friends said there cocktails were really pricey at 20 just for a drink that’s the only downside if you’re a beer drinker like I am the drinks for beer are cheap here
My bill was 55$ paid with 60$ cash and they told me I gave them the exact amount. Theft is not okay. Going to file with The attorney general.

Nice speakeasy cocktail bar. Lively but able to have a conversation. Drinks were tasty and not overpowered with alcohol.

If you enjoy a great cocktail and fun atmosphere please check out gin and reel! A true “speakeasy” feel with the fun entrance and intimate lounge environment. I recommend ordering a bartenders choice- I’ve tried fruity, floral, and dessert drinks and they have all been delicious! The gin and tonic flight is also delicious and a great way to try some unique gin. I’ve always had good service and the bartenders are so friendly and talented! A great place for date night or to bring visiting family/friends.

Came on a Wednesday night. Spent an hour and a half waiting for drinks. Meanwhile waiter didn’t bring water the entire time. Tried to pay with card and our check just sat there for 20 minutes with no one picking up our card. Luckily had cash otherwise would’ve just sat there waiting. Crazy to charge $20 a drink for no service

I don't care how good your coffee is, an Americano shouldn't cost $9
Their menu shows $6, asked for room for cream and they poured it as 50% cream
Loved coming here but they are PERMANENTLY CLOSED
