Will absolutely be back!

But, if you're looking for a really cool bar, KWSC is for you. I stopped by on a week day evening around 8:30 p.m. Located in Roosevelt Row, while there isn't parking, I found free parking on the street a few minutes away on foot. Ambiance (4.5/5): My type of spot. Dimly lit with a speakeasy vibe. There are eight or so seats at the bar, and the rest of your seating options consist of comfortable chairs and sofas. You'll see a lot of photos of people's bums on the walls lol. This is indeed part of the appeal. For free, if you would like, they will take a polaroid of your butt and memorialize you eternally on the walls. While I didn't do that, if that's up your alley, go for it. Service (2/5): This is the main area of improvement. After being seated, I was greeted promptly and got my first cocktail promptly. From there, things fell apart. I had to grab the bartender's attention to order my second drink and to close out. It was a week day and they weren't busy. And there were two bartenders. A lack of attentiveness. When I closed out, I noticed that the cocktails were both $2 more expensive than what was listed on the menu. When I inquired, I was told that the menus were outdated... umm what? If you're not going to re-print your menus, give people a heads-up when they arrive. I understand that most people won't notice, but this is deception. Food (N/A): I was on a liquid diet. If you're trying to eat here, all they have is snacks. The menu doesn't specify but I'm thinking it's probably chips or somethign like that. Drinks (4/5): A lengthy, and interesting, cocktail list. Similar to a speakeasy, you're going to see creativity and an interesting blend of flavors here. The most popular drink is Fuck Nazis. We're seeing a theme here. KWSC is an interesting spot. For various dollar amounts, you can get funny things outside of the polaroids of your bum. My first cocktail was great. My second one, a tiki drink, not so much. The menu said that there would be some flame action happening. It didn't. Just another example of the service falling short. If the service were better, Killer Whale Sex Club would easily be a five-star experience.

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!

Tucked away a bit, it feels like a hidden gem the moment you find it. The owners and staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating an atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. The live entertainment added a great touch--relaxed, enjoyable, and perfect for a night out without the typical bar scene. Their mocktails are creative and refreshing, and we loved pairing them with a few appetizers while sipping on seltzer waters. It's such a refreshing alternative for anyone looking to socialize in a fun, inclusive environment. Highly recommend checking it out--especially on a night with live music. We'll definitely be back.

We made a reservation through Open Table. There is no additional cost to reserve a table, which is great since most other similar spots either had a cover fee or you had to buy tickets for the live performance. Upon arrival, our table was ready right when we showed up. The service was excellent throughout the night considering how busy it was in there. Our waitress was so patient, especially considering how long we took to make a decision on what we were going to order. The lighting was very nice, the music was great. We spent about 3 hours here enjoying the atmosphere. The food was very good, and prices were low! The drinks (which we did not partake in) were pricey, but seemed to have a great selection. There was a full bar & a handful of "signature" drinks to choose from. We ended up keeping it simple & getting the Wagyu Burger & Fries. I upgraded to onion rings. It took a little while to get our food, but we were in no rush. The burgers were cooked exactly how we wanted them, and tasted fresh. The onion rings and fries were delicious. The lounge also has another restaurant called "Vybe" attached, with similar food offerings, and a DJ instead of a live band. It's a bit quieter in that area. They also have karaoke suites for rent, which is a really cool option for people who are having a party. A waitress was kind enough to give us a tour of all these areas within the restaurant, and give us all the details about what packages are offered. All in all, we had such a nice night out and will definitely be back in the future.

Then it took 3 more people, including the gentleman that helped me the previous Sunday, to get my card to work. They no longer have the light up menus so you end up using your phone. By the time we finally were able to get into the theater we had already missed the first 10 minutes of the movie. We ordered 2 cocktails and it took 20 minutes to arrive.

Unfortunately, ongoing issues involving one bartender have significantly changed my experience. After she became aware of a personal connection outside of work, her behavior toward me became noticeably unprofessional. I consistently received poor treatment from her specifically, something other patrons also commented on. The situation escalated during recent visits, including having the card reader thrown towards me during checkout, derogatory comments directed at my boyfriend, and the involvement of a non-employee in taking him outside to "talk" without any clear explanation being communicated to us. I did not previously raise these concerns with management because I initially chose to overlook the behavior and avoid creating conflict. However, once the situation escalated to objects being thrown during checkout and a non-employee becoming involved in customer interactions, I felt it was important to address. I was also later informed indirectly that I was "not welcome," despite never being approached directly by management or staff regarding any concern. Throughout all visits, I remained respectful and non-disruptive. I'm disappointed in how this situation has been handled overall, especially because the establishment itself has otherwise been a place I enjoyed visiting. I hope this conduct is reviewed appropriately moving forward.

Sometimes seating is difficult with a larger party, as the tables and seating seem a little compact. There are tons of drinks in their menu to choose from. For a speakeasy, I think their pricing is very comparable, and really did not feel as if it was overpriced. The first time I came here I ordered a bees knees cocktail, and last time I enjoyed a generously poured glass of prosecco. I love the atmosphere, location, pricing, and service at this speakeasy. Can't wait to come back.

I did appreciate that the speakeasy was below ground and required a password. I do think it's odd that when making a reservation online, you are not prompted on how to retrieve the password. Thank goodness my friend receives the emails and let me know ahead of time what to say. You enter down a long hallway and wait at a bookcase that opens. It kind of feels like forever because there's nowhere to go and could create a little bit of potential claustrophobia/panic for people who may be sensitive to those types of environments. The drink menu was good but I really wasn't wowed. They did offer three mocktails which wasn't really impressive and the cocktails did include a variety of liquors and flavor profiles but again, wasn't as extensive or interesting as some other speakeasies around town. The food menu was very disappointing - a lot of dairy and bread - pretzels with cheese, flatbread, queso with chips, and "rabbit food" - hummus with bread and vegetables. We asked to have all vegetables instead of bread and they did accommodate with a generous helping of full-size rainbow carrots and cherry tomatoes. We actually ran out of hummus before we could finish the vegetables. I understand elevated pricing for the aesthetic/experience but I did think the pricing here was a little bit high for what was received.

We had a reservation for 3 on a Friday night and I recommend doing that if going on the weekend. It was pretty full when we arrived at 8:45pm. The bar is not a huge place, there's an area up front with couches, bar seats, and high top tables along the bar. Main takeaways for me-- the cocktails are fantastic and complex. Really well balanced. I also appreciate the service was great, even with a busy bar. I love clarified cocktails and there were 3 options, our server was able to help me decide which one to try based on her descriptions and what I like. The menu is detailed which helps as well. My friend is vegan and she ordered the Living Color cocktail but she didn't notice the taro root cream, only after getting the drink and taking a sip, she realized due to how creamy it is. The bartender had no issue with making her a different drink that doesn't include dairy. But just know I'm not vegan, so down the hatch it went! I liked it as my final drink due to the desert feeling it has-- creamy and almost reminded me of an adult milkshake once melted a bit. During our time there, we ordered a couple drinks each, no snacks this time, we had already eaten dinner. Drinks we enjoyed: living color, passion project, quiet luxury, twig & berries, climate control, and a beer & shot. If you like to imbibe at a bar that isn't gimmicky, just great flavor profiles and spirit forward drinks come here. I'll definitely be back.

**BE AWARE! BE AWARE! BE AWARE! **…read more This establishment is not what I expected from an "upscale Black-owned business." My first experience was frustrating because the dress code appeared to be enforced selectively. My guy friend was turned away for wearing the exact same attire as another guest who was allowed in. The favoritism was annoying, but we decided to give the establishment another try. Unfortunately, that experience was just okay. My date and I were enjoying our evening when we were asked if we wanted to cash out. I wasn't ready to leave, but I agreed. When I swiped my card, the server asked if I would like to leave a tip. Of course, I wanted to tip for the service, but I was taken aback when I saw the total. I proceeded with the cashout and then requested an itemized receipt. That request seemed to be an issue with the server, which immediately raised a red flag for me. Upon further inspection of the receipt, I noticed that gratuity had already been added to my bill. **My question is: Why would the server ask me if I wanted to leave a tip when gratuity was already included?** That experience left me feeling misled and uncomfortable. I cannot speak to the server's intentions, but the situation felt deceptive and needs to be addressed. I will not be returning to Lush. Customers deserve transparency, especially when it comes to their money and tipping. **SHAME ON LUSH!** BE AWARE! BE AWARE! BE AWARE!
