Love the vibe here, I will definitely come back with my friends, I appreciate the value, the size and layout of the space, the artistic vibe and the way you can walk and go into so many different environments, this was a lot of fun.

We arrived at the Pemberton 30 minutes before our reservation. We were told that our table wasn't ready, but that we could return 5 minutes before the reservation and look around before then. We walk through the art exhibit, ordered drinks at one of the bars, and then went to a seating area. There were approximately 11 tables listed as reserved, of which three were taken. We stood and drank the drinks we purchased at the airstream bar. “Kyle” was a wonderfully attentive bartender. Later we went back out to the hostess desk at the time of our reservation. We were then walked back to the seating area we were previously standing in to one of the tables that had been empty for the previous half hour. We sat with waters, provided by the hostess, for an hour and seventeen minutes. Eventually we were able to flag down Austin to ask who our server was. He let us know Gio was assigned to our section but that he hadn't seen him. We ultimately decided to leave and go to Hanny's. I definitely recommend Hanny's we were seated immediately and given exceptional service. Lauren was a fantastic bartender and the food was delicious. This is supposed to be a review for the Pemberton, but I unfortunately only have positive remarks for my experience at Hanny's and “Kyle” the bartender.

This is a perfect venue for cool Phoenix nights! The amazing art work, music flavors and open air concept will have you immersed in the energy and vibes. We had a great time!

Oh man, this place is so cool and sooooo much fun! This is my new favorite dinner/drinks/hang out spot. It's super unique. It's basically Phoenix's version of Meow Wolf, albeit smaller. It's a massive outdoor space full of art installations from local artists. It's all interactive with different themed areas, so you can be transported to a Japanese izakaya then to an Italian bistro. This is my new favorite place to take guests from out of town. Love it!

So I've been here before many times and have had great service but this night it wasn't good service at alll the waitress took out order and we waited 30 mins till we were like “let's go get the drinks” and our waitress was bartending behind the bar and then going on waiting on other tables ... I do love this place but this night Definatly was not up to par

What a fun, funky place to spend an evening. Art installations, live music with dancing spaces, quiet corners to hang out in and just hang out, multiple food & drink venues. Definite place to visit.

Attended the Lit Twist 1 Year Anniversary as a Vendor and the space was great and the event was amazing. I Am Root Brand and Poetry Hype brought some phenomenal poets. Definitely will come back!

The Pemberton is a large outdoor entertainment venue in downtown Phoenix. Park along the street or do as we did and pull up in electric scooters. Entry is free, but you do enter through security guards and pat downs.
As soon as we were through security, we were immersed in art through color and sound. It felt like an unending psychedelic labyrinth! Through bushes, we spotted meat cooking on a grill. To our left was a lit up bar, the first of many. Keep walking, and soon we were surrounded by paintings. It was like a choose-your-own adventure! Go left towards art or step to the right to find a covered turf lawn with a live band.
We grabbed cocktails at a variety of bars, including a Japanese inspired garden. It was like a lucid dream. We walked through an L.E.D. tunnel, passed couples sitting at elevated hexagon shaped booths, and at one point ended up in a house with a dance party.
It's a unique concept. Fun for an intimate date night or an outing with friends.
This place is super cool! There are so many little pathways all throughout that go to different parts of the experience, with lots of different artworks, live music, cocktails, food, and places to just chill and enjoy the vibes.

This place is so much fun, creative and artistic. I loved the various locations that transported you to different cities or feeling. The drinks were fantastic and the service was quick, friendly, and helpful.

The guy at the bar was terrible he couldn't fix a drink for the life of him. I mean how do you mess up a lemon drop at least he got my Jack and coke right. Not to mention I asked if I open a tab and he told me no but yet I seen other people opening tabs so it is what it is horrible service won't be back.
