    Five stars for the drinks. Three stars for the food. Great vibe. Good music. A great place to meet up with friends and hang out. We were out late and we needed some food in a Saturday. Saw this place had good reviews, so we stopped in around 11 PM. It Wasn't too crowded. The drinks... Five stars! The bartender did an amazing job. We did Mexican candy shots. Plus several cocktails and we wete not disappointed. They sell pizza by the slice. We did pizza slices and wings. The food was not that great, but it got the job done.

    Overall food was good and authentically made. Wait time ended up being more than what I'd expect for how late it was but given the Tempe Arts Fest was in town and there was live music that night - all is forgiven. I love that they have the wall full of owls/owl art and bundles of family fun games including some that I've never even seen before - kills the wait time for sure - though our party really did not need it. Our waitress was also very nice and accommodating, never forgot a single thing we asked, and was VERY prompt with my lemon for water. I can definitely appreciate that during a rush. Also can't forget to check out their pinball machines next time and take a picture next to the tree with an I definitely recommend the wings. Because I make my own pizza - I'm pretty hard to please and had a major FOMO moment when the sidewalk surfer came out to the next table and she explained it was crafted for the skateboard company they partner with, which is why they have all the skateboards on the wall. BUT - since they have a rotating weekly special, we caught this pie on its last day so I should be grateful. History geek girl moment saved. I'll be back for you!!‍‍

    Nice and cozy style eatery and some firs ahh pizzas!! When it comes to options and the brick oven I'd add them to the list, they have such a great night owl vibe to them located on the corner they're just chill! We went late and appreciated not feeling like we were being rushed or hurried to order. They have an outside or patio fire pit that's absolutely gorgeous and even more so during our cold winter and yes I said cold don't judge me inside is nice and they have this dope skateboard wall that really add unique design taste to the place. With so many good pizza joints around I feel like people would like them as well. This spot is for the night owls we got pizza but it was so good I didn't get to get a snapshot of it lol like I always say the proof is in the pudding it didn't have a chance I got yall next go!

    Super cool restaurant with amazing decor, artwork and provides a dark, moody atmosphere. We came in for dinner during the week. We were greeted and seated right away for two. Our server Boston was friendly, let us know about the pizza slice sizes and checked in on our table. The food we order was delicious and we really enjoyed our dinner. The pizza was toasty and warm. We both got full with one slice plus our sides. The wings were ordered tossed and were saucy. The ranch was good. The fries were flavorful and crispy. They have coke products. We ordered the following items. - Pep Slice (Classic Pepperoni). $4.25 -So Fresh So Clean Slice (Veggie) $4.75 -Wing (6) $10 - Wise Fries $6 - Dr. Pepper $3 Our total after tax was around $30. We would recommend and we would come again.

    I came back two days in a rowww because it was that good. Starting Friday, I came with a friend and sat at the bar. We both ordered the Tongue in Groove, and it's officially my new favorite thing. The pizza was amazingggg. so amazing that I came back Saturday at lunch with my family. This time we sat in a booth inside and went for a more laid-back kind of day. Really cute decor. Mac bites: 10/10. Fries: 10/10. Our bartender on Saturday was so sweet and energetic. Loved everything she recommended.

    We really love Night Owl in Scottsdale, and we're happy they opened another location in Tempe, closer to our stomping grounds. The theme is the same here--vintage owls, video games, skateboards, and wood log slices. I will say, though, that this location is a little less "ka-pow" than the other location. There is no giant alligator or neon clowns or shoes in the ceiling (at least none that I saw). But no worries! The great service and delicious food are here, and it is still a cool decor with games. The patio is really great here, to, with a big shade tree and steering lights. We ordered a caesar salad and a The Boss pizza. The Caesar salad was delicious - - the dressing was good, and I can be picky about dressing. The pizza was so yummy, with so much meat. The quest here is really good like a light airy bread. Just as our visits to the other location, we had a great time and a great meal. This is already a place we go back to, and I don't expect that to change.

    I didn't realize the prior restaurant Golden Pineapple has become a new Night Owl location. This Mill location opened 2 weeks ago per staff. I'm not mad at that! I used to enjoy this spot when it was Golden Pineapple and we are regulars at the Scottsdale Night Owl so we were happy to come in and support the new location. This Mill Ave restaurant has a pinball alcove in the back and other games too. There's also Zoltar machine near the fireplace. It's a larger overall footprint. More bar seating and tables, however smaller patio for outdoor seating. This location offers the same (or very similar) menu. I noticed they have a cocktail called "Golden Pineapple" as a nod to the previous place. So in honor of that, I ordered it. It's a tiki type frozen drink and when it's almost 80 degrees in December, a frozen cocktail totally works :) It's tasty. Think piña colada type drink. I also ordered the lunch special- a slice of pepperoni pizza and 4 wings. They taste as good here as the other location. I like the burgers at Night Owl and that's usually what I order but we came in this time for just a snack and to check it out. For being open only 2 weeks things went smoothly and everything as expected. That's a good sign for a second location.

    Fun vibe and cool decor. Private parking lot makes it easy to visit this Tempe spot. Inside is cool decored with owls, skate stuff, and pinball. Loud atmosphere. Service was great and food was good. Fries got a little soggy with the sauce for the bottom bunch of fries. The Mac bites were yum. Pizza by the slice for $5.

    I had high hopes for Night Owl because I've had multiple friends tell me great feedback about it. We finally got to try when they opened a Tempe location and unfortunately I was disappointed. The pizza and wings, according to my partner were good, but for me and my boys it wasn't as good as we expected it to be. The burger was very bland, even ate the other half the next day to see if I was just not in the mood for it the night before but it was still bland and no good for me. I did get an upgrade on my fries for extra $$, and got the Wise Fries. Glad I did because that's all I ate that night. It was really good and we had to order another serving. For the price we paid, I wish the food was better. Our server was nice and we have no complaints. The place was cool and had interesting decor. The game room was a little lackluster for us, I think my kids have been spoiled from the other place we go to.

    Stopped her while visiting our son in Tempe, it's very close to his apartment so wanted to give it a try. The place is super cute with so much to look at. Our server was new but very helpful with the menu and willing to get answers for us if she wasn't sure about our questions. The pizza crust was nice and crispy and remind that way until gone. The wings and fries were very good as well. The menu is pretty simple but we saw many other things we'd like to try the next time we go. We had a great time in their little video game area after we ate.

    Came here because we were at a loss for cooking dinner.. My wife had been out all afternoon and I had been working so I said 'let's do night owl'. We have been here plenty of times and it's always a good choice. Tonight was a little less 'as good'. We had a half & half pizza (Wise & Italian) and a dozen wings. Some of the wings were so smashed up they had multiple pieces of little bones throughout the wings. I know this isn't the chef/cooks issue, but it makes for a less favorable time while you're trying not to swallow broken bone pieces.. The pizza was ok - the Italian comes with a 'balsamic vinegarette' which is not so good. It's very 'vinegary' more than balsamic and it grossly overpowers the flavor of the pizza (which is fine otherwise). The vinegarette would be better as a side dipper in my opinion, then you can adjust on the fly. We only ate 2 slices, a drink each and took the remainder home.

    Visited a 2nd time this past Thursday, sat at the bar, Corey and Catalina were serving that night, also met the manager Desiree, we had meatballs and garlic cheesy knots and I had white pizza and my man had a slice of classic cheese, the meatballs really good served in a small cast iron pan with lots of melty cheese, and the garlic knits were cheesy hot and delicious, the slices were hot and the crust is so good! We love it we'll keep going back, apparently the wings are 10/10 - need to try them!

    Holy cow! This place is incredible. My sister and I came here after work before we had to head to a meeting. We wanted a little drink and something to share. This place hit the nail on the head. We ate outside on the patio. It was a beautiful evening and the weather was perfect. We were served by Boston. I want to stop and truly recognize what an amazing server she was. She was kind, attentive, gave the perfect recommendations, and was very funny. Felt like chatting with a friend. Staff like that isn't common so we were glad that everyone we interacted with was that kind and helpful. Ok, the food. Boston gave us the idea that 6 speciality slices is about the prices of a whole speciality pizza... so we got five. These slices are giant. Like almost cartoon-y, exaggeratedly large. Like that scene from the Goofy Movie where Max and PJ eat pizza in the ocean themed motel room. And man, it was good. The Pretty Fly for a White Pie was my favorite. Creamy, loaded with toppings sat on a crispy crust. Mmmm... We were only able to eat a slice and a half each. But the pizza reheated well for lunch today. The Pineapple Express and The Boss were what they promised. Now the wings...That Stardust dry rub needs to be sold right now. It's like Old Bay and Lawrys had a slight smoky baby. I liked that the wings were baked but still crispy on the outside. The Wise Fries are delicious. I'm not a parm/truffle fry girlie but I definitely used my younger sibling whining to finish them off. And the ranch, THE RANCH. It's perfect. No notes. I am a true believer they need a weekly special that's like a loaded potato skin pizza with that ranch on top. (If it happens, I won't even claim royalties) I shared that with the server and the owner said they will R&D it. Finally, the drinks. I got the Moonage Daydream. It tastes like the aura of the cool girl in school that you are pretty sure is a witch. Bright, ethereal, but with depth and a smoky hue. Strong in a good way. I will definitely be back. Also, if you recall the guy who vandalized this spot prior to opening with a funny phrase from Tempe on the news, check out a hidden homage to him on the train in the main atrium area of the restaurant.

The chicken tenders were fire!!! What is lacking on this occasion was service. The server that we had was so unattentative. I have never been in a cocktail lounge in my life and had to beg for drinks. Our server would wait until every drinks was made for all of her tables before bringing out drinks. It was ridiculous. She was nice but seemed high. I ended up only having 2 drinks. We would have ordered more but they have 90min max seating and we didn't event get drinks for the first 30min. No exaggeration. Also one of my drinks I had to send back. My apple martini tasted like soap. It was like they did clean the glass after giving a soap bath. No bueno. So they need to get their service to match the vibe of a true cocktails lounge. Yes it is a 70s vibe but doesn't mean the lackadaisical style service. I would come back and try again. The music, the atmosphere and the food was good. They gotta get these cocktails together and service. We ended up walking to nearby competitors and that was money lost for DDG.

    Loved this place!…read more First, we had to change our reservation, and the host could not have been nicer. On a busy Saturday night, he graciously allowed us to push it back by an hour, which we really appreciated. When we arrived, we were immediately impressed. The jungle theme, leopard prints, intimate booths, and dramatic overhead lighting created a fun, unique atmosphere. The service was excellent, the cocktails were delicious, and every dish we ordered was a hit. My son said it may have been the best steak tartare he's ever had (although neither of us was a fan of the plantain chips). It was certainly the best tartare I've had in a very long time, with generous chunks of high-quality steak instead of being overly minced. The baked brie dip was outstanding, the grilled oysters were excellent, and my New York strip was cooked perfectly. My only small criticism is that the oyster appetizer came with just three oysters. For a $19 appetizer, I'd love to see at least four. An even number also makes sharing much easier, although my son generously let me have the extra one! Overall, this is a fantastic concept with great food, great service, and a memorable atmosphere. We can't wait to come back.

    Our final verdict after dining at Filthy Animal steakhouse in Tempe, Arizona, on a Sunday night…read moreafter seeing The Odyssey at Harkins nearby: High Aura. We called about half hour before and made a reservation by phone. I was disappointed that my first order choice of the Seabass was unavailable and my second choice of lamb chops was also unavailable. Not sure if this is because it was a Sunday night and/or we made the reservation immediately before showing up. They were also out of the Melted Cast-Iron Brie Small Plate that we were excited about ordering for the table. We loved this restaurant because of the dark and jungle-themed interior. We were excited to see the bold taxidermy featuring the large cats combined with the ornate, gold- framed dapper animal art hanging on the walls. Another reason to love this spot: hidden inside is an entrance to a secret cocktail lounge, or speakeasy, called "Drop Dead Gorgeous." We also appreciated the entire restaurant centering around a glowing, raw wood-fire cooking pit. We could hear and watch our entrées being prepared. What we didn't love so much: the items that we would've liked to have ordered were unavailable. The price to portion ratio in the small bites could also be improved a bit. Great service from our waitress throughout the evening. We ordered: - Fire Roasted Bone Marrow for the table (3/5) - sourdough toast, jalapeño marmalade with demi. I was so excited to try bone marrow for the first time. It was interesting. Sort of like a mix between butter and fat from a steak. It tasted really good with the spicy jalapeño jelly and bread provided. I expected us to be warm and it came out cold. Still not sure if I like it or not. Maybe I'll give it a second try - White Oak Grilled Chicken Skewers (4/5) - served with shiso leaves, kimchi, shishito peppers. kosho aioli, lemon aioli, ssamjung for the table - Very yummy. We enjoyed these. We had actually changed our mind right after initially putting in the milk bread order for the table and they brought out the milk bread so quickly that our waitress said she would give this to us on the house. - Milk Bread for the table (4/5) - miso tomato butter, almond & Kalamata. Even though we changed our mind and got this sent to our table accidentally, I would order this again. It was very delicious and it comes out as an adorable little tomato shaped and colored milk bread with the toppings looking like the stem on top. So tasty and everybody loved it. A little small for our party of five. - Lemongrass Half Chicken (5/5) - Caramelized carrots, kyoto roasted garlic, mashed potatoes & jalapeno jam. Hubs loved this. He said everything was delicious and went well together. - Bomba Rice x2 (5/5) - Risotto, shrimp, linguica, chicken, piquillo peppers, green peas, kosher aioli & Parmesan. My son and his girlfriend both ordered this and said it was very good. - Shishito Caesar Salad add Chicken Skewers (5/5) - bonito, charred shishito peppers, ricotta salata, tapioca chicharron & togarashi. My daughter ordered this and said it was very good. - Spicy Peanut & Tomato Salad add Chicken Skewers (5/5) - peanut dressing, heirloom tomato, baby gem, daikon radish, onion, mala chile, whipped queso de cabra & sour nut. YUMMMM What a creative and unique salad! So glad I tried it. It has unique flavors that work well with each other and a crunch. There's also some heat that goes along with the salad. I was able to withstand it. My son would probably say it's not spicy at all. I'll be craving this salad for months to come. - Dad or Daddy Specialty Cocktail - bright, buzzed & stoned vodka, apricot liqueur, Riesling cordial, ginger, lime, topped with Red Bull Peach Edition (White Peach) - Fruity Mocktail - I asked the waitress if they had any mocktails and she asked me what I liked and gave me examples. Based on what I told her she brought me out a delicious fruity mocktail topped with fresh mint. Parking along the street at metered parking or in parking garage nearby. A few streets away from Tempe Town Lake.

The most recent was…read moreon a Thursday night around 10:30 p.m. This speakeasy is located on Mill Ave., the center of Tempe's party scene. Because of its location, parking isn't easy. If you're looking for free parking, you're going to have a long walk. Outside of that, you'll have to pay for parking in a garage or metered street parking. Ambiance (4/5): Hint hint. Idle Hands is located inside Devil's Hideaway. A true speakeasy shouldn't have signage outside indicating its location. Unfortunately, there's a sign for Idle Hands outside of Devil's Hideaway which takes away the sense of mystery and intrigue that a true speakeasy provides. Outside of this hiccup, it's a cool speakeasy. It's intimate, with 10 or so seats at the bar and about 10 seats in booths facing the bar. There's a projector screen behind the bar that had mystical motion graphics the first time I stopped by (thinking wizards) and Halloween motion graphics the second time (with it being a day before the holiday). There were some other Halloween decorations up. The only area of improvement? The music often doesn't match the vibe. A lot of the music they were playing on my last visit was Irish music that would be fitting for a pub. Service (4/5): I had the same bartender each time. He knows how to make a good drink and is pretty efficient. When you close out, he only gives you the merchant copy. Which is a pet peeve of mine. Let me get that customer copy too. But overall, a good experience. Especially at a college bar. Food (N/A): I've only had drinks both times. Idle Hands actually doesn't have food, but Devil's Hideaway does. And you're allowed to bring food from there into the speakeasy. Drinks (4.5/5): It's pretty surprising to see a speakeasy on a college campus. I was impressed with the creativity of the menu, both in terms of the ingredients used and the fusion of flavors. I've had a different cocktail each time, and they've all been great. My favorite was one served in a box filled with smoke. Talk about a cool presentation! The hallmarks of a solid speakeasy are elevated cocktails, nice ambiance (dimly lit), an intimate space, and mystery/intrigue. While the intrigue is lacking at Idle Hands, and the music can be improved, they hit it out of the park in the other areas. One of my favorite speakeasies I've been to in Phoenix (and surrounding areas). I am, after all, the self-appointed king of speakeasies. The king gives his stamp of approval.

The service honestly matched the upscale atmosphere perfectly and made the whole experience feel even more polished. And OMG... the food. SO SO SO SO SO GOOD. Like genuinely one of those meals where every single bite makes you pause for a second because it tastes that incredible. I got the chicken orzo along with the lime icebox cake for dessert, and both were absolutely amazingggg. The chicken orzo was phenomenal. The lemon flavor throughout the orzo was bright, fresh, and flavorful without being overpowering, and the tomatoes were the PERFECT addition because they balanced everything so well and added a little sweetness and freshness to the dish. But the chicken... wow. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside while still being super juicy and tender inside, which is honestly hard to do. Every component of the dish worked together perfectly. Magnificent is genuinely the best word for it. And the lime icebox cake was the perfect ending to the meal, refreshing, creamy, flavorful, and not too heavy after dinner. Honestly, I'm sitting here craving the food again just looking back at the pictures I took. This is definitely one of those restaurants that sticks in your mind long after you leave.

    Our waitress was very kind and knowledgeable about gluten-free options (I have celiac disease),…read morewhich I really appreciated. The restaurant itself is very cute and clearly designed for photos, which matches what I saw on their Instagram. Service overall was fantastic. The food, however, was just okay. I ordered the burrata and fig plate and was told they'd replace the bread with apple slices. I received five very small slices of apple, and when the plate was set down the waitress said she'd get more if needed. I later noticed I was charged $2 for an additional five slices, which together didn't even amount to half an apple. Ironically, the bread that comes with the dish would have been far more substantial. The burrata was fine, but nothing memorable. My friend ordered the chicken and brussels sprouts and didn't even finish it before having the plate taken away. The flourless almond cake was the star, a bit salty on its own, but with the ice cream and whipped cream it was a delightful combo which were the highlight. Overall, this is a great spot for cocktails, ambiance, and photos, but the food is fairly mediocre compared to the setting.

    We recently hosted our son's rehearsal dinner for 40 guests at The Social Hall and could not have…read morebeen happier with the experience. Since we were planning the event from out of town, having a team we could trust was incredibly important -- and Bailey and the entire staff handled everything flawlessly. Even the decorations were set up beautifully and exactly as we had hoped. The food was excellent, the staff was friendly and attentive, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. A special thank you to Bailey, the Event Coordinator, who was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. She was organized, responsive, and made everything feel easy and stress-free leading up to the event and the night of the dinner. The highlight was definitely the Rafter Room -- it was even more impressive in person than in the pictures. The space had a great atmosphere for a rehearsal dinner and made the evening feel really special for our family and guests. Highly recommend The Social Hall for anyone looking to host a private event in Tempe.

    One of the worst DoorDash experiences I've ever had. Social Hall accepted my order, which consisted…read moreof only two items, then made me wait over two hours. If your kitchen can't handle a simple order in a reasonable amount of time, don't accept DoorDash orders in the first place. What's even more frustrating is the complete lack of respect for customers' time. There was no urgency, no accountability, and no reason a two-item order should take longer than two hours. Accepting orders you clearly can't fulfill is misleading and incredibly unprofessional. I won't be ordering from Social Hall again, and I wouldn't recommend anyone else waste their time either. Do better.
