    Came for "just one drink," stayed way longer than planned -- that should tell you everything. This place is one of those rare Phoenix staples that actually lives up to the hype. Tucked inside a downtown hotel, it somehow manages to feel both exclusive and electric at the same time. Even on a random weeknight, don't be surprised if there's a wait -- and honestly, it's worth it. The cocktails are the headline act. Not just good -- memorable. Every drink feels intentional, from the flavor balance to the presentation (which borders on theatrical in the best way). You'll see smoke, glassware you've never held before, and details that make you pause before the first sip. The vibe is dialed in. Dim, stylish, just loud enough, with a crowd that's clearly here for the experience. It's the kind of place where everything -- lighting, music, decor -- feels curated without trying too hard. Yes, it's buzzy. Yes, it's a scene. But it earns it.

    Lovely menu!

    My friend and I have never been to little rituals before but decided to come for a couple drinks before meeting our friend group for a birthday celebration. The reservation portion was easy and we arrived about 5 minutes late due to our uber taking the wrong turn. When we walked through the hotel lobby we were greeted by the front staff which was great and then took the elevator to the 5th floor. I requested seats at reservation to be by the window as it said it has a good view of phoenix. Since it was just the 4th floor, the view was ok but not spectacular as if you were on a rooftop bar. However, the space we got was private and comfortable which was great. Next time we will sit by the bar cause the vibes were more fun there it looked like. Our server was really nice and knew the menu very well. If you are a vodka drinker, there are not a lot of vodka drinks on the menu but you are allowed to request different drinks not on the menu like a porn star martini or a vodka soda. The only reason I gave this a 4 star instead of 5 is because there was a drink I wanted to get and it had gin and vodka. I asked if they could just not add the gin but she refused. This made me feel like these drinks are pre-made and not fresh because not adding gin should be easy. I understand that the drink recipe calls for it and could make the drink taste different but that should still be the client's choice. However, all in all a good experience. We also tried their Jell-O shots which were huge hahahaha

    Sydney and Frank are incredibly fun to chat and hang out with. My wife and I were able to make it out on a week day and we had a ton of fun hanging at the bar. The food and cocktails here are incredible, the menu itself is beautifully illustrated and designed, and the ambiance is cozy and relaxing.

    Want a fun night out? Need a refresh on drinks and food? Well this place will hit all of those notes! Frank and his team did an amazing job! We were very lucky as we got the last night of their holiday menu. From apple pie and carrot cake inspired drinks to Asian infused foods! The whole bar was decorated for the holidays and had so many movie references. Then the holiday drinks were on point! Apple pie, carrot cake, and pumpkin flavors what more could you ask for! Each drink was the perfect balance of flavor and alcohol. We happened to have Frank, the head bartender, serve us and his professionalism and chill entry was a pleasure! He was so nice and friendly and loved discussing his drinks and ideas. I loved the Asian inspired/infused foods. The Mac and cheese with miso was my favorite thing on the menu! The next best item was the pho French dip. The dipping sauce was some of the best pho I have had! This place is a great stop to celebrate or have a night out! Can't wait to come back.

    Friends and I came here for a meeting on a Wednesday night mid December to enjoy the holiday ambiance. It was a little confusing to find the menu was as they weee under the table. The drinks were fun and hard to decide. I choose one that was similar to an old fashion. For my meal I got the mac and cheese with chicken, it was delicious. There is no on site parking and you park on the street or in a lot. Our server was nice and due to the holiday season we were only allowed 2 hours for our reservation.

    Overrated, staff was friendly but a bit forceful/uppity, too loud, dark, & expensive, long wait for everything, and we needed a reservation so we thought it was gonna be good. When I politely told them I didn't want a drink- they were very pushy and told me they would give me more time to look again and to keep the drink menu. And they gave me a weird look & comment when I said no thank you again. Food was mid, very sweet, "fusion-food", smokey/funky tasting. this was my birthday dinner and out-of-state vacation so we wanted to stay close to the hotel. And I was hoping for a birthday dessert freebie but was kinda disappointed that I was given a small shot glass of lemonade ("virgin shot") instead. it was free, but eh... for how mediocre everything else was and how much we paid...

    Had a great evening at Little Rituals. We have been here before, but never at Christmas. This bar is located on the 4th floor of the Marriott in downtown Phoenix. It is one awards and been named one of the best bars in the country. They have decorated in the theme of Christmas movies. There are life-size cutouts of Clark Griswold and cousin Eddie, there are mogwai and Gremlins, characters from The nightmare Before Christmas, and more cutouts of Kevin and the wet bandits from home alone. The ceiling is wrapped like giant presents and there are lights and Christmas trees everywhere. It's very festive and very well themed. The menus are very cool - - they are album covers. Pull out the insert for the food menu. Our server was really great and even offered a couple of suggestions. The food menu had an Asian influence and of course the cocktails were Christmas movie themed. We ordered: *Mogwai Tai ("Gremlins" drink) *Living After Midnight ("Gremlins" drink) *Green chili chicken tacos *Smashburger *Hand cut fries Everything was very good. In fact, my husband could not stop raving about the burger. He said the ingredients were perfect balance and didn't overpower the meat, and that the meat was really well seasoned. He said this is one of the best burgers he's ever had! Remember I love a Christmas theme and Little Rituals has done it up right. If you have a chance to go, do! Make sure to make a reservation or you could be waiting a while.

    Came into Little Rituals not knowing what I wanted at all, and honestly, best decision ever. We sat at the bar and had Raquel, and she completely made our night. I told her I couldn't pick a drink, so I let her take the lead... and every single thing she chose was amazing. Not one miss. She really knows her stuff and somehow nailed our preferences without us giving her much to go off of. Beyond that, she was just so attentive, fun, and easy to talk to. You can tell she genuinely cares about the experience she's giving people, not just making drinks. If you go, sit at the bar and ask for Raquel. She turned what could've been a normal night out into something way more memorable.

    This place is the bomb.com. Amazing cocktail selection and decor, bartenders are world class and the service was phenomenal. I loved the mural near the bar. Really cool spot, very inviting. You have to try this place.

    We celebrated my husband's birthday in August at Little Rituals, and it was a fantastic experience! I made a dinner reservation for four, and although we arrived on time, we had to wait a few minutes for the hostess to greet us. As soon as she arrived at her stand, she promptly seated us. The space features a nice view of the city and a speakeasy vibe. Our server was wonderful throughout our visit. She was attentive and provided great recommendations. I had the following: Mama Fratelli $17 Hurricane fries $14 Umami Caesar salad $15 + shrimp $7 Vengeance & Fashion $17 The drinks were excellent, well balanced, and not to mention, beautiful! The food was delicious. I really enjoyed the hurricane fries and salad. The rest of my party also enjoyed their items. We would definitely return!

    Can I give this place 10 stars absolutely fantastic! Was visiting AZ with my daughter. She told me about a place which prompted me to say 100% yes. We of course ordered fries cause that's how I roll. Love fries if you couldn't tell on previous reviews. I'm really funny about egg whites in a drink. Just weird to me and I have tried some in NM and I was not a fan. Well that's until I came here. I had a whiskey sour with egg whites, wow! Then another with amaretto and egg whites all mixed in and shaken. Well the bartender made a believer out of me. Those drinks were outstanding! The place was awesome. Could be romantic or casual. Darker ambience with wonderful lighting. Bar had a pluthera of options. Not sure a drink anywhere else will compare but I know when I return, I'm definitely stopping here again to sit at the bar and have fantastic drinks with egg whites.

    Came here for drinks with friends after a comedy show at Stand Up Live and this spot was so cute! There was a short wait, but honestly worth it. We had a cozy window seat, and I loved their creative touch of keeping the menus tucked under the tables. The space itself has such a cool vibe and it's located on the 4th floor of a hotel, which makes it feel a little hidden and special. The menu is pretty big, with lots of drink options plus food as well. We kept it simple and ordered fries to share. They were tasty, but heads up: the ketchup is spicy! Everyone enjoyed their drinks, and our bartender was great--super nice and really helpful in explaining the different cocktails so I could pick one I'd like. Overall, this was such a fun little place to hang out in downtown Phoenix. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area!

    Nice spot for pre-game/pre-concert drinks. It's a chilled environment, off the beaten path. The staff had great recommendations for a newbie like me. The waitress was spot on for my taste in cocktails. I ordered a side of fries and it took no time to arrive at the table. Great views! It looks directly to the Phx Arena entrance. There is limited seating, so I would advise a reservation if you want to dine in. There is open seating at the bar. Parking can be a pain, but there is garage parking nearby. The restaurant is located in a hotel. You take the elevator up. Accessible entrance and seating.

    Is it 21+ only?

    Yep. They require you to show ID

    Is the kitchen open late on Saturdays with full menu?

    Yes! Our kitchen is open with full menu until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays!

    Any way to avoid the $20 parking?

    Google other parking. Sometimes the lot directly across the street has parking but it's still close to $20 for years there hasn't been anything lower then $20 in that area.

    Do you guys have a reggae night?

    Sorry, no themed musical nights at this time.

    How about kids to grab a bite?

    Hi there! Unfortunately we are a 21+ establishment only, as we are primarily a cocktail bar.

    For a party of 20, I would like to buy my group their first drink? How is that handled and what is the average price for one drink? What would the setup be for 20 -25 people? Do you have any entertainment, if so when? Thank you!

It was busy, but not packed, which made the service stand out more than it should have. I had to ask for water twice, never got a refill, and overall felt largely ignored--minimal eye contact, no real warmth, just an impersonal feel that didn't match the space. It felt like a place that may be a bit of a victim of its own success--popularity has grown, but delivery hasn't fully kept pace. Part of the appeal here is the permanent taco truck outside, which I know from past visits is excellent, and I love the truck's outspoken, unapologetic support for immigrants. That said, the cocktail itself was excellent. I was specifically looking for a coffee-based drink before heading to another event, and the Cambures al Estilo Foster delivered on flavor. It was tiny, though--served in a small stemmed glass, gone in a few sips. It did the job, but some may find the portion underwhelming for the price. No major complaints, but nothing pulling me back either. I'm adding a fourth star on a bit of a hunch--I'd like to think they can dial it back in if I return.

We got to wren and wolf around 7:10 and they had our "tickets" for us. When we got in front of carry on, we were the first ones in line. We expected to get on sooner because the tickets said 7:30 but I guess the time to actually go inside, not when takeoff is. We sat down and got welcome drinks and peanuts. About 10 minutes after they started to take drink orders. I'm a lightweight so I didn't get anything but my husband got the chilte collab drink. It tasted a lot like tomato and was super unique. The tuna tostada was great alongside the pepper on the side. We then got mole which was the star of the show. The mole was so unique and spicy, I'd never had a mole like that before. The flight was 4d in that it moved like a real airplane. They then come around for martini cart service. They shake it in front of you so we had to try the dirty martini togarashi. It was super unique and perfectly salty. We then got the chilte taco which was good but nothing special. The dessert however was amazing! It tasted like a cheesecake. We then "landed" - it was faster than I thought, as it's 1.5 hours but settling in and getting everyone inside takes a while. The bathroom was a cool airplane looking bathroom, but huge.

We had a 7:30pm flight to Mexico City and arrived about 10 minutes early which ended up being perfect because there was already a line forming outside. You really feel the 70s vibes from the moment you step onto the "airplane". The team did an amazing job with the ambiance and you can tell a lot of thought was put into every aspect of the space. It's such a fun immersive experience. Server and bartenders were friendly and fun, and the vibes all around were just super happy. I loved the rolling martini cart that came around! The only reason I'm knocking a star is because when we booked (a party larger than 5) I emailed with the team there for our reservation. They mentioned the option to upgrade the reservation to a $100/person meal option which I declined. After we were seated small bites were passed around the plane. We noticed every table received it, so I truly thought it was part of the standard experience. It wasn't until the 3rd round of small bites went around that I realized we will probably be charged for the full service experience (which we were). Because this was a new experience for us, my suggestion would be to confirm the experiences with our table prior to passing around offerings. We aren't familiar with what to expect, so we didn't know it wasn't standard until it was too late. Otherwise, we had a great experience!
