My only problem was a went…read moreon a really dead night (Monday)and there was hardly anyone there, but on the flip side I had full control of the TouchTunes! They had lots of fun looking drinks but I just stuck with a vodka/cran. It was strong but not overwhelming like some dive bars. I loved all the funny signs around the bar and the bartender, Joy was very friendly. I want to check out another night when there are more people. Just as a side note, the parking lot was a bit sketchy -- I arrived around 730pm on a Monday so it wasn't very late -- There is a weird split in the parking lot one side is the Aldi side (which seemed more populated with people going in and out of the store) and the other side is a bunch of shops that were closed . There were some interesting people chilling out in their cars and yelling to each other when I came out - I was by myself and felt a little sketched by it, but I was fine.

The Rooster has an upscale dive bar feel with a welcoming vibe and eclectic décor that makes it feel both fun and comfortable. I was told I had to try the frozen espresso martini, and it did not disappoint. It was creamy, rich, and absolutely delicious. It was definitely like a dessert! After that, I asked what other frozen drinks were on the menu and was told about the frozen orange creamsicle with vodka. Of course, I had to try it and wow, it was fantastic! Refreshing, citrusy, and perfect for a warm day. We had already eaten lunch, so we only stopped in for drinks, but all of the food coming out of the kitchen looked great. We did order the fried pickles to share, and they were very good. We'll definitely be back to The Rooster to watch a game and enjoy another frozen espresso martini or orange creamsicle sometime soon.

The place was completely packed on a Friday night and there was no standing room, but luckily someone gave us seats and then we were greeted by the most amazing bartender I've ever met in my life.

The Oaxaca Asada- perfectly savory and balanced- wow. Pornstar Highball- crushable- all the flavors of a pornstar martini but so delicious and more approachable. Monsoon Season- spicy clarified mai tai- loved that you could specify the spice level. Garrett and Kenzey went above and beyond with service. I also got to try the strawberry fernet and Anna's play on a daiquiri and her exquisite bramble shot. Everything was thoughtful- balanced and above and beyond in the flavor department. It's nice to see this bar crank on a busy Saturday. I cannot wait to be back and try more cocktails. Truly pushing the boundaries and the cocktails truly were the best I have tried in the past two years in Phoenix. Keep it up Sunny's - I will be back ASAP.

Will definitely be back!

I met my brother there and since we were early we decided to get a bite to eat. There were some other dudes who'd bikes were there for the shoot as well and they told us the Playa had the best burgers in the WORLD so we decided to check it out. This was, what I would call the epitome of a neighbor hood bar. A dive bar or mini sports bar or whatever. My favorite kind. The bar tenders were awesome and they treated their customers just like family. Of course a few of those family members might be considered the black sheep so they had to put them in their places but it was all in good fun. We both ordered a burger with fries. First off, the fries were out of this world good! Perfect crisp on the outside and perfect soft on the inside with some sort of coating that made them amazing! Now the burgers? The best in the WORLD burgers?! Well I can't confirm they are the best in the world, because I haven't been everywhere IN the world but let me say, this was probably one of the best burgers I have ever had! Thick with just the right amount of juicy and the flavor was crazy good. The bun looked like a regular old sesame seed bun but it was slightly denser but not too heavy and it complimented the overall pallet experience perfectly. We sat there talking about these burgers and fries like we had hadn't eaten in 5 years plus we were very entertained by the bar tenders and the college football championship games that were on TV. 5 stars for sure, so if you are ever in the area of 32st and Shea blvd, stop in and grab yourself an amazing lunch or dinner!

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.

There was a also a little food stand outside in the parking lot, which is really good for a bunch of drinking folks!!

Indoor seating is limited, but there's plenty of room to spread out on the spacious outdoor patio.

If you get hungry, Tony's Bites food truck is right there serving up delicious grilled food to go with your drinks! Nothing fancy, just a laid-back Scottsdale staple with cold drinks, a lively patio, and plenty of character. Exactly what a good dive bar should be!
