I wouldn't say we had the best experience. The food was pretty decent, but they brought my friends food out and then mine. Mine was wrong so it had to be sent back and the chicken had to be added to my salad-which took like 20 minutes. Our entire experience create us to be an hour late to the concert next-door. The bartender was kind and was interested in making sure we had the beverage of choice. read more

This was a fun little surprise! My friends and I just wanted to grab a drink after a long day of travel, and this was the bar at the hotel. This place had VIBES. We were very comfortably dressed, and no one looked sideways at us, but there were definitely people dressed to the nines! There was a party of women next to us, that were celebrating a birthday. We obliged them by taking their pictures all over the instagramable bar. Ryan was our waiter, and he is tops. Made some really good recommendations and was welcoming and attentive. I was just there for the drinks and enjoyed a lovely glass (or two) of wine, but my friends were feeling more adventurous and ordered some of their inventive cocktails. Including a couple of "Shot in the Dark" which could be ANYTHING. Also a burger was ordered and then brought up repeatedly for the next two days. According to him, it was possibly the best burger he had ever had. His face lit up at first bite. The menu is a mishmash of interesting options and the whole experience was not what we anticipated. In the best way. read more

Me and my and best friend went here to celebrate us just being us ! We got bao buns and a Mediterranean board ! The boa buns were very spicy and the hummus was very lemony . We also got espresso martinis that were good. Waiter was very nice as well and accommodating would definitely go back.

Little Rituals is tucked away on the 4th floor of the Courtyard Marriott, next door to the Mortgage Matchup Center, and directly across from the Barrister's Building (which was used in the opening scene of Pyscho). Its food menu has an Asian flare to it (we HIGHLY recommend the meatballs and the hurricane fries) and the cocktail menu is unlike anything I have ever seen before, which is why they have won so many awards! We ordered a couple of different drinks but the winner, by far, was the "Backseat Driver". Make sure to book a reservation or get there early as it fills up quick! read more

After a day of proving I'm a functional member of society to a judge who looked like he'd rather be anywhere else, I headed to Little Rituals to prove I am, in fact, a hot mess. If the DA wants to prove I'm unstable, they should just show the security footage of me trying to look "composed" while accidentally inhaling the tajín rim on my drink and coughing like a Victorian orphan. The Final Sentence: I've been judged by the state all afternoon, so it was actually refreshing to be judged by a bartender who clearly knows I'm using "celebratory drinks" as a cover for "I forgot what sunlight looks like." read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

Second time we've been here, visits a year apart, service is good, it's one of those dark ass bars where the lights are dim af so get ready to squint, drinks always good with unique flavors that work well together, no flops, the milk punch is a MUST TRY, i PROMISE it's so good, and it comes in a little tea cup :,) overall very average food tho sonoran dog trio was good, but it's just three mini hot dogs, nothing special, you get what you're expecting. umami caesar salad with miso dressing had an overwhelming lemon flavor?? when lemon is not listed in the ingredients at all so idk where that was coming from, but honestly not a huge deal, a salad with lemon isn't an insane thing to make except for the fact it's so lemon-y there's no hint of savory or "umami" from the miso, it just ended up tasting like a lemon kale salad. miso mac with grilled chicken, we ordered the large portion, and isn't a very large portion at all. i'm pretty sure this is like a mini skillet like the ones you see at cracker barrel lol (pic below) portion size super small, the mac itself wasn't bad, i thought it was kinda flavorless, i think they use a lot more milder cheeses so it wasn't very cheesy? my date said it was good tho is idk just me i guess got the pho french dip last time and the sandwich itself was nothing special, but the broth was incredible, i wanted to drink the broth more than eat the sandwich, take that as you will read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Little Rituals - Another great visit at Little Rituals! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Absolutely incredible spot! Certainly the best "hotel bar" I've ever been to and probably one of the best bars overall that I've ever been to! The decor is super cool and funky and the staff were all awesome and friendly and knowledgeable. The banh mi sliders and disco fries were both super tasty with awesome flavors -- great fusion of Asian and Mexican style foods. 2 of us split them for dinner and with the drinks were we stuffed (kinda sadly because we wanted to try other food items!). A friend joined us later and between the 3 of us we tried 9 different drinks which were all super unique and very tasty. Pleasure Island, Reality Check, Magic Stick, Breakfast of Champions, Mr. Hollywood, Chillable Red, Unusual Suspects, Radicculous Spritz, and Cold Pastrami were interesting, boozy (in a good way), tasty, and some of the most interesting and unique cocktails I've ever had. read more

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... read more

Who would expect an awesome cocktail bar in a Residence Inn of all places? My buddy and I were in town seeing The Format the the AZ Fair and were at another cocktail bar that was closing down the street when we found this one still open on Google Maps.

I was heading to a concert downtown and found this on Yelp. It ended up being on the 4th floor of the Courtyard so I was a little skeptical. But it was really cute with a good lively vibe. They have a massive variety of cocktails that are beautifully presented and delicious. Looks like it's the same people's Bitter & Twisted so it makes sense. Our server was very friendly but really busy-seems like they could have used an extra server. We ordered the Chicken Meatballs, Mediterranean Board and Umami Caesar with Shrimp. It was a ton of food. All very good but not exceptional. I would give the cocktails 5 stars and definitely recommend at least going by for a drink-but make a reservation as it gets busy. read more

Absolutely LOVED this place! May be one of my favorite speakeasy style bars in phoenix!! Their cocktails are amazing!! Request seats 7 & 8 at the bar to watch the magic happen. I literally could sit and watch them make cocktails all day. They're that good! 10 out of 10! read more

Really good service. Charity was awesome. Hands down the best funky Christmas decorations and very fun vibe. The food, i was not expecting a lot but then was totally blown away. The chicken sliders and shrimp boa buns were incredible. The chicken tacos were just ok. Something unexpected was the horchata tree leches. It was banana flavor and topically i don't love that but this i snorted in 30 seconds. I could not believe i liked it so much. Will be back because there are sooo many items i want to try. read more

I love this place, and it always feels like a special occasion. I have been during the holiday popup, which is always fun, and just on a random weeknight where we sat at the bar and had the best service ever. They give a special shot for your birthday, and they are always really good. The cocktails are unique and complex, and the menu is so robust that it is hard to decide what to have. The food is also surprisingly good. Even something as simple as their bread and butter dish is really satisfying. The ambiance is spot on, especially considering it is in a slightly strange location. This is one of my go-tos when I have friends in town because it is a top quality cocktail experience. read more

Very cute fourth floor cocktail bar in downtown Phoenix. The aesthetic gives 1900 speakeasy. The service was great, we had a party of 6 which was the limit we could do on our reservation. The coconut rice was freaking delicious under the chicken meatballs. Bill was about $250 with the 22% auto gratuity (parties over 5) for 9/10 drinks and the two food items. Would go back even just for the bush doctor drink by itself. If you can resist and let it sit, the cinnamon stick infuses the drink even more. Such an elevated experience. read more

Overall a cute cocktail bar located inside the Courtyard Marriott on the fourth floor. Made a Saturday reservation with a friend for their Christmas pop up. The holiday drinks are unique and each priced at about $18. They were overall good and different from what you would typically see on a menu. For food, we ordered the chicken sandwich and coconut curry mussels. The coconut curry mussels were great in flavor but there wasn't much curry in the dish and I would have appreciated a slightly larger portion for the price --it is mostly shell. The chicken sandwich was also on the pricier side. read more

Stayed at the Courtyard Marriot which this bar is attached to this hotel. Which is the reason I found out about it. Decided to make a pit stop before heading to PHX Arena for a concert. Didn't bother to get a table since I was only going to be there for a bit. So sat at the bar and this was during the Xmas season, so everything was decorated nicely set up. The drink is got was a coconut flavor on a gremlin cup. Bartender was attentive and the whole vibe in there was nice, will definitely come to this little bar whenever I'm in town. read more

We stopped by for cocktails and a quick bite to eat while we were waiting for our friends to meet us downtown. We didn't have reservations but we able to get a seat at the bar pretty quickly on a Thursday night. The bar had a fun vibe and the bartenders were amazing. This place is a gem. I had never heard of it before my wife's friend suggested that we meet there before heading out. The cocktails were probably some of the best that I have ever had. The mussels that we ordered were delicious. I will definitely be going back. read more

I was so excited to finally have the opportunity to come here, as I've heard nothing but awesome things about this place. This upstairs bar overlooks downtown Phoenix and has super fun, bright decor. There isn't really parking, so you'll have to find a spot on the street or in a garage. Reservations are recommended! My friends and I ordered the Hurricane Frites which were absolutely incredible!!! I would order this every time!!!! We only had time for one drink and unfortunately I don't remember the name of the cocktail I ordered. However, I do know that it had mezcal in it and was pretty good! I cannot wait to come back here and try more of their cocktails! read more

I love new experiences. Little Rituals isn't a standard hotel bar. There's so many unique food and drink items on the menu and it might take a few trips to try them all.

I was on the hunt for some holiday themed bars and drinks so when I saw that Little Rituals had just that I was excited because I've been wanting to go there. So we went on Saturday around 9 and had a rude awakening because we needed a reservation or to join the waitlist which was an hour long plus the line to even join waitlist, but the hostess was very sweet and explained the waitlist and added my party of 2 it. While waiting to be texted it was our time, we just people watched! But not too long like we were expecting maybe 20 min we were texted it was our turn to be seated! Once seated we enjoyed all of their movie themed decorations which pictures really don't do justice and the view from our table was amazing to see the downtown area! We ordered 2 specialty holiday drinks that we discussed with our server Ryan who was also great and explained all the deco and how it was placed in the bar. Our drinks were both tasty and light as one would think holiday drinks are heavy but not these. My time at Little Rituals was awesome and I will definitely be back to try some food and more drinks! read more
