Vintage books- so beautiful
Shay K.

Super cute inside w neon signs, a stage for music, back patio for drinks and food. I was there cuz Melrose Vintage Market was inside, in a wrap around design w many cute booths displaying jewelry, signs, dishes, jackets, books, record albums, clothes. So many cute things, and I saw many things reminding me of earlier. Especially the cute perfume bottles, watches..I took a few pics, Enjoy!

Great space. I've visited Duce after work for fun and games. And I've attended several weekend shows. Recently, I attended the Melrose Vintage Market with a good friend and we spent an hour or so enjoying a cocktail as we walked around looking at the unique offerings of each vendor. They sell can & bottled beer. The cocktails are made from organic products, poured into a mason jar, and garnished. There is valet parking. If that's full, street and metered parking is available. Accessible entrance

I wandered in here on a Sunday afternoon as I heard about the Melrose Vintage Market happening here and so glad I made it in! What a cool spot! This is a neat indoor/outdoor space in the Warehouse District of DTPHX! It reminds me of places I would go to in Brooklyn but add cactus and cowboy boots! Parking is always a disaster around here (like NYC) and I even saw lots saying $25 for event parking. There was a game going on, so people were paying those prices. Not me, you will find me dodging incredulous parking fees and will also at the same time get my steps in, a win-win situation. But when it's 115F outside, just know you're gonna be hot getting your steps in. Admission into the vintage market was $5 and you can bring your whole crew. I don't like drinking when it's hot outside as it dehydrates you even more, so I checked out one of their cool bars and got a Topo Chico. I was hungry after indoor climbing at my gym so I checked out their brunch offerings. There's another bar where the music stage is and the nice bartenders walked me to the brunch ordering area. I am in the closet about this but I love gravy and biscuits, a true Southern treat but not great for you lol. I ordered this dish and it was delicious. Biscuits and gravy are so filling and I could only finish half of it. Took the rest home. Lots of cool vintage wares here and I saw some really unique items like Gumby products which was big in my childhood. Lots of T shirts, jeans, jewelry, kitchenware for sell. My favorite part of visiting was discovering the band Twice Baked Band here. They played music that I love, classic rock/British flair. One of the lead guitarist also came up to talk to me, Adam, and he even invited me to more shows (and he's a former New Yorker, born in Manhattan)! Overall, such a lovely Sunday afternoon and will definitely come back again. But, I will need to figure out another way to get here. Deducted one star for parking wores. Maybe I'll fly my magic carpet in!

I checked out The Duce on a Friday evening for a Woodstock event. I took an Uber so I can't comment on the parking situation. Ambiance (5/5): This is one of the things that I liked most about this sprawling bar and restaurant. As you walk in, you'll see a retro bus that you can go in, and outdoor bar, and a rooftop (with its own bar as well). Which is a fun place to hang out when the weather cooperates. I spent most of my time indoors on this visit. The interior has several bars, stages, and plenty of seating. This includes picnic table-style seating, bar stool seating, and a few comfortable couches. I loved the aesthetic, overall. Even though I was there for a special event, I would definitely come on a regular night, too. Service (4/5): I ordered from the same bar the entire night. Friendly and efficient service. My only pet peeve? They don't give you an itemized receipt, nor do they give you a customer receipt, unless you ask. I hate when bars do this. Food (N/A): While they do have several food areas, including dessert, I had dinner prior. Next time around. Drinks (4/5): The Duce specializes in cocktails served in mason jars with fresh fruit and garnishes. They have a large menu with cocktails broken down by spirits including vodka, gin, rum, tequila, and whiskey. I tried three different cocktails and they were all delicious. Their most popular one is the strawberry limeade (vodka based). Think of a spiked drink from Sonic and that is what it tasted like (I may have done that back in the day ;)). The drinks aren't cheap but they're well-made. The Woodstock Summer of Love event was an awesome time which I would put on your list if they do it again. Regardless, I would return any day of the week, special event or not.

Love this venue space! Went for the Melrose Vintage Market and it was amazing! The vibe of the space is great! Not to mention the food was amazing too. Will definitely be coming back to check out more events here!

I went to the Duce for the Melrose Vintage Market they have every month. They have complimentary valet parking and it's $5 per group to get in. What a super cool vibe at this spot. There were many different vendors from handmade goods to vintage clothes and bags and everything in between. I didn't try and food or drink but there were some good looking selections! I guess they also have a band playing later but when I went there was a DJ spinning 80s tunes. Apparently in the winter the market moves outside. Super cute stuff!! Is I'll definitely be back!!

I had an absolute amazing night for the pride night. The space was accommodating for the amount of people. The bathrooms were clean. Love that there is street parking so I am able to enjoy the area around as well.

That's them... - A woman holding a microphone is speaking at a venue with a DJ working on a laptop behind her and a large screen showing a group photo.

Barely one star as the Karaoke Duo ruined it. The DJ and women were rude and terible. Food and drinks were great, but the Karaoke was aweful...they refused to let us sing the songs we requested...we can't find them...then proceeded to sing their own songs. Apparently two of the biggest country hits were not on the internet...We'll never return. I would not recommend them for any outing.

Came to The Duce for their Urban Cowboy event in June and omg it was so much fun! The Duce is a unique, fun space and the ambiance is great for a night out. Love that it's an open concept, has both indoor and outdoor areas, and doesn't feel too congested even when there is a lot of people. The food we got was delicious! We tried the fried Mac and cheese sampler bites as well as their sliders. They offer a ton of different drinks and I was able to get a yummy mocktail. Service was great and everyone was friendly and inviting. I can't wait to go back for the next Urban Cowboy event because it was so unique and fun I'll definitely return!

We had a great time at The Duce. Parking was kind of difficult, so we had to do a little walking. It is like a big warehouse with games (giant connect 4, table hockey) a boxing ring, Cornhole, hula hoops, etc. It's a fun atmosphere with a lot of places to take fun photos. The food was fine, and really reasonably priced. There are separate kitchen and bar counters, so you have to go here, then there. Not a fan of that. All in all it was a fun night. Don't forget to use the free photo booth!

Drinks alone were so refreshing withe all the fresh fruit. Beautiful presentation by bartender. Food coming out looked good as well. Creative ways to display food. We will definitely be back to try them.

This place is located near the Footprint Center at the NE corner of Central Ave and Lincoln St. Parking is an issue here. They do have a small valet lot but it gets packed and it takes time to squeeze cars in and out. The alternative is street or garage parking if you can find it. The setup and decor are cool and the food overall is pretty good with some variety. They had both regular and vegetarian meatball slides. I did not have drink but they had quite a few options (see photo). We were there for a Christmas party and apparently they only do parties. Better location and food than where the previous party was held.

Yes

Do they have a dog friendly patio?

If my friend isn't 21+ but they're with me can they still stay after 9pm?

I don't think so

Do you have to be 21?

It's family friendly but after 9pm all kids need to be accompanied by an adult

Yes - super jumping after work!

Hey anyone know the prices on cocktails or any of the beers?

The prices vary everything that they use is organic so the are a little bit more pricey than typical bar but so worth it

We stopped by Wren & Wolf to collect our boarding passes and sat down to relax in the lounge until we got closer to boarding time. We then walked around the building to the dimly lit entrance and waited behind the ropes. At exactly the boarding time, the captain opened the doors and greeted us. We walked by the check-in area, and our tickets were checked. The stewardesses then gave us a pair of wings. This flight was to Tokyo and the travel warning mentioned kaiju activities. Glancing into the seating area it was shaped like a luxury plane with windows and ample space to move around. At the back of the plane were seats wrapping around and the cabin was very beautifully decorated. Towards the front of the aircraft, there was a beautiful bar. The photos in the advertisements are not photoshopped the place is amazing. The stewardesses escorted us to our seats and they were very comfortable. Depending on group size you either get a small table for two or for 4. This reminded us of the movie Soul Plane lol. Kiki and Madie were our stewardesses on the flight and started us with a complimentary drink and some peanuts. As we were taking off you could see the plane taking off through the windows and you could feel vibrations on the floor as if the plane was rolling. Then once in the air they played a large selection of music. Keep an eye out the windows because you will see strange things like we spotted King Kong and then while in flight we saw Ghidorah fly by and I think I got a glimpse of Mothra, but was not sure. Kiki and Madie were amazing they kept the drinks flowing and we watched the captain make drinks because he was also the bartender. We then ran into turbulence and into a storm and spotted Godzilla, Mechagodzilla, and Ghidorah amidst the dark clouds and lightning. Then at this time the martini carts came around serving handcrafted martinis at your table side. After we got out of the dark clouds there was a tasty cookie and more drinks. The service was amazing. Kiki and Madie were Rockstars and were very efficient at their jobs. They provided light conversation and were knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations. When we got close to Tokyo and were ready to land there was a last call and we could see Tokyo from the windows as we did our final approach. The whole experience was well worth it and each flight is different. We spoke to some other passengers who have been on other flights and they can't get enough of it. The captain's quarters section in the front of the plane served some The flight time was 90 minutes and there is a bathroom on the plane. There is a parking garage in the same building so you don't have to walk far. Thank you, Captain, and thank you Kiki and Madie, for this amazing evening.

Their advertised menu was very nice and I'm not sure if they're still not serving food due to construction remodeling. Initially the bill came with a 10% discount for the trouble, then another staff member said it was comped. Thank you so much, very good and reasonable. The waiter was super cool and knowledge so I definitely don't blame them, it was an overall sorted experience. Lastly, please beware the "Rose Garden" is not just an aesthetic theme, it's heavily rose scented, like your nana's floral lotion. I guess many people don't notice cause I can't find mention of this but it gave me a major headache. There should definitely be a warning for this especially since many people don't like the whole perfume isle thing and some are just allergic. I wanted to like it a lot but it was just off this time.

The restaurant itself is hidden inside another called Coabana, but there is a door clearly labeled Cocktails to get to it. Through the door the hustle and bustle of the busy restaurant outside gives way to a cocktail bar that feels much more intimate, with dark lighting and quieter music than is playing outside. It was perfect to converse and enjoy drinks with friends! This time we went with some friends, and each of us could not stop talking about how good everything was! We started with In To The Blue shots for the table, which were so good we wished we had sipped them. Then we ordered our first round of drinks and food. We shared a plate of nachos and they had the perfect balance of toppings and chips, then my partner and I ordered some tacos and a Cubano Sammie. The sandwich was delicious, much better than the average Cubano I've come across in Phoenix. The tacos were also great, and $11 for 3 was a steal! Our friends also got tacos, which they enjoyed. My partner ordered Cupid's Dagger and the Insomniac to drink, and she loved both of them! Cupid's Dagger was also served with a bubble of smoke and it was on a little silver tray, which was cool. I ordered the Son of a Peach and Femme Fatale, and they were both delicious. The Femme Fatale was also served inside of a wooden cake tray filled with smoke, which was a very cool experience and added to the flavor of the drink. All in all this is not just a restaurant, but an experience. And if you have some money to go out in downtown Phoenix, I would say this experience is not one to miss!

It felt like a place that may be a bit of a victim of its own success--popularity has grown, but delivery hasn't fully kept pace. Part of the appeal here is the permanent taco truck outside, which I know from past visits is excellent, and I love the truck's outspoken, unapologetic support for immigrants. That said, the cocktail itself was excellent. I was specifically looking for a coffee-based drink before heading to another event, and the Cambures al Estilo Foster delivered on flavor. It was tiny, though--served in a small stemmed glass, gone in a few sips. It did the job, but some may find the portion underwhelming for the price. No major complaints, but nothing pulling me back either. I'm adding a fourth star on a bit of a hunch--I'd like to think they can dial it back in if I return.
