First time at Sazerac PHX, I wasn't sure what to expect. They have a nice sized outdoor patio area. Inside it's always busy trying to order drinks at the bar. The clientele seems to favor a younger to middle age crowd. Gay and lesbian crowd are prevalent there but there are also a fair mix of patrons who aren't. I had a vodka tonic which was ok, I think the best part of my experience was the fun playlist peppered with the MTV generation throwback songs that everyone knows and likes. The inside was dark, a little gloomy and the tables and stools were dirty and needed cleaning. read more

Sazerac PHX is one of my favorite downtown Phoenix spots. The music is always on point, and there's never a cover charge, which is a huge plus. The drinks are solid, and the bartenders are friendly and professional. Outside, The Nach food truck serves up some of the best late-night eats--I'm a big fan of their carne asada fries and tacos. Great vibes, great service, and great food--what more could you ask for? read more

Came in for the first time on Saturday. What a great place. Love the vibe. Had the best bartender. Mark. Fabulous. Remembered our order with 4 very different drinks. I can't wait to come back. read more

FREE WATER! I love it! Went here for the taco truck in the back. I guess it was cigar and vibe night? Chill music, good food. Definitely recommend the onion rings and fries! Fries are fireeee! Wings were good too! The attendants are really nice and everything came out at a reasonable time. Again free water. read more

What's not to like about this wonderful bar. The atmosphere is very casual, the staff very friendly, and the drinks superb. You can enjoy your expertly crafted cocktail or craft beer in the elegant bar or the spacious patio which features a beautiful fire pit and a Mexican food truck in case you want some tasty noshes with your drink. This is truly an excellent place for a quiet relaxing drink or a vivacious gathering with friends to celebrate the end of the work day, the arrival of the weekend, or to share a special occasion. read more

we had a terrific time here. We showed up for the cocktails and the bartender was amazing, I had the most incredible house drink. My husband had a martini. we really wanted to go upstairs, but they were having a private party so we hung out downstairs and ended up meeting some folks at the bar and had the most wonderful conversation! I can't wait to go back and check out the rooftop and hang out more. I had my heart set on some of the waffle fries, but I wasn't hungry. Darn those looked great! read more

Cool spot! The ambiance is really awesome! Visiting from out of town and read reviews about how cool the happy hour was, hand crafted cocktails and specialty beer. They are in between menus so the 2.50 off specialty menu is out of the question! We asked the bartender for their special drinks and they couldn't serve us them because they didn't have a menu. read more

We had a bar we wanted to try last night but there was a huge line out the door so we decided to try sazerac instead as we walked past it. Glad we did! It is a cool inside/outside bar. Love that they have the food truck. I was wanting a fancy cocktail, so we looked on the website and the drink I got had no name by it so we just showed the bartender the picture and asked what was in it haha. My drink had mezcal and blackberry, I don't remember what else, but it was really delicious. My husband got a beer. Bartender was attentive even with the big crowd. They had some fun music choices here too! read more

Love love love this bar. If I was a local I might not tell you that this is a fantastic date spot on weeknights but since I'm not...bring that boo! The cocktails are fantastic.

Fresh, hip, alternative. There's a baby grand piano! This place is full of a good mix of people- younger crowd, well dressed, good music. The bartenders are attentive and offer fast service. This place has an overall cool, swanky vibe. They've got an excellent beer selection. 30+ beers on tap, plus all the liquor you desire. They've got a patio - it's a secluded more quiet area. Peeps are puffing stogies out there and jamming. Patio is dog friendly and they have a little taco food stand out there as well as another bar for drinks. Check out the bathrooms - they've got some vintage adult magazine cut outs plastered all over the walls. They're interesting, pique your curiosity, and can be graphic. Check them out! read more

Awesome beer selection and AMAZING food truck in the back that I got to at least once a week now

One of my favorite and best bars in downtown Phoenix. I've been coming here since 2019. Really proud of their success and how they have blossomed throughout these years. Sazerac is known for their drinks, cigars and great vibes. The service also never fails - we love Marc, he makes the best drinks! Food truck opens after 5 pm, I recommend the quesadilla and tacos. read more

Drinks are good, easy going crowd here. Pricing is about average for downtown bars. There is a smidge of downtown attitude which is funny as hell considering I've lived in Phoenix over twenty years and there was not much of anything to do back then and you needed to pack heat to walk at night. So I chuckle when I meet people that say I live downtown. I'm like go on? Lol The staff is hit or miss. My last visit I had a staff member cut in front of me at the well to wipe down the counter. Not sure what the deal was with that. All in all a fun place to go amongst various downtown venues read more

Went to this place for a friend's birthday The food outside was amazing and so was the young man running the food truck my biggest complaint was the bartender he was rude did not care to help and treated my party of 8 like we were bothering him I wouldn't ever go back because of the bartender service cigar selection was okay but again the bartender made it clear he did not care to be helpful read more

I've been to a ton of cocktail bars around Phoenix, and this is definitely up there. Between the 7 people in our group, we tried a bunch of the drinks and not a one disappointed. Definitely try the gin sage gimlet and the mezcal drink, pictured here. The latter was the collective favorite of the group. The Milli Vanilli was also delicious if you want dessert in the form of a cocktail. Looks like they also do some love music which is awesome read more

Sazerac PHX - Poorly trained bartender. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

First time in. Street parking only. Semi-classy environment with expensive drinks. Indoor and outdoor options. Small menu snack food available, also expensive. Clean bathrooms, smut art and newspaper decor. A fairly interesting place. The crowd seemed down to earth, although fully-clothed. Everyone was doing their own thing. Unsure if any activities happen here; couldn't find an events calendar. Stiff drink prices for textbook craft cocktails. It's not snooty, but $14 for a four ingredient drink, really? I thought that was just bartending. That being said, they seemed to have a decent beer and cider menu. Still $8 for one beer. We came downtown for dinner and drinks, and out of the three places we went, this was the best. I'd love to like this place more, but ... ? read more

Interesting place. Huge, well stocked bar. Nice outdoor seating with misting for cooling. The cocktails were pretty good. One of the few places that makes an authentic Manhattan and the bar tender asks if you want rye or bourbon which rarely happens. Good selection of craft and draft beers. The main reason we went here after dining out was so I could enjoy a cigar. They have a decent size free standing humidor with a limited selection but I was able to find something I hadn't tried before. At $11, it was a little overpriced but it was well humidified and a good smoke. Smoking is only allowed on the patio. I could have brought my own cigar which I won't do at a legitimate cigar bar which this is not. Most of the people here were about the same age as our grown children. At times, it reminded me of the Starwars' cantina scene where all the aliens gathered to socialize. Lots of brightly colored hair, scores of piercings and a plethora of massive tattoos all accompanied by annoying, futuristic, electronic noise that was somehow considered music. We're too old for this kind of place but it was fun nonetheless. By the time we left around 9 pm, the place was starting to fill up. I'm sure it's a great place to hang out if you're in your twenties and enjoy this kind of place. read more

First time here. A local suggested this place, we showed up around 11pm and instantly smiled and felt it was a cool place as the atmosphere was lit up with music and happy people. It was also Karaoke night so that was entertaining! The bar had a huge selection of tequilas and to our surprise a great selection of craft beers! Got our drinks went out to the patio that has plenty of seating options. We could smell then saw the taco truck and had to try it. The chicken taco's were OUTSTANDING! Just the right amount of spice and a little charred flavor mixed with a pico, cheese and guac were perfection! My taco standard is higher now! (this made up for the disappointing experience at Guy's Kitchen near the ball park earlier in the night!) I will be back as I know there is more to discover here! read more

This is one of the most beautiful bars I've seen. The bartender were especially easygoing and friendly, the cocktails were made very well. There's plenty of space, and beautiful lighting in the outdoor courtyard, where they also have a food vendor serving during certain hours. This is a great place to go for a well made drink and good conversations with friendly staff and crowd. This placed saved the night after a first stop at cobra barcode around the corner which was dark, sticky, crowded, uncomfortable, and the bartender that served me was horrible and surly. Oh and check out the ladies bathroom girls! Cool newspaper decorations are on the walls in the stalls. read more

Everything about this place is five stars, except the wait to get a drink. Friends and I stood around in line for ten minutes and it wasn't because of anything the bartenders did wrong. I'd still say it's worth it, even on a crowded Friday night. I had the sage gimlet and it was the best cocktail I've had in Phoenix, and for less than $10. I tried a sip of a friend's smoking berries and it was also good- tastes how it sounds. Another time I'll actually try a Sazerac- I heard rave reviews. They don't seem to have much of a food menu, so don't expect to come here for dinner, but they have a lot of liquid options. The best part of this place is the spacious outdoor patio. Even if it's cool at night, they have good heaters and a great atmosphere. Inside is a little loud but outside works very well for hanging out and actually talking to your friends instead of yelling at them. The crowd the place attracts seemed reasonably varied in age, from early twenties groups to middle aged couples. Time will tell if it leans more one way or the other after it's been open longer, but I don't see why anyone wouldn't want to go here. Its only drawback is that it's not a particularly well kept secret for Friday nights. read more

Stumbled upon this cute, 1920s style cocktail bar and so glad I did! They have a fantastic selection of liquors and cocktails to choose from. The bartenders are knowledgeable and skilled, you can order cocktails off menu and chances are they'll know how to make what you want. Nice outdoor patio too. Dog friendly - in fact the bouncer at the door offered dog biscuits for pups. Music can be a little loud at times though. read more

If you're looking for the closest thing to a beer garden in Phoenix, Sazerac is it! The outdoor vibe is super laid-back, with string lights and spacious seating that make it the perfect spot to enjoy a casual night out. Service has always been super attentive and they even have free water, which is a thoughtful touch, especially in this Arizona heat. There delicious cocktails and munchies are just one element to the bar where you can also buy cigars right at the bar. It adds a unique feel to the whole experience, and pairs well with their excellent drink selection. The overall vibe is relaxed but stylish. The bathrooms are super quirky and definitely stands out! read more
