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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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!
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. Each collab is unique so if you see a "flight" that interests you, jump on their newsletter to get the registration link as soon as it launches.
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.
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.
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!

The prices are the only reason I won't come back. If they make the prices of drinks much less or remove the ticket fee of $25 per person then I could definitely see myself bringing others. Now as far as a one time experience I think it was so fun. It's something everyone should do once. The drinks were simple, but tasty. The "complimentary" cocktail wasn't strong enough for my liking. The service was great and the atmosphere was so cute. Overall really happy going. Just won't be returning until some changes are made. read more

What an amazing experience from start to finish! I can't stop raving about this place. They truly take you back in time to the 1970s and every detail is crafted with so much thought and creativity. The drinks were amazing and hospitality was incredible. You really feel like you're in a jet. The cabin is very ambient and makes for just a great overall chit chat vibe. Everyone should experience Carry On! read more

OH MY GOSH. If you are in Scottsdale for a weekend or if you live here, you need to book a ticket and get your boarding pass for Carry On! You enter through Wren + Wolf. We flew in Friday night and when we arrived at Carry On it looked and legitimately felt like we were on another flight! I don't want to give the entire experience away, but it was an experience I would do again! We were welcomed with Welcome Drinks--the signature drink has tequila and they were beyond accommodating and brought me one with vodka instead and even swapped out a friends for a mocktail. We loved the subtle penguin motif throughout from the boarding pass to the shaker. Our stewardesses were beyond friendly and helpful with their recommendations! I don't drink a lot but the Vodka drink was DELISH and not too overpowering, but my personal favorite was the Pomegranate Martini mocktail. I wasn't sure what it was going to taste like with some of the ingredients but do yourself a favor and order that drink! I had 2 and am still dreaming of it. It was hands down the best mocktail I've ever had + I consider myself a mocktail connoisseur. Our group also had a manhattan, old fashioned, yuzu high ball mocktail, White Russian & pornstar martini. The group favorites were the pomegranate martini for the girls + the old fashioned & White Russian for the guys. If I could rate this experience 100 stars, I would. read more

Ok, this speakeasy was so amazing. From getting our boarding passes next-door, to walking in and getting wing pins and sitting down and having a complementary cocktail waiting for us, it was a delightful experience. The seats move when there's turbulence announced by the captain, the imagery on the screens in the windows looked very realistic and super fun. The bar and the outfits of the staff were awesome. The best part were the delicious cocktails. The tableside martini service was amazing. I will definitely be going back. read more

Carry On is a great name for the bar...as in if you're considering going, you should "carry on" and find a different place. We were super, super excited to take our first "flight" after waiting for this bar to open since first reading about it months ago. It has a ton of potential but fell flat in almost every category. The drink menu is not flexible AT ALL! The drinks were very overpriced and very average. You'll have to explain me how a "White Russian" looks like an old-fashioned and tastes like a super-sweet espresso martini. The intimate ambience is kind of cool but other than the windows changing every few minutes, it doesn't feel like you're on a plane. It feels like you're in a tiny room, with fancy lighting and furniture. It's pretty packed in there so if you wanted to talk to somebody that's not sitting directly next to you, you're out of luck. The reservation fee which covers a welcome cocktail and a tiny cup of peanuts and the smallest cookies you've even seen is a total a rip-off. At the end of the night, we ended up spending a total of $185 for 5 very average cocktails that we ordered and 3 welcome cocktails that were pre-made and waiting for us when we arrived. If your goal is to be "Insta-famous" than this place is right up alley, but if you're looking for an amazing cocktail experience, there are much better options in the Valley. read more
Vveerryyyy cute speakeasy I must stay and vveerryyyy hard to get tickets to lol we went in the first couple weeks of opening. You were greeted by lovely host given a complementary pin and then take to your seat on the plane when you "take off you" can visually see through your window. You're plane taking off and the cities you cross through. The visuals are a nice touch and there is a phone you can listen to comical feedback. The drinks were cool in my preference some tasted similar to other speakeasies I've been to. They have a martini hour where "flight" attendants come by and hand shake and pout customized martinis or pre selected cosmos/manhattan. The snack given was the common peanut my friend loved and at the end a cookie for farewell.... This I would say is a good experience to see or take an out of town friend to but once was good enough for me. Very cute concept, Very nice staff, not worthy of the booking fee plus drinks. Side note we were a table of 3 so a $56 after fees and all bookings fee which really didn't apply to the drinks you ordered rather the complimentary drink, carry on pin, peanuts and, cookie. But once again I would say it is a Good one time Experience read more

Really cool experience and a different twist to the speakeasy style experiences downtown. The process to get the reservation was nail biting but ultimately was successful. The service was really great from start to finish. The cost of drinks were what you would expect around $18 a drink with a large ice cube meaning very little actual drink inside. With that the drinks were really good so A+ to the bartenders. The vibe was really cool and the little details from the boarding pass to the pin made the experience much more elevated. My only complaint with all of these cocktail bars is lack of small bite options. read more

After looking at the other reviews of the less than five stars it was because they didn't get tickets so don't let the four stars fool you. If you get tickets it is a five star experience. From when you arrive and get your wings to the service it was so much fun. The ambiance was incredible and I loved the messages from the Captain. The food was delicious and the drinks were great. I had the Woody and then the White Russian. It was so good I ordered another one. Can someone send me the recipe. If you are lucky enough to get tickets you will have a great experience. read more

It's a theme ride for adults that serves alcohol. What more could you ask for? Ok it's not really a real theme ride but an experience bar that is themed as a 1970s luxury jet. It's a great time especially for out of town guests. read more

Carry On is now one of my top 5 favorite cocktail bars. Service was fantastic and the drinks were amazing. My girlfriend and I had 4 cocktails each plus 1 complimentary welcome drink. 90mins was plenty of time. The theme of the 70s airplane was super cute and well done. Lighting was just right and music wasn't too loud. Very cool and interactive experience. read more

Is there free parking?
Yes. You can find free parking downtown, but you'll have to walk a bit. The bar itself does not have parking.
Are there non-alcoholic cocktail offerings?
Yes, they do have a few non-alcoholic drinks available.
Do they sell food? If not, is there a good place near by for food?
No they don't unless you get the "captains club" but then they just bring you a few "small bites" - you don't get to choose the food. Tons of places nearby, specifically Wren and Wolf but search Cityscape dining and you'll see other places.
The money you place down for reservations does it go towards your drink bill like the same at wren and wolf?
