I really enjoyed the drinks here. It is definitely on the pricier side, but I like the overall atmosphere and how it is still pretty chill inside, but doesn't feel too stuffy. Bartenders are nice and pretty attentive. I like that there are good parking options nearby too. I'd recommend this as a date spot/date night for drinks. read more

The drinks here are unique, well balanced, and delicious. I loved the white lotus and the leave only footprints. I do wish they had more vegetarian food choices and a dessert or two. A friend ordered the pimento cheese dip, which I thought was good. Service was quick and nice. The atmosphere was cozy and intimate- great for date night. read more

I would give this cocktail spot 10stars if I could. Anytime friends are in town I bring them here and they are always impressed. The service is impeccable, the atmosphere is chic yet cozy, and the drinks are unique but well balanced. It's a little gem near downtown Phoenix that is a must!! read more

An absolute treat to visit while staying in the area! Knowledgeable and attentive staff who are clearly passionate about the cocktail program. Drink offerings that have been curated to suit a wide variety of palates and moods. Excellent vibes and some delicious food offerings to boot. I would highly recommend trying the Lip Service and Shrimp Remoulade Roll! read more

This is my most favorite cocktail bar of all time. Libby, Mitch, Casey, and Sydney are amazing! They're talented bartenders who make your experience memorable every time through personality, service, and incredible cocktails (on and off menu). This is the place I'd recommend for anyone looking for a very nice date night or get together with friends who enjoy drinking! read more

This cocktail bar is part of the squad that periodically changes their menu, with their newest update having been rolled out on January 5th. What a happy new year that resulted in :D The ambience of this place is intimate and dark with couches and other seating that makes you feel like you and your party are in your very own little candle-lit bubble. I'm not gonna lie, normally these types of places stress me out because they seem so vulnerable and I feel like I have to act a certain way, but I was okay for the most part. Our party was seated after being on the waitlist for 20-30 minutes, which was surprising because we assumed the wait would've been longer on the very popular First Friday night. Service was great! I ordered the White Lotus and loved it very much, definitely recommend if you're a fan of lychee and sweetness. I need to learn how to make this. It definitely makes me want to go back to order the same thing but also to see what other delicious drinks their menu has to offer (before it changes again.) read more

Highball - The White Lotus - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

TLDR: Best cocktail I've had in Phoenix (albeit the most expensive too) This place came HIGHLY recommended by one of my friends. Despite not having a reservation, and a fairly long wait line at 11pm, the staff got our party of 3 in within 30 minutes of our arrival. The dark lighting, lit candles, and chill music are - to say the least - a vibe. There are different types of seating available, with each offering its own charm (from leather couches, to small tables, to high tables, to the bar), but wherever you're sat feels both private and comfortable. As for their cocktails, their menu was recently updated! I opted for the White Lotus, and was not disappointed. I can't quite remember what the base was, but if I am not mistaken it had elderflower and a citrus. It was subtly sweet and refreshing -- and hardly tasted of alcohol (my favorite kind of drinks!) For folks who are driving (or otherwise abstaining from drinking), they do offer $10 non-alcoholic cocktails (I didn't try them, but many of them sounded good!) Overall, I was pleased by the service, the ambiance, and most importantly, the drinks! read more

Looking for a great cocktail topped with awesome service? Highball is your place to be!!! Rob the bartender made me feel so welcome, that I wanted to put my feet up on their comfy couch, read a book and sip on my cocktail lol. After a short conversation with Rob he was able to identify which cocktails from the menu were suited for my palate. He started me off with the avocado oil milk washed cocktail which was super refreshing and drinkable. He followed that up with a tasty gin cocktail. The menu is extensive but based on my experience today. You can't go wrong with anything. Choose your spirit and let your bartender be your guide. read more

I came here Saturday night and luckily they fit us in without a reservation after a very short wait. We sat at a hightop table near the bar. This area was fine but the couch area looked really cool. Mitch was our server and bartender and was very friendly and helped me choose a drink. I loved my drink. I mean seriously it was so freaking good! It's called the Painted Sky. The first half was good and then the second half tastes like the sangria you get in Barcelona. I will be back for this drink. My friend ordered a French 75 which tasted too alcohol forward (gin) for me but she liked it. The South Six Shooter just tastes like an old fashioned. And the Hot sheet hotel was good, and not too spicy. It's a good place to come for 1-2 drinks to start off your night out. read more

Absolutely love this speakeasy! The outside gives nothing away of what is within, Highball is above the PeiWei. Drab, not impressive from the outside gives way completely once you open the door and go up the candle lined steps. Dark intimate atmosphere with chandeliers, leather tufted sofas and club chairs, exposed brick walls and tasteful decor with black velvet curtains and sultry vibe music set the scene. The music selection was especially nice and further creates a sexy atmosphere. Drinks were good and I throughly enjoyed my time at highball. I went with a small group and I would recommend this speakeasy for a couple or very small group of close friends. It feels very cozy and intimate, I especially appreciated that the room temperature was decidedly warm and I even turn off my tuxedo lapel blazer which I rarely due to typically feeling cold when I go to bars. The warm temperatures if great for females and I noticed that all the girls who wore jackets there promptly took them off once they were seated. This further creates the sexy feel as then you could see all the female dresses and outfits well. Currently this is my favorite speakeasy and I cannot wait to go again!! read more

It was OK. Drinks were creative in concept but the execution didn't land. our drinks were too sweet and not boozy enough to balance it out. The flavors could use some balancing. The dark relaxing setting is nice but that was ruined by weirdly loud, bass heavy, uptempo music. It was just a miss for me, particularly at $45 (tip included) for two drinks read more

Fun night out with old and new friends! My friend made a reservation for a party of 9 at 8:45pm on a Saturday night. Reservations also require deposit of $15/person. We all arrived by 8:45pm, however, there was a wait. Not sure what the point of a reservation was, but sure, no problem! By 9:15pm, we did get seated and the hostess was apologetic and did get us all a round of shooters, so appreciated they acknowledged the fact they did not commit to the 8:45pm. Very interesting cocktail menu with lots of inventive drinks. I had the Hot SheetHotel ($16). Was a solid drink. The ambience of the place is nice and it was pretty busy and full on a Saturday night. Reminds me of a speakeasy except for the fact you can see the place very clearly as it sits on the second floor at a busy intersection. Also, it sits on top of a Pei Wei... Overall, a great night out. But not sure I would go thru the hassle again of reservations and deposits for a pricey, solid but not very memorable drink. read more

Pretty much the best cocktails in the neighborhood. I feel like you really get your money's worth and the ambiance is very relaxed and the service is excellent. read more

Loved it and was impressed from the time I walked in until I left. I actually took a date here as he arrived from Houston and was in the mood for some bourbon. I suggested us trying something new and be a bit adventurous. I had the shook up which was superior to any other drink I've had. The music was spot on and lighting was low but perfect for date conversation. My date loved his bourbon . The drinks were a little on the expensive side but we each only had two so it was perfect. Staff was gracious and attentive and as we left I was already planning our return. This is my new favorite haunt. read more

One of my favorite bars ! The location is perfect ! The drinks are creative and enjoyable ! They are so kind and make great recommendations!

Whoa, this place has certainly changed and morphed into a more swanky version of what the bar used to be! It's been a seriously long time since I've been out to a bar on a Friday night, mix toddler with pandemic and not shaving or showering for the past 18 months, you can imagine the challenge in getting motivated to get out and party, let alone show your face to, you know, other people. Well, an old buddie of mine texted me, pulled me out of my cave for the evening and this is where we landed. Shorts and a t-shirt, which is acceptable attire in 95% of the Phoenix area made me feel a bit under dressed here. There were lots of cocktail dresses, shiny shoes, sequined blouses, button up shirts and pressed slacks all glittering about the dimly lit ambiance. It reminded me of all the places I used to go to before the world ended. The cocktails were great, they looked amazing and tasted as good as they looked. The service was also delightful. I almost forgot what it was like to sit in a comfy chair, be served a tasty drink by friendly wait staff and have a great time with your friends, but tonight was a nice reminder that the world has not ended and there are places out there to enjoy life once again! read more

Highball was one of my most anticipated places to visit coming out to Phoenix and it did not disappoint at all. It's rare that I walk out of a cocktail bar absolutely loving every drink I ordered, but the drinks at Highball are all seriously top notch. The intimate atmosphere makes this place great for a date night on a weeknight. The bartenders were friendly and very engaging and gave us great recommendations of good restaurants in the area as well as good recommendations on cocktails. Anybody passing through town with some time should make it a point to grab a few cocktails here. read more

We made reservations for highball for New Years Eve. We arrived at 8:30 and were seating immediately. I love how bars are taking reservations to respect social distancing due to covid. Normally I hate sitting at the bar because of the Hard bar stools. But they have these awesome plush, large leather bar seats and they are amazing! The atmosphere is sophisticated, cool and comfortable. It gave New York vibes and I loved it. We ordered drinks and the bartender whipped them up quickly! They were so good! Unique flavors and expertly put together. I wish they had more food options but this is a great place for a pre dinner or after dinner drinks! I will definitely stop by Highball again. read more

Such a dope lil' place. It's an upstairs spot and is intimate, cute/classy. Definitely recommend having a reservation when going to any of the cocktail bars in PHX area if possible. They have a couch area that's a bit more cushy, but we sat table top for a party of 5. Shot--Green Tea is soooo good! Poured into a dainty cup and would be great for those who aren't accustomed to drinking tbh. Good place for a chill, low key kick back. read more

We found this place on a whim and so glad we did. We wanted to go to a nice place to sit down, eat, and grab a drink. We arrived here fairly early at around 8 pmish and to our luck, there was no one there! We sat at the bar and honestly, the bartender made our night! Not only did he tell us about all the amazing drinks but asked what we enjoyed so that he would make the drinks accordingly. And suggested what to try with what he said. He was super friendly and made our experience that much better! Kudos to the bartender that night! Very cute place to enjoy a night out. I'm so glad we came early before the rush of people came to actually enjoy the bartender Let me tell you about the food! The food was AMAZING!!! EVEN THE SIDES WERE TO DIE FOR! He stated everything was homemade and you can definitely tell. The pickles were on point and so were the olives! We all seriously licked the plates clean!!! If you're ever in the area you definitely need to try this place out! Service was exceptional, food was fantastic, and the drinks were tasty Overall 10/10! read more

Kind of hidden away, the Highball is easy to miss if you are walking by the building. There are definitely signs for it but since it is housed on the second floor, there aren't windows at the ground level to notice that there is a place there or get a sense of the ambiance and popularity. When you open the door, you are presented with stairs that are lit with small candles on the sides. It's dim but you can still see. Pretty romantic, I would say. When you get to the second floor, you notice couches, chairs and tables, high chair seating and a bar. The bartenders are attentive and friendly. The menu for all the drinks is pretty outstanding. The drinks are very creative and not typical ones you'd find at other places. I got the Love in León which I enjoyed immensely. Nothing like I had ever tried before. They also have a snack menu and if you are vegetarian like me, the only thing on there that you'll be able to eat is the pimento cheese dish. It comes with housemade chips. I didn't try that but I considered it. Check this place out for a night alone or one with friends. Bringing a date would be a fantastic experience, too. I really appreciated the vibe of the place and the lighting, or lack of lighting, rather. Oh, and you must know, it isn't cheap. The drink I got was 17 dollars (pretty crazy) but if you have that kind of money to spend, this is the place for you. read more

On a Saturday night and this quaint little cocktail bar gets packed. There weren't any tables available when we arrived, so I would recommend making reservations. Fortunately, the host was more than accommodating and allowed us to sit in a little "waiting area" which was really just a little bench in the midst of the normal seating area. We were able to order drinks while we waited for a table to open. We ordered a Bamm Bamm's cup, which was incredibly smoky and fruity, and an Only Fans, which was citrusy and refreshing. After about 30 minutes, a table opened up and we were seated. We left around 11pm and it seemed to be getting busier than when we arrived. read more

We really enjoyed our time as we made a reservation and we're never once rushed, we were able to really enjoy our time sipping our tasty drinks and soaking up the evening. Each of us enjoyed our drinks (great pours by the way) Bamm Bamms Cup not as overpoweringly sweet as you would think. Cake walk was delicious and a great latte almost dessert after dinner drink. Teardrop wasn't as banana forward as I was expecting. Just the right balance for someone that typically orders an old fashion or Manhattan read more
