Sazerac PHX is a definite vibe! And when the cute bartender Anthony is there, it makes an even better experience!! Lol I have been here twice now, and the first time was a few weeks ago. Friend was in town, so our group of 4 bar hopped the night away. Sazerac happened to be one if our stops that night and I loved it! Bars aren't usually my thing, but if I ever do go, it's with a group. We were semi-tipsy when we arrived but each got a drink to keep th vibe alive. I k ow I didn't order anything on the menu, but I did ask Anthony to make me something peachy/mango-y and he came through!! Idk what he put in it but he called it the "Ta Daaaa!" It was absolutely delicious and right up my alley! Later in the evening, my friend and I shared a shot while our guy friends were chopping it up on the patio. That damn shot was sooo freakin' good and didn't break the bank, either! If you're looking for a chill spot to have a drink or two, this is it. The patio is nicely decorated and there's a taco truck serving up yummies to go with your tasty cocktails. Gather up your crew and head to Sazerac for a night you won't soon forget. And don't forget to grab some freebies to the left of the door when you exit! **IYKYK** lol read more

The drinks here were delicious. I tried an appletini and a signature cocktail called "smokin berries". Both cocktails were made with the perfect amount of alcohol: you could tell it was in there but it didn't burn. Our bartender was friendly and knowledgeable. He gave advice on beverages and answered my questions I had about tequilas. We each had a tequila shot together and he answered our questions about the different tequilas that they have. The hostess/guard at the door wasn't in a very good mood but maybe she was tired or had put up with too many rude customers I didn't have any food but my friends had loaded fries and tacos and they looked really good. Liked the vibe! The music was good and the mood was chill. Definitely would go back. Just don't visit the bathroom unless you're prepared for nudity read more

Get the sazarita (house marg!) -- it is premade and sweet but not sickeningly so. So it's quick and easy, but also delicious! During our brief stay, we saw a couple get into a heated altercation before storming out (drama!!) but it was nice to see a few of the service workers go out and check on them to make sure things didn't escalate. We stayed in the indoor portion, so we didn't really explore the DJ area, but this place was packed on a Friday evening (~10:30pm) and folks seemed to be enjoying themselves! I will also note this place is efficient -- almost to the point of making you feel like they want you gone. The minute my sister finished her drink, the bartender scooped it up. That said, the efficiency is also quite appreciated because a server broke a glass right next to our table and within 2 minutes it was cleaned up! read more

Sazerac is a great spot for a quality nightcap (and some lat night food truck eats). My colleagues executed an EPIC event, and after 15+ hours working on our feet, we needed a festive place with stiff cocktails and food. First, for a divey-style bar, the barkeep was really friendly. And they have good drinks. He made a stiff dirty martini, an espresso martini, and a few of their Mezcal-based "Smoke and Berries." Outside, we feasted on cheap eats from (I can't remember the name), but we ordered everything from tacos to nachos to fries and I think empanadas? Great music, great lighting, service, and drinks. Highly rec. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Delicious food and wonderful atmosphere with great customer service. We will return to enjoy more of their food. The empanadas are a must have! read more

Came to Sazerac for some late night drinks and snackies. We arrived after 11pm on a Thursday and the place was busy, but not packed. The space is casual and vibey. We went to the bar first to get our drinks. Service was fast and friendly. Sazerac doesn't serve food, but The Nach food truck is parked on their patio, permanently I believe. Half of the group ordered mezcal cocktails and the other half, martinis. Mine was an espresso martini, of course. Drinks were made quickly and tasted great. Then we made our way outside to The Nach food truck. We had just left an event where we didn't eat much so we were a bit hungry. We ordered a little bit of everything; quesadilla, nachos, tacos, and more. They all hit the spot! read more

Checked out Sazerac for the first time this past week! It was one of the only spots open past midnight on a Thursday for a cocktail, but absolutely fit the bill. They had a a good group of people inside, but we didn't have any trouble finding a table to sit and didn't have to wait too long to order a cocktail. I opted for the smoke and berries which is a mezcal cocktail. It was delicious! Perfectly smoky, refreshing and presentation was great. Our group got their four drinks within five minutes. I am not sure if they normally serve food during more regular hours, but late night, they have a great mexican food truck out on their patio! Overall, great vibe and spot for a cocktail and to catch up with friends. read more

I had a really good time at Sazerac!! They have an extensive selection of beer, cocktails and other drinks for purchase. They have an outdoor patio and air conditioner on the inside. They also have a food truck with a lot of different options to eat! read more

Very amazing service and drinks I liked the music and the atmosphere at the bar and very friendly people definitely will be back.

Sazerac PHX is one of those places that just feels good the second you walk in. It's super welcoming and full of good energy, no matter who you are. Whether you're part of the LGBTQ+ community or just coming out to have a good time, this spot makes everyone feel like they belong. There's a nice balance between the indoor space and the outdoor patio--both have their own vibe depending on what you're in the mood for. The outdoor area is great on cooler nights, and inside is always lively without feeling overwhelming. They usually have a food truck parked outside, and honestly, the food hits the spot. You wouldn't expect it to be that good for a bar, but it always is. I've been stopping by a couple times a month to hang out with friends, grab a drink, and just catch up. It's kind of become our go-to place because it never disappoints. If you're looking for a chill, friendly place to unwind, meet new people, or just enjoy the night, Sazerac PHX is it. read more

On a Friday night, it's more of a club, and less of a whiskey bar. EDM DJ, crowded, but good drinks. There is an outdoor area as well. Everyone enjoyed their drinks, I liked my mocktail, others got the Sazerac and Whiskey Sour. Parking is mainly street, or paid lots. read more

I cannot speak higher of this spot. my friend took me and i seriously loved it! the music was great, the vibe was great and the drinks were so so good! The workers were all so friendly and quick! Even when it got busy, they were hustling and having nice attitudes which is sometimes tough! We ended up getting a long table out on the patio since we had a group of 10 and we were all so happy with our drinks. We came on first friday and it was pretty crowded but it was really a good time. read more

So much fun. Had a night out with some girlfriends and stopped by here for drinks. It was karaoke night so we stayed and enjoyed some performances. We actually sang as well. It was a really fun night and I'd definitely go back! read more

Sazerac PHX is a sleeper hit in downtown Phoenix... low-key one of the best cocktail spots moving right now. 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. read more

Went out to meet some friends and was a little early, so upon parking on the Street I was in front of Sazerac. The music was calling me so I went in, the vibe is very hipster and fun. I went to the bar and ordered the Sazerita which was quite good I might say! I enjoyed the atmosphere and ordered one more drink and I decided on a Prickly Pearadise beer and it was sooo good, and I'm not normally a beer drinker but they had a large selection of beer,lager, and IPAs the bartender was very helpful with my pick and even gave me a sample. Overall I will definitely go back to Sazerac and try the food truck with Mexican food on their back patio. read more

Came on a Monday night with my son who is apart of the lgbt community and I fully support him as well as any business affiliations! Naturally we wanted to Check this place out. We obviously were too early because it wasn't busy at all but the doorman pointed out that it will get busy later which makes total sense. We had one drink each before leaving snd definitely no complaints there! The best part was the warm welcome and service the bartender provided. I would go back to chat with that sweetheart any day, I was shocked to see there's a taco truck. Next time I wont eat before going and will try this gem and the tacos on a weekend. We will definitely be back. read more

Made a reservation, and they gave our tables away. Ended up having to leave because of it. The cigar aspect is way over exaggerated on the website. They had a very poor selection of cigars, and the ones they recommended were really bad. Couldn't even smoke it that long. They also had some nude images in the bathroom. Very gross. Highly recommend you avoid this place. read more

Went here for my 21st and it was great! Cocktail was yummy and their food truck in the back was great. Will definitely be back read more

Cool bar to hang out and enjoy some really amazing drinks without going broke! gotta get back and try some of their specialty cocktails next time!! read more

Enjoyed the selection of cigars, and smoking a cigar on the patio. The food truck had a good selection of food.

This is a fun bar in the downtown Phoenix area. They usually play good music and they have a very large patio with tons of chairs, tables and benches. They have a large bar inside where there's a few tables and a smaller bar outside. They also have a Mexican food truck in the patio for those who want a bite to eat. Drinks are okay and at good prices and the staff is usually nice. The security/bouncers are nice too, at least from our experience. They check ID at the door and are pretty good about keeping people who are too rowdy out. They have good margaritas though sometimes they can be hit or miss based on taste, same for other cocktails. They offer tons of beer options too. Is a very spacious bar compared to some others near by and one of our regular ones. They also do a pretty good job of staying on theme with the holidays. read more

I've been here twice on a Saturday for brunch. The place isn't crowded and the door man is cool. But it's been the same bartender twice and he once cut us off despite showing no apparent signs of being over served. Instead a decent alcohol tolerance and 3 drinks in an hour calls to be 86d would never go again unless you're a nice guy that can get along with a bartender that wants to posture Drinks were weak too, bartender on day shift needs work read more

First time here and literally came for the food truck for the late night munchies The line to enter Sazerac looked long but thankfully it moved fast and was inside the door with in minutes. The taco truck is parked outside in their patio area. It's called The Nach! Food is amazing! Queso Birria Tacos were my fave the cheese curds were good too. Will definitely be back to hang and scope the scene some more! Also glad this place is open late! read more

I love this place it's definitely a downtown/Roosevelt Row staple! I love the laidback elevated lounge whether you sit down inside or outside! The staff here is always super friendly! This spot is locally owned and queer owned so you know the crowd and the vibes are always immaculate. Delicious cocktail offerings- my favorite is the Smoking Berry (hello mezcal and fruit!). The food truck on sight The Nach provides delicious Mexican-American fare as well! read more

I love this place! It's always such a good time. Just went Friday night and the music is always really good. I love the taco truck outside, misters and multiple bars. And it's in the heart of downtown so you can always walk around and bar hop to Luckys, Pemberton, LA Palma, or Cham pang lanes. read more

My friend ordered some drinks from the bar tender and another bar tender came up while the original bar tender was making my friend's drinks and asked if "I" wanted anything. As I was ordering the original bartender came up and rudely told me not to order from the other bar tender and basically told the other bar tender to fuck off. Overall I wasn't dealing with this single bartender originally and could have ordered from anyone but for some reason this one person thought he owned us. Just having that experience was off putting and didn't make us want to order again. We finished our drinks which were good btw but still left due to that confrontation. read more

I tried this bar on a Saturday night with a group of friends. It was a triple date. We found a table outside for us all. Lots of fans to keep the area cool. drinks were good. We ordered food from the food truck and liked it! Good quality Mexican food. We would come here again. read more

great bar! this is a regular spot for me for sure. the music is always good, i loveeee the outdoor patio seating -- the misters are amazing in the summer, and the fireplace is so cozy in the winter. the drinks are always good, i love their midori sour and sazarita ($8)! love the freebies by the entrance on the right (iykyk). always felt like a safe space for people of all backgrounds, and if you get there before 11-12 there is never a line. love you saz!! read more

We had some friends visiting from out of state and they picked this place to meet for drinks. We got there pretty early, around 7pm, and the place was pretty empty. That didn't last long though - we only stayed a few hours and it was packed when we left. Drinks were great - I had a Mezcal mule and a gin and tonic and they were super strong but good. They have a taco truck that was great, but it was the only food option there. We also found out as we were leaving that Sazerac is a very LGBTQ+ friendly bar. I am a heterosexual female and I love that the atmosphere was so relaxed and everyone is accepted! read more

10/10 oh only 5, fine 5/5. I came on a first Friday around 8:30. Not terribly crowded was still able to find a spot at the bar and a free bartender. They told me no drink menu after 8 but that they could make whatever my heart desired (my words). I said something with cognac in a coupe, not too sweet. They made me a delicious cognac cocktail with aperol, lemon juice and peach. Top notch, will be back, great music too! read more

I love Sazerac! We went out on the night before thanksgiving which was very fun and very busy! We still were met with great service and it was pretty quick. They have a wide variety of drinks from wines, beer, ciders, cocktails, you name it, and prices are decent. On weekdays they also do happy hour which was a nice surprise on a separate occasion. They also have a delicious food truck in the outside area, my favorite is the fried zucchini bites! They have fun lights set up year round with plenty of tables and places to sit which always allows for a fun vibe. read more

Great bar but it was advertised at a cigar bar. It's not haha. But nothing wrong with the bar except, it is not a cigar bar

Had such a good time coming out here on a Friday night. It was a good time even though it was still a bit warmer when I attended. The bar was not overfilled but comfortable and there was a good size patio. I think it's definitely worth checking out and worthy of checking out again soon. Drinks were good and the vibes were there service was also good. read more

Not a bad spot for a late night drink. But nothing special. Just a well stocked bar. There aren't too many places open late downtown

If you want to have a night "by any means necessary"... this is the spot! You can start your night here or end it here. Either way, you'll be super happy. From the beautiful ambiance to the friendly, skilled bartenders, to the indoor outdoor options, the cigar service, the fun people, and the very, very, very tasty food truck that's ALWAYS parked outside... this place will not let you down. I like to sit outside, enjoy the weather, meet new people, have a few drinks, and order plenty of food. This is the first place I take my friends when they visit. As a recent transport from NYC, this is a great option to have in my repertoire to keep me busy, happy, and satisfied. Please give them a try. It's a lovely place to try out! read more
