Charming in the best way! They've really worked hard to make this place feel like a nostalgic visit with your grandpa if he was the coolest, hippest grandpa ever who had insane bar tending skills. Every detail in this building was so carefully considered and really yielded refined but almost-whimsical ambiance as a result. Our little group had a blast ordering several cocktails and trying them all. First, Poppy's Cigar. The presentation alone makes it a must-try, and the cigar scent lingers long after the drink is done. My favorite drink of the night was the Money Trees, which was like a sweet bourbon with bananas foster. We also tried the Lil Demon, which includes a chai foam that's very unique. The third highlight for me was a Chocolate Martini, which wasn't on the menu but was the first I've ever had to not include Bailey's. So good! I should also mention that the bartender was kind enough to make the chocolate martini, even though we could tell it isn't his favorite drink to make. We also tried the chocolate lave cake and the deep fried cornbread. The cake was decadent and true to what you'd expect. The deep fried cornbread was a showstopper... sweet but savory, like if a churro visited the Texas State Fair. read more

This was a nice easy access speakeasy feel establishment. I was hoping for a little more "underground" with password, etc. That was not the case, however, walking in the front door. I definitely got the speakeasy feels. It also has large screen TVs where sports are playing. That does take away from the speakeasy field, but it's a good balance between casual eye out to watch a sporting event with friends and get a classy cocktail in a great atmosphere. Not my first choice go to for speakeasy, but definitely makes the list. read more

Such a fun place to visit! Definitely a speakeasy feeling bar as it has subtle markings on the outside of the building, very much like Captains Cabin and Goose down in Phoenix and Scottsdale. We were in the area and stopped in on a Saturday late afternoon. You walk through a bookshelf which reveals the bar behind. It wasn't too crowded but we wanted to sit at the bar. Such a laid back ambiance, loved the bookshelves feeling of the bar. Drinks were very on point and would definitely come back to enjoy more. It's also right next to a restaurant which will be handy for food right after. Definitely recommend for anyone in the Cave Creek area! read more

Poppy's Office is located in North Scottsdale / Carefree, which can be a bit of a drive depending on where you're coming from, but it's definitely worth a visit. The space is very neatly designed, dimly lit and inviting, with lots of memorabilia and nice touches around, all the way to the bathroom. Did not try the food, but the cocktails were creative and tasty. The KBC was delicious (Cucumber Bluecoat gin, Chareau Aloe Liqueur, Kiwi, Fresh Lime Juice). The Poppy's Cigar is somewhat smoky but not overly so, and as you can see from the photos, the presentation was great. Plenty of parking around. You can reserve a table online, but we stopped by on a Saturday late afternoon / early evening without a reservation, and did not have problems getting seated. read more

Poppy's office is a speakeasy dedicated to the late restauranteur, Paul Keeler, by his children. Located next to Liberty Station on Scottsdale rd just south of Carefree, there is a single door and lamp to lead the way. You'll enter a small office and sneak back into the library and bar. There's just something about a dark speakeasy that makes me want an Old Fashioned. In Poppy's Office it's called Something Brown, made with a whistlepig, and it's real nice. Also, if lychee is on the menu, my husband and I are trying it... so Lychee On Me was a good choice as well. We didn't try any food so...darn it...I guess we'll have to go back. I did check out the restroom, of course, and was not disappointed. I also zoned in on some of the books on the sheriff's shelves and was surprised at the choices. Blindside and The Matthew Shepherd story were shelved by us and I have to wonder if they were chosen for a reason... interesting. It's a great speakeasy that you must check out! read more

Really cute, but could to try to make it more "speakeasy" the front door was not closed all the way, yes small detail, but it just made me think "ok this is noticeable". We just had cocktails and brisket fries. The fries were tasty. Each drinker got was really good. The Christmas decor was nice. The decor is amazing and so pretty. I really like the story behind this place. Would go again if in the area or family visiting, we just don't live close enough to go more often. read more

Enjoyed my time at Poppy's office yesterday! My boyfriend and I headed here for a drink after grabbing dinner and we thought the place was really cute and well decorated. I liked the entry way and it was fun to see everything on the walls. Our drinks were both a little sweet, but good. There were two servers working so we had both stop by and they were both friendly. Overall it was a good experience, I liked the variety with the drink menu! read more

Fun little place that serves a good selection of cocktails and serves BBQ from Liberty Station right next door. Not sure it is next door as much as a shared kitchen. The layout is a little bit odd with the tables all in a row. The entrance is cool and gives it a bit of a speakeasy vibe. Service was very good and very friendly. read more

A fantastic, quiet, speakeasy-esque bar with a great staff, cool decor and delicious drinks in the Cave Creek area! The staff greeted and seated me quickly in this cute, kind of quirky home office inspired bar and immediately poured me a glass of water to sip while I read through their beautiful leather-bound menu. The lights were dim with little electric tea light candles flickering against the books stacked on the huge bookshelf/entryway. Both bartenders were working diligently to assist me and the other patrons and suggested I try the Meltdown - it was FANTASTIC! It was like someone had made a super fresh pina colada and got squirrelly with some gin and guava purée but I absolutely LOVED it! The presentation was great too, it came in a large ornate glass filled with beveled ice and topped with, I believe, an orchid and some fresh mint! I really had to fight myself not to order a second one I was house sitting in the area that Saturday night and wanted to bring some dinner home with me after my drink and honestly, the food didn't disappoint either. I got the Smoked Chicken Wrap with coleslaw which came out maybe 10 mins after ordering and was thoroughly enjoyed when I got back home! Definitely a good bang for your buck at $15 compared to other bars like this with limited food options where you're typically overpaying for fried food fresh from the freezer. The vibe was there, the food was tasty and the drinks were great, I'll definitely be back with friends and family! read more

For a speakeasy on a Friday night, it was not very speakeasy, doors were open, no host. Drinks were not very good, and we have been there many times before, it was disappointing, probably not going back read more

Cozy hideaway with a library feel. Fun cocktail selection. I'm not much of a drinker but had a great experience with a Sunset Mist cocktail which included a lavender infused vodka. Great little cocktail for the light drinker. Enjoyed my food that gets brought over from Liberty Station. We shared deviled eggs and tacos, which were both excellent. Service was excellent. We sat at the bar. read more

My husband made a reservation at Poppy's Office for us on our anniversary prior to our dinner reservation at a restaurant down the way. I was really excited to try Poppy's Office because we had talked about it for so long and had not found the time to go. At first I was really impressed with the welcome; when you step in, it's a cool little welcome 'room' where you are greeted and your reservation is confirmed. You are then shown behind the area to the bar area. We were sat and I found it to be a cool vibe. The Happy Hour isn't long and it was over already when we arrived. Our server was not friendly and it threw both my husband and I off a bit due to the fact that he noted it was our anniversary. She seemed to not want to be there. My husband ordered a smoked drink and I a simple Pinot Noir. I wanted a champagne but there was only one Prosecco on the menu and I felt it was over priced for the brand. I would have liked to also have a simple olive or crunch type thing in the experience with the drink, rather than the menu from next door, which I found tacky. My husband ordered a second drink , which he asked about prior to ordering and it turned out to be SO boozy , ( also super $$$$) , it was NOT allowed to be left at the table, which the server did not explain prior to ordering.. one would think since he asked about the drink , she would have mentioned that ? And how boozy it was .. he didn't have a whole glass of it .. before we had to leave. Someone else brought our check and that annoyed our server as she asked who delivered our check. I can't handle when servers do things like that. Please leave your personal stuff away from our experience.. we also didn't love that this is connected to Liberty Station and the simple curtain that was continually opened and closed to the neighboring restaurant. For a speak easy , it didn't carry through on that 'speakeasy' feel for me .. although I didn't hate it, I didn't love it and it felt like a typical bar to me rather than an experience that should have a upscale feel if calling itself a speakeasy- starting with a munch with the drink and the server being kind. Leave the Liberty Station menus at their restaurant. read more

There's nothing more frustrating then when a waitresses mastered the art of never making eye contact, and walking past your table for 20 minutes without checking on you. There was only five occupied tables last night. We sat with empty drinks and empty plates for a loooong time until I finally had a waitress down which was more difficult than it seems. Huge drink menu, which was nice and the food was great. they should probably categorize the drinks into spirit forward or fruity because he really have no idea what you're getting. I ordered the child of the corn and plum parade. Both were just old fashions with a different kind of bitters. they were good, but I didn't want two old-fashioned in a row, and the cocktail picture and description didn't lead me to think that's what they would be. i'd go back, but I would sit at the bar and ask the bartender to explain the cocktails before I ordered. that would also alleviate the poor waitress service. read more

Trevor, Kasey and Sydney are the absolute best! They craft incredible drinks, even when going just on flavors you like. For those looking for it, Sydney is a NA wizard! Creative and unique NA drinks aren't the easiest to find and she has whipped up drinks so tasty that you wouldn't imagine they are alcohol free. We love Poppy's, the atmosphere, the drinks, the food from Liberty Station, but most of all the employees! We're so grateful there is such a great hidden gem in the N Scottsdale / Cave Creek / Carefree area! read more

Saved the Night! Came here after a truly awful dinner and thankfully this place turned the whole night around. The ambiance is so unique and transformative-it felt like stepping into another world in the best way possible. The cocktails were creative, balanced, and seriously delicious. The staff was incredibly attentive and fun, and they went out of their way to make my birthday special for me and my friends. And let me just say: the best gosh darn espresso martini made with reposado - amazing. It's the kind of spot you want to tell everyone about... but also kind of want to keep to yourself. A hidden gem that absolutely made up for the earlier disappointment. Can't wait to come back. read more

What a delightful experience! From the moment we entered the lobby area (which is full of fun sports items and books) to when we paid the bill, our experience was top-notch. When we entered, we were warmly greeted and checked in. The entrance into the bar/lounge area is pretty cool. One important thing to note...the area is dimly lit so reading the menus is a challenge. However, the dim lighting adds to the charm. The drink menu offers a wide variety of options so finding something you like shouldn't be a problem. I chose the 100 Grand which was sheer perfection. The food options come from Liberty Station next door and again, plenty to choose from. I had the pork shoulder with a salad and fries. The pork was expertly prepared and so incredibly tender. The sides were nice but the star of this meal was the pork. Oh, we tried the deviled eggs, too. Delicious!! Our server was very personable and professional. She was very helpful with the questions we had about the menu. The overall experience was awesome and I'm looking forward to introducing it to other friends, read more

Fun speakeasy north of the 101! I loved this place because it wasn't over crowded. Cocktails were funky and delicious. Mixologist- possibly manager - had very extensive alcohol knowledge. A very kind guy. Bartender was a kind, young girl who made us some very tasty drinks. While enjoying your drinks, you can order food from Liberty Station! Brisket fries were good, non fatty brisket which I prefer. Ribs fell off the bone and paired well with their cornbread, Mac and coleslaw. We will definitely be back! read more

Not going to write a bad review but when you are having a speak easy you need to offer an experience. The front desk gal was sweet but didn't have any idea how to get the experience going . A plus on the cocktails and bartender . We had the calamari which could have been any thing under that deep fry . That was a disappointment. You have a cute place put more of an effort in your food and experience and you can have a winner ... read more

Great concept. We sat at the bar for a drink and meal. The place is very cozy and has a great atmosphere. The food is brought in from next door's Liberty Station and was great. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the bar service. The man behind the bar, who took our orders, wasn't even the one who made the drinks and he was really uninformed about them. read more

Great drinks. I had a smoked old fashioned. Great speak easy vibe. The service is good as we had appetizers from the Liberty Station next door. The only odd thing was that the atmosphere is dark and moody with nice whisky glasses yet appetizers are served on paper plates. Just odd Drops the rating from 5 to 4.9! read more

I have been looking forward to visiting this spot for months- finally got my chance on Valentine's Day! FYI - they are closed Mondays! I am so glad we kept trying- despite a lackluster first impression! First I'll disclose why I docked 1 star: We were "greeted" (if you can call it that) by a "hostess" (using that term lightly) who's FIRST & ONLY words were "Do you have a reservation?". She was silent and did not make eye contact for the rest of our thankfully brief interaction- despite us thanking her for "seating" us at the bar. (Strange & awkward) Now for the good part- the ambiance inside AND the bartender totally redeems the experience! I believe our excellent bartender goes by Trevor. He was 5 star all the way. Knowledgable, accommodating, friendly, & easygoing. The vibe and attire were professional and on point (once inside that is)! While Trevor was perfectly willing and able to creat a custom craft bourbon cocktail we were considering... through his inquiries, he was able to discover what would suit us best- and he opened up a world of new-to-us tequila. We are so happy with his suggestions and thoroughly enjoyed his recommendations which elevated, not only our experience at Poppy's Office, but our libations forthcoming. The decor is moody, exclusive, and exquisite without feeling overly elegant or stuffy. A cozy speakeasy/secret library with well designed light fixtures and design made it a very enjoyable place to hang out with a friend or your own sweetheart. We really loved this place overall, and we will be back! read more

We have been anticipating this speakeasy opening as we love their next door restaurant: Liberty Station Terravita! Super cool that you are able to make reservations to sit at the bar and I recommend making reservations because it's sure to become a hotspot and it's very intimate! Happy to see Tate behind the bar as the bar manager...so welcoming to see a friendly face! The cocktails were well balanced and delicious! The carnitas tacos were the best, the steak & chicken were pretty dry but today was opening day so Im sure they will get it figured out! Pretty cool vibe inside of Poppy's sports memorabilia right when you enter before going through the hidden door! With price of the cocktails and leather menu embedded with the speakeasy name, we were kinda disappointed that our food was served in baskets and we were given plastic utensils...but again it was the first day...maybe the dinnerware did not come in on time! Overall it's worth a visit up to N Scottsdale/ Cave Creek area and a beautiful homage to Poppy!! read more

The staff, ambiance, and drinks are good, but the food was disappointing. We liked the concept and atmosphere. Plenty of good, unique drink options. We enjoyed the Menta Be, OMG Scientist, and Hidden Monk. The food is average, at best. Since they only offer tacos, chips, and dips, we expected them to be great. We had higher expectations, especially being aligned with Liberty Station, which we love. The salsas were not good. Our tacos were cold and small. They discounted our tacos, since they came out so late, without us complaining. We really appreciated that. They are trying, and we hope it improves. read more

Fortunately, they had no dining tables available, and they guided us to the speakeasy next-door and we had a great time there with great ambience read more

The cocktails are inventive but strangely tropical themed. The lack of food and carry through of the theme are detractors. My suggestion would be to carry the office theme through the service. The person at the front desk should be asking you who you are here to see and keeping the secret door closed so it's not obvious where it is. The waitstaff should be asking you how the meeting is going. Yes you need to find it and there is a "secret door" but it needs to be more "office-y" throughout the experience. read more

Basically the overflow for the main restaurant when they are too crowded and understaffed. Went to main restaurant and told one hour wait but could get into Poppy's office right now. Rather than walk through simple curtain dividing the restaurant with the "office", had to go outside and walk through a gimmicky reception area where we sat at the bar for 20 minutes and finally walked out as the bartender was the only one working the whole place and never acknowledged our presence. We will be back for food some other time but, rather than make up some lame gimmicky "secret office" perhaps the management should simply just keep area open as overflow and staff it appropriately. read more

Kacey & Tate gave us remarkable service through a busy night, would have never expected to experience such a great experience but Adam and another person from next door restaurant who had red hair made sure we were okay.
