First time at this location, and it was honestly a great time! I was really worried it would be busy for a Friday night, I arrived around 1930 to see some open booths.(This left me content)Unfortunately I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked, but definitely a nice location. Drinks start from $10 up to MP so you will definitely find variety here. The overall service was great, and our waitress did an outstanding job at gauging when we needed something and when to ask us how we were doing. If you haven't checked out this location I would recommend it, your only clue is the Pig on a chalkboard and make sure to have your ID ready. read more

I'm so excited about this place! Part of me wants to bring all my friends, post and tag on IG and tell everyone. The other part of me wants to bring my friends "blindfolded", post and tag on IG but not list the name or location LOL it's such a new place and pretty hidden it's not at the point of being crowded, but selfishly I don't want it to get there either. I've been there 3 times already and they've only been open for a week and a half. We sat at the bar and ordered snacks. With this being a sister bar of Whining Pig, I was surprised at the amount of items on the menu. Then I was even more pleased at how delicious everything tasted. Ashlee was our bartender for the first day and she took care of us, was able to explain all the drinks and provide details on the food. I've only been during the week for lunch or directly after work. Looking forward to see how it is on a weekend nights her read more

The place is very cute! I had gone here last weekend and the bartenders were very nice. I only got one drink here which was the Usual Suspects and it was good - a guava lemon rose lemonade cocktail. I came here again today and it was extremely busy! The guy in the front was super attentive and nice, but the wait was about 35+ minutes which was totally not his fault. I don't understand why you can't make reservations online but can make them in person?? Would make it easier for everybody.I left bc I didn't want to wait but I would come back because I enjoyed the bartenders and atmosphere:)) the garden wall is so cute ( I have not tried the food yet, will update). read more

While not quite a speakeasy, it does have the fun aspect of a hidden entrance. You enter through the "meat market" and got brought the door labeled "cocktails". Inside is small but has a really cool vibe. The living wall behind the bar is different and an eye catcher. Drinks are top notch and so delicious. We had an appetizer and a dessert with our drinks. Everything was awesome and we'd love to visit again. read more

Pigtails is a really interesting speakeasy bar to get drinks at. The music is whatever but I do like concept inside and you also have the option to order food. I ordered the old fashioned 15 yr drink and a Peruvian affair cocktail. Both were really smooth and got me the buzz that I needed. There's no reservations here so if you're coming on the weekend, I recommend you put your name down on the list and then walk around cityscape or grab drinks elsewhere to kill time. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! Cool AF. Went this afternoon for happy hour with a friend. I wondered why this lil place sucking oysters and with shrimp on ice was randomly downtown. Well if you walk in, there is a door that has a sign that says "cocktails." When you open that door... YASSSS! It's dark, it's nicely decorated with a HUGE live plant wall, it's small and the drinks and food are DELICIOUS!!! The Cauliflower, the Mediterranean board, the nachos. I had the Prickly Pear Collins, not bad... It reminded me of a cough syrup from my childhood, for some reason. . OMG, the service! Those ladies are THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST! Thank you. They have just the right timing. They don't bother you, but they keep their eye on you. Love this place!!! read more

Who woulda thought a butcher shop would be an amazing hang out?! Pigtails checked all the boxes! Our bartender was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave great suggestions. We had the oysters, shrimp, and ceviche which were all so fresh with great flavor. Next we tried a flatbread, which we could have eaten all night! The drinks were refreshing and perfect balance of flavors. The only thing I'm contemplating is if I want to reorder what I got or try everything else next time I go in. Also, it had a great bar area and atmosphere for anyone that might be looking for a place to go solo. read more

This amazing speakeasy is such a fun place to visit. The drinks and staff are equally amazing. However, if you do sit at the bar, you may not be socially distant. All of the tables have the plexiglass dividers to allow for safe distancing. There are even outdoor tables if you ask! Take a chance and try their seafood and always check the blackboard for drinks and food items that may not be on the menu! I highly recommend the mystery punch if you can't decide which drink is your favorite. If you like fruit forward the Guava Be Kidding is fabulous! read more

My first time here, I wasn't aware that this place would be so popular or packed, I suggest maybe calling to see if you can book a reservation we had a 30 min wait. -- The atmosphere was great it was very chic place, very cool wall with the live plants and the bar. The host was great, she was very nice an respectful she had great suggestions when it came to the drinks. Me and a few friends all got different drinks and a shareable nachos. towards the end of the night the host took a great while with getting our bill and our cards and had a little difficulty for some odd reason she charged one of our cards twice ?? She explained and scurried away as fast as she could which was weird because she was super sweet... If you visit, I suggest having an open mind, these are not your typical drinks, also I personally did not like the two drinks I got. The first one with the orange and mint was very very bitter and tart it also tasted like there was fresh ginger in it, it looked beautiful but as far as taste, I would now get it. Second round I opted for the mystery punch and that too was a very tart drink it was slightly sweeter then the drink I had before. I really wanted to step out of my comfort zone, but next time I will stick to my usual. read more

Don't pay for parking in the garage when you arrive. As soon as you get to the hostess station, provide your license plate number, and they'll validate your parking for up to two hours. If you plan to stay longer or go somewhere else afterward, keep in mind that the validation will expire. Extending the parking for another two hours cost me $14.

This is very cool joint with a dark feel too it. They have a basement bar which we ventured into and they also have an upstairs bar as well, so you can fit a lot of drunk People in there. It also features a lot of great art that fits really highlights the Mexican bar vibe. The waitress/bar tender/ agave expert was very welcoming and know a lot about their tequilas and mescal option. I love me some smokey mescal, I dont remember thet name of the drink but it had some kind of elote triple sec or something like that along with Mescal and it was quite tasty. Trust me I was in no state to remember ingredients but this is from my foggy memory. I also got a pick of the cool ice blocks that has an Agave inlay that they put in the tumbler with your drink. I will definitely be going back for their wide Mescal and tequila options. I didn't see food in the bar, but they have a food truck out front that smelled amazing, but sometimes I simply dont want to eat when there are plenty of drinks to be had. They do have Esquites, Tacos, Quesadillas, Mini Chimis, and loaded fries. I will have to do another review on the food when I am not out being a borracho. They do take reservations and host private parties which would make for one raucous Christmas party if you don't work at a Christ loving conservative company like me. You can also order bottles of mescal and pick it up on location which is pretty awesome as especially after trying out the selection. Happy hour is every weekday that they are open to try out some of their cocktails.

Located in Downtown Phoenix, the parking situation is a little hairy. There is paid parking nearby,…read morebut it definitely is better to come a little earlier to scope out the parking situation and get that sorted before your reservation. My party and I had a reservation on a Saturday night at 9pm (when it's 13 people, what can you do). What kind of sucked though (and mainly why I'm deducting a star) is that we did wait an additional half hour to be seated after our reservation time. Our theory is that they didn't think the entire party would actually arrive, and they were not ready to accommodate us. To be fair, the restaurant IS on the smaller side, but there was 0 communication during that half hour on what was going on... which isn't really good for us either. We got the original set, and this somewhat confused me as well. The food was really good, and was definitely a restaurant that I'd go to for the experience, but for some reason some of the meats were doubled while others weren't. The double portions were really nice since our party was so large, we needed to split the food between 4 different grills (so each table got 2 grills each, feeding 6-7 people in total or 3-4 people per grill), but then we had to share the portions where we only got one serving. It wasn't bad, but to me, didn't make sense. The food was really good though; I didn't care too much about the soup, but the green sauce was SO good. Mixing a little with the soup was incredible. I thought the beef and pork were really good. I personally left the restaurant full, but many others in my party did not. I think it's a really good amount of food for 2 people, but when you push to 3+, you probably do not want to come hungry. Also--the live music at Pemberton next door is SO LOUD, you're going to be shouting at your table the entire night when you sit outside. I think I would come back if I wanted to show this place to someone who didn't live here, but it isn't on the top of my list for when I'm trying to eat out, but I will definitely consider this for special date night occasions. It is extremely expensive for what it is though. For $70+ you risk the chance of leaving not full which SUCKS.

I wish they give the options of mushrooms like Enochi and King Oysters along with extra condiments for the Suki Sauce like Garlic, Chilli and Lime juice. The service was really good and attentive. This place really took me back to the Moo Kra Ta buffets in Bangkok and made me nostalgic. I hope they do have more options in terms of seafood and veggies! I hope the restaurant specifies clearly that the services are on reservation basis only because it isn't clarified anywhere yet. This would help a lot of people. Also, I hope the restaurant informs, directs and put in place about the parking spaces available around. Can't wait to get back already!

It's located inside a hotel so you have to come up the elevator and when you turn the corner and walk into the vestibule you are immediately thrown into the Halloween experience. There's a seating area and some shelves and now there's a phantom there, as well as mood lighting and some spooky little touches like skulls and scary doll heads. When you walk through to the actual bar, there is a giant skeleton in the red Moody lighting. There are spider webs everywhere but my favorite thing in the entire bar was on a credenza that held spooky dolls - - and a very creepy clown doll with a broken leg. I really want that clown doll! There is a circle of ghost children dancing and a coffin in the corner. They do have a haunted Halloween cocktail menu, and while you can still order from the regular menu, they've actually temporarily removed some of the regular cocktails to make room for the Halloween cocktails. We ordered the Clown Pear-anoia, okay mezcal cocktail served in a spooky clown mug, and the Widows Whisper, a Halloween tiki drink. As always at Little Rituals, the cocktails were delish. Little rituals has received many awards, including a James Beard semifinalist for outstanding bar, and the 2025 Best U.S. Hotel Bar. If you like cocktail bars, you have to go to little rituals. It's definitely one of the best in the valley!

The reservation fee is $25 per person. Keep in mind that this is not simply a reservation deposit like most places. You are actually paying $25 and in exchange you get a boarding pass, a welcome cocktail, a set of wings (this is a really nice quality pin, not the cheesy plastic wings they give the kids on Southwest), spicy nuts, and a sweet treat. When you arrive, you pick up your "boarding pass" at Wren and Wolf around the corner. This flight was going to Tokyo. There is a red-rope line that you wait in until your "flight" boards. At your reservation time, the "Captain" opens the door and a "flight attendant" takes you to your seat. Actually, they call them stewardesses because it's supposed to be 70's themed. The inside is kind of amazing. It's airline themed without being too literal. We have visited another airline themed cocktail lounge in Palm springs which literally had real airline seats. This is not that. It has a lot of beautiful shiny wood and great lighting and it's just generally a gorgeous space. There is a bar at the back. Throughout your 90-minute experience, there is a captain on the overhead letting you know what will happen next. They start by bringing you a welcome cocktail and a bowl of spicy nuts. Love the nuts, did not like the cocktail at all. I just poured mine into my husband's glass and he finished it. They come around next to take your cocktail order. My husband ordered a melon sour, and I ordered a chocolate martini. I'm sad to say I did not like this cocktail either, although I did finish this one. Hubby thought his was fine. After that round of cocktails the flight attendant and Captain come around with the cart to take Martini orders. It looked like less than half of the people ordered a martini. We were there on a Sunday afternoon, and so the two cocktails we already had were plenty and we did not order martinis. Then the flight attendant comes around with a plate of black and white cookies. They were so good - - they tasted homemade. This was really just fun. While I didn't love the cocktails, I did love the cookies and the spicy nuts and the whole experience and I really recommend it.

Stopped into Pigtails Cocktail Bar with a group of 11 while celebrating a friend's birthday, and I'm so glad we did. The vibe was super chill, and we lucked out with a booth tucked in the back corner - perfect for our crew. I ordered the Sticky Situation (mezcal, mango, piment, lemon, coconut) and it was absolutely delicious - bright, citrusy, and refreshing with just the right balance of smoke and sweetness. Easily one of my favorite cocktails of the night. Service was top-notch. Our waiter brought great energy, kept the waters flowing right when we sat down, and checked in often without ever hovering. Even one of the bartenders got in on the fun - I was doing a scavenger hunt and needed to tell a stranger a joke, and he happily played along. We only stayed for a round before heading to our next stop, but I'd definitely go back. Between the unique drinks, friendly staff, and cool vibe, this spot is a gem in Phoenix. Highly recommend stopping in if you're nearby! read more

The drinks were expertly crafted and absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere had an intimate, lively vibe. I especially loved the playful entrance--it added a fun, unexpected touch. One unique perk is that the food comes from Cobana next door, which definitely gives this spot a creative edge. While the service wasn't bad, it was on the slower side. The interior is vibrant and full of character--definitely Instagram-worthy, but the booths were a bit on the snug side. That said, this cocktail lounge is a must-visit if you're exploring downtown. Just a heads-up: they don't take reservations, so plan accordingly! read more

It definitely has its own…read moreunique character, and I recommend you read the literature on Melinda herself and understand where you are and what it's named after, because it makes the experience that much better. I don't want to spoil it in the review, but I feel like the backstory gives the place all the more ambiance. The red tones given off throughout the bar set the stage for a very mid-century vibe, and it's definitely a unique place to sip on some drinks with your friends. A few things I noticed: if you're lucky enough to get there when there's not a line, you're probably there a little earlier in the evening--but the line can get pretty long. However, the way the bar works, the bartenders are very personable. They are talkative, informative, and nice, and that's part of the experience. You may end up waiting a little bit longer, but the time, effort, and quality of the service and drinks make it worth it, in my opinion. If you're going to Melinda's Alley, you're going for the experience. If you want a quick drink, go to a bigger bar with tons of bartenders--not a speakeasy. I enjoyed my time here. I felt lucky to have stopped in for the evening--it definitely gave my night a spark. I will definitely return.

We got there about 15 minutes after opening and were surprised to see how long the line was at the bar. Turns out they only had two bartenders working and they were taking their time with each patron. We were served by Jared. He was super cool and very personable. He gave us the history of Malinda Curtis (she ran a brothel in the late 1800s) before telling us about the cocktail list. The drink menu is small, but creative. The menu changes each day (they're only open on Fridays and Saturdays) with the exception of the Old Fashioned. Jared informed us that they don't repeat drinks so you have one opportunity to try one of the specialty cocktails for that day. I had the No Soup For You which was a watermelon gin cocktail. It was really good and refreshing. My friend had the Jiminy Cricket which was a mint and chocolate vodka drink. Both drinks were very pretty. The furniture and decor had an early 20th century feel and was on par with the prohibition era. There's a decent amount of seating, though it filled up fast. The music that was playing was good, but very loud. We only had one drink because we didn't want to stand in line again for a second round. Despite the wait, Melinda's Alley was a cool spot to start our night.

Really well balanced. I also appreciate the service was great, even with a busy bar. I love clarified cocktails and there were 3 options, our server was able to help me decide which one to try based on her descriptions and what I like. The menu is detailed which helps as well. My friend is vegan and she ordered the Living Color cocktail but she didn't notice the taro root cream, only after getting the drink and taking a sip, she realized due to how creamy it is. The bartender had no issue with making her a different drink that doesn't include dairy. But just know I'm not vegan, so down the hatch it went! I liked it as my final drink due to the desert feeling it has-- creamy and almost reminded me of an adult milkshake once melted a bit. During our time there, we ordered a couple drinks each, no snacks this time, we had already eaten dinner. Drinks we enjoyed: living color, passion project, quiet luxury, twig & berries, climate control, and a beer & shot.

So I couldn't say no to a nightcap on a Sunday evening. Ambiance (5/5): This is certainly one of the areas where Filthy shines. When you think of a classic speakeasy, this is it. Elegance and sophistication to a T. Dim lighting, beautiful decor... they really did a great job. They often have live music, which adds to it. There's a little nook with a piano in the corner. I sat at the bar. Two thumbs up for the comfortable bar stools. Not all bars can say the same. There are also a good number of comfortable booths. How do you find the establishment? Hint hint: it's connected to Cleaverman's Steakhouse. The entrance is outside. There's some signage to lead the way. Now go and find it. Service (4/5): Overall, the service was good. There was one bartender working while I was there. I had to grab her attention here and there, but she was solid. A little more attentiveness would have helped. Food (2/5): This was a surprise. Since Filthy is owned by a high-end steakhouse, I was expecting the food to be top-notch. The menu isn't as expansive as the steakhouse, but there are a good number of options to choose from. I went with the lobster roll which is served with fries. It had been a year and a half plus since I had a lobster roll so I was overdue. And this is coming from a guy who loves lobster. Unfortunately, the roll really missed the mark. I'm not sure if the chef messed up because if he didn't, this dish needs to be revised. Funny enough, it wasn't the lobster or the roll which was the problem. Decent amount of lobster meat, prepared well, and a fresh roll. The problem was two fold: a ridiculous amount of celery (lobster rolls usually have small pieces or none at all) and a ridiculous amount of mayo. Both of these things overpowered the dish. To the point where you want to remove part of the celery and scrape off the mayo. The fries, on the other hand, were crisp and well seasoned. Good portion size too. Drinks (4/5): As the name indicates, Filthy Martini Bar has a good number of martinis on the menu. But they also have a good number of cocktails outside of that. At a speakeasy, I look for creativity and an interesting blend of flavors and ingredients. Filthy does that well. I tried two cocktails, one martini and one non-martini. Both were well made. Expensive but well made. While the food was a disappointment, ultimately, I judge a speakeasy by their drinks. This was on point.

Located in the Melrose part…read moreof Phoenix, I checked out Bar 1912 after having dinner at Valentine (hint, hint: the speakeasy is located inside the restaurant). They have a small parking lot, but it's free and I was able to find a spot on a Friday evening. Ambiance (2.5/5): Speakeasies are known for their sophistication and for their hidden entry. Bar 1912 isn't much of a mystery. There are two entry points. Either a door in the back of the restaurant or a hallway inside the restaurant that's relatively easy to find as there isn't a door or anything in between the restaurant and the speakeasy. Our waiter took us there after our meal. Bar 1912 is nice, but just about average in terms of ambiance compared to other speakeasies. Part of the reason is that it's very loud (seats 30 people or so) and all of the seating at the bar are back-less bar stools (which I personally hate due to my back). I would have preferred to sit on the various couches/sofas next to the bar. Service (4.5/5): Friendly, attentive service. Exactly what you hope for when you're grabbing a drink (especially when they take a little longer to make due to their sophistication). You're provided with water without asking which is always a nice touch. I had to grab the bartender's attention once or twice, but outside of that, a job well done. Food (N/A); Since I had dinner at Valentine prior, I skipped food here. They have a small menu consisting mostly of appetizers (many, but not all, which are offered at Valentine). One option which isn't at Valentine, but which piqued my interest is the Sonoran hot dog. Had I been hungry, it would've been a no brainer. They have four or so desserts on the menu, and I had room for dessert, but none of them seemed appetizing. Drinks (4/5): When I'm at a speakeasy, I look for creativity and an interesting blend of ingredients. You certainly have that here. There's a focus on Native American and Hispanic influences here, which is pretty cool, and fitting since we're in Phoenix and everything. I tried two cocktails, one was a hit and one was a miss. I'm pretty flexible when it comes to cocktails, and I know what I like, so I rarely miss. Unfortunately, it happened here. With that being said, I tried some liqueurs I had never had before which is awesome. And I enjoyed the cocktail menu. This isn't the type of spot you'll find an Espresso Martini...thankfully. With a couple of tweaks, Bar 1912 could be in line with some of my favorite speakeasies in town.
