This is a decent cocktail bar with some great looking and very thoughtful and original creations. We had a bit of a snafu getting our table after we were told it was ready (ended up helping the hostess prepare a different one for us, actually), but overall the service was good. It's got all the chill vibes you would want, the crowd was diverse, and the chairs were comfortable. The music selection seemed a bit off, but maybe it was just that night. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a relaxed evening out. read more

The service and drinks were on point. I would definitely go back for a "night cap." Yup, the place is cool n da gang

Very enjoyable spot with unbelievably unique drinks great ambiance and superb service. 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

First time at Highball, first off the location is great. About a ten minute Uber from downtown Phoenix, the speakeasy vibe is not lost as you climb up to an actually quite large bar. The drinks were very flavorful, for me they were a bit on the sweeter side. I would probably ask the server if I was to go again how sweet the drink was before ordering, they were garnished beautifully and in cute glasses. read more

This place was amazing, superb service and really great drinks. I had the Pink your Poison and honestly I've never tasted anything like that before. It was very balanced, tasty and light. My favorite cocktail by far, 10/10 recommend! read more

Would have been 5 stars for just drinks. TTP, Bam Bam Cup, and Amongst The Trees were all amazing. Brittle and chicken were good, but not come-back-for worthy Service was SUPER slow!! Like crazy slow to the point where I'm not sure I'll bother coming back with how many amazing cocktail bars there are in town. I'll give them another chance sometime though and update this if appropriate read more

Delicious, one of a kind cocktails and service ... everything on the small menu was delicious even the popcorn... made for a very laid back enjoyable night read more

If you are looking for a cute yet sophisticated speak easy, this is your spot. They have really transformed this place from the prior owners. It is such a vibe with their leather couches and dim lighting. It's a great place to stop by for drinks. I am personally a tequila lover and I really enjoyed The Devil Knows from the menu. I will definitely need to go back to try some more drinks. read more

Excellent drinks and the Voodoo popcorn absolutely slapped. I hate popcorn and I enjoyed this. The Mai Tai, Racehorse Charlie, and Playa Del Amor all spoke to us. We really enjoyed this place and atmosphere, and can't wait to come back read more

Absolutely fantastic bar. We were able to out the bar an hour before they opened to take our engagement pictures. The communication with Libby about scheduling, was amazing. They were so inviting and supportive of us taking our pictures there. When we arrived the service was top notch, our drinks were exquisite, and it was the perfect setting for our photo shoot. The staff was conversational, welcoming, helpful and so kind. So special that we have a memory there now! Will definitely be back! read more

One of my top 10 bars in Phoenix. The drinks and atmosphere are fantastic but the attention to details sets them apart. Carefully crafted cocktails with high-end ingredients and each one presented in a unique way. The room is layed out in a way that is cozy and inviting - candles add an ambiance that makes it feel like home. The bar is meticulously laid out and clean. Thanks to the staff - Libby, Mitch and Casey. All professionals who really care about their customers. read more

Such a chill little bar and drinks are really good. Perfect place to get a have drink and have conversation. And the service is great!

It's Saturday night, around 10 and I'm admittedly tired (I'm approaching my late 40's and 10PM is late to me!) I make the tired walk up the candlelit flight of stairs to the hostess table and I am REINVIGORATED! Highball is an extremely cool spot and the energy it's giving me is palpable. It's dark, slightly dreamy and the speakers are playing some Kodak Black! My friend and I are sit at the bar. We've each got enough energy for 1 drink apiece. I order the Tropic Thunder, which is a Vodka and fruit based punch and it's delicious. I also order us some Kimchi Popcorn and that is equally delicious. My word, Highball is setting the high watermark for cool drinking spots that Saturday night. So now we've each had a drink apiece and are ready to leave. One for the road before our Uber come to pick us up? Why the hell not? We each have a Miller High Life. My first High Life ever....I really like it! What a great end to a fun Saturday night! The staff, bartenders and drinks were all fantastic. I shall return! *Tip* They have drink specials daily from 6-7PM. Get some! read more

A well-executed bar that has great ambiance. Swung by on a Thursday night and there were maybe 4-5 other parties and a few other guest sitting at the bar. The hostess/waitress was attentive and the drinks were superb. I'll be coming back very soon! read more

I celebrated my birthday with a large group of friends. Libby was incredible with helping to book the reservation. Answered my endless list of questions without delay or agitation. The night of was an absolute success. Everyone enjoyed their cocktails - which were creative and balanced! Great mixologist. And a big shout out to our server, Sam, who was unphased by the 16+ people attacking her for more drinks. Food options - small menu- but big value. Snacks were also delicious. read more

Highball is my standard of a great cocktail bar. Dark, moody, intimate, and not loud so you can actually talk to people. Cocktails are made with unique ingredients like soy sauce (don't knock if you if you haven't tried it) and are reasonably priced. Make sure to make a reservation, they do take walk ins but the place is busy. read more

Not so hidden gem on the corner of McDowell and 7th Ave. As you walk up the stairs to the beautiful golden glow coming from above, the anticipation grows. The furniture is comfortable and classy to appeal the speakeasy vibe. Lighting is mellow yet enough to help guide through the menu. Drinks are fun, classy, nostalgic and well balanced. The staff is knowledgeable about their spirits and more than welcoming. My husband and I enjoyed ourselves and already have reservations for this week. Cheers! read more

Next level cocktails. Service was impeccable. And the staff was very knowledgeable. We loved all the drinks that they recommended based on our preferences. Ambiance was old school. Very classy read more

Back again on a Friday and will probably be back again next Friday lol. I've been a somewhat regular for a few years and love this place. I made a reservation for 3 people this time for 8PM and they were ready for us on time as usual! I honestly wanted to get like 6 or 7 drinks but obviously didn't lol. Everything on their new menu (posted 1/23/23) is amazing. I got 3 drinks including the Shapeshifter, Typhoon Lagoon, and Made in the Shade. All were amazing! I love tigers and they are my favorite animals so I was pleasantly surprised to see a drink in a tiger mug lol (Shapeshifter). All 3 of those drinks were very good with varying flavor profiles but all a bit on the sweet side. There is something for everyone on this menu. Make a reservation for this nice and dimly lit bar that is particular great for dates (there were a lot of couples coming in and out this particular Friday), friends catching up, or just a regular hangout spot. I saw maybe 20 people in varying group sizes get turned away in the span of our 2 hr enjoyment since their reservations get full on weekends. I also noticed it has been getting a bit louder inside than I remember from a few years ago, but there were like 15 people in the bar back then versus 35 lol. They're obviously doing something right as it's getting popular here. Keep up the good work with the varying menus and great service! read more

Such a cute place with a great vibe! My girlfriends and I did a little girls night out and got dressed up and had a great time trying all the drinks. We each got something different and their array of flavors and tastes were amazing! There is definitely something on the menu for everyone. I also got the Marinated Mozzarella & Tomato which was a great light dish to eat by yourself or share that complimented the drinks. The only reason why this review didn't get the full five stars is because we made a reservation and there was a mix up with another party which we knew about because the staff was talking about it very obviously and loudly in front of our table which made it really awkward when I felt like they could have had the conversation in the back or by the hostess stand. Everything ended up getting sorted but it did cause for a little awkwardness. read more

The ambiance is beautiful and upscale. This is a bar I like to dress up for and talk with friends or a date. The bar staff does incredible mocktails. I will definitely be returning. read more

I would nominate Highball for the best cocktails in Phoenix with one of the sexiest atmospheres to relax and grab a drink in town. I'm so happy I live down the street from this gem of a place. Unlike the woke bars like 1912 where there's aura of "we're too cool for our own good", the owners and waitresses here are incredibly down to earth and delightful. A+++ in my book. read more

AMAZING!!! My husband and I went for a date night. The ambience was amazing and the staff was amazing too. As soon as we walked in the hostess provided us with a lot of helpful information regarding the drink options and even made great recommendations. The staff were very attentive and the drinks did not disappoint. We will be back soon read more

(Where side bar used to be) first I want to say I love what they did with the place. I wish I took pictures of inside the sleek and cozy lounge but I was deep in some cocktails. The ambience is amazing. Dim lights, good decor, and some tunes on. A great place for a date or a place to soak in some ambience. I'm definitely coming back! read more

We enjoyed our drinks and had a great time until we wanted to close out and leave. The guy closing us out was cool all night and then served us some serious sass when we asked to split our tab. I'm sure we are not going to be the first or last people to request this but there are several ways to handle it in a professional manner such as "We appreciate you supporting our business but next time we prefer that you guys pay on one tab it just makes it easier on us. Have a good night!". I won't be going out of my way to come back. read more

I was really looking forward to trying this place but was disappointed. I was going to get the bahm bahm which was the fruity pebble drink but was warned it tastes a lot like mescal so I decided not to. My friend ordered it and it definitely does and doesn't taste anything like fruity pebbles at all! Service wasn't great but the decor is really nice. read more

I like the design and atmosphere of this place. You can sit at a reserved space or just sit in a social area and meet new people. Their drinks are pretty darn creative. For the most part they are pretty tasty. I recommend checking out this place if you have the time. read more
