I was cut off after two drinks. The bartender said she felt like I had over consumed. This is after I had an order of bread with the two cocktails and I stated that I was staying in the hotel and wouldn't be driving. She said she didn't care. However, she continued to serve others that had consumed way more than me but they were her friends, who also happened to be the instagram content owners for the bar. They were served multiple cocktails and shots but I'm cut off at two!! Give me a break!! They also weren't charged for their drinks because, hey you're "family" so drinks are free and drink as much as you like. I watched the whole thing. I was totally 100% targeted. Very frustrating. I know I'll get the excuse from the bar that.....the law etc. It was only two cocktails, totally unacceptable. The bar and cocktails are great but the help needs work!!! read more

Very good service and staff. Recommend coming here. Love it, will be coming back. The food is great and drinks are amazing

No one told me how good the food is!! We popped by Little Rituals hoping they'd be able to get us in without a reservation and we got lucky! We were originally going for just drinks but the food menu looked so good we got a Gardeners Grilled Cheese & Fried Chicken Sandwich and both were AMAZING! The drinks were awesome too. Big fan of their espresso martini. Charity was our server and she was such a vibe. We had a great time and can't wait to come back! read more

Love Little Rituals, was such a good find. Located on the 4th Floor of a Marriott it's an amazing spot to grab drinks and to look out at downtown Phoenix. They do have a food menu with some great options but their drinks are the feature and worth the visit. I would recommend making a reservation especially if you have a large group. read more

This was my second time here - sat at the bar. Great HH and fun bartender. Loved the kale salad and med board. Drinks were tasty

5 starts because the service was great and its a cool spot. First, remember to read you only got 120 time limit on weekends. The drinks were amazing. It was our first time here and celebrated my husband's birthday. The female at the front, the hostess or whatever she was so rude. Our waiter was awesome, given the time restrictions. Also, It would have been nice to be notified that the oven was not working, did not get to try the full menu given the price we pay to eat just bites. I will be back to check out more drinks and hopefully a full menu. read more

Great vibes and drinks! Beautiful place on the 4th floor of the hotel. The attention to detail and ambiance was well done. Their service, food, and drinks were all perfect. Not a single bad item and I feel like we ordered half the menu! I highly recommend making reservations. I can't get over the drink presentation and not comprising taste. I think that's why I'm praising as much as I am. A lot of places can be all aesthetic with their drinks and location, but lack in ingredients and overall taste...you will not have that problem here! read more

CUTE and TRENDY Get a reservation here on YELP a day or two prior. This is on the 4th floor of the Marriott .. pretty well guided as you get to the entrance of the hotel. We were kind of a "walk-in" as we did not have a reservation, however the gentleman taking names was pretty swift getting everyone in. My guest and I waited about 20min (we sat at the bar) which is fine because it was Saturday night! We ordered a couple drinks each (midnight snack, smooth operator etc) and let me tell you they were GOOOOOOD! This place is known for their drinks and bartenders so I hear! The food was ok... we the the (Hurricane umami fries) I'll say they went SUPER SKIMPY with the meat and gravy that went on top of the fries....why? Make it bomb food and hearty so that I drink more! My two drinks were tasty and a medium strength. My guests drinks were also good! That midnight snack was just adorable! Overall I'd go back and make a reservation... LITTLE RITUALS don't go cheap on the food... oh and peeps DRESS UP, it's cozy, trendy, and classy. ***you can't tell they prioritize the dressed up people rather than the casual off the street shorts and sandals crowd (sorry but dress to impress) *** read more

This is the Marriott's Residence Inn's cocktail lounge on the 4th floor. What particularly made it great was how the cocktail menu specifies which cocktails can be made with no alcohol whatsoever, perfect for those in your party who don't drink. In addition, the service was good - a lively staff who routinely checked on us. My friend ordered the "Coupette Colada" with no alcohol while I had the boozy one. Hers essentially tasted like a spiced coconut shake, it was delicious. Mine tasted of mostly rum with some coconut sorbet and spices. They also price them accordingly which is very fair. My friend's without alcohol was $11, while mine with a lot of rum was $15. For parking, there are plenty of parking garages nearby (e.g. Cityscape East Garage) or you can valet your car at the hotel for $8, just ask for validation at the bar. There is also a light rail stop very close by (a pass for one day is $4). read more

Good drinks not a great place to mingle with others. Definitely bring the crew you want to talk with. But great service and creative pairings. Like the decor too. Good music for the type of place. Prices are expectedly high. read more

The cocktails are some of the most unique that I've ever had. Very good. Great service too!

Our go to for downtown concert nights, Reservations are a must. Swanky intimate decor.Haven't had a cocktail I didn't like, Full disclosure of flavor experience. However we were pleasantly surprised by the banana split it could serve several! Had to take some to go. We could have easily shared the pho dip . Can't wait for the next time. So much more to explore. Bring your foodie friends and leave picky eaters down the street. read more

I would like to start by saying that this place USED to be one of my favorite spots! I have been here about 4 times and loved it every time. This last time though was extremely disheartening. Me and 3 others in my party were turned away and here's how it happened. Before we arrived, we called Little Rituals to make them aware that we were running behind for our 8pm reservation due to our Uber being stuck in traffic. We spoke to Erin and she told us that we would be okay to arrive at 8:30pm because our table is being held and it would just cut our 2hr time down that we're allowed. We arrived around 8:25pm and a party of 6 was in front of us. They had reserved a table for 4 people and Erin offered to sit them in the area next to the check in desk due to them not making the reservation for the proper amount. The party of 6 pitched a fit and said "NO! I don't want to sit out here!" More words were exchanged and Erin said that she would see what she can do. She walked them in and sat them down immediately. When Erin came back to assist us, one guy in the party came up to Erin and said "Here hold on to this" as he handed her what appeared to be a $20 bill. When Erin got our name for our reservation she said that we couldn't be seated due to us not arriving within the 15 minute timeframe of our reservation. We made her aware that she had told us differently on the phone. She said that she knew what she told us but her manager then changed the fact that we would be able to come at 8:30pm due to them allowing so many walk ins. She then offered the same spot to us that she offered the party before us. We then said that we also don't want to sit there because of what we were told over the phone. She refused to seat us and we took our business over to Bitter and Twisted (which NEVER fails us). We traveled about 45 miles from the West Valley to have our family from out of town experience this place, because we were such fans of this place, and we were turned away. Never have I witnessed this kind of discrimination and I will never return. read more

Great food and drinks. I'll definitely be going back. If you plan on going during the weekend make a reservation. It get busy.

Okay okay okay! New spot and the vibe is nice! Downtown by the arena so definitely a pregame spot for the upscale casual types. Craft Cocktails aplenty and delicious to boot. I tried probability to many but that's the point! Now the food. The sliders were okay. Just okay for me because I don't like sweat meat. To me meat is supposed to be savory not sweet and these sliders were very sweet. So sweet that I couldn't tell why type of meat it was. I think it was pork but not quite sure. Shishido peppers were delicious. They come with a dipping sauce that was very complementary. Definitely recommend if you like Shishidos. Hurricane fries. Sliders came with a side so for an upgrade I ordered the hurricane fries. They look like a hurricane hit your veggie patch and blew them all over your fries, but they are quite tasty. Try them with the spicy catchup! I'll definitely come back to this place. read more

Great bar inside the Marriott courtyard downtown Phoenix. Raquel was awesome so friendly and knowledgeable.

I recently visited Phoenix for a conference, and stayed in the Marriott. Due to my daily timing, I was more or less tied to downtown. Little Rituals was the only place I could find that wasn't totally lame, and quite the contrary: great vibe, pretty view (at night), cool staff, underground hip-hop playing constantly, and attractive customers. The menu was about the best I could find downtown, lots of interesting and fresh options. If you're in the area, seek it out. read more

Little Rituals - Cocktail - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Little rituals has a great vibe, and is really conveniently located if you are staying at the hotel! However, not a great value for what it is. Definitely overpriced for what they give you, but you can absolutely still come for a good time. (Just know you'll be paying for it ) The service is okay, nobody rude but kind of just there doing the bare minimum. I had the carnitas Mac and cheese, and another in my party the grilled cheese as well and it definitely wasn't bad, but not really good either and super small portions. I actually don't even think I would call the max and cheese "carnitas max and cheese" because there were the tiniest strings of meat in there like someone thought of carnitas while cooking it but forgot to add the meat. Drinks were okay, nothing special. I would pass this up, but if you're in desperate need and at the hotel it's an option. read more

There are plenty of interesting eats in downtown Phoenix, this place stood out at me because its located in the Courtyard by Marriot Downtown.. Now you all know that I'm usually happy to eat in a restaurant that is part of a hotel / resort. They usually have decent food quality, fair to exceptional service and at price-points that make sense for the style of meal you are trying to have. Little Rituals came up on a local search and the reviews had one thing in common that it was an interesting place that felt like it didn't "Belong" in a hotel, this clearly caught my eye! Now I tried to look at the menu online, it appeared (at the time of this review) that the restaurants web site was having issues and there was no menu to look at so I turned to the next best thing... the online pictures and reviews put up by others. I quickly made a reso and we were off to dine. Lets start with parking.. if you plan to visit this restaurant simply pull up the hotel valet station and tell them you are having dinner at Little Rituals and they will quickly park your car and its "Free"! We made our way up to the 4th floor with the hotel indoor pool being off to one side and Little Rituals on the other. First impressions of the waiting area and hostess stand were ringing true to what people were saying online... that is "Different" I'm not sure how to describe it... "Trendy" and dark come to mind. We were sat right away as we had a reso (Which we made 30min prior). As we hit our table we saw the dining rooms were about 75% seated, and they were mostly locals that were in for a bite before heading out to the Suns game which was next door and started at 8pm. The Hostess had to fill us in on the swager of the experience, first off, the menus are hidden under the table, so you have to kind of feel around for them. Once we had eyes on the offerings Rose was in love with the craft cocktail list and I was... well not impressed with the wine selections. They had a total of 5 wines to choose from and 4 of them were white with the only red option being a Cab Franc from France. Ok-Ok I get it... it's a cocktail bar and not a wine bar... Rose settled on "The Conversation Starter" ($16) and I got a glass of the Cab Franc ($16). As for Appetizers we ordered the Sonoran Elote Dogs ($15) and the Lamb Meatballs ($16).. Our drinks hit the table, brought over by the Mixologist and she even pointed out the fact that I got red wine saying "Look who's rock-in the Red Wine tonight)... Yup it's a cocktail bar... Not a Wine Bar! Our App's came out about 8min later, presentation was pretty good.. the Elote Dogs were mini Wagyu hotdogs dipped in batter and fried then seasoned... for what they were, they were OK. Onto the Lamb Meatballs, these were unfortunately a mis... The presentation was good but the dish needs help, the meatballs as well as the sauce were not hot, maybe room temperature but not hot. The entire dish also had no flavor, the meatballs had no real presence and the sauce was very flat and boring.. everything was bland and could have at the very least used salt. Onto the entrée's... Rose ordered the Cioppino ($38) and I ordered the Steak Frites ($MKT- was $48). The Entrees arrived about 15min after the Apps which was good timing and space between course's. The Cioppino was not what I would have "Classified" as a traditional Cioppino dish.. the dish was more of sauteed seafood in a butter sauce with two pieces of sliced multigrain bread as opposed to seafood cooked in a spicy tomato broth served with a crusty baguette. The flavors were fine but I wouldn't call this a Cioppino. My Steak Frites turned out to be a 1/2" slice off the Muscle on Roast end of the beef tenderloin. Unfortunately this dish was also a mis.. if you are going to serve tenderloin...do it the right way, serve a traditional cut off the center, it can be a 4oz portion just order the 5-in down Tenderloins to butcher. The Fries were also bad, seemed like they were the cheapest option in the food guide and that's what was ordered and served. Again, no seasoning, not a hint of salt and pepper on anything. A quick note on service, I will say that the Front of House team worked well together to control the experience from start to finish and were efficient. I'm usually a big fan of Hotel restaurants but in this case I'm not sure we'd come back simply because the food was not up to par... The menu is creatively written but poorly executed by the culinary team. The dining room is cool and trendy with a great view of downtown 1st and central area. This is definitely a great place to grab dinks and have good conversation... you could talk about the inside of the dining room for an hour by itself! We may give this place another shot, the ambiance alone is worth the re-visit! Enjoy! Read More of Our Reviews at www.YourEverydayEats.com read more

Marriott is a good hotel chain, but having been to at least a dozen across America, their bars had a tendency to be pretty pedestrian. They had limited beverage selection, no personality, and always closed so gosh darn early. It might come as a surprise then that they've really hit the jackpot and landed a concept among the best speakeasies in Phoenix. Nestled into the fourth floor of their downtown location, Little Rituals is the cooler, clandestine, and less ostentatious younger sibling of Cenpho mainstay Bitter & Twisted. Consider it more refined. Optimized, even, and step right in. Service is amazing, and no matter how busy it's been, the attention I've received has felt caring and individualized. This is whether I make it in to start my evening, or if I pop in to savor just one drink after 1am. I recommend starting your night with a boilermaker. No, not the traditional one, even if it is Four Roses Bourbon and Miller High Life, but their take on it--with passion fruit mezcal made in-house and complemented by a mouth-puckering sour beer. When the liquor was served in a small sake cup, I asked my bartender if it was meant to be consumed like a 'bomb'. He said no. Halfway through and out of curiosity, I tried anyway. Delicious. I hesitate to dote on individual cocktails as the menu of any craft cocktail establishment will change with the seasons. That won't stop me from lobbying them to make Vengeance & Fashion an evergreen choice. The spiced pear flavors blend with a warm reposado and maple-beet shrub for a sweet and autumnal offering -- something that especially hits the spot around the holidays but would kick ass year round. The aromatic foam on top will have your friends asking whether it's one of their miniature Miller bottles in your pocket, or if you're happy to see it! I crave it now. Other noteworthy mixtures include boozy redcurrant cocktails, as well as rice whisky + carbonated agua de coco or even mezcal + celery. It is experimental but worth every risk. When you get the munchies, order the Hurricane Fries before anything else and let the umami--enhanced by the inclusion of furikake and pecorino--melt in your mouth. You are having a good time. You will always have a good time and be treated right here. I can't imagine anyone not wanting to come back for more. When you're really good at what you do, the second time's the charm. This is everything I hoped B&T would be, and I'm ready to bring everyone I know. read more

While staying at the hotel, we managed to grab a spot at Little Rituals to have a couple of drinks and they were all fairly delicious. Without a reservation though on Friday-Saturday, you're fairly screwed. Not a knock against the hotel, but I would put another smaller bar for guests in the hotel that isn't in so high demand and you can just walk up to. read more

Drinks are aesthetically pleasing but very little drink for the price. They were still flavorful and enjoyable. I especially liked the milk punch, which was served in a pretty tea set. Be warned, "large bites" does not mean "large". Be expected to pay entree prices for appetizer sizes. The rice noodle salad is moderately spicy and the burger patties were tiny with no sides. Gluten free options are minimal; mostly spicy. The ambiance was modern and relaxed. Service was decent, but not exceptional, especially because the venue was not particularly busy. The expensive price for food and drinks was not justified. read more

Very nice! Loved the vibes here. My boyfriend and I came to Little Rituals on a Saturday night and it was the perfect cocktail bar for date night. We really enjoyed our drinks and the hurricane fries were spicy!!! I absolutely loved the lighting and decor inside. The entrance of the hotel is undergoing a lot of construction. So make sure you don't miss your reservations while trying to find parking! There is an affordable parking lot behind the hotel. Cute spot! read more

Head up to the 4th Floor for a great view to the East. Little Rituals is connected to Bitter & Twisted (just around the corner) so it should come as no surprise the cocktails here are top notch. The service is too! I highly recommend getting a reservation through the Yelp app. Ask for a window seat if possible, but it's still worth the visit if you don't get one. All the servers had amazing attitudes and helped us feel at home. Tables and seating were well distanced. This place has a great lounge feeling if you're looking for a place more on the quiet side to relax. Great for a date. The bartender at Bitter & Twisted recommended the wings. Well, we tried them and we almost felt like we had to go back to B&T just to thank the bartender! Honestly, the best wings I've ever had... and I've had a lot. We got the Korean BBQ flavor, but there are others. Only drummets and they are nice and big. Another classy touch is as you are seated someone will bring you complimentary espresso cocktails to enjoy as you look over the menu. That touch right there starts your experience off right. Go and enjoy! read more
