Wow! What a hidden gem?!?!…read more Dive bar vibes meets craft cocktails like from Platform 18...make it make sense! I googled "bars in or around Arcadia" and this gem popped up and I am so glad we checked this place out! We will most definitely be back. We had to check twice that we ended up in the right spot as it looks so inconspicuous from the outside but don't let it fool you. This place slaps if you're a cocktail connoisseur. Don't forget to pull up their secret menu. Their bartender was legit--the type of guy that could make any cocktail based on what spirit you like--which is phenomenal. The vibes and ambience were immaculate. We added it to our list of places to keep on REPEAT when in PHX. Check this place out!

Hey man, this place was a welcome surprise. Came here on the late night while staying in Biltmore…read more It seemed like everything else in the area closed at 10 PM. We were hungry settled on this place to meet a friend for drinks. Service was great. It's small narrow what I would describe as a faux dive bar. They have cigarette machines with Zen and vapes in them. They were playing hip-hop. It gave off very millennial vibes. Food was good especially the Glizzy menu. And the fries taste hand cut, and fresh. I had the chili dog fries we also had some potato skins and some delicious hot wings. Staff service was great. Be warned the place is small. Great for an intimate gathering with some friends.

Really good drinks and there are some really unique ones - the Kyoto in Winter came in a very cute teacup, for example! There's a decent mocktail selection, which I appreciated as the DD. We really loved the Knotty Boyz (Garlic Parmesan) - if we hadn't eaten recently we might've ordered more to share!

I have been thinking about this place since I dined here for the first time…read more Fast-paced service and great pizza slices are $3 on happy hour. I tried the Korean BBQ pizza which was really good. They had a special pizza...The Baked Potato. So happy they offer slices to try. This was pretty tastey with the seasoned potatoes on it. I particularly appreciated that they did not over potato the slice lol. The best part about the pizza in general is that the crust is light and soft. I usually prefer heavy cheese on my pizza but their was just right. I tried the Son of a B*t@# I'm In cocktail that is on happy hour for $10. The simple yet clean ingredients caught my eye...gin, aperol, elderflower, lime l, and honey made for a very refreshing drink. Also, I've been on a kick to enjoy cocktails with no ice, so this was perfect.

Dive bar in the middle of Arcadia…read more First off - they have photo hunt, IYKYK. Classic game from 2000's, very hard to find these days. They also have 1 pool table and karaoke on Tuesday Nights. Lots of locals here and it's a nice change from all the high end bars around, service was good. Bathroom were okay, single bathroom for men and single bathroom for women.

If you are looking for a dive bar this is your spot…read more It's super casual, the drinks are really cheap and it's in the middle of a strip mall. They even have a hotdog warmer behind the bar with chips! After 5pm or so on Fridays it can get really busy + the weekends but it's always such a fun spot to hangout, play pool, and just have a drink or two! One other thing, the location is really nice because it's in the middle of most of the city (Arcadia ish). Parking can get a little crazy the later you show up too!

Great vibes and good people. Plays music that caters to all crowds!…read more No food menu but they do have hot dogs lol

I do love the Swizzle! As I mentioned before, drinks are strong and cheap. They also have a good…read moreselection of tequila and whiskey -- so that is appreciated. This last time I went to Swizzle it was on a Saturday night and I didn't get there until 10pm and it was off the chain with no where to park or sit. When people get talking it is really loud inside and you can't hear the touchtunes. People were getting wild and that was super fun. There was a also a little food stand outside in the parking lot, which is really good for a bunch of drinking folks!!

Swizzle is the kind of dive bar you hope to stumble into -- and never want to leave…read more Plenty of TVs with every game on, great prices, and a laid-back crowd that makes it easy to relax and have fun. The staff here absolutely crush it -- friendly, quick with a drink, and they make you feel like a regular even if it's your first time walking in. The place has that perfect dive-bar charm: cool lighting, fun decor, and just the right amount of energy without feeling overcrowded. Tonight they even had a food contest going on, which made the whole night a blast. Honestly, I've seen a few of those one-star reviews and can't help but think those folks must've had a bad day -- because Swizzle is exactly what a neighborhood bar should be: chill, affordable, and full of good vibes. If you're looking for a spot to watch the game, hang with friends, or just unwind after work, this is it. Swizzle is an easy five stars.

The atmosphere was unique, the bartenders were genuinely engaging, and there was a real sense of community that made every visit memorable. It became my go-to spot to bring friends from out of town and every single person I brought absolutely loved it! Back then, the cocktails felt intentional and creative, not just rushed out for volume. The staff remembered regulars, conversations flowed naturally, and the whole place had this warm, eclectic energy that made you want to stay for hours. Even on busy nights, it somehow still felt personal. Unfortunately, over the last couple of years, the vibe has changed quite a bit. The drinks just aren't as consistently good as they used to be, especially considering the prices now. Service feels far more transactional and impersonal, and the atmosphere that once made this place stand out has faded into something much more generic. It feels less like a neighborhood gem and more like a stop on a nightlife circuit.

Little Woody fulfilled these roles exceptionally. They offer complimentary valet (that accept tip through Venmo or cash). The foods were also tasty. We arrived around 8pm and snagged a booth but by 10pm it was super crowded with a lot of people wearing holiday attire! There were multiple rooms with ample seating, pool, and a DJ! I ordered the $12 Santa's surf shop (Bacardi rum, blue Corso, coconut, lime, pineapple, coconut rim) off their seasonal menu and the $14 Petal & Poise (strawberry infused aviation gin, elderflower liquer, kiwi, fresh lemon, topped with bubbles) off their specialty cocktail menu. We also shared the $13 spinach and artichoke dip with tortilla chips and pesto chicken flat bread (pesto, roasted chicken, mozzarella, Parmesan). The drinks were sooooo tasty and sweet with all of the flavors blending together well! Overall impressed with the affordability and lively atmosphere at this spot and would definitely be back!
