    This place is SO COOL! First time going here and it was for the Forbes 30u30 event. I had no idea what this place was, but it's huge! There are several bars and food stands inside, each with different drinks and food. The place is like a maze in that you can walk through it within 10 minutes. There is a pool, bathrooms, and a karaoke room. Lots of seating. When it gets really busy it can feel a bit clustered in the walkways, but that's with any bar. There is a dance floor with a DJ The decorations were really cool too. Good vibes!

    I absolutely love the vibes at Pemberton. It's such a fun place to walk through, with cool art and pop-up bars, each with its own unique theme. It really feels like you could spend your whole night here since there's so much to explore and do. It's almost maze-like, but still easy to navigate. As a visitor, this is definitely one of my top spots!

    the new and improved Pemberton! For those who went here before the renovations, I can say the new one is definitely worth checking out. The space feels so much bigger than it really is with a different vibe around every corner. There's something for everyone here. The art installations keep you super entertained with a variety of drink and food options throughout. A lot of fun seating options and perfect place to walk around and explore. If you only want to make one stop on your night out, this is the place to be.

    I had heard The Pemberton was a really cool bar in downtown Phoenix and I have been wanting to check it out for a while, last night I went out with a friend, fellow Yelper Scarlett M, and new elite Kelsey to celebrate Scarlett's birthday-- she had already been to Pemberton and said she loved it, she and I tend to like the same things. And I did more than like it, I loved it as well. The Pemberton has all the things I like in social settings and in general, it had delicious cocktails, great music for dancing, art, and an overall great time for exploring, plus chill vibes. I loved how there were different bar areas with their own unique names, different drinks and food items and they also had a different feeling in each area, which was really fun. The place is huge and walking around exploring it while carrying a cocktail and enjoying some dancing music was the best time . This place also is an Instagram dream, or if you enjoy taking cool photos for Yelp. I loved all the various art murals/ installations and seating areas where you could hang out and chill. I'll definitely be going back, Next time I plan to try out some of the food options, we had already been to dinner so I wasn't hungry, however I saw them grilling up some tasty looking steak for tacos and it looked amazing. Until next time, cheers!

    I saw this place on tik tok and had to check it out. It def lived up to the expectation. There were so many different places you could grab food and things to do there. I ended there on a karaoke night and It was thoroughly enjoyable. The place is so beautiful and lights up at night. The service was okay at the bar I went to, hopefully others are better.

    Great outdoor venue in downtown Phoenix. Unique art-filled bar. All decorated for Christmas. Several bars to choose from. I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area.

    Just got back from this fantastic experience The Pemberton. This is a place you need to visit and put on your list of places to check out ! The vibe is awesome--there are 13 different bar areas ranging from a pool, to a Japanese garden, beer gardens, western farm to table theme and more. Each bar had its own specialty and there if food to go with. Great music, great lighting and so much to see . The cosmos I had were delicious. Definitely a great place for a fun night out. I'm excited to go back!

    This is such a cool place! I went here for the first time for their NYE party - Great Gatsby theme, and it did not disappoint. There were quite a bit of people, but the venue is huge and there's a bunch of different areas for people to wander. I loved all of the random art everywhere, the themed sections to hang out in, and the live music. There's a lot of intentional photo opportunities, which is really fun and even a little Photo Booth ($8). I would love to come here during the day so I can get more time to wander and really appreciate all the quirky art.

    This place is always a time regardless of when you go. Went to the Ibiza pool party and had a fun time. I will say the drinks by the pool are pretty awful, the other bars were better. I love how cute this place is decorated, it makes for a super aesthetic and vibey time. Lots of places to take cute pics

    Amazing place! Staff is super nice. It's huge with tons of places to explore and a pool. The art is beautiful, and every detail of the place is so thoughtful. In the winter, it's covered with grass to play corn hole. They have drag shows on Saturday nights. Every drink I tried from the various bar stands was excellent. Definitely a must-see. As a tourist, it beats Scottsdale to me.

    A true hidden gem! This place is filled with stunning art and beautiful decorations at every turn. Each space is full of character and unique features. Huge thanks to Pemberton for letting me host the launch party for my new dating app, ResuMate, it was a huge success! The snake table was perfect for our speed dating event. The food is delicious, the drinks are refreshing, and the vibe is perfect for hosting events, a date night, or just a fun night out. Highly recommend!

    I recently got a chance to check this place out after seeing it all over my instagram feed. It does not disappoint in person.. the art from the second you walk in is amazing. Everywhere you look there is something fantastic catching your eye. We were in the Paris Park area .. beautiful set up with plenty of seating for our group of 10. I had the mango & strawberry margaritas - both on the happy hour menu. Both were refreshing and delicious. Next time I'm skipping lunch so I can try the food.. the fries I stole off my friend were so yummy! Tatum was our waitress and she was great, checked on us often, sweet & friendly, took great pics of our group and handled our separate checks like a pro!! They have four themed bars each with its own food &drink menus and seating areas to match the theme. The Día de Los Muertos alter at night was beautiful.. definitely go check it out. I will definitely be back to see everything I missed on my first visit and I'm bringing everyone. Follow them on instagram if you're not already.

    So big it needs a map!

    I absolutely love this place, the inner artist in me feels fully alive when I am here. The space was renovated and reopened recently and I'm so glad to have the opportunity to explore this really cool spot. You should check it out too! This place is like an outdoor art museum, with 4 bars, music spinning, lots of different nooks and crannies to explore and you could literally play here all day! There is also an outdoor pool area too! I came out here a few weeks ago to scout out a good location for a happy hour meet up and ended up staying for close to 3 hours wandering around like a space cadet! There is just so much artwork here and honestly I can tell you this is one of my fave places here in the Valley! I haven't had any of their food but have had their Mexican-like slushie a few times and it's nice and refreshing on a nice sunny day, with a little kick! I deducted one star because the manager, Brianna, that I was emailing with set us up in the Paris Park area, but unfortunately, it was not shaded at all and the sun beamed on the spot right around 5pm - 6pm, despite her telling me so. She also was kind of curt in her emails when I asked if I could bring a birthday cake and she said OK as long as we didn't have to store or cut it. But, I will say, our waitress, Tatum, was awesome! She took great care of us and despite us being a party of 10, she got us all squared away. We all had a great time and we also got to celebrate some May birthdays together! Great spot to come solo, on dates, with friends, and organize events! Just wish Brianna was bit more cheery and knew the layout of The Pemberton better! I will definitely be back!

    I believe most of the Pemberton (food stalls) are accessible but the house where there are a few shops I'm not sure

    There is a French wine truck it has moisellphx they have bread cheese plate a few other things....

    Do any of the food trucks have vegan options?

    Came here to ask the same thing...Does anyone know if there are any vegan options?

    They have a bunch of seating areas with shade , and of course the awesome beer and cocktail selections they have around help a lot.

    Yes. Open outdoor seating and a lot of room for children to run and scream. 😉

Main level/Upstairs vibe is well-lit with a true cantina bar feel. High-top tables, seats at the bar & happy hour from 4-7 pm make it ideal for some $7 drinks!!. The collection of Tequilas is GREAT. Many of which do not contain additives. I won't lie, I thought I was a big fan until I realized I didn't recognize a lot of the tequilas they had on hand. Downstairs is a whole different vibe. Custom craft cocktails, dim lighting with artwork, and more make it feel like an upscale NYC spot in your basement. I did 2 of my favorites, Paloma De Guayaba with the custom block name etched and the Baya Nueva. While in the Cantina, I had to order my friend the Basura (trash), but that wasn't the case... then again, it is served in a plastic bag, and is definitely a throwback to my early 20's of gettin' lit!!!!

It was busy, but not packed, which made the service stand out more than it should have. I had to ask for water twice, never got a refill, and overall felt largely ignored--minimal eye contact, no real warmth, just an impersonal feel that didn't match the space. 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.

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!
