    Enjoyed cocktails-5/10/25: Came to this speakeasy as my friend knew about it. The bar you need to go through to reach the speakeasy was pretty secretive as well. Great customer service and delicious cocktails.

    I'm sad to say I'm disappointed, mainly because the pictures on this Yelp page and the pictures and details on their own website do not match the reality. And yes, I made sure I was looking specifically at the Desert Ridge location. None of the drinks nor food were what they advertised in their menu provided on their business's site. The inside doesn't look anything like the pictures either. I realize changes happen, but even their own site showed what I'm assuming now are dated photos that do not match the current decor and bar. I do want to say that the bartenders and staff were very friendly. The fellow clientele? They were not.

    Jerry is an amazing server! He knows his tequila very well. Always amazing vibes, good drinks and nice staff. Also Hanna is superb. We will return again!

    We're both bourbon lovers - their incredible collection and great service by their manager Jerry allowing us to taste multiple additional options made our time at pigtails one to remember!!

    After what feels like 100 years I've finally made it back to Pigtails. I love this hidden gem in Desert Ridge. It's a great chill spot when you're in the mood for drinks and conversation in a cozy spot. I love the Ambiance of Pigtails. I tried the mystery punch which was very enjoyable and the service was good as well. I definitely will be back and I'm hoping to check out the downtown location soon.

    I saw an Instagram post for Pigtails at Desert Ridge and decided that we definitely needed to give them a try since the location is not for from home. The atmosphere is pretty chill and relaxing. At first we were at the Whining Pig and it did not seem like the right place so I asked the bartender for a menu and he told me it was in the back and to the right. Two totally different vibes between the two bars. The drinks a worth their cost in my opinion and the hummus platter was perfection! I love that there is no deposit or reservation required so I can drop. In anytime during business hours alone or with others.

    This place was a super fun find. I did not realize that it was a speakeasy type place so it took a minute to find. We ended up starting at the Whining Pig and as we sat down for drinks I saw the sign for Pigtails. Super fun. So when we finished our beers we headed over to pigtails for a cocktail. We were there during happy hour and were seated right away. The bartenders were super friendly and knowledgeable. They even helped my mom find a drink she liked and she is super picky and doesn't often try new things. The cocktails were amazing, all three of us loved ours and they were so pretty to boot! We had the artichoke dip as well and it was delicious. It definitely hit the spot. I also absolutely loved the atmosphere and and ambiance. It was dark and relaxing. And oh my gosh their plant wall is amazing! One of my favorite parts was exiting through what looked like a library wall. I mean what's not to love?!? You have to try this spot if you are in the area!

    Cute ambiance! This place was hard to find in the desert ridge plaza because it's downstairs but it's a hidden gem. The happy hour was nice and I enjoyed the bruschetta. Hopefully they'll have more food options, especially on a happy hour menu (it was just drinks for happy hour). But the bruschetta was very reasonably priced. They forgot to give me the happy hour price on my first drink but in general Our waitress/bartender was super friendly and I wish I remembered her name!

    Cocktails

    It is cocktail bar. There are bar/ seat tables. The mood was good. They have mocktail options. Bartenders look busy but were very kind.

Once you're let inside a side door you have to lock your phones up. My reaction was "you're kidding, right", then I said, let's do it. You keep the key to your numbered box. This is such a perfect way to disconnect from your phone and have ongoing conversations with no interruption. I kept attempting to show our bartender the activities we did while in Arizona, but forgot I didn't have my phone lol. We had a good ole time with our bartender (male, forgot his name but I've learned he's afraid of heights and won't go on a hot air balloon ride LOL!!). He made this drink something near an old fashioned but it was topped with an entire gingerbread cookie, I had about 3. Oh, and the staff all had on Christmas pajamas as uniform. So cute & comfy! Keep in mind we have no sense of time so we were nervous about being late to our reservations for Wren & Wolf.. the hostess assured us she would come get us and escort us to the table in time. And she did. We weren't finished our last drinks but was able to carry them over to the restaurant.

I made a reservation online, they take a payment for each person that goes to your tab. In the end you basically get 2 drinks to pay off your reservation fee. Only drinks served here, no food. You have a certain amount of time for your reservation as well. You also put your phones away before entering. Overall it was good but I'm not sure if I'll to do it again.

From the jump, the energy was chill but not boring... lights were warm, music had bounce, and the whole place felt curated without being corny. Bartender energy? Different. No menus needed... we gave a vibe, he poured what matched it. Not sure what was in the glass, but it slapped. You ever drink something so good you start reevaluating your life choices? That. Clean pours. Balanced. Not over-mixed. Just enough sweetness to get you in trouble. Crowd was mixed, stylish... looked like people who know where to be without needing to post about it. The seating's cozy enough to post up and talk but open enough to float around if you're trying to socialize. It had that lounge-meets-night-out energy. Bathrooms were clean... that matters when the drinks are flowing. Never felt like a dive. Never felt like a bottle-service trap either. It's got identity... almost like a cocktail bar that grew up on rap albums and old money. It's giving... if Frank Ocean curated a bar playlist then dipped out the back with your ex.

Since I was by myself, I was able to be seated at the bar. The vibe here is incredible! It's beautifully decorated and nice and cozy. Perfect for a date night.

For a big birthday party today, it was a failed experience. Took ages to get our drinks and it was impossible to get water. Couldn't even get some water for the past 2 hours we were there. The people in the middle tables got ice cold waters, we could barely get two and it was warm. At least the inside was nice, but wow, I would NEVER come back or tell my friends about it.
