Ghost donkey is a super cool bar! I love the lights they have up in the ceiling and all the decor!!! I only ordered drinks, they have a big menu with different cocktails, wine and other things to order. I definitely recommend coming over here to enjoy a night out with friends!!

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.

The decor is so fun. You must go to see. The staff is awesome. The music is great. You have to see.

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.

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.

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

We are from out of town and stopped in before a Suns game. We did arrive shortly after they opened. The service was outstanding only because our bartender was so nice & personable!

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.

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!!!

Hard to find a good carajillo; and this one delivered.

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.

So let me preface this review on my inebriation level as being pretty high after hitting Pinkys,…read morebut we decided to hit this place up on a bar hop, because why not when your just throwing them down. This is very cool joint with a dark feel too it. They have a basement bar which we ventured into and they also have an upstairs bar as well, so you can fit a lot of drunk People in there. It also features a lot of great art that fits really highlights the Mexican bar vibe. The waitress/bar tender/ agave expert was very welcoming and know a lot about their tequilas and mescal option. I love me some smokey mescal, I dont remember thet name of the drink but it had some kind of elote triple sec or something like that along with Mescal and it was quite tasty. Trust me I was in no state to remember ingredients but this is from my foggy memory. I also got a pick of the cool ice blocks that has an Agave inlay that they put in the tumbler with your drink. I will definitely be going back for their wide Mescal and tequila options. I didn't see food in the bar, but they have a food truck out front that smelled amazing, but sometimes I simply dont want to eat when there are plenty of drinks to be had. They do have Esquites, Tacos, Quesadillas, Mini Chimis, and loaded fries. I will have to do another review on the food when I am not out being a borracho. They do take reservations and host private parties which would make for one raucous Christmas party if you don't work at a Christ loving conservative company like me. You can also order bottles of mescal and pick it up on location which is pretty awesome as especially after trying out the selection. Happy hour is every weekday that they are open to try out some of their cocktails. This is a great option to impress your tinder date if you are a lush like me pr want to show of your sophisticated drinker side.

Friend was in town, so our group of 4 bar hopped the night away. Sazerac happened to be one if our stops that night and I loved it! Bars aren't usually my thing, but if I ever do go, it's with a group. We were semi-tipsy when we arrived but each got a drink to keep th vibe alive. I k ow I didn't order anything on the menu, but I did ask Anthony to make me something peachy/mango-y and he came through!! Idk what he put in it but he called it the "Ta Daaaa!" It was absolutely delicious and right up my alley! Later in the evening, my friend and I shared a shot while our guy friends were chopping it up on the patio. That damn shot was sooo freakin' good and didn't break the bank, either! If you're looking for a chill spot to have a drink or two, this is it. The patio is nicely decorated and there's a taco truck serving up yummies to go with your tasty cocktails. Gather up your crew and head to Sazerac for a night you won't soon forget. And don't forget to grab some freebies to the left of the door when you exit! **IYKYK** lol

Both cocktails were made with the perfect amount of alcohol: you could tell it was in there but it didn't burn. Our bartender was friendly and knowledgeable. He gave advice on beverages and answered my questions I had about tequilas. We each had a tequila shot together and he answered our questions about the different tequilas that they have. The hostess/guard at the door wasn't in a very good mood but maybe she was tired or had put up with too many rude customers I didn't have any food but my friends had loaded fries and tacos and they looked really good. Liked the vibe! The music was good and the mood was chill. Definitely would go back. Just don't visit the bathroom unless you're prepared for nudity

I was immediately drawn to their craft cocktails and the focaccia with whipped ricotta captured my heart. I'm a huge savory cocktail girl and they had multiple options. The Caprese was everything for me, like a crispy salad in a glass. They also make a mean dirty martini. The vibe is great too, dimly lit with vibey house music and the bartenders and servers are all super chill and friendly. Effortlessly cool without being too snooty. I'm a big fan of their food too, my top faves were the Caesar salad, watermelon salad, vodka pasta & cookie skillet, besides my beloved bread of course. The girl dinner is truly such a steal so if you go on a Tues night, don't skip it! It comes with a martini, caviar chip, Caesar salad & vodka pasta. They also do a boy dinner on Thurs which I'll need to come back for! Absolutely in love and will definitely be back again soon.

Located in Downtown Phoenix, the parking situation is a little hairy. There is paid parking nearby,…read morebut it definitely is better to come a little earlier to scope out the parking situation and get that sorted before your reservation. My party and I had a reservation on a Saturday night at 9pm (when it's 13 people, what can you do). What kind of sucked though (and mainly why I'm deducting a star) is that we did wait an additional half hour to be seated after our reservation time. Our theory is that they didn't think the entire party would actually arrive, and they were not ready to accommodate us. To be fair, the restaurant IS on the smaller side, but there was 0 communication during that half hour on what was going on... which isn't really good for us either. We got the original set, and this somewhat confused me as well. The food was really good, and was definitely a restaurant that I'd go to for the experience, but for some reason some of the meats were doubled while others weren't. The double portions were really nice since our party was so large, we needed to split the food between 4 different grills (so each table got 2 grills each, feeding 6-7 people in total or 3-4 people per grill), but then we had to share the portions where we only got one serving. It wasn't bad, but to me, didn't make sense. The food was really good though; I didn't care too much about the soup, but the green sauce was SO good. Mixing a little with the soup was incredible. I thought the beef and pork were really good. I personally left the restaurant full, but many others in my party did not. I think it's a really good amount of food for 2 people, but when you push to 3+, you probably do not want to come hungry. Also--the live music at Pemberton next door is SO LOUD, you're going to be shouting at your table the entire night when you sit outside. I think I would come back if I wanted to show this place to someone who didn't live here, but it isn't on the top of my list for when I'm trying to eat out, but I will definitely consider this for special date night occasions. It is extremely expensive for what it is though. For $70+ you risk the chance of leaving not full which SUCKS.

This place really took me back to the Moo Kra Ta buffets in Bangkok and made me nostalgic. I hope they do have more options in terms of seafood and veggies! I hope the restaurant specifies clearly that the services are on reservation basis only because it isn't clarified anywhere yet. This would help a lot of people. Also, I hope the restaurant informs, directs and put in place about the parking spaces available around. Can't wait to get back already!

It's located inside a hotel so you have to come up the elevator and when you turn the corner and walk into the vestibule you are immediately thrown into the Halloween experience.

When you walk through to the actual bar, there is a giant skeleton in the red Moody lighting. There are spider webs everywhere but my favorite thing in the entire bar was on a credenza that held spooky dolls - - and a very creepy clown doll with a broken leg. I really want that clown doll! There is a circle of ghost children dancing and a coffin in the corner. They do have a haunted Halloween cocktail menu, and while you can still order from the regular menu, they've actually temporarily removed some of the regular cocktails to make room for the Halloween cocktails. We ordered the Clown Pear-anoia, okay mezcal cocktail served in a spooky clown mug, and the Widows Whisper, a Halloween tiki drink. As always at Little Rituals, the cocktails were delish. Little rituals has received many awards, including a James Beard semifinalist for outstanding bar, and the 2025 Best U.S. Hotel Bar. If you like cocktail bars, you have to go to little rituals. It's definitely one of the best in the valley!

The reservation fee is $25 per person. Keep in mind that this is not simply a reservation deposit like most places. You are actually paying $25 and in exchange you get a boarding pass, a welcome cocktail, a set of wings (this is a really nice quality pin, not the cheesy plastic wings they give the kids on Southwest), spicy nuts, and a sweet treat. When you arrive, you pick up your "boarding pass" at Wren and Wolf around the corner. This flight was going to Tokyo. There is a red-rope line that you wait in until your "flight" boards. At your reservation time, the "Captain" opens the door and a "flight attendant" takes you to your seat. Actually, they call them stewardesses because it's supposed to be 70's themed. The inside is kind of amazing. It's airline themed without being too literal. We have visited another airline themed cocktail lounge in Palm springs which literally had real airline seats. This is not that. It has a lot of beautiful shiny wood and great lighting and it's just generally a gorgeous space. There is a bar at the back. Throughout your 90-minute experience, there is a captain on the overhead letting you know what will happen next. They start by bringing you a welcome cocktail and a bowl of spicy nuts. Love the nuts, did not like the cocktail at all. I just poured mine into my husband's glass and he finished it. They come around next to take your cocktail order. My husband ordered a melon sour, and I ordered a chocolate martini. I'm sad to say I did not like this cocktail either, although I did finish this one. Hubby thought his was fine. After that round of cocktails the flight attendant and Captain come around with the cart to take Martini orders. It looked like less than half of the people ordered a martini. We were there on a Sunday afternoon, and so the two cocktails we already had were plenty and we did not order martinis. Then the flight attendant comes around with a plate of black and white cookies. They were so good - - they tasted homemade. This was really just fun. While I didn't love the cocktails, I did love the cookies and the spicy nuts and the whole experience and I really recommend it.
