    The young lady behind the bar was super friendly. I had my Dive Bar shirt on for the Swizzle Inn...cool, laid back local "dive bar" vibe! Loved it!

    Fun hidden gem in central Phoenix, there's lots of regulars that come through and it seems like a nice community of people. The drinks are reasonably priced and the bartenders do a great job taking orders. The vibes are chill, it's a very low key spot and now that I think about it, I'm not sure if they serve food or snacks. I feel like this is a good final spot for a night as they're open later than most bars in this area.

    Love this spot!! Friendly staff and a good local scene. My friends from Phoenix re recommended it to me and I've gone a few times now.

    Greatest dive bar in Phoenix! We love everything about it and the bartenders are all awesome. You won't find a better neighborhood bar to hangout at where everyone is always welcome. The service is great but not hand and foot. Don't be rude and be respectful to everyone around you. The ambiance is old school and don't miss the holiday lights!

    Just chilling with bestie

    Ask the Community - Swizzle Inn

    Based off the original Swizzle Inn in Bermuda!?? Do they make Swizzles?!?

    They are not like the bar in Bermuda and do not have signature drinks

    I heard a rumor they were moving - is it true!?

    Yes, they are moving. I don't have details, such as whether the rent went up or the whole plaza will be replaced, but neither would be a surprise as the neighborhood is changing. I will update if I hear more.

    The Swizz is one of the best little bars in town, especially after couple of cocktails!

    Friends and I were killing time before our flights - I'm actually sad we didn't discover this place…read moreearlier for a full meal! As it was, we grabbed a few drinks and a snack. Really good drinks and there are some really unique ones - the Kyoto in Winter came in a very cute teacup, for example! There's a decent mocktail selection, which I appreciated as the DD. We really loved the Knotty Boyz (Garlic Parmesan) - if we hadn't eaten recently we might've ordered more to share!

    I have been thinking about this place since I dined here for the first time…read more Fast-paced service and great pizza slices are $3 on happy hour. I tried the Korean BBQ pizza which was really good. They had a special pizza...The Baked Potato. So happy they offer slices to try. This was pretty tastey with the seasoned potatoes on it. I particularly appreciated that they did not over potato the slice lol. The best part about the pizza in general is that the crust is light and soft. I usually prefer heavy cheese on my pizza but their was just right. I tried the Son of a B*t@# I'm In cocktail that is on happy hour for $10. The simple yet clean ingredients caught my eye...gin, aperol, elderflower, lime l, and honey made for a very refreshing drink. Also, I've been on a kick to enjoy cocktails with no ice, so this was perfect.

    This is a 5 star experience IF you go in with the right expectations and understanding of the…read moreestablishment. This is a DIVE BAR with local regulars and a vibe that is protected by them. The regulars are Phoenicians who have been coming here for years, and in my opinion, it's one of the few remaining places that hasn't been overrun/changed by the massive population influx in Phoenix. Therefore, the regular patrons have a deep respect and love for this establishment and its people. In other words, don't F with the vibe. Enjoy yourself, but seriously be mindful of the environment. I say this because the staff will swiftly let you know with a verbal reprimand or even just by kicking you out. For example, they don't do takeout. Do not ask. And when they tell you no, do not ask again. That being said, do not expect white glove, highly attentive service. The service is good enough, and that's all that matters. It's a busy establishment and yes you will wait a bit for your food. AGAIN, when you understand the expectations, this can be a fun and highly enjoyable experience, but you have to understand where you are and what it is. Regarding the food, incredible. I stick with the wine burger and the wings with the secret sauce. Absolutely amazing food and the prices are stupid cheap. I'm completely serious when I say this is easily one of the best burgers in Phoenix. The burger is done right, and I really appreciate it. The wine burger kind of melts in your mouth and the portions are huge. Be nice, be observant, tip heavy, temper your service/timing expectations, and you'll enjoy a true local Phoenix spot. It is absolutely worth it.

    Beware not all races are welcomed here. I walked in to have lunch with my dad and was not serviced…read more We stood there waiting to be greeted and seated and people kept walking by us. Not acknowledging us my dad walks up to the bar. The lady yells just sit. Just sit wherever. So we sit down. The next person walks in and they do not look like us. They are immediately greeted and asked how they are doing today. At that moment, I realized we were not welcomed and we walked out. This is a bar with limited lighting and loud music. Unfortunate that we didnt get to try your yummy looking burgers but I did not feel safe in this establishment.
