Great place for a date night with a cool atmosphere and great service! Unfortunately, the food and…read moredrinks didn't wow us. The drinks were okay but nothing special, and the food was a bit disappointing. We really wanted to love this place because it has such a unique vibe, but there wasn't anything we ate or drank that we'd be excited to come back for. The atmosphere and service were great; we just wish the food and cocktails lived up to them. A parking tip: Be sure to take a picture of your license plate number. Don't pay for parking in the garage when you arrive. As soon as you get to the hostess station, provide your license plate number, and they'll validate your parking for up to two hours. If you plan to stay longer or go somewhere else afterward, keep in mind that the validation will expire. Extending the parking for another two hours cost me $14.

So let me preface this review on my inebriation level as being pretty high after hitting Pinkys,…read morebut we decided to hit this place up on a bar hop, because why not when your just throwing them down. This is very cool joint with a dark feel too it. They have a basement bar which we ventured into and they also have an upstairs bar as well, so you can fit a lot of drunk People in there. It also features a lot of great art that fits really highlights the Mexican bar vibe. The waitress/bar tender/ agave expert was very welcoming and know a lot about their tequilas and mescal option. I love me some smokey mescal, I dont remember thet name of the drink but it had some kind of elote triple sec or something like that along with Mescal and it was quite tasty. Trust me I was in no state to remember ingredients but this is from my foggy memory. I also got a pick of the cool ice blocks that has an Agave inlay that they put in the tumbler with your drink. I will definitely be going back for their wide Mescal and tequila options. I didn't see food in the bar, but they have a food truck out front that smelled amazing, but sometimes I simply dont want to eat when there are plenty of drinks to be had. They do have Esquites, Tacos, Quesadillas, Mini Chimis, and loaded fries. I will have to do another review on the food when I am not out being a borracho. They do take reservations and host private parties which would make for one raucous Christmas party if you don't work at a Christ loving conservative company like me. You can also order bottles of mescal and pick it up on location which is pretty awesome as especially after trying out the selection. Happy hour is every weekday that they are open to try out some of their cocktails. This is a great option to impress your tinder date if you are a lush like me pr want to show of your sophisticated drinker side.

Friend was in town, so our group of 4 bar hopped the night away. Sazerac happened to be one if our stops that night and I loved it! Bars aren't usually my thing, but if I ever do go, it's with a group. We were semi-tipsy when we arrived but each got a drink to keep th vibe alive. I k ow I didn't order anything on the menu, but I did ask Anthony to make me something peachy/mango-y and he came through!! Idk what he put in it but he called it the "Ta Daaaa!" It was absolutely delicious and right up my alley! Later in the evening, my friend and I shared a shot while our guy friends were chopping it up on the patio. That damn shot was sooo freakin' good and didn't break the bank, either! If you're looking for a chill spot to have a drink or two, this is it. The patio is nicely decorated and there's a taco truck serving up yummies to go with your tasty cocktails. Gather up your crew and head to Sazerac for a night you won't soon forget. And don't forget to grab some freebies to the left of the door when you exit! **IYKYK** lol

Both cocktails were made with the perfect amount of alcohol: you could tell it was in there but it didn't burn. Our bartender was friendly and knowledgeable. He gave advice on beverages and answered my questions I had about tequilas. We each had a tequila shot together and he answered our questions about the different tequilas that they have. The hostess/guard at the door wasn't in a very good mood but maybe she was tired or had put up with too many rude customers I didn't have any food but my friends had loaded fries and tacos and they looked really good. Liked the vibe! The music was good and the mood was chill. Definitely would go back. Just don't visit the bathroom unless you're prepared for nudity

I'm obsessed with this spot! I stumbled upon industry standard (almost quite literally) after a day…read moreof drinking downtown. I was immediately drawn to their craft cocktails and the focaccia with whipped ricotta captured my heart. I'm a huge savory cocktail girl and they had multiple options. The Caprese was everything for me, like a crispy salad in a glass. They also make a mean dirty martini. The vibe is great too, dimly lit with vibey house music and the bartenders and servers are all super chill and friendly. Effortlessly cool without being too snooty. I'm a big fan of their food too, my top faves were the Caesar salad, watermelon salad, vodka pasta & cookie skillet, besides my beloved bread of course. The girl dinner is truly such a steal so if you go on a Tues night, don't skip it! It comes with a martini, caviar chip, Caesar salad & vodka pasta. They also do a boy dinner on Thurs which I'll need to come back for! Absolutely in love and will definitely be back again soon.

No reservations at this place, just first come, first serve! As mentioned the bar is not gigantic. When you walk in on the right there is a long bar with stools and on the left there are some small booths great for couples. The place does feature a couple large booths for larger parties of 6. The ambiance is dark like most speakeasies. Super modern looking with live plants gracing one of the walls and alcohol on the rest of the wall requiring a ladder to access top shelf. If you are hungry, the bar does offer some food. There are a variety of tacos on the menu and a raw bar. On the raw bar you can get oysters and shrimp. Lastly the bar does have a small happy hour. Bar stays open till midnight.

Located in Downtown Phoenix, the parking situation is a little hairy. There is paid parking nearby,…read morebut it definitely is better to come a little earlier to scope out the parking situation and get that sorted before your reservation. My party and I had a reservation on a Saturday night at 9pm (when it's 13 people, what can you do). What kind of sucked though (and mainly why I'm deducting a star) is that we did wait an additional half hour to be seated after our reservation time. Our theory is that they didn't think the entire party would actually arrive, and they were not ready to accommodate us. To be fair, the restaurant IS on the smaller side, but there was 0 communication during that half hour on what was going on... which isn't really good for us either. We got the original set, and this somewhat confused me as well. The food was really good, and was definitely a restaurant that I'd go to for the experience, but for some reason some of the meats were doubled while others weren't. The double portions were really nice since our party was so large, we needed to split the food between 4 different grills (so each table got 2 grills each, feeding 6-7 people in total or 3-4 people per grill), but then we had to share the portions where we only got one serving. It wasn't bad, but to me, didn't make sense. The food was really good though; I didn't care too much about the soup, but the green sauce was SO good. Mixing a little with the soup was incredible. I thought the beef and pork were really good. I personally left the restaurant full, but many others in my party did not. I think it's a really good amount of food for 2 people, but when you push to 3+, you probably do not want to come hungry. Also--the live music at Pemberton next door is SO LOUD, you're going to be shouting at your table the entire night when you sit outside. I think I would come back if I wanted to show this place to someone who didn't live here, but it isn't on the top of my list for when I'm trying to eat out, but I will definitely consider this for special date night occasions. It is extremely expensive for what it is though. For $70+ you risk the chance of leaving not full which SUCKS.

I wish they give the options of mushrooms like Enochi and King Oysters along with extra condiments for the Suki Sauce like Garlic, Chilli and Lime juice. The service was really good and attentive. This place really took me back to the Moo Kra Ta buffets in Bangkok and made me nostalgic. I hope they do have more options in terms of seafood and veggies! I hope the restaurant specifies clearly that the services are on reservation basis only because it isn't clarified anywhere yet. This would help a lot of people. Also, I hope the restaurant informs, directs and put in place about the parking spaces available around. Can't wait to get back already!

The fries were extra crispy and seasoned well. I'll definitely be back when I can drink again!

We love little rituals all year round, but the holiday pop-ups are even better…read more We had reservations for the Halloween pop-up and it really helped us get into the Halloween mood. It's located inside a hotel so you have to come up the elevator and when you turn the corner and walk into the vestibule you are immediately thrown into the Halloween experience. There's a seating area and some shelves and now there's a phantom there, as well as mood lighting and some spooky little touches like skulls and scary doll heads. When you walk through to the actual bar, there is a giant skeleton in the red Moody lighting. There are spider webs everywhere but my favorite thing in the entire bar was on a credenza that held spooky dolls - - and a very creepy clown doll with a broken leg. I really want that clown doll! There is a circle of ghost children dancing and a coffin in the corner. They do have a haunted Halloween cocktail menu, and while you can still order from the regular menu, they've actually temporarily removed some of the regular cocktails to make room for the Halloween cocktails. We ordered the Clown Pear-anoia, okay mezcal cocktail served in a spooky clown mug, and the Widows Whisper, a Halloween tiki drink. As always at Little Rituals, the cocktails were delish. Little rituals has received many awards, including a James Beard semifinalist for outstanding bar, and the 2025 Best U.S. Hotel Bar. If you like cocktail bars, you have to go to little rituals. It's definitely one of the best in the valley!
