We came back to celebrate my friend's birthday this weekend (well, Thursday) and I know where I'll be going for mine! Engie and Rob knocked it out of the park again!! We had so much fun! They started our night out with a glowing birthday shot brought out in a smoke filled treasure chest, it was DELICIOUS!!! We put our night in Robert's hands again and stayed with the Bartender's Choice! Every drink was so unique yet complimentary to each other being created on the spot, he and Engie worked diligently to put out nothing but the best! PLEASE do yourself a favor and do the Bartender's Choice and be open to taking a suggestion, this place knows what they're doing! The vibe here is so fun and lively! We sat next to a group of gals out on a girls night and another celebrating their birthday, there was a man taking a couple clients out and everyone was having a great time! We'll be back and absolutely recommend this speakeasy if you want a delicious, high quality cocktail and good vibes! Also, their Butta Cake that was recommended was INSANE! The perfect end to my friend's birthday! She had so much fun and obviously so did I thank you again for another wonderful night out! read more

Serving caffeine by day and debauchery by night Gin & Reel is a hidden speakeasy in the back of The Stir coffee shop on High Street. Find the password to enter in the caption of the pinned post on their Instagram page. Then, pick up the payphone, give the password, and be transported to a 1920s speakeasy. I've been to many speakeasies in town and this has the real feeling of being hidden, with other flappers, in a small cozy joint. After a good run with Phantom of the Opera, the current menu is Chicago inspired with drinks named: Roxie Hart, All that Jazz, Amos, and Razzle Dazzle. I started with a gin based cocktail called Cellblock Tango that was too sweet for my palette, but ended with a bolder Old Fashion type called They Both Reached for the Gun. Their hours are 5-11pm Sun-Thur and 5-1am Friday and Saturday. Plan a fun night by eating dinner at one of the many restaurants on High Street before ending the night in a hidden speakeasy. Don't be a wet blanket. Get dolled-up in your best hotsy-totsy outfit, take the jalopy, and head to this juice joint for some hooch. read more

Adam and Robert made this experience great. I have loved this place since 20/20 and last night had the best mocktails I've ever had. Robert you are very gifted with flavors. I highly recommend trying his thin mint mocktail...it was to die for! He also made me a very tart mocktail that was the best I've had. He even topped it with a rose. Perfection! I do find the mocktails to be too expensive, even more than the cost of our friends alcohol-based drink so I would suggest lowering the prices to enticeus in more often but it was still a wonderful evening and well worth the Indulgence. read more

I am a big fan of a good speakeasy. Huge. This one checks all the boxes. Inventive, delicious drinks. REALLY good old school playlist. Beautiful decor. And a mighty fun entrance. The service was attentive but not intrusive. The music is not so loud that you can't have a conversation. I love bringing friends and family from out of town and coming by with my husband for a drink before we hit the town. Minus one star for talking away the password recently. It's part of the fun! read more

So cute! Tucked away in the back, the service was attentive but laid back, the drink selection is large and you can very well get lost in all the options! The food- very much simple finger foods, nothing to write home about but good for something to snack on while drinking! read more

This place is a vibe. Had a friend tell me there was a speakeasy in the area so we went on a mission to find it. Very cool spot that requires a password but don't worry the hostess will help direct you on how to find it. You enter through an old school telephone booth. Once inside, the place is very small and intimate. Don't be afraid to go off menu. Simply tell the server what you like, fruity, sweet and creamy, etc and they will put together a drink. If alcohol isn't your thing, don't worry, they offer mock-tails. While I didn't get the chance to enjoy the bites, they looked delicious. This place is perfect for date night, boys or ladies night out or simply opting for something off the beaten bath. Good luck finding this gem. read more

Service was impeccable! For only having 7 tables and a bar with only 1 waitress. We did not have reservations but the wait wasn't bad. Especially for a Friday night. There is a time limit, the drinks were amazing. The only reason for 4 stars was the food was not the greatest. I was starving so it didn't help. Parking can be very limited, there are some areas with valet. We lucked out and got a space as someone was leaving. 3 hour time limit there as well. You have to know the secret password before they let you in too. Once you give the password you go to the phone in the wall whisper the password the phone and open the door. The decor is beautiful, seats are not all that comfortable but we had a blast. The chilled shots were very yummy! read more

Very cool little speakeasy in North Scottsdale. The place is not a secret, so plan to get their early or expect to wait for a seat on the weekends. Staff walked us around a corner, through the entrance, and into a cozy space with a beautiful backbar, good music, and friendly bar team. Menu was full of well-balanced cocktails - both classics and originals- that were just my style. We tried a fig manhattan, rif on a sazerac, a Japanese whiskey high ball, and one made with egg white. All were very good. Would def return. read more

I've been to a lot of speakeasy's but this one was possibly the slowest and underwhelming one I've been too. Only one server in the space, so it took around an hour just to get one drink and fully check out. We wanted to try more beverages but didn't want to feel trapped in the location. Overall underwhelming. I'd suggest other speakeasy like Rough Rider or Undertow for a WAY BETTER experience. read more

We loved gin & reel and will definitely be back. Located centrally on high street inconspicuously inside a certain coffee shop, you'll have to make a very important call to gain access. We went early and had no issues getting a seat. The cocktails were incredible and the service was great. We've ventured to other speakeasies in the area and while some of the others may have slightly higher end decor, this one has the best overall vibe by far. Make a reservation and poke around on their instagram for all the info you'll need to get in. Great spot for some small bites and drinks! read more

This speakeasy has my heart. The bartenders are superb. The drinks are divine. The vibe is always super chill and classy. I wish so badly I lived closer because I'd be here every weekend, but I live in the East Valley and it's always a drive, but I'm willing to make it. read more

Came here with my sister's wedding party for the combined bachelor/bachelorette party. We had to wait to about 45 minutes for our party of 7 to be seated, but that's okay we just went and walked around the area until we were texted that we were next in line. It's a great walkable area with a lot of restaurants and other drink spots. We were seated and promptly greeted by David who is probably the best server I've had in a very long time. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating during our entire visit. We even spoke briefly with the manager at one point who was also great and friendly. The atmosphere here is really cool. Good music but not so loud that you can't carry a conversation. Old timey decor and kinda dim but that Jeff's itself to a really relaxed vibe. Cocktails here are very booze forward so keep this in mind when you're picking things off the menu. As a person who enjoys the taste of hard liquor my bourbon picks were rather strong but that's how I like them. The others in our party also really enjoyed their cocktails. read more

Cool concept - a speakeasy in the back of a coffee shop! Many of the cocktails contain several combinations of liquors (gin + tequila or vodka + gin etc) which is not for me. The space was very limited and tight knit so prepare to be hanging out with other groups while you are there. The server/new manager was dissatisfied with our requests for customizable drinks which is usually standard at cocktail bars to be able to get a drink that you will enjoy based on your preferences! read more

So thrilled to finally make it to Gin & Reel Speakeasy!! You enter through Stir Coffee House, get your secret password and make your way to the blue phone booth. The door opens and as your eyes slowly adjust to the vignette, you arrive at Gin & Reel. The decor is on point, soft blue banquets, chairs low coffee tables and seating at the bar, which is dramatically lit and the feature. Staff are friendly and very personable, some are dressed in flapper wear and fedoras and vests. I really appreciated the fashion as it helps to really sell the prohibition era speakeasy vibe! I opted for the Raspberry Chocolate Martini and it was like a decadent dessert in drinkable form. I really want to go back and partake of more libations. Speakeasy bars are the norm but few are as well done as Gin & Reel. The truly intimate small space with the tin ceiling, appropriate decor and atmospheric tunes make you want to stay, drink your way through the menu and forget about the outside world!! read more

Who doesn't love a good speakeasy!? The theme is phantom of the opera right now - vibes are immaculate inside, upscale and dark and dreamy. It was so cool just to see the bartenders make the drinks since they're so fancy and complex. Some were placed in a treasure box with smoke, others had glowing cups, and others had fun toppings/decorations. I got the angel of music - it was okay, a little too sweet for me, but definitely strong. My other drink was the chandelier and I loved this one! The foam was so good (this was a drink that lit up). My friend had the prima-Donna and it came in a tea cup. He enjoyed it and said it was very good, couldn't taste a lot of coffee flavor though. The other one he had was music box and also loved it! The bartender let us shake the drinks too, so that was fun :0 read more

First time visiting this little gem inside the stir coffee shop on high street. You do need the secret passcode (from their IG or solve their riddle they give you) to enter as it's a very tiny intimate vibe with only a few seats and half bar inside. Very flapper like energy with a great ambiance. Our server was wearing an awesome great gatsby like flapper dress. Be prepared to hang out and enjoy the scenery as they put a lot of love into their amazing cocktails. We waited about 20 minutes for our cocktail but it's a whole creation. They have a telephone booth which is the secret door to get in. I can't remember what I ordered but it was a special October cocktail that came in a smoky box. It was so beautiful almost too cool to drink. Can't wait to return! 5 s!! read more

The perfect spot for drinks and a light bite. Met some friends after work and had a wonderful time. I had the City Lights specialty cocktail and it was refreshing and delicious.

We already are making plans to go back! read more

Came here twice. The first time the server was awesome with service and drink recommendations. Second time the service wasn't that great but it also appear there was less staff. This was around Halloween. The drinks changes depending on the season which is nice. I would still be back but definitely recommend making a reservation as their waitlist is long and can be up to an hour. read more

Love this spot. It definitely has that true speakeasy vibe and some of the best cocktails I've tried. Most recently, I enjoyed one with a tasty, tongue-tingling rim made from a rare flower that the bartender told me was difficult to procure. The complexity of the cocktail, the backstory from the bartender, and the fact that it was unquestionably delicious have made it one I still plan to visit again for. Note to first-timers: it is dark and the A/C is efficient. Bring sleeves! read more

Great atmosphere to grab gin cocktail, which is their speciality. Seating area can be a bit uncomfortable, dimmed lighting which makes it hard to see, closed seating which makes it quite difficult to hear your party. Gives me great gatsby vibes. Be sure to get "key word" found on the IG before making reservations and/or showing up. read more

FAVORITE BAR since arriving to Phoenix. Amazing service ambience and original cocktails that change seasonally. our service was great from our bartender tonight and the redhead David made our visit super memorable. Not often that we can enjoy a night together because my fiancé is a chef and often works late... if you like a vintage vibe with great service and beautiful ambience, come here. Smal plates too but we always come too late. Final point: you can check out the Gin & Reel - they are for real! read more

Every time I visit this place gets better and better. They are always coming up with fun and delicious new drinks. I was given a good tip to request the bartenders special the last time I was there and I highly recommend you do the same. They have different themes for different weeks and usually their drinks match up to the theme. The last time I was in, it was an Alice and Wonderland Theme. The bartenders were dressed up and the drinks were named after different characters. -A few tips for the first timers- *You can call for Reservations: 480-420-3223 *Go to their Instagram to find the password that day. Its in the description of the picture. *You have to give your password to the barista at The Stir Coffee Bar and they will take you back to the speakeasy. HAVE FUN! read more

I am so excited about this new place I found. I absolutely love speakeasies, and this place is everything! It is beautiful, nice and intimate, and the drinks were amazing.

This is not a place I want to tell everyone about because I want to keep this little gym to myself :-) read more

This is one of the coolest speakeasys I've been to from the valley. Located in North Phoenix, the set up here takes you back to the prohibition era. It's a pretty tight space so I wouldn't recommend coming in large groups. The drink menu had a decent selection for everyone's type of alcohol choice. My favorite was the prohibition punch! It is a bit on the pricey side where drinks vary between $12-$18 in price range. I would have liked to see more food items on the menu, that's just me. However we all thought the drinks were amazing. Side note: if you're looking for the place then you need to enter through the coffee shop and then proceed through the telephone booth secret entrance. read more

Cool little hidden bar! This is inside of the stir past their phone booth. We had to wait a little for a table to open up but not too long. It is pretty small in there and a little crammed but not too bad. I ended up getting some sort of gin daiquiri drink that had grapefruit juice and banana alcohol in it. I was worried it would be too strong but it was not, and it was really good! Sweet without being too sweet. My sister asked for an aeperol spritz and I tried a sip, it was extremely strong hahaha but pretty good! This place is definitely pricey but worth it to visit once in a while. I especially loved the bar area and the music they have. Service was great too! read more

Not sure what happened, but this place has gone completely down the drain. My friend and I came in on a Friday night a little before closing and they told us that they would be closing soon but they're doing last call, so my friend and I ordered drinks. 10 minutes went by nothing 20 minutes went by nothing. Meanwhile the waitress was giving everybody else around us a second or third round of drinks. Sure they may have ordered them before us, but we didn't even get any drinks at all. A group of 4 come in way after us and ordered way after us and they also receive their drinks. We confronted the staff and instead of being apologetic, they basically just blew us off. I don't know if it had to do with the fact that my friend and I are woman of color or what but there's no reason for us to be ignored and for our drinks and our orders to be dismissed. I highly recommend not going to this place because the service and the people that work here are terrible. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU EXPECT GOOD SERVICE. You will be ignored and dismissed. Extremely unprofessional and disrespectful staff. read more

A hidden gem! This speakeasy offers a wonderful, intimate atmosphere with top-notch cocktails. Perfect for a quiet night out.

Really great little speakeasy in the back of The Stir Coffee Shop. The bartenders here that I have met the few times I have been here are really knowledgeable and make some really strong drinks. I usually order an old fashion when I'm in here and it is very much bourbon forward as far the drink goes and best part is they use top shelf booze in their well drinks. Always a fun place to take a date but be warned this place can be packed and bit loud on the weekends. Best come in during the weekdays if want avoid the crowd. There typically open after most the other bars close usually till midnight. Also drinks here are expensive so be ready for that read more
