Filthy Martini Bar is the tucked-away counterpart to the big, five-star (and $$$$$) Cleaverman steakhouse up front -- a little speakeasy-style room in the back with a separate entrance that is not immediately obvious, but absolutely worth finding. Like the stakehouse, the martini bar space is meticulously designed, down to custom staff uniforms that match the upholstery, and the whole place has a classy, better-dress-up-for-it feel. Service was impeccable on both visits, the mood was light and relaxing, and the live music added a lot to the ambiance. On quieter nights, a soloist is just the right touch. The martini list is strong right out of the gate and they'll customize to your liking. Presentation is excellent, and the whole experience feels thoughtful and elevated. Great for a date, a business drink/dinner, or even a solo stop when you want something polished but comfortable. The happy hour is essential and happens twice every night, right at opening and just before the closing. read more

A time was had at Filthy martini. We went to this location on a Friday evening since we were downtown and wanted to have a few cocktails. They do participate in happy hour at this location, including on a Friday evening. We did not have a reservation, but there was room for us available at the bar. It was also first Friday so the area was kinda of busy. If you want to ensure that you have a table. I would recommend getting a reservation. On this occasion, we tried a few of their signature cocktails. Some delicious french fries, and some oysters. All in all, we were really satisfied with the food options on the happy hour menu. There were a few other selections that you could purchase that were not on the happy hour menu, but also look good. I would love to come back and try the charcuterie board. This place is super cute. We left before the live music started, but it seems like that is an option. We really liked our bartender. He was really fantastic. His technique when it came to mixing up the drinks was 10 out of 10. This place is connected to the steakhouse. It is a prime location right in Arizona Center. They do offer two hours of validated parking. So if you do choose to park in the attached garage, make sure to bring your ticket cause they will give you a sticker that gives you two hours a complimentary parking. read more

Entrance is everything, you're always told make a bold entrance stand out and be you and don't apologize for it. At Filthy the name is bold but this space is prestigious, warm, inviting, exciting, and surprisingly cozy! You enter in to rich wood warm lighting a long hallway that begs the anticipation for what's through the doors as you walk past aged steaks. As the doors open a room lined with velvet, draped perfectly to catch the light, sconces balanced and a bar focused on you not them! We were seated and helped to water, menus, and Anastasia introduced herself. She asked great questions encouraging us to modify if allergies were present and we were concerned that something looked good but couldn't be done. After my wife mentioned she wasn't drinking alcohol and I ordered a martini she brought us 2 glasses of zero proof prosecco as we were celebrating our anniversary! We asked for the cleaverman menu and were also brought that, they don't recommend it as the 90 minute experience is necessary for timely transitions for others to enjoy but if you ask they'll gladly accommodate which was awesome! If you do get there at opening they have a one hour window of happy hour till 6 with great $10 offerings of plates and drink, one of which was the oysters and damn they were huge and delicious! We also ordered the Cordon Blue Croquettes (little too salty for us) Brussel Sprouts, baked potato rolls and the Prime rib all to share. Everything came out in a perfect wave to slowly enjoy and that we did. Besides the croquettes which weren't bad everything was great but that Prime Rib... WOW! We ordered medium rare and it wasn't the pinkish center but the cool red throughout overloaded with flavor, the melt in your mouth rendered fat with great dips to compliment if you like. We passed on dessert as we were headed off to the baseball game but this is a must if you're a steak fan or a bar experience fan. The only thing that might have made it better would have been live music, which was about to kickoff so I guess I should say they have thought of everything it's just the live music starts a little closer to 6:30, I'd also like to mention this place doesn't overwhelm you with noise! The music level was perfect to where we didn't have to shout at each other which from a few other places we've been is loud and maybe cus I'm in my 40's now but a bit of an annoyance. All in all can't for the life of me understand why this place is anything but top shelf in the food scene right now Pretty Descent Concepts crushed this experience and I hope you set aside time to go live it up a little bit. It's worth it read more

Super cute and vibey - be sure to make a reservation! My boyfriend and I ate at Cleaverman for dinner and asked our server about checking out filthy martini. Just by our luck she was able to squeeze us in for an hour to check out the spot. Even though we only had an hour, we were still able to try a couple of drinks each and check out a little bit of the live music. We will definitely have to come back here. Even though we are not martini people they had probably the best version of a espresso martini that I've ever had and I wanna say it had some sort of cheese sprinkled on the top. read more

Made a reservation here for a mini birthday celebration with just another friend of mine. Entrance is the same as the Cleaverman. We were greeted by the sweet hostesses who walked us back to the filthy martini bar, where we had a booth for the night (my favorite!). Very pretty decor, lighting, and ambience. Felt very fancy! We got lucky as we got there at 7, which is when they have live music, a talented gentleman played piano throughout the night! Quick peruse of the menu and the sweet servers got our drink and food order. We started with the 'swingers' martini which tasted quite sweet but not too overpowering. Will definitely order that again! The oysters were incredible and I appreciated that they were smaller, it also came with lots of options for toppings. The truffle fries were so delicious!! Definitely order those truffle fries no matter what!! The lobster roll was good but wouldn't order again, the old bay fries tasted good as well. For dessert, we opted for their pineapple rum cake I believe, which tasted amazing! Very fresh and light. Such an incredible experience, can't wait to come back! Great service, drinks, ambience, and food! read more

Absolutely phenomenal cocktail spot, easily in my top 3 favorites of Phoenix. First and foremost, the environment and ambiance of this place is unmatched. I feel like I walked into the 1900s and experienced a real underground martini bar. They have jazz bands playing on weekends and live performances throughout the week, which really brings the whole experience together. Secondly, the food is a must. I don't usually order food at bars, especially cocktail or upscale bars, because you don't typically get a whole lot of bang for your buck. But this place has an incredible kitchen, with the beef tartare and truffle fries being the single best bar food items I've ever had. Ordering a small bite is an absolute must if you go. Finally: the cocktails. I mean, I don't know where they find these bartenders but Pretty Decent Concepts always always always hires the greatest staff around. Their menu is expansive already but I was putting the bar staff to the test, requesting some pretty niche cocktails. He didn't hesitate to make something custom and perfect to my liking, which has been the case every time I come to this place. The wait and hosting staff are incredible too, as always. Filthy, you're added to my list of Phoenix Restaurant Greats. I'll be back very soon. read more

The duck fat fries are ridiculous! The pieces of duck in the fries were a very nice surprise and I told our waitress "Daffy Duck tasted really good, who would've known!?" And she loved that the lobster rolls?! Listen if I could eat without getting fat, I'd go and have these regularly. Good lord. The drinks were very tasty too and the whole interior basically feeling like I transported into the 70s has me sold for the foreseeable future. read more

Great vibe but the kitchen doesn't match the price point We spent over $1600 between Cleaverman's and Filthy last week and the discrepancy between the atmosphere and the food is glaring. Like Cleaverman's, the ambiance here at Filthy is top-tier and the service was great, but as a former restaurant owner and operator from the Bay Area, the kitchen quality is a major disappointment. For the amount of money being charged, the execution just isn't there. We don't mind paying for a premium night out, but we expect the food to be at that same level. Right now, you have a beautiful venue with high-end service, but the kitchen is an afterthought. It seems to be a recurring theme with these spots. If the ownership doesn't start focusing on sourcing and quality control, the stunning decor won't be enough to keep people coming back for a second meal. I'm hoping to see the culinary side eventually catch up to the front-of-house. Onique service was amazing. Bree's band was great. That's the stars. read more

Nice addition to downtown Phx. Live music (piano/vocalist the night we were there), warm lighting, small menu of bites and drinks (including a few n/a options). We lucked out getting seats at the bar late night, mid-week before the kitchen closed. The space is cozy, tho, so safer to make a reservation. Drinks are a bit pricey, but they come with live entertainment. Caesar salad was fine- fresh greens and heavy dressing that just tasted meh. The lobster roll, however, was fab. Tender chunks of buttery lobster meat tucked into brioche roll with a side of crispy fries- yes, please! read more

Loved the vibes of this place! I will say Apple Maps doesn't take you to the right place so it was tricky to find but I found it tucked next to valet. I knew with it being new the service would be slow which it was but our waitress did a great job considering how hectic it was! The cordon blew croquettes ARE AN ABSOLUTE MUST ORDER!!! So delicious I had to order 2 servings!!! My matcha mocktail was yummy although I did feel the mocktails should be $10-$11 not $14 since there's no alcohol in it. The music was great too! It was a fun place to try and glad I got To experience it! The fries were yummy too they just took a long time to receive for my friend but I'm sure service will get faster through time read more

We made reservations to come here for after our fabulous dinner at Cleaverman. Love the ambiance and vibe. It's like stepping into another era. Lots of unique drink options, some small bites and desserts, and they even had a live band performing. Our server was super sweet and attentive even though they were pretty busy on the Saturday night we attended. Only complaint is that it was super cold inside so we were freezing and I actually ordered hot tea to warm up. Such a great addition to downtown Phoenix! read more

Wow! This hidden gem is located in the newly opened Cleaverman Steakhouse at Arizona Center. The craft cocktail menu is great, but you can order just about anything. Stunning decor! Shout out to Ruben and Nikki for the amazing drinks. They even have a glass chiller! Let's not forget the live jazz music! A great place for a before or after dinner drink. Enjoyed sitting at the bar watching them make the drinks. Great ambience and friendly staff. read more

After dinner at cleaverman's we asked if we could go to the filthy martini bar and they were kind enough to walk us there. Amazing service. Walking in, it was very classy and rich. Velvet chairs, details on the swans on the bar and on the menu. Everything was thought of. The bar tender was very nice and made our drinks to perfection. The espresso martini had grated cheese on top that at first I thought was odd but after a few sips it was actually a great pairing. read more

This is such a fun, cozy, chic place! My sister-in-law took my husband and I here for a belated birthday celebration. The pretty decent martini is so yum (ask for blue cheese olives!) The menu is made for sharing so we started with oysters and then got the Caesar salad, truffle fries, and the lobster rolls. The lobster rolls weren't everyone's favorite but everything else was great. They did bring me a birthday dessert which was the Dubai chocolate mousse which was insanely good! There was a pianist and a band which made it all the more fun. We'll definitely be back! read more

Extraordinary night at Filthy. In town for work and meeting up with a friend from college, this was close and looked perfect for a catch up. The space is incredible. A cross between Boogie Nights and the bar in The Shining. The details are incredible. Bartenders wear matching velvet/velour jackets, come onnnn. I tried the Pretty Decent martini to start and it was perfect. The Cleverman was ever better. To round out my evening, I asked for an Amaro Montenegro spritz and it was spectacular. We didn't eat food, but everything sounded good. Definitely bump this up on your list!! read more

It was a great experience until they tried to move us over to Cleaverman. A hostess brought us over to Cleaverman and just left us. Thankfully our server talked to the GM and got us a spot (finish this part on their review.) The drinks at Filthy were delicious. The singer and 2 piece band were excellent. We tried the lobster roll which was just ok not great. The Perfect Concept Martini was quite delicious with their homemade brine. Definitely need reservations and hopefully they learn to communicate better. read more

This was a cute lil speakeasy to check out with a group of friends. We came a little later around 10:30pm so it wasn't too busy. Hostess was attentive, but probably in the way they wanted to hurry up and get out, which is valid Prices were as on the pricier end, but as you would expect from an establishment like this. Martini was good, i think velvet vice was my favorite. read more

Tucked away behind an unassuming entrance, this martini speakeasy offers an experience that feels both intimate and transportive--like stepping into another era where elegance and ambiance take center stage. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere immediately sets the tone. The lighting is dim yet intentional, casting a warm, golden glow that dances across polished surfaces and velvet textures. It's the kind of lighting that flatters everyone and invites you to settle in, linger, and truly savor the moment. The décor leans into classic speakeasy charm with a refined, modern twist. Plush seating, gold accents, it was very carefully curated and a space that feels luxurious without being pretentious. Every detail--from the arrangement of the bar to the subtle art pieces adorning the walls--feels thoughtfully designed to enhance the overall mood. It strikes a beautiful balance between cozy and sophisticated, making it equally suitable for an intimate date night or a stylish evening out with friends. One of the standout features of the evening was undoubtedly the live entertainment. The soft, melodic notes of the piano filled the room with a richness that elevated the entire experience. Paired with a live singer whose voice carried both warmth and emotion, the music became more than just background noise--it became the heartbeat of the space. The performance added a layer of elegance and charm that is increasingly rare to find, making the night feel truly special. Of course, the star of the show was the martini selection. Each drink was crafted with precision and creativity, delivering a perfect balance of flavors. Whether classic or innovative, the cocktails were consistently smooth, well-balanced, and undeniably indulgent. Every sip felt intentional, as if the mixologist had carefully considered not just taste, but the overall experience of the drink. It's clear that great care goes into the beverage program, and it certainly does not go unnoticed. That said, while the ambiance and drinks were exceptional, the service left a bit to be desired. The staff, while polite, lacked the attentiveness and warmth that would have truly elevated the experience to the next level. There were moments where service felt slightly slow or disconnected, which stood out more given the otherwise high-end atmosphere. A bit more engagement and responsiveness would have made the evening feel seamless. Unfortunately, we didn't have the opportunity to try the food, which leaves a bit of curiosity about how the culinary offerings compare to the rest of the experience. Given the quality of the drinks and the overall aesthetic, it's certainly something worth exploring on a future visit. Overall, this martini speakeasy delivers a memorable and visually stunning experience, highlighted by impeccable drinks, captivating live music, and a beautifully curated setting. While the service could use some refinement, it doesn't overshadow what is ultimately a very pleasant and worthwhile night out. It's the kind of place you leave already thinking about when you might return. read more

Amazing martini and cocktail lounge hidden within Cleaverman Steakhouse. Gorgeous atmosphere and feels as if you've been transported to another era and into an upscale swanky lounge. Love that there is live music which really elevates the place. Nice array of martini's and cocktails on the menu. Love the pretty decent martini as it has a bit of heat to it. Even though it was a bit busy, bartenders and service was great and able to walk you through the menu to find the right drink for you. read more

Has the potential to be a great spot, but not managed well.. The fake exclusivity is off putting and the band on this particular night (4/3/26) couldn't get it together. They took way too long getting to the point of actually being able to play anything while the singer was way more interested in socializing with his friends. read more

Such a great space with one of the best martinis in town. The service is always spot on and inviting.

Korey, one of the beautiful hostesses was amaaaaaazing! Josh at the bar made some amazing drinks! What an amazing night. And we didn't even get to the actual dinner experience in the main dining room yet - that's at 9:30p. Here's my update from my Cleaverman review... THE FILTHY MARTINI BAR is easily a whole vibe (as the kids say!). We decided to start our night at the speakeasy style Filthy Martini Bar next door first. It's slightly tucked away on 3rd Street near valet, inconspicuous enough to feel exclusive but easy to find if you're looking. First Impressions: I walked in at 8 PM and was greeted by three absolutely stunning hostesses, dressed impeccably and giving luxury lounge energy right away. I knew instantly I was in the right place to drop a good amount of coin, and not be too upset about it - because you will spend a bit, so enjoy it. A very special shout-out to hostess, Korey, who was warm, polished, and incredibly helpful. She explained clearly that the bar was fully booked and seating wasn't guaranteed but still welcomed me in when I told her my friends were already inside as they just finished their 6:30p reservation at the Cleaverman - also, I shared that I called earlier in the day and was advised by Cleaverman staff that there was open seating at the bar. Korey managed the flow, the rules, and the timing with grace. I truly felt taken care of. Cocktails, Music, and Vibe: We had eight cocktails among the three of us and every single one was divine. The bartenders were friendly and beautiful, and the drinks came out perfectly made. The live jazz band (with a phenomenal songstress) was fantastic! The vocalist had real presence, chose old and new remakes of songs we all know and love and gave it a new age edge that wasn't your grandfather's jazz - the instrumentalists were tight. The whole bar felt sexy, sultry, and polished. Overall, Filthy Martini Bar is an absolute unexpected addition to downtown Phoenix that we have certainly been missing. read more

I will say the ambiance is wonderful. We had a group of 6 and were the first seating and one of the first to order cocktails. Between the 6 of us we tried almost every cocktail on the menu. We unfortunately waited about 45min for our first round of drinks, so we quickly ordered the next round which came out in 15min. I know they just opened so are working out some kinks but I'd go back and give them another shot when they've become more established. read more

10/10 ambiance and has potential to be amazing. Just opened and definitely working through that it seems. Took our group of 6 about 45-50 min to receive our first round, and we had gone right when they opened at 5pm. One from our group didn't get the drink she ordered since they ran out of ingredients despite just opening? We ordered our 2nd round before 1st round arrived just cause of the wait. We tried majority of the menu among our group, some great cocktails and some mediocre ones (Butchers Wife was too sweet, tasted like strawberry grapefruit soda). Will be back, but will probably wait a few months. read more

Probably the worst Martini I've ever had. Asked for Bombay sapphire - was told they didn't have it. There's a bottle sitting up on the shelf in the middle behind the bar. And when the bartender made our drinks, we never saw any kind of liquor bottle in his hand. They didn't have any liquor bottles in the well or showing when they made drinks. So not sure what or if my drink had gin. My drink didn't taste like it had any gin in it. Very watery. Disappointing. Nice atmosphere. read more

Had a drink first at the steakhouse bar. Ok. We ordered a gin martini and it came with a twist and an olive - ha ok. Bartender gave us directions to enter the martini bar - walked in and the couches were all empty and a few open bar seats, no live music yet ~9:45pm. No one standing. Maybe 40% full? We walked up to grab the open bar seats and staff stopped us. They walked us back through the restaurant and the front desk at the restaurant told us the bar was full for the entire evening, including standing room only. ? :( read more

Went here tonight with my partner, as soon as we walk in there is no hostess at the front, so we walk in because no one was coming out to lead us in. When we walk into the bar and we are literally just standing there, no one is assisting us. If anything, we're getting extremely dirty looks from everyone, the environment was very unwelcoming. Not to mention we are the only people of color in there, I literally saw a woman whispering to a man as they both stared down at me. I know im not crazy because my partner felt the same exact way. It's a nice bar, but with everything going on I wouldn't recommend it if you're a person of color . read more

Wow I haven't had this bad of an experience in a long time and I wanted to love this bar! We went here for a friends birthday and it was so bad it honestly ruined the night and her birthday. It took our group of 8 over 50 minutes from ordering to our drinks arriving, and even then we were missing one drink and got one drink completely wrong. The server eventually came out and apologized, said they would remove the round of drinks (another manager and bartender came out and said the same thing) and we ordered a second round hoping to still have a good time. We continued to have issues with the second round, including one drink coming out a full 20 minutes after the rest. When the bill came, we were surprised to see it was almost $400 and that we were charged for 16 drinks despite only actually receiving 15 and being told a round would be comped because the service was so comically bad. We just paid to get out of there but it stands out as the worst customer service experience we have had in years, if you mess up so bad you offer to comp a round of drinks you should at the very least not be charging for more drinks than you even delivered. read more

Understanding this place just opened, but this was a comically bad experience. If you advertise yourself as a martini bar and can't make drinks on time and struggle with people requesting a specific type of martini then you can't call yourself as such. We should have seen the experience being a bad one from the get go because we walked into the hostess area and waited a full 10 minutes before anyone appeared from the bar area to check us in. Meanwhile they were too busy walking around keeping track of everyone's time spent in the bar to ensure they asked you to leave by your 90 minutes. We also spent 45-50 minutes waiting for our first round so while we wanted to order more, but with how long it was taking there was no way we'd have time. Our server said since our experience was so bad that they would comp something and come to find out at the end they didn't do that at all. This was after another manager came over to say that it was a simple human error, but upon the second round another drink showed up 20 minutes after everyone else's did. Maybe spend less money hiring iPad managers and instead get more people behind the bar making drinks! read more

I had my first experience at filthy martini this evening. On the positive side valet was terrific and the initial manager we met at the front desk was professional and gracious. The servers were friendly and efficient. The jazz band was phenomenal. The ambience was plush with a mad men vibe that was nostalgic. On the negative side the food was mediocre as well as the drinks. I could've lived with that, but things went off the rails in the last 15 minutes. The venue has a 90 minute sit time. We had an 8:15 reservation but arrived early and the manager accommodated us saying that the time wouldn't start until 8:15pm. Although we were conscious of the time limit, not one person asked us to wrap things up so we continued to order food and drinks totaling over $300. At 10:30pm a female floor manager came over to us and told us and in an impatient tone that she had let us sit there as long as she could, but that we had to wrap it up in five minutes although we had just received dessert and coffee. We obliged and waited for our bill. Within five minutes of that conversation a male manager came over and aggressively told us that we had been sitting there too long and that we were putting them behind. We were dumbfounded and said that was not our intention and we were waiting for the bill. While I understand the pressure of the restaurant business his approach with us was unacceptable so I went back to him and let him know I didn't appreciate how he spoke to us and that it was unnecessarily hostile given that not one person had given us a heads up that it was time to go or brought the check which would have been a definitive signal to move on. Our server could tell something was off and so I told her that I didn't appreciate the way the manager spoke with me. She apologized and gave me a valet voucher. Another manager named Wes met us at valet and took the time to listen and apologized for the way the evening ended. There was absolutely no reason for us to be treated the way we were at the end by the managers. It should not be the patrons responsibility to manage the 90 minutes. It was the floor managers job and it seemed that her failure was taken out on us so I will not be back. The best part of filthy martini bar is the decor and the artists who play there. read more
