No Stealth Margarita! Sayyyyy whaaaaat! No really. Say what (insert sad face). Ambiance: This place is a cool vibe for those on a date, just hanging out as friends or a nice pregame to the next stop. Its giving Austin's 6th street and sprinkle a little more keeping it weird on top. Very eclectic. Parking: We just bar hopped so Im not sure the best place to park. However I did see a bit of street parking. Please read street signs and be responsible when parking your vehicle. Service: Service was great. The Bartender offered suggestions in lieu of not having the stealth margarita. I will say that I am not from AZ, so when I travel I like to have the whole experience, that includes signature drinks that sounds like they taste divine. Whenever I am back in town I may give them another try if I get to experience tasting the stealth margarita or any other signature home town favorites. read more

Ghost donkey was a part of our sustainability mixer for our Forbes summit and it is a really neat place! We really packed in here but their staff did a great job accommodating us. I didn't get to order anything but the menu looked lovely and creative. The seating looked really open and I definitely want to come back with a smaller group. read more

Such amazing drinks and bartender are very fast working and have very great customer service. They play very good music and the look of the place is very nice. read more

Do not come to this establishment, They will have you waiting for 20 mins plus. Because they cannot function, I found it very rude because I was making eye contact with this individual as they were drinking the alcohol from behind the counter. Which is illegal. I will be reporting this establishment. read more

3rd time here and I'm a fan! I love Latin music even though I don't know what they're saying. Lol. Yummy cocktails. Cool vibe. Comfy couch areas if you're with a large group this is the spot to go to! read more

I love their expresso martini, it's one of the best I've had. I think this is my favorite bar on the strip, and I'm saying this as someone who doesn't necessarily love being on the strip. read more

NEED AC UP ! Love this place have been coming for years always a good time but lately it's been extra hot then other summers in here I feel like we could go se some more Ac . Mushroom margarita is the best thing ever !!! read more

Pretty nice little spot. Cool drinks but the vibe is kind of all over. Didn't have the food but it all looked pretty good. Service was slow but the place was busy. I'll be back to try again. Would recommend just for all the neon. lol read more

Place is very small, but my drink was worth it! Highland picnic was ON.POINT!! Highly suggest it! Also tried the Paloma was great

Ghost Donkey is a cute bar perfect for Instagram worthy pictures. The drinks are a bit expensive but tasty and they offer a variety of house cocktails including some drinks for multiple people to share. Sparkling lights cover the ceiling giving the room great ambiance. Bathrooms can be packed and messy but the bar overall is cute and neat. Many seating areas though the bar is small so expect a wait during busy nights. read more

Very disappointing experience at Ghost Donkey. Our group was asked for our IDs upon entry, which is completely understandable. However, the staff then took all of our IDs to the back for nearly 15 minutes. When we finally asked what was going on, we were told they were "not familiar" with some state IDs. The ID in question was a legitimate driver's license. It's concerning that a bar would be unable to recognize one of the most common forms of identification in the country. These same IDs have been accepted by TSA, Las Vegas casinos, and countless other venues without issue. Security must be new or extremely inexperienced. What made the situation even more frustrating was that the bar was nearly empty, so there was no obvious reason for such a long delay. Had the staff simply communicated what they were doing, it would have gone a long way. Instead, we were left standing around wondering why our identification had disappeared into the back. The entire interaction felt unprofessional and poorly handled. Unfortunately, it left a very negative first impression and we left immediately, never ever coming back!!! read more

Walked in, walked right back out! Floors were very sticky, smelt like someone farted and was not greeted for about five minutes even thou I had taken a seat at the bar... very pretty inside but wasn't going to spend money read more

The absolute best. The best Latin music in downtown, best drinks, and amazing atmosphere. They have a huge variety of Mezcal and the manager Eddy, who we met earlier at Palma was more than happy to sit down with us and give us a rundown on what spirits they have and let us try his favorites, even on a packed Friday night. We ended up going to the bar afterwards and the bartender Jerry gave us one of his favorites too with a brand that Eddy had talked about, which gave the whole experience an even better touch. Even the security guard out front, Edgar,was so nice and cracking jokes with everyone, which doesn't happen very often in downtown. Most of the security in the area are serious and on edge so it was a nice change. Hopefully we'll have a chance to try their last bar Champagne Lanes to finish it off in the coming days!! 10/10 read more

Gorgeous bar! Met someone here on a Wednesday night just before 8pm. It was my first time here ,not his. May have been 6 of us total in the bar, guessing this is not the place for the after work crowd. I moved from Florida and lived in Dallas so that's kind of strange that such a cute , intimate space with good spirits can be so empty. Guess it's a downtown Phoenix thing because I have not experienced this when going to Scottsdale during the week. We had margaritas with mezcal and a shot. I will say I was feeling pretty right and liked my drink a lot. I want to go back on a weekend night and see how attractive this place can get read more

I tend to love dive bars and ghost donkey is kind of it. It's a small space, but it's vibrant. It's lively lots of variety of people here. The bartenders super friendly fast service even though I'm busy nights I don't have anything bad to say about the place. If you're in the neighborhood make sure you stop by and say hi. read more

I'm all about some Tequila & Mezcal so being able to pop in here without a major line or wait was a blessing. Usually, it's a wait to get inside and then another wait for cocktails (which I don't mind). Luckily we were able to get drinks quickly from the bar, and the timing after 2 rounds worked out as we grabbed some seating towards the side for a few more rounds. I rep for the "season" crew & I never feel like that old man in the spot... Mainly because all the people I meet that night earlier at different places came through and we kept celebrating round after round... And you thought you could outdrink me JR!!! haha I was dialed in that night on various margaritas so fitting to have the Stealth & Mushroom Margarita... Still a fan of the Burro Tropical... not a fan of the bathroom wait!!! read more

I could sit in this place all day just because of the lighting alone. I really enjoy this little bar because no matter what I order, it's so good. And I don't even care for tequila. This place is a gem. Cheers. read more

Unfortunately I probably won't choose to go back here. They withheld my ID thinking it was fake for an extended period of time instead of asking for a second form. My group was really upset and we decided to not stay after this. Headed back to our favorite bar tropic thunder after read more

They took my ID to the back and didn't give it back until i asked for it. I am 22 years old and my sister and i were both in and had the same state ID and they said they were unfamiliar with it but took our IDs and left us without any water or service the rest of the night we left disappointed and never returning read more

I brought my friends from out of town who have never been to anywhere in Phoenix And Selma was super rude, and she always has her resting bitch face She should really fix her face and her attitude read more

Top spot, top drinks but the heat inside, uff needs some work. The music is great, bartenders are friendly and quick.

Had a post Birthday Girls night out, for drinks and food. Naturally a stop in at Ghost Donkey is a must. I ordered the Pistolero and my friend ordered the Poco Loco. With our fancy libations in hand we sat in the back area that is dark and cozy. Perfect spot to relax and music was turned down enough by that time that we could have a conversation. We talked, we laughed, and enjoyed our time there. Before heading off to the next place for our evening out. We shared the Salsa Verde Nachos for a snack. It was absolutely delicious! I love how they layer each chip with toppings so your getting a pop of flavor and a lot more food than it looks like at first glance. Perfect portion for two to share. read more

The ambience is really good but it's so hot in here especially in the middle on summer, I don't know if the A/C isn't working but y'all should turn it down and close the windows. A/c is must in Phoenix, Az! read more

Fix the AC in this bar!! It was really hot and humid upon entering, no AC AT ALL. It's the middle of summer in Phoenix Arizona and there's no AC? Needs to be fixed immediately! read more

I wanted to take my friend out for a fun night since she's from out of town. This place is a cool space to enjoy a mezcal. I loved the recommendations from my server, but after I ordered my second drink of the night she took my first drink before I finished it. My boyfriend left to take a phone call outside and she took his drink before he finished the drink. She was so fast I did not have time to stop her. Then they turned the lights up at 12. I was so ready to checkout but our server never came back to check us out. So I made my way to the bar to check out. Kinda annoying. Hopefully they could do better next time. read more

Drinks are GREAT! The atmosphere in general is always super FUN! The service was also amazing! Overall a great experience! read more

One of my favorite bars in Downtown Phoenix. Angel in security, Eddie the manager, Devanah the bartender, and Miranda who serves us our drinks are all amazing people. The drinks are amazing, but what makes this place wonderful is the staff. They are always smiling and making sure everyone is comfortable and having a good time. I can't wait to celebrate my birthday at Ghost Donkey again. Also make sure you order the burrito drink so you can get the cool rubber donkey that comes with it. read more

Definitely a fun spot with great atmosphere. The two drinks I had were very tasty. Food wise, they have primarily small appetizers to share and then tacos. I personally didn't have the tacos but my mom wasn't a huge fan of them. We did, however, really like the nachos. It's not the largest portion since it's the individual chip style of nachos, but the flavor was great and we went for a second round of those. read more

We went here with a friend for her birthday! The drinks are creative and delicious. We had both types of nachos on the menu and they were amazing. The decor is fun and unique and we would definitely come back. Service was a bit slow at first but got better and our waitress was nice. read more

After visiting the Las Vegas location and loving it, we had to check out the Phoenix location of Ghost Donkey as well. To our surprise, even though this location is much bigger than the "speakeasy" hidden in a food court in Vegas, they didn't offer some of the food and drinks offered on the Vegas menu. We took it as an opportunity to try different drinks! We visited in November of 2022 when Blitzen took over Ghost Donkey and they had their fun and festive holiday decor up. The twinkly lights were dreamy and very Instagrammable. They also offered a specialty cocktail at that time, Papi Noel, which we had to try. It was a deliciously balanced Mezcal drink with a nice foam! We also ordered Nacho Verdes which came with mashed black beans, jack cheese, poblano salsa, crema, cotija, cilantro, pickled onions, salsa verde, and salsa doña. Very tasty, I could have easily inhaled another order! I tried another delicious drink, but don't remember the name. Would definitely come back! read more

Best bar in Phoenix! Best ambience, best bartenders in the city as well. I will continue to be a patron.

Google hours advertise they're open till midnight, but we were asked 3 times before then to leave and kicked out AT MIDNIGHT. Bad aftertaste for sure read more

Absolutely loved the vibes!! Stopped here with a friend on my "bar crawl" through downtown Phoenix - delish drinks and super nice bartenders - highly recommend!! read more

J-Wow Wisdom For Y'all: Ghost (informal) - What I'll do to you if I have too much tequila. Donkey (informal) - How I feel when I have too much tequila. Wow cow... or should I say, "Wow donkey!" I've been to the one in Vegas and now I can say I've been to the one in Phoenix. While more spacious than their Sin City counterpart, they don't have all the fun drinks and nachos like their Vegas location. Our party had all been to the Vegas location after having a meal so none of us had the opportunity to try their truffle nachos. We were hoping to remedy that mistake by stopping into this one in DT Phoenix. Womp womp. Guess it'll give me an excuse to pop into the Vegas one again! ;D What they did offer was a holiday drink. Papi Noels were ordered by the ladies along with a bunch of other drinks and a Nacho Verdes (mashed black beans, jack cheese, poblano salsa, crema, cotija, cilantro, pickled onions, salsa verde, and salsa doña) to share. More drinks were had later on and it was a great time! Come for the twinkly lights as it is totally Instagram-worthy. Cheers! read more

Is 0 an option? Falsely accused me of going in the restroom with someone. Security aggressively approached my wife and I on the matter (power tripping) calling us liars and refused my request to review the camera footage to prove I was being honest and had nothing to hide. Turns out there was a different brown boy in a black shirt that went in with a girl to the restroom and not me, by then the damage was already done. Very unprofessional establishment, handled everything terribly from start to finish. Our party of 14 (which was basically the whole bar since it was dead lol) quickly left and took our business elsewhere. read more

A really fun joint! Crowded with a bit of wait to get in on the weekend night we were there. Lots of cocktails on the menu from which to pick. Most are Tequila based, which was just fine with us. We opted for the Pistolero - a spicy margarita type cocktail. Really good! Loved out time there and would definitely go back again. N*joy! read more
