This was a really fun airplane themed experience. When it first opened it was impossible to get the reservation, but now we actually made a reservation just two days ahead. The reservation fee is $25 per person. Keep in mind that this is not simply a reservation deposit like most places. You are actually paying $25 and in exchange you get a boarding pass, a welcome cocktail, a set of wings (this is a really nice quality pin, not the cheesy plastic wings they give the kids on Southwest), spicy nuts, and a sweet treat. When you arrive, you pick up your "boarding pass" at Wren and Wolf around the corner. This flight was going to Tokyo. There is a red-rope line that you wait in until your "flight" boards. At your reservation time, the "Captain" opens the door and a "flight attendant" takes you to your seat. Actually, they call them stewardesses because it's supposed to be 70's themed. The inside is kind of amazing. It's airline themed without being too literal. We have visited another airline themed cocktail lounge in Palm springs which literally had real airline seats. This is not that. It has a lot of beautiful shiny wood and great lighting and it's just generally a gorgeous space. There is a bar at the back. Throughout your 90-minute experience, there is a captain on the overhead letting you know what will happen next. They start by bringing you a welcome cocktail and a bowl of spicy nuts. Love the nuts, did not like the cocktail at all. I just poured mine into my husband's glass and he finished it. They come around next to take your cocktail order. My husband ordered a melon sour, and I ordered a chocolate martini. I'm sad to say I did not like this cocktail either, although I did finish this one. Hubby thought his was fine. After that round of cocktails the flight attendant and Captain come around with the cart to take Martini orders. It looked like less than half of the people ordered a martini. We were there on a Sunday afternoon, and so the two cocktails we already had were plenty and we did not order martinis. Then the flight attendant comes around with a plate of black and white cookies. They were so good - - they tasted homemade. This was really just fun. While I didn't love the cocktails, I did love the cookies and the spicy nuts and the whole experience and I really recommend it. read more

Get there on time! The doors are locked once they are "in flight". We got lost and had to check in at Wren and Wolf around the corner. They had to call a manager to unlock the door and let us in and took a few minutes. We missed the pre-flight instructions. This was such a fun experience! Loved the friendly Flight Attendants. The drinks were good except for the Kamikaze. Didn't know what to make of it. There were so many ingredients. It didn't taste like anything listed. The Margarita and New York Lemon Drop were really good. They also came around with beverage service - a martini cart. Lol There were complimentary snacks: bowl of peanuts and cookies and small bites that are an extra charge. We ordered the Miso Hummus and Wonton Chips. It was a good, light snack. BIG THANK YOU to the person who found my eye glasses! read more

Carry On Airlines is a unique and cool experience! You board a 90-minute flight. My flight was from New York to Tokyo on a 1970s jumbo-jet. It's a themed cocktail bar and you enjoy an immersive experience. This EXPERIENCE will NOT be for everyone. I enjoyed it and appreciated the opportunity to participate in something different. The plane feels like luxury'. The details of the windows and seeing clouds, while your seat is shaking like you are in turbulence is fun. The plane felt comfortable and cozy. The restroom was very clean. It reminds you of the bathrooms on the plane except it's much cleaner. The flight crew is always there for anything you need. Everyone was polite and friendly. The food and drinks were decent. I enjoyed the bagel and cheesecake. The chopsticks were perfect since it was a flight to Tokyo. The martini cart was cute. The martini packed a punch. Because it was my birthday they were extra sweet. They gave me a birthday shot and wrote on my napkin happy birthday. This was so thoughtful as it's the small things for me. They also announced it to the whole plane. The music was great and I enjoyed it. This is great for a one time adventure. So one and done for me. I would recommend doing it ONCE. It's good for a date, girls night out or celebrating a birthday. The boarding pass and carry on pin are cute examples of how they are trying to make it authentic. My only negative is...it felt a bit rushed. read more

I'm absolutely OBSESSED with this place! We went here to celebrate my friend's 30th birthday, and it did not disappoint! I've never been to a bar/speakeasy that was so immersive from start to finish! The vibe was very 70s flight , funky, fun, and totally unique. They give you a boarding pass and a pin, and the flight we were on was from New York to Tokyo! You get a welcome drink with your ticket, along with some peanuts, which was such a nice touch. The welcome drink was light and refreshing, and the peanuts had a nice salty and spicy kick. The service was prompt and attentive, and the flight attendants had some great recommendations. You even experience turbulence during the experience, which really adds to the immersion. You honestly feel like you're on an actual plane! The drinks are themed around New York and Tokyo, so there's a nice variety to choose from. Overall, this was such a fun and unique experience. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun way to grab drinks with friends or even for a date! read more

Tried this as a tourist in phoenix. Cool concept that has a speakeasy bar which is designed like a flight from the 70s. Expect to see retro vibes, funny flight announcements to keep you interested for the 90 minutes, and a great flying and landing experience. Our flight from New York City to Tokyo saw King Kong over empire state. The vibes are great but the drinks are pretty average and place is pricey. Gratuity is automatically included it was about $60 per person. Book ahead of interested because there are usually out of reservations. The window view from the flight is pretty unique and the seats also vibrate like you are an actual flight read more

Came here with my husband and friends and we had a great time! One of our friends is a pilot and I wasn't sure if he would feel like he was at work or if he would enjoy it. He thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It is very immersive and the time flys by (no pun intended). The theme is done well and very unique. I wish there were some more snack options, but I understand without a kitchen it can be difficult. I also liked that they had mocktails to choose from. The service is very attentive and excellent. Overall, our entire group had a great time here! read more

I went on their website on Monday, two weeks before I wanted to try Carry On. In my experience, that was the easiest way to get tickets. Carry On actually called me to confirm our "tickets," which I thought was really cute. The whole experience kind of started a couple of days before our actual "departure time." They also reminded us to park in the Renaissance Square parking garage under Wren & Wolf, and they were able to validate our parking for three hours. We had to go to Wren & Wolf first to pick up our Carry On tickets. We got there early, and they let us relax in their couch area while we waited for our departure time. The walk from the Renaissance Square parking garage to Wren & Wolf was easy. You just follow the signs, and the whole walk is inside the building, which was perfect because it was so hot outside. While we were waiting, we could order drinks and chill, just like being in an airport lounge. When it was time for departure, we walked outside the building, and Carry On was right around the corner. You won't miss it because you'll see the Carry On Air flight schedule above the gate door. Right on time, we were greeted by a friendly flight attendant. Once we walked into the cabin, it really felt like we were inside a first-class flight lounge. Our flight attendant served us drinks right after we sat down, and we also ordered more cocktails and snacks from their menu. The captain spoke to us over the speaker, just like on a real flight. As we took off, we could even feel the seats moving. Looking out the "window," we saw buildings, clouds surrounding us, and even experienced turbulence I'm not going to tell you too much because I don't want to ruin the experience. I'll let you try it for yourself. I think it's definitely worth giving it a try. At least for us, we loved it. read more

Want an amazingly unique themed cocktail session with great food (Captain's table only) & some light entertainment? Get on board with Carry On! Lets cover how you get there... as tickets & seats are limited release, Monday mornings at 10am AZ time, for the following Friday to Thursday only. Midweek tickets are available for seating & buying drinks only so spur of the moment bookings. But seriously recommend the Captain's table seats (which you can read below) 1) sign up for Sunday email blasts of the booking link (didnt work in my experience, but read on) 2) either get email link or wait for Monday 10am & next week of tickets (should) be released). Now in my first experience, neither the Sunday email or Monday morning release happened, maybe because they had plenty of tickets left for the midweek? Not an issue previously Yelped about so thought I'd add their customer service was absolutely wonderful & responsive to send the ticket link & helpful with allergies & setting up a birthday surprise. The ticket options are the following. $25 to get in, sit & buy cocktails & watch the other +-18 people get free cocktails & absolutely wonderful 4 plate small bites. As you can see from all the pics the food is fantastic & themed for the trip. The Captain's table tickets either come in 2 pack or 4 pack (seater tables) & well worth the experience. Now the website has a lot of info to read, one of the things it lists is a 20% "service charge" & that gratuity isn't included. Dont be concerned with this, ill mention it at the end. My advice to the management is to reword this sentence or it could be very misleading & a put off in this day & age as now I'm thinking i need to add 30-40% to the bill for service charge & gratuity... & believe me all the staff worked hard & are well deserving. About 5-10 mins before take off, head to the welcome desk at the Wren & Wolf, pick up your boarding passes & walk outside about 30 seconds around the corner to stand in line. Previous review talked about long waiting, didnt experience that as our doors opened bang on time & one of the Captain's checked out ID & boarding passes. We moved through a rather small beautifully decorated check in counter with period 70s time zone clock & boarded, to be shown our table. The interior is extremely comfortable, other than the 3x 4 seater Captain's tables, the rest was wrap around bench sofas & 70s low swivel soft chairs. As your eyes adjust to the dim lighting, the interior is all 70s wood, at one end is a full sized bar decorated with some chrome & lots of unique matching 70s style cocktail shakers. After the doors close, the stewardesses, dressed in 70s style single piece uniforms, run through a quick preflight take on the safety talk, while you sip on a welcome complimentary cocktail & nuts. Whilst at this point, our stewardess brings us our first course of absolutely delicious, mini NY style bagel, lox, lashings of cream cheese & topped with caviar; all whilst explaining we get 2 cocktail choices each included with our price. The announcement is made to depart, a rumble is felt below your feet & the LED screens (which you've not noticed all over, looking like large airplane windows) light up & the curtains are raised to reveal the Carry On terminal.... we taxi as the LED windows display a HD video of take off, all synchronised to the various angles & sides of the plane, meaning each window has a unique & different perspective of the take off. Our theme night was NY to Tokyo, so we took off, flew over Manhattan with the Twin Towers & carried on into the clouds. The whole time these windows are their own entertainment, finally circling Japan & landing. Next, 2 Japanese pot stickers with King Crab. Empty plates are swiftly cleared & its not long until our next course Next up, Japanese Waygu skewers eated around a shitso leaf. Then finally one of the best NY cheesecakes I've had, using crushed up Heath bars. Cocktail menu is large, all kinds of unusual selections & half way through the trip, the Captain announces, Its Martini time & the Martini cart is rolled out to all. After we thought we were done, my wife is presented with a beautiful Happy Birthday Cocktail & signed napkin. We'll if my wife is having a 4th drink, so must I. I was advised this would be at my own cost, which is nice to remind folks, but even looking at their alacarte menu, prices were extremely reasonable.. & we've just had 7 cocktails between us included. As the plane comes to land, you feel the landing gear extending & the bill is handed out. Tere is where you pay the taxes & service charge, but the bill lists "gratuity" & believe me, everyone & the experience deserves 20% here. Theres a chance to add a very small additional 3-7%, for me 7% was $6 & yes the entire experience & service, including making my wife feel special on her birthday was amazing. read more

Surprise Father's Day gift to go on a "flight" from NY to Tokyo. This was such a cool experience. I'm an airplane junkie so going back in time in a vintage plane was awesome. The vibe is intimate and the staff was amazing. The food was good; my wagyu was cooked nicely but my wife's was a bit overdone. The peanuts pack some heat so they were a bit too spicy. This is a cool date night experience and you get wings, like the old days. read more

Carry On was a great experience for our bachelorette party (or any sort of special occasion, really)! We had a 7:30pm flight to Mexico City and arrived about 10 minutes early which ended up being perfect because there was already a line forming outside. You really feel the 70s vibes from the moment you step onto the "airplane". The team did an amazing job with the ambiance and you can tell a lot of thought was put into every aspect of the space. It's such a fun immersive experience. Server and bartenders were friendly and fun, and the vibes all around were just super happy. I loved the rolling martini cart that came around! The only reason I'm knocking a star is because when we booked (a party larger than 5) I emailed with the team there for our reservation. They mentioned the option to upgrade the reservation to a $100/person meal option which I declined. After we were seated small bites were passed around the plane. We noticed every table received it, so I truly thought it was part of the standard experience. It wasn't until the 3rd round of small bites went around that I realized we will probably be charged for the full service experience (which we were). Because this was a new experience for us, my suggestion would be to confirm the experiences with our table prior to passing around offerings. We aren't familiar with what to expect, so we didn't know it wasn't standard until it was too late. Otherwise, we had a great experience! read more

WOW. An elevated, 90-minute-long immersive cocktail experience worth every penny. In short, you either sign up on Sunday for a link to RSVP on Monday OR RSVP anytime before your event during the week, pending availability at that time. "First Class Seating" is $25 person for admission, a Welcome Cocktail, House-Made Wasabi Peanuts, and a sweet treat. "Captain's Club" is $100/person for admission, a Welcome cocktail, 2 craft cocktails of your choice and 4-course light bite menu featuring King Crab Dumplings, Mini Salmon Lox Bagel, Japanese A5 Wagyu Skewers, New York Style Cheesecake" Additional food/drinks are also available for purchase separately. There are table options to seat up to 2 or 4 people for $50 and $100, respectively. As I was in a party of 2, I cannot speak to if you must purchase a full table as a party of 1 or pay your individual fare but potentially be seated with another party of 1... My partner and I RSVP'd for a Thursday 7:30pm flight from NYC to Tokyo. Per our email, we were instructed to arrive about 15 minutes early to pick up our flight tickets from the downtown restaurant Wren & Wolf. Spoiler alert: Carry On is a speakeasy attached to the back of the restaurant. After picking up your ticket, you walk around the corner to the large orange "plane" door, which opened punctually at 7:30pm to start our experience. We gave our flight attendants (the staff was indeed wearing flight attendant uniforms) our tickets at the front desk, and were given free Carry On pins before being escorted to our table. Despite being a Thursday evening There were overhead announcements and even windows playing animations emulating a real flight experience from take-off to landing! The interior is gorgeous, from the furnishings to the lighting. Craftily, there are many mirrors inside to create the illusion of a larger space. The menu emulated an in-flight menu, with food and drinks based on the trip's theme! We ordered an additional drink each and an onion dip that were all creatively crafted and delicious! All in all, Carry On is the perfect date night or girl's night experience. While it might not be in most people's price range for a casual night out, it is definitely worth trying for a special occasion if possible. I would love to go back and am looking forward to the next destination's theme! read more

This is a must go to place whether you are from Phoenix or just visiting the experience is well worth your time and money. Step into an airplane from the 1970'd and be taken care of by flight attendants and pilots. You receive a welcome cocktail and snacks for the basic ticket and for the first class ticket you get the welcome cocktail two additional cocktails and a a préfixe 4 course tiny dinner. The vibe is chill but their may be some " turbulence "  on your journey so be prepared. This would make a fun date night or girls night. read more

Had such a fun time here as we were visiting our friends who now live in Phoenix. We had tried to come to this bar a previous time, but reservations fill up fast. Be sure to sign up for there emails prior to wanting to go to secure your spot. The drinks were great and they definitely didn't skimp on the alcohol. We also received fun treats like a black and white cookie and nuts. This bar is definitely an experience and the staff commits to the theme! read more

This was my second "flight" with Carry On and my first flight during the Carry On x Chilte collab. The interior of the space is uniquely decorated and truly moves you to an era of fun flights. I highly recommend dressing to the theme and embracing the experience. The attendants and servers are quick to assist - however, the space itself is quite noisy so bear with the team.

Carry On is amazing! We have been here before but this time we came for the Michelin Star Mexico City tacos and they did not disappoint! The service is always amazing here and the drinks are amazing! We always make an effort to get different drinks and they are always all so dangerously good! It's models as free the top level of a 747 airliner and I think it hits it right on the nose. Very cool and classic ambiance to it. Hard spot to get reservations for but if you do get it, you won't regret it! read more

OK, so I have to say the reservation process was a major turn off for me for the longest time, but it's well worth it! I'm not a huge fan of queues and drop times but I would 1000% do this again. I brought my boyfriend for his birthday and our flight was from NY to Tokyo. PDC nailed it again with this concept. You literally feel like you're on a flight and their drinks were so on point. Even their bathroom is amazing, lol. My boyfriend doesn't live in AZ but said this was easily the best speakeasy concept he has ever been to. 12/10 from us. read more

Finally, a location we have been trying to see but our sporadic trips to Arizona have made it hard until now. We stopped by Wren & Wolf to collect our boarding passes and sat down to relax in the lounge until we got closer to boarding time. We then walked around the building to the dimly lit entrance and waited behind the ropes. At exactly the boarding time, the captain opened the doors and greeted us. We walked by the check-in area, and our tickets were checked. The stewardesses then gave us a pair of wings. This flight was to Tokyo and the travel warning mentioned kaiju activities. Glancing into the seating area it was shaped like a luxury plane with windows and ample space to move around. At the back of the plane were seats wrapping around and the cabin was very beautifully decorated. Towards the front of the aircraft, there was a beautiful bar. The photos in the advertisements are not photoshopped the place is amazing. The stewardesses escorted us to our seats and they were very comfortable. Depending on group size you either get a small table for two or for 4. This reminded us of the movie Soul Plane lol. Kiki and Madie were our stewardesses on the flight and started us with a complimentary drink and some peanuts. As we were taking off you could see the plane taking off through the windows and you could feel vibrations on the floor as if the plane was rolling. Then once in the air they played a large selection of music. Keep an eye out the windows because you will see strange things like we spotted King Kong and then while in flight we saw Ghidorah fly by and I think I got a glimpse of Mothra, but was not sure. Kiki and Madie were amazing they kept the drinks flowing and we watched the captain make drinks because he was also the bartender. We then ran into turbulence and into a storm and spotted Godzilla, Mechagodzilla, and Ghidorah amidst the dark clouds and lightning. Then at this time the martini carts came around serving handcrafted martinis at your table side. After we got out of the dark clouds there was a tasty cookie and more drinks. The service was amazing. Kiki and Madie were Rockstars and were very efficient at their jobs. They provided light conversation and were knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations. When we got close to Tokyo and were ready to land there was a last call and we could see Tokyo from the windows as we did our final approach. The whole experience was well worth it and each flight is different. We spoke to some other passengers who have been on other flights and they can't get enough of it. The captain's quarters section in the front of the plane served some The flight time was 90 minutes and there is a bathroom on the plane. There is a parking garage in the same building so you don't have to walk far. Thank you, Captain, and thank you Kiki and Madie, for this amazing evening. read more

What a fun and unique concept! When I first booked this experience, I thought 90 minutes might feel a little long, but the cabin crew kept everyone entertained the entire time. Between the drinks, light snacks, and Martini time, there was never a dull moment. The playlist was full of bangers and really added to the atmosphere. The welcome drink was just okay, but the rest of the cocktails we ordered were delicious. Overall, such a memorable experience and definitely worth trying! read more

Super cute! getting a reservation is not easy- you have to sign up to get the link to the ticket drop. You have to sign up before Sunday which is when they send the link. Then Monday at 10am it opens and you need to be on the website on or before 10 to get in line. Time slots fill up super fast because it's a small venue. So it takes some planning and have back up dates/ times ready! Also it's even harder to get a 4 person res, 2 person reservations are easier. The theme is really fun and rotates. You all "board" at the same time and there are announcements from the pilots that support the flight location. Some entertaining views from the window occur too! The drinks and treats were also great- the cookies at the end were really good! I enjoyed our drinks and when I ordered one I didn't love they let me get a different one. They also have a martini cart that comes around with some Different options from the main menu. Overall loved it, would definitely recommend!! read more

We have been to Carry On a couple of times now, first for their flight to SFO which was a great experience. We were a little shocked by the price tag even after paying $50 for the initial reservations but for the experience, it was still very unique and enjoyed our time there.

Still definitely recommend going at least once! read more

We were so pumped for a blended night of world class tacos and a themed cocktail bar. With El Cafe de Leon we felt like this would be a no brainer. We were greeted warmly by the front staff at wren and wolf which is where you get your boarding passes. We then went around the corner to the "Orange Door" and waited for boarding. To our surprise there were no delays despite the rare weather we experienced here in phoenix so we were welcomed and seated. Going back in time is cool for the nostalgic for some that had experienced in the past. Despite being over 40 this was an experience style I never had which had me that much more appreciative of all the detail. From the napkins to the stemware, the high arching wood accents to the signage; everything made me feel like I also was being transported into another time We were given our complimentary cocktail which despite being a tequila base my wife even thought was tasty. After another round of drinks was ordered the engines fired on and we took off. Once in flight our drinks and the flight of tacos began to come. As we continued to eat sip and savor we just took it all in. Great music looking out the windows and marveling at the amazing staff now going around making martinis. Such a well oiled machine this concept really does make your experience feel like you're flying. IT truly is worth at least one visit. In closing I didn't have much to say about the food because well food is like art - it's subjective and that means that not everyone is going to have the same opinion since we all have different taste. Despite feeling like I know a good taco when I eat it I (we) didn't have that here and because this place isn't a restaurant and crushed what they do in the drink space is why I saw no reason for anything less than the rating I gave and I wish El Cafe de Leon the very best read more

Really cool experience. From the doors about to close for boarding (almost didn't make it) to the flight attendants and PA announcements, this definitely was an experience. We were greeted onboard with a welcome drink. The theme for this was Michelin pop up with a flight from San Francisco to Mexico that featured tacos. Unfortunately, this was a last minute invite from a friend due to another cancellation and I didn't realize the only tacos served were beef and pork which I don't eat. I still enjoyed a non alcoholic beverage and eventually ordered one alcoholic beverage as well! I've been wanting to try this spot since it opened and it's super hard to get into so glad my friend thought of me and I was able to experience it. I would definitely come back.

We dressed up for the occasion! It's a bit pricy but the whole experience is worth it ! The only reason for 4/5 is the tacos were all meat options and I'm half vegetarian so a fish or chicken would have been nice. But still overall experience was very nice !! read more

Pretty challenging snagging these reservations, but we got them. Very cute themed bar! I didn't know what to expect but this was pretty cool. We boarded the plane, greeted with a welcome cocktail and water. The pilot made announcements and we took off to the "North Pole". It def feels like you're inside of a plane... from the windows to the inside airplane noises. Ordered an Old Fashioned and took one sip..... (I'll explain below) We visited the speakeasy inside of Wren and Wolf AND had dinner/drinks at W&W. So Carry-On was our last stop (all connected)... without saying too much, we made the adult decision to leave before the flight "landed". Too much fun and too many drinks prior. ;-) read more

This is a beautiful bar with average drinks. All the drinks are premade so you can not request any modification. For a bar with so little tables, I'm surprised the bartender is not able to make a requested cocktail (you must stick to their program only). It's pretty but I wouldn't come back read more

We happen to go to this when it was Christmas themed so we were flying to the north pole and the signature drinks were all Christmas weather related. Because I can't do lactose very well I got the dairy free option and boy was it really good? My friend got the regular stuff and I was really jealous of the Fromager D'Affinois. The bites were good, but definitely not enough for a meal The only thing I didn't like about the hoax is that the majority of them were Miss Keller tequila related, which is not an alcohol that I like it all The kissing Santa Claus was good, but the sweater weather was just OK The martini was really good so definitely get a martini when they do the martini service. It was a fun experience and hopefully I get to do it again read more

This is such a special experience! They did an incredible job with the atmosphere to make it seem like you're actually on a flight. The cocktails are insane- so yummy. The service is pretty good and we loved the pilots announcements. We've been during a regular flight as well as during Christmas and it was worth going again during the holiday as they made some fun holiday additions. I was worried about getting reservations since there were five of us, but then realized with five or more you can pre-reserve which took away my stress! Only complaint is that it gets too loud with a full house. read more

Carry On is a unique immersive adventure that's absolutely worth experiencing at least once. Over the course of 90 minutes you're transported on a fun journey through themed "destinations," while sipping on classic cocktails and enjoying light snacks. The airplane-inspired setting--complete with fully costumed staff--adds just the right touch to make it perfect for a memorable date night or a fun outing with family and friends. We were especially excited to try the martinis, but were let down to find a few of the menu items were unavailable--even though we were on the first "flight" of the day. Still, the atmosphere and concept were so creative that it made for a truly entertaining escape. read more

What a unique experience! We've been to the train bar in Arcadia before and when we saw a collab with chilte we had to check it out. We got to wren and wolf around 7:10 and they had our "tickets" for us. When we got in front of carry on, we were the first ones in line. We expected to get on sooner because the tickets said 7:30 but I guess the time to actually go inside, not when takeoff is. We sat down and got welcome drinks and peanuts. About 10 minutes after they started to take drink orders. I'm a lightweight so I didn't get anything but my husband got the chilte collab drink. It tasted a lot like tomato and was super unique. The tuna tostada was great alongside the pepper on the side. We then got mole which was the star of the show. The mole was so unique and spicy, I'd never had a mole like that before. The flight was 4d in that it moved like a real airplane. They then come around for martini cart service. They shake it in front of you so we had to try the dirty martini togarashi. It was super unique and perfectly salty. We then got the chilte taco which was good but nothing special. The dessert however was amazing! It tasted like a cheesecake. We then "landed" - it was faster than I thought, as it's 1.5 hours but settling in and getting everyone inside takes a while. The bathroom was a cool airplane looking bathroom, but huge. The downside was that it was quite pricey, and the train bar has a booking cost but it goes to your drinks so I'll likely do that before coming here again. read more

Carry On has a tremendous marketing team that sells this experience as a classy cocktail lounge and creates social media posts full of elegant nostalgia. I want to hire this marketing team. The experience, however, is neither elegant nor nostalgic. First of all, it's impossible to find and nothing on the website or in the correspondence indicates where you should park, where you should go, or how to find it. It's not a speakeasy so why all the secrecy? Second, it's very rushed and very tacky. We opted for the captain's table not realizing we would be expected to consume 4 cocktails in only 90 minutes. They offer a martini service, which wasn't bad, but somehow NOT part of the $100 per person cost. So, we paid $100 per person for a French 75 that was not drinkable, had one cocktail and then had to pay $36 more for a round of martinis. The Gyoza and beef weren't bad, just very small. There's also prerecorded messages from the captain that are not just obnoxious but, at times, inappropriate. Jokes about a Malaysian mechanical team are tone deaf under the circumstances. Overall, it was very rushed and not worth the price. If you're looking for something sort of different, and appreciate gimmicky concepts and very sweet craft cocktails, this might suit you, but I personally wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I was embarrassed I fell for the marketing. If you still think it's worth a try, make sure you get specific directions and parking instructions in advance and sign up for the most basic ticket they offer. read more

From the moment you walk in the attention to detail is incredible and unparalleled, aside from their other ironically named Pretty Decent Concepts. The food is superb. Perfect for light bites paired with a cocktail, but it definitely leaves you wanting more! The Martini card is an added bonus, but their Cocktail creations are so satisfying! read more

Carry On is quite the experience that starts with grabbing your boarding pass at Wren and Wolf. Flight attendant and pilot greeted us, opened the door and gave us our flight wings and escorted us to our seats. We were given our free drink that was a nice orange color but taste was not for me and my friend. We ordered a cosmopolitan and we took off to Tokyo! While in flight we enjoyed the ambiance and then the martini cart came by and we ordered a dirty martini. Not the best martini I've ever had, but not bad. They have a dedicated bartender, a pilot that provides fun updates throughout the flight and flight attendants decked out in 60's style uniforms. It's a fun experience. Not cheap, but fun! read more

This was a really fun night out. My MIL booked this for us and we had such a great experience. She missed it but you pick up your tickets at Wren & Wolf. From the moment we stepped onboard we were treated to great customer service. All of the flight attendants were really nice and made sure we were good. The starting drink was tasty as were all of the other drinks we ordered. The cookies were sooooo good. So good! Our total time in was about 90 minutes, they start and stop on time. You get the flight experience with the announcements and shaky seats if you're seated in a booth. The pictures in the window simulate an actual plane ride and add to your experience. The "cabin" area is fairly small with only about 12 or so tables. Plan ahead if you're thinking about going but definitely go. It was so much fun. read more

We had such a fun night at Carry On. We knew exactly what to expect going in, and it completely delivered. When you arrive, you check in at Wren and Wolf to get your boarding pass, then walk around the corner to the Carry On door. They open the door promptly at boarding time and everyone boards together. Once inside, you're seated and greeted with a welcome cocktail that isn't overly sweet. It's really fun that all the staff are dressed like pilots and flight attendants. When the flight begins, the windows of the plane appear to open and you see different views as you travel during the experience. The ambience inside is super cool, and the attention to detail is impressive....you even know when someone is using the restroom! This weekend's route was NYC to Tokyo, and I loved the themed cocktails. The chocolate martini was fantastic, and my husband really enjoyed their version of a Penicillin cocktail. A tip for getting tickets: you need to sign up for Carry On well in advance so you receive the ticket drop email that comes on Sundays. Then on Monday morning you log in to purchase your time slot (around 10 AM). I recommend logging in about 20-30 minutes early to get in the queue. There are only a few booths for four people, so if you're booking for a party of four, definitely try to grab tickets early. There seemed to be more openings for tables of two. One thing to keep in mind: there is no food offered (unless you buy the upgraded experience) so I recommend eating before you go. They do provide some wasabi peanuts at take off and a couple of cookies at the end, but that's it. We knew that ahead of time, so we were prepared. Overall, it was a great experience and we would absolutely do it again when they offer a new destination. read more

Everything about Carry On was AMAZING!!!! The next time I come to Phoenix I probably will do this again. You need tickets for this plane themed bar and you have to book in advance. The ambiance of it all was incredible. Everything mimics the airplane. I was called a couple days ahead of my booking to see if I'd be willing to change my reservation time, as the system had overbooked for the slot I had originally booked. As a reward for picking a different slot, I was upgraded to the Captain's Club! I'm so grateful that it ended up working out that way because the experience was just so satisfying. The drinks were some of the best drinks I've had! They didn't skimp out on the alcohol! You really do get what you pay for! I don't eat lobster or crab and the chef accommodated me by modifying my light bites. There's so much I could say about this place but you literally have to go and experience it for yourself! 10/10 I definitely recommend! read more

I think carry on lives up to the hype Here's my thoughts. From the second you "check in," you're transported- complete with turbulence, mood lighting, cute branding and cocktail carts. I went with the Captain's Club ($100/person) which includes: Welcome cocktail + snacks 3 craft cocktails of your choice 4-course tasting menu ... and IMO, it's totally worth it if you're planning on having a few drinks each. Pro tip: Do the martini service. They roll out the cart like you're in first class and shake it tableside. Food-wise, it could use some work tbh. And they are small bites so don't expect this to be a full meal. King Crab Louie - fresh + delicious Lobster Arancini - more cheese than lobster, and a little cold Oaxacan Beef Crostini - flavorful but cold bread threw it off White Chocolate Passionfruit Tart - dreamy and paired perfectly with cocktails Fave drinks: - The Vodka Drink, Pornstar Martini (from the martini cart!), Old Fashioned. But The Newgroni was a skip for me Whether you go all in with the Captain's Club or stick with general boarding ($40 for 2 guests w/ welcome drink + snack), it's a super fun, super unique night read more
