I think one of the things I like most about 36 below is the ever-changing theme. We were here tonight I really like the Halloween theme. Lots of spider webs and giant spiders and cool little Halloween touches everywhere. The thing I loved most was the weird monster on the screen--look closely to see lots of spiders crawling around! There were some pretty cool cocktails on the menu. Between all of us, we ordered the Fear and Loathing, the Blood of my Enemies, the Cursed Chalice, and the Sweet Sacrifice. We really liked all of them, but I think we all agreed the Sweet sacrifice was kind of amazing with its toasted (they toasted it at the table) marshmallow foam. We also ordered food from the very limited menu. We got the French baguette with french butter, the potatoes au gratin, and the coq au vin with root vegetables. We weren't terribly hungry, so we ordered two of everything to share between the three of us and it was plenty. We sat at the bar, which we love to do. It is always quite a show to watch the cocktails being made. Our bartender was really great. 36 Below is one of these places that we come over and over again, and we will continue to come. Weekend reservations around Halloween and Christmas really book up fast. I've already got my Christmas reservation set.

This was our second time at 36 Below. We had such a great experience the first time, so we brought some friends with us this time. Unfortunately, this visit was a little disappointing. Both of my drinks were kind of a letdown. I got the Fear and Loathing first, but it wasn't smoked! Then I got The Orchid because I remembered how pretty it looked on their website. But they were out of the special glass, so mine came in a parrot instead. It was cute, but just not as impressive as I was expecting. We still had a great time with our friends, and I still love the speakeasy vibe here. I just wish the drinks had the same wow factor as our first visit, especially since we brought our friends because we told them how cool this place was!

While visiting a friend on Phoenix for a long weekend, we stopped by 36 Below, the speakeasy cocktail bar located under Sip Coffee & Beer. It is a themed cocktail bar, and I believe the concept changes quarterly. When we visited, the theme was "Midnight in Paris." When we stepped inside, the space was decorated with faux flowers, artwork, classical-style busts, and flickering faux candles, creating a fun Parisian-inspired atmosphere. We spent some time chatting with the bartenders, who were friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to talk through the menu and the rotating themes. Every cocktail is served in unique, creative glassware that adds to the overall experience. I was looking for a tequila-based drink and ordered the Foam on the Rim ($18), made with jalapeño-infused tequila, watermelon, lime, and ricotta cream foam. It was good, almost like a dessert in cocktail form, but too Rick to have more than one. We visited around 8/8:30 p.m. on a Sunday evening. Aside from a small birthday celebration, we practically had the place to ourselves. The intimate size and quieter atmosphere made it an ideal spot for a date night or catching up with a friend without having to shout over loud music. This was a cool spot to explore, I'm glad we stopped in!

As expected, this little speakeasy lived up to the hype. We have had these reservations for a Halloween weekend spooky date night for awhile, definitely recommend the reservation. Drinks were very delicious and served a whole experience. The small plates we ate were delicious and served quickly. The only distaste my boyfriend and I had was the chairs were not the comfiest. It is a small speakeasy so you already feel very tight. The added uncomfort of the chairs being small and low padding was definitely prevalent by the end. Still a 5/5 experience and look forward to coming back to see the next theme!

Went with my wife and daughter for the Halloween theme. The decor is well done and not a spot is missing, although it's not too hard filling the basement bar the size of a walk in closet in some homes. It was cozy, but we didn't feel cramped in the small padded stool chairs, although the waitress may have felt cramped squeezing by between the bar patrons and table customers chairs, about 12 inches space. The drinks were amazing and had great presentation and the server was so friendly, loved it!

Stopped in to grab a drink while on the hunt for a cocktail bar and 36 Below popped up. You enter through Sip coffee shop which is confusing and there's no obvious signage when you first walk in. It's located in the basement, so there are no direct windows or doors in the establishment. BUT the AC was kickin so all is well! We sat at the bar which was supposed to have wireless charging stations, but the one at the end of the bar was broken. This bar changes themes throughout the year - this time was a Paris theme, so all decorations and drinks were based on that vibe. We got two drinks - the Oaxaca In Me and Kiwi's Nest. Both drinks were yummy and strong, but you're definitely paying for ambiance and presentation more than anything else. Our bartender was friendly and chatty. The bar is very small with even smaller seating arrangement. I believe reservations are strongly recommended, we just happened to stop in at the right time. Didn't try any food, but if it's anything like their drinks, it's probably smaller portions. Probably won't be back unless every other bar we're by is busy.

So this speakeasy was a cool spot to chill at! You have to enter through the Sip Coffee Bar, and go downstairs. I heard about this place from good ole fellow Elite, Vlad. 36 Below changes their theme every so often, and this time it happens to be "Midnight in Paris." I wasn't sure if I had to dress the part, but for my first time there, I made sure to look polished. Upon entering, I was shocked to see that the place is TINY!! The table we sat at had the tiniest chairs I've ever seen!! I didn't know Vlad had been here at few times before, but since I got there first, I told him he may hit the ceiling, lol! The ceilings are pretty low, but tbe space is very carefully decorated to fit the current theme. We chose to order the Cocktail Experience for Parties of Two, which includes 4 cocktails or (mocktails) and their Gruyére Mornay Baked Macaroni. You can choose to upgrade the food portion (just pay the difference). Our server was super nice and friendly throughout our visit. Vlad had heard about a "secret code" and when he gave that code to our server, we ended up with 2 specialty shots on the house! It was super cute and fun to watch! I can't spill the beans and tell you what the code is, you just have to find it another way... lol. As for our cocktails, you would think we would have ordered different things, but we were kind of boring and got the same things, haha! The Epernay and the Chateau De Chambord. Both were delicious, but we both preferred the Chateau over the Epernay. Presentation is beautiful! We saw other people's drinks and every single one was stunning in its own way. To note: the glasses can be purchased! There is a glass case by the stairway going down, a day the prices are listed by shelf numbers. We didn't buy any, but we did like the aesthetics. As far as the food, we only sampled the mac and cheese, and to be honest, it was not the best in my opinion. I'm used to a creamy mac, but this one is more on the dry side and "bread crumb-y." It didn't taste bad at all, but it definitely had no creaminess to it. It's also a very small portion. That being said, you don't come here for food, it's the cocktails, of course!! At $84 for 4 cocktails and a side of mac, you're saving a few bucks since the drinks cost around $20 each. I do suggest eating somewhere else before you come here. I believe reservations are also required. They will charge you if you don't cancel ahead of time and end up being a no show. You've been warned! This place is a solid 4 stars for the experience. The chairs at the tables are small and uncomfortable so if you're a larger person, I'm just saying it may not be comfortable for you. They do have bar seating and that looked way more comfortable. Nonetheless, 36 Below is a good time for sure. Let's see if we can catch the next theme!

Wanted to update on going back for the spooky theme :) Once again great experience drinks were great and got some food this time. The bread and the salad were great you can definitely tell the chef they brought in for this knows what's up. Both were so simple, but were amazing and had so much flavor. Service was perfect, can't wait to go back for the next theme!

Well...this was a nicely crafted gem of a place to try out. If you want drinks and an enjoyable bar scene of relaxing, chatting, drinking or just enjoying the underground scenery. This is the spot for you to try... Upon walking in, you're figuring out which way to go but it's wag to find and you find that entrance to the bottom. Great drink selection and tip top service. I enjoyed my time and drink here... It's a must to try. Thank you 36B!!!!

What a beautiful little speakeasy! Located below Sip Coffee and Beer Garage, it's like you are walking into a beautifully decorated fairytale. We were greeted by two bartenders who were very friendly and even offered to take our photos to make our night more memorable. I didn't get their names but they were very attentive and pleasant. We ordered drinks only but noticed the food looked delicious. I ordered the Earth - White Rum, Plum Wine, Red Rice Spirit, Oolong Peach Cordial, Lime, Cherry Blossom. $18. Delicious. My friends ordered the Air - Buddha's Hand Vodka, Yogurt Soju, Jackfruit, Chamomile, Forest Liqueur, Shiso, Lemon, Coconut Air, Strawberry Jello. $18 And, finally the Orchid - Vodka, St. Germain, Aloe, Lemon, Lavender. $19. This had a light inside. Displayed beautifully. Are the drinks a little expensive? Maybe. But it is about the experience right? It's a fun, friendly and immersive experience in this underground speakeasy.

A few girlfriends and I finally made it in to 36 below after talking about it for months. We came during Christmas time which was quite hard to get in. We booked about two weeks out & had to do a late night week day. It was still worth it though! The only negative was that we still had to wait about 15 mins after our set reservation time to be seated. The bar was decorated so beautifully inside & made you feel like you stepped into Christmas in NYC. I loved how cozy it felt. We did the three person deal which included two drinks for each of us & the mistletoe dip. I thought the pricing was pretty reasonable & I really enjoyed everything. The drink presentations were everything! I'll definitely be back again to check out another theme & hopefully it won't be as crazy busy during non-holiday season.

I say...come check it out but know these things first: I've seen this place all over social media and it looks super cool--however--this place is not as big as it appears online. Make reservations. Understand that the 90 min (1hr, 30 min) experience goes by fast and they will have 1 server and 1 bartender for the whole place (at least on a Saturday at 4pm). We would have ordered more--we typically always do at these places but we timed out. Seating is also tight. We got sat at the very bottom of the stairs and in the way of the constant staff going back and forth to the kitchen. I could have easily elbowed one by accident. The chairs are very uncomfortable too BTW. Our server was super helpful and kind but poor thing is just one person for a room full of patrons in a tight small space. With that said--the theme we experienced was the Neon Tokyo. It was good. I came. I saw. I conquered. I don't know if I would come back but that's the thing with themes--depending on the theme...I may come back knowing the service is slow. Alright food and cocktails: I would say 7/10 We did the party of two--4 cocktails and 1 appetizer. 1st Round: I ordered the Fire cocktail--awesome presentation with the Fire. Cocktail itself was mid. My fiancé ordered the Earth and his was delicious. 2nd Round: I ordered the Orchid--pretty presentation and yummy cocktail. Would rate it as an 8/10. The fiancé ordered the Void and it was DELICIOUS!!! Our favorite cocktail of the night. Food we ordered was the potstickers and they were very mid. I can cook these in the air fryer myself. Considering the powerhouse speakeasy spots walking distance away at Century Grand--this place is subpar compared to Platform 18, Undertow, RenRx which are all far superior. Like I said--come try it and cross it off the bucket list.

Visited 36 Below for the ambiance initially but stayed for the amazing craft cocktails and perfectly balanced small bites. The speakeasy vibe with Midnight in Paris was so pretty! I can't wait to visit again soon for their Halloween theme! Robert the bartender was super swift and knowledgeable in his craft, Thank you for taking care of us! Cheers !

Can you make these cocktails in a non alcoholic version if asked? I would like to come and check it out but I do not drink alcohol and I would still like the food and experience

Hey Toni, thank you for your question. You can enjoy an alcohol-free experience with our refreshing mocktails at 36 Below, the premier cocktail lounge in Phoenix. Our innovative mixologists create a unique selection of mocktails that are as… 

Is the bar wheelchair accessible?

There is a pretty lengthy flight of steps down into the bar. I did not see an elevator when I went but might want to call and confirm with the bar.

Is the 20% auto gratuity to the final bill at checkout only for reservations for party of 3?

Hey Lara, thanks for your question. For full details on when it applies, please contact us directly. We look forward to seeing you at our cocktail bar in Phoenix!

Can I go alone?

There was a girl by herself at a table last time I was there. They are very small tables, made for 1-2. You could also request a bar seat.

If we make a reservation for 3 people but only 2 end up showing, will the $75 prepay just be applied to our bill? Or will $50 be applied to the bill and be charged the $25 no show?

Hi Sarah, If you made a reservation for three people and only two shows, we will apply the $75… 

So they sell tiki mugs here?

We do not sell tiki mugs. I think you have us mistaken for another bar.

Do you need a reservation?

Walk-ins welcome, reservations recommended. We cannot guarantee availability.

Are reservations required or do you accept walk ins?

Earlier this year I stopped by for happy hour at Indian School with a friend that ended with me taking a pizza home. Then more recently I came for a "Sunday supper" with friends that also ended with me taking some pizza home. I absolutely love the bar decor and how they've separated the store from the bar. They have a host but you can walk-in to belly up, or make reservations if the # of attendees is around 10. All the staff are super friendly on both sides of the bar (retail and restaurant)! They (like any self-respecting craft beer bar) use Untappd to keep their draft list publicized. And both times I've gone it has been a vey solid list, complemented by some tasty cocktails. But the star of the show is the plain 8.3 cheese pizza with solid undercarriage (I don't like wobbly / flimsy pizza either) that has the right amount of char. As much as I love a supreme pizza, there's almost too much topping and not enough support for it. Still delicious though. If you're with people, definitely grab a bruschetta board to share beforehand.

Well my husband is allergic to nuts and wanted the charcuterie to share. Server said we can't do it because the chefs don't wash their cutting tools between meats and there is mortadella. I don't understand this why aren't you washing your utensils??? Or why can't you? Is it so hard? Mortadella is disgusting anyway it's bologna. Better with Proscuitto. SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST! The veuve bottle was like $80 what a steal!!

Not your typical loud, clubby type of restaurant in the heart of old town. The drinks: very innovative and complex flavors (something this place does very well). I recommend trying their take on the vesper martini with olive oil washed vodka which has a nice, smooth finish. However, they have a ton of fun ones that are worth a sip as well. The food: holy moly. I couldn't believe how perfect every single bite of food I had was. The arancini was so delicious, with a drizzle of hot sauce that gave it a perfect kick, and the garlic buns were life changing (both are MUST orders).

Calling it "carnitas" almost doesn't do it justice because the pork reminded me more of a super meaty pork belly -- tender, flavorful, and there was a TON of it.

The kimchi rice on the side was another fun touch and went perfectly with the whole meal. It's a small, laid-back spot, and there was a one-man band playing acoustic guitar and singing some great classic songs while we were there, which made the atmosphere even better. Nothing stuffy or overdone -- just relaxed, good food, good music, and a really enjoyable night. Definitely glad TikTok led us to this little hidden gem. I'm happy we tried it, and I would absolutely go back!
