Stopped in for a quick drink after the Bob Schneider concert at the MIM last night. Great atmosphere, totally chill bartender (in a good way!) who helped us decide on local beer to try (being from Portland we make sure we try beer that's not from home when we are out! Chef had already gone home for the evening so the bartender recommended a nearby reverse HH for us. We played a game or two that was available on the bar, watched the end of the Diamondbacks game, finished our beers - a pilsner and IPA from Catalyst, and headed for food! read more

Another 5 star visit to Pigtails! My husband and I came with my parents to celebrate their birthday Friday night and were wise to make this our first stop on our speakeasy tour of Phoenix! Jack was quick to greet and seat us while Eulalio expertly crafted some delicious mystery shots we requested that even came with a flaming garnish to be treated like birthday candles! We LOVED it!! We arrived during happy hour so we also ordered some oysters and shrimp to graze on, FANTASTIC! The oysters were good but the star of the show? The 6 HUGE shrimps and fresh cocktail sauce.. what a way to start the night! Absolutely fantastic, no notes and totally a must try when you're in the heart of this beautiful city! read more

After seeing The Format at the AZ State Fair, one of my friends said let's grab a drink. We hitched a ride to Downtown and after some misses due to long lines and no availability, we ended up at Pigtails. We found two seats at the bar and got a couple fun, inventive cocktails. I asked the bartender for her favorite drink and she said the "Black Magic Woman" which was a blackberry infused bourbon cocktail. It was great, and for my second drink I asked her the most unique drink on the menu and she said "Down The Rabbit Hole" which was tequila based and had carrot among other things and cream cheese foam. Who knew that was a thing? Also delicious. My friend and I were going to have one more cocktail but we decided to check out another bar simply for variety. But definitely a rad spot and I'd happily come back. read more

Such a great speakeasy vibe. The atmosphere is super cool--moody lighting, great music, and a space that feels tucked away in the best way. Their happy hour tacos are so good, definitely one of the highlights. And I'm obsessed with the plant wall... it adds this fresh, stylish touch that makes the whole place feel even more inviting. A perfect spot to hang out, sip, and snack. read more

Pigtails - Excellent vibes - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Was going to check out Coabana for drinks, and we saw a group go through a side door into Pigtails, a speakeasy bar. No reservations were needed and you could simply walk in. We were greeted by welcoming staff and ordered an Insomnia and a Black Magic Woman, which did not disappoint. We just stopped in for drinks before a show. Service was quick and attentive to getting us food or drinks. Cute bar and a great place to hang out if you are in the area. read more

Such a beautiful atmosphere, ambient lighting and such lively plants on the walks. The full bar with bottles on display looked like a library of liquor. The bartender Karly, was radiant, kind, and very great at suggesting my boyfriend I in the right direction of flavor to savor. She suggested the Rose glasses for me and Son Of a Peach for him as he's a whiskey drinker The drinks were more delicious than described on the menu I feel because Karly was so good at her mixology. She was very fast at creating the cocktails and very friendly. This was a perfect date night experience and I'd highly recommend it. read more

We've given this place a few tries, but it's always the same story. The hostess greets you with all the enthusiasm of someone who'd rather be anywhere else, and makes a point of telling you there's "a wait list" even when the place is clearly half empty. Her tone is consistently rude, which is not the welcome you'd expect from a spot that's supposedly about atmosphere. The rules inside are just as odd -- no standing is allowed, which severely limits capacity and makes the space feel unnecessarily stiff. And while it's billed as a "speakeasy," the illusion doesn't hold up. There are multiple signs literally pointing you to the door, which kind of kills the whole concept. Overall, it feels more like a gimmick than an experience. Plenty of better options nearby where you'll actually feel welcome, and maintain the exclusivity of a speakeasy without the attitude. read more

First of all I cannot understate the quality of the service I received. Eulalio had other tables, but we consistently got our drinks and food quickly without errors, even when they were on the complicated side. He is a true boon to the business! The restaurant itself is hidden inside another called Coabana, but there is a door clearly labeled Cocktails to get to it. Through the door the hustle and bustle of the busy restaurant outside gives way to a cocktail bar that feels much more intimate, with dark lighting and quieter music than is playing outside. It was perfect to converse and enjoy drinks with friends! This time we went with some friends, and each of us could not stop talking about how good everything was! We started with In To The Blue shots for the table, which were so good we wished we had sipped them. Then we ordered our first round of drinks and food. We shared a plate of nachos and they had the perfect balance of toppings and chips, then my partner and I ordered some tacos and a Cubano Sammie. The sandwich was delicious, much better than the average Cubano I've come across in Phoenix. The tacos were also great, and $11 for 3 was a steal! Our friends also got tacos, which they enjoyed. My partner ordered Cupid's Dagger and the Insomniac to drink, and she loved both of them! Cupid's Dagger was also served with a bubble of smoke and it was on a little silver tray, which was cool. I ordered the Son of a Peach and Femme Fatale, and they were both delicious. The Femme Fatale was also served inside of a wooden cake tray filled with smoke, which was a very cool experience and added to the flavor of the drink. All in all this is not just a restaurant, but an experience. And if you have some money to go out in downtown Phoenix, I would say this experience is not one to miss! If you can, try to get a table with Eulalio because he is excellent! read more

THE DRINKS!!!!!! Literally that's all I need to say. The drinks at pigtails are IT! If it's time to go to Pigtails I also know it's time to get an Uber because all their drinks are so good, you MUST try all of them. You get in by going through a kitchen (LOVE) and enter in a dimly lit space with an intimate vibe. I usually always get the nachos but we know I'm not here for the food, I'm here for the DRINKS! Service is always really good as well and the staff is very knowledgeable. Let the know what you're in the mood for and they'll give you the best recommendations. This is such a good girl night out place to go to. If you're looking for a place to catch up with a friend and bond over delicious drinks. Look no further! read more

Overall a great experience! Came here the other night to grab a little bite and some drinks. The oysters were really good and the nachos were fantastic. The nachos had some beautifully charred pork on top with this delicious chimichurri sauce. I decided to be adventurous and try the mystery punch, which wasn't too bad either. Only negative was the service could have been better. The place was not very busy but our server was never around. We ordered some food but when the oysters came out we still had no plates or silverware, which took awhile for someone to bring. read more

Very cool speakeasy you get to through a kitchen door in a restaurant! Cool decor and friendly staff. The cubano was decent, but not amazing. The cocktails were great though. The menu was awesome and it was so hard to choose. The Pink Pony Club was so tasty and drinkable. And the Santa Sour was boozy and tasty. Totally reasonable prices for such nice cocktails! read more

Great atmosphere! This is one of my spots on a night out with the girls. It's so fun discovering speak easy spots in phx. I was obsessed with the cocktail I ordered recently. I'm blanking on the name but it was a watermelon flavored drink, which was really light and quite nice. The foam on top had a salty taste to it, which paired well with the flavor of the drink. read more

We came here for my sisters Bachelorette party wanted to see what it's about. It is not hidden its just a cocktail bar inside another restaurant. It was very small not big which is fine.

A friend led us to this spot (try to find it!) and ot was definitely a good experience! We had drinks, shots, good conversations!

It's worth a visit! read more

Tonight was my first time visiting Pig Tails, and unfortunately, it will be my last. Your website states you close at 11:00 PM. We arrived at 9:55 PM and were met with extremely rude service and were basically kicked out. There was no hospitality, no explanation--just an attitude that made us feel completely unwelcome. This is not how customers should be treated, especially during a first visit. Very disappointing experience. read more

Cool bar that was hard to find. It's marked on the outside, but you kind of walk through a kitchen then into the quaint little bar. You enter the bar from Central Ave just south of the hot dog place. There were about 8 of us and some weren't drinking and it had a nice mix of cocktails and mocktails. I had the Mezcal Cocktail (I can't remember the name) and it was delicious. We stayed about 45 mins or so and enjoyed the back corner booth. Service was great as he kept checking on us. It was fairly busy, but not overly packed on a Friday night. We walked right in and got the last table. I'd go again and try some more unique cocktails. Fun spot! read more

I'm still discovering DT Phoenix do my date wanted to make sure we covered at least a couple spots I'd never been to and this was our first stop before reservations at Little Rituals. Such a cute , sexy and cozy place once you get through the entrance. It's basically a speakeasy and I always love that for me. I asked for a spicy margarita and it was one of the best I've ever had . The service was on point and I would definitely return. I see myself becoming a regular here for sure. So Grab your honey or honey for the night and set the mood right here at Pigtails. My date definitely got some sweet points that night. read more

Pigtails - Great bar with a smiling pig. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This is a great downtown Phoenix speakeasy. You know you're there when you see the a-frame sign with a pig drawn on it--no words, just the pig--on the sidewalk out front. Just go through the little room with the kitchen counter, and through the door. It's a great atmosphere, dark and cozy. There are tables along the wall and a larger booth in the corner. The bar walls have plants on either side of the shelves, which I love the look of. At the top of the liquor shelves is a pigs head. I can't decide if it's creepy or not--he is a little scary. We did not order food this time, but we have ordered the nachos before. They are gigantic--enough for us to share and not need dinner afterward. The cocktails are great, and the mixologists are very talented. Hubs ordered the mystery punch. He was daring and it paid off. It was delicious! We love sitting at the bar where we can see the bartenders doing their thing. read more

Actually love this "hidden" speakeasy in Downtown Phoenix. Located close to the Footprint Center area and other bars and restaurants. We only ordered a few drinks here from their Winter Wonderland menu and they were all tasty. The Jell-O shots were pretty good too. We got seated pretty quickly at close to 11pm at night. Our server was prompt. Quite pleased with the bar and a decent spot to hang out. I do need to try their oysters next time. A solid spot and would come back! read more

Despite being a cool little spot, Pigtails can be deceiving with its waitlist, especially for our second visit. I added our name to the list and was advised that the wait was about 25 minutes. Upon observing others being seated, my husband inquired about our wait and was informed it would still be 40 minutes. He questioned the hostess and made it known that I was told about 25. She responded by denying that she would never have told us that. After waiting for about 40 minutes, we were eventually able to get a table. Overall in the end the drinks were tasty and the service was fast equaling a decent experience ! read more

So glad we stumbled upon this place after our dinner date! The inside is dark and intimate, and very inviting. The staff was all very friendly and seemed to take care of patrons in a very fluid way (not the typical this is my table, I only help them style). I love that they had 3 options for mocktails, so that I could still enjoy a unique drink in a fun glass while my husband sipped on his Started from the Bottom cocktail. Looking forward to another visit when I'm not pregnant! read more

What appears to be a kitchen front is actually a great speakeasy cocktail bar in downtown Phoenix. Beautiful decor, clean, and great service. We went on a Saturday night for a quick drink before dinner reservations and we were easily able to get seated right away. We ordered the knotty by nature to munch on and it was a delicious pretzel appetizer. Comes with cheese sauce, marinara, mustard, and charred jalapeños. The pretzels were warm, soft, and really good flavor. Not too salty. Cocktails were good. Even though I only got 0% proof options, my friends and I enjoyed our drinks. I really like how the menu has them separated by categories to make the selection process easier for your taste. read more

Pigtails - Beautiful bar setup - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I love this place. We went with friends who've been there before, thankfully! Nondescript door, next to a Cuban restaurant with a small chalkboard with a pig drawn on it. Enter. You will be greeted by a guy washing dishes? He welcomes you and tells you to go on in. Once your eyes adjust to the low light, you will be amazed. Full living wall behind the bar and very nice bartenders. Tell the bartender what you like and they will make it for you. I told him I liked Manhattan's and not very sweet. He concocted an amazing cocktail with whiskey, several different kinds of bitters and I'm not sure what else. It was sooo good, I had two. My friend had a spicy margarita, not too sweet and she said it was amazing. Hubs and hers had craft beers and they really liked them. Pigtails has food. The oysters are so fresh and good (for a landlocked state) and the Fun-guy flat bread was fabulous. When you leave, the door has a sign that reads "employees only". I don't think you'll want to leave anyway. Cheers!! read more

the drinks are all pre-made and the menu is actually quite small. the ambiance was not what I expected and it was a bit tricky to find as its inside another restaurant. our server was a bit off-putting to be honest, I was mostly disappointed in the drinks not being made to order/fresh and you can't alter the drinks at all either I thought it was weird for a bar to not be able to alter the cocktails. read more
