    Classic Coors Banquet in the fine old squat bottle!

    Hadn't been here in a long time so was time! Sunday morning, 8 big screens, so many different football games running, big crowd, lots of engagement. Today was the Burger Slider plate. Three sliders, side of fries, plenty of dill pickle chips, ketchup and Mexico Lindo Habanero sauce for the fries! Service is solid, Cassie is attentive, cordial, communicative. Everyone on the other side of the bar seems to aim to please! They have Coors Banquet Pool tables are rocking already! No vapers or other nasty smells. Will be coming back here more often.

    great place. Lots of fun. Best bartenders. Very fun. Best chicken wings Bar is very clean and a great place to hang out at.

    The sign my sister donated to the decor.

    It was a dive bar, and the new owners bought it 2 years ago and cleaned it up, and it's a really nice place. Since they got the old rental rate they can offer good food and selection of drinks at some of the lowest prices in the neighborhood. If you want something to drink they will add it to their next restock order. They have live bands at least once a week. They have lots of events and sponsor charity events. If you're in the area and want to support a great local business you should check it out.

    Rolled chicken tacos!! So good!!!

    One of the best neighborhood bars in the area!! Definitely a gem for a local spot! Food is amazing, staff and owners are awesome! Atmosphere is so much fun! If you haven't been by, give it a try!

    This was my second "flight" with Carry On and my first flight during the Carry On x Chilte collab…read more The interior of the space is uniquely decorated and truly moves you to an era of fun flights. I highly recommend dressing to the theme and embracing the experience. The attendants and servers are quick to assist - however, the space itself is quite noisy so bear with the team. Each collab is unique so if you see a "flight" that interests you, jump on their newsletter to get the registration link as soon as it launches.

    Carry On was a great experience for our bachelorette party (or any sort of special occasion,…read morereally)! We had a 7:30pm flight to Mexico City and arrived about 10 minutes early which ended up being perfect because there was already a line forming outside. You really feel the 70s vibes from the moment you step onto the "airplane". The team did an amazing job with the ambiance and you can tell a lot of thought was put into every aspect of the space. It's such a fun immersive experience. Server and bartenders were friendly and fun, and the vibes all around were just super happy. I loved the rolling martini cart that came around! The only reason I'm knocking a star is because when we booked (a party larger than 5) I emailed with the team there for our reservation. They mentioned the option to upgrade the reservation to a $100/person meal option which I declined. After we were seated small bites were passed around the plane. We noticed every table received it, so I truly thought it was part of the standard experience. It wasn't until the 3rd round of small bites went around that I realized we will probably be charged for the full service experience (which we were). Because this was a new experience for us, my suggestion would be to confirm the experiences with our table prior to passing around offerings. We aren't familiar with what to expect, so we didn't know it wasn't standard until it was too late. Otherwise, we had a great experience!

The bartenders are SUPER nice. The happy hour deals are amazing. Sometimes there's a food truck. We got sliders that night and they were so good. Nice, big TVs to watch a game or in this case, find a new Netflix show to binge. Loved that they displayed local artists' works on their walls! And they have a lot of fun, themed nights like trivia or drag trivia! Also, super dog friendly with a patio out back. Definitely a fan! Cannot wait to keep returning!

    What an underrated bar! Easily my favorite bar in phoenix. I'm shocked this doesn't have way more…read morehype. If I lived in phoenix, I'd be a regular for sure They opened during Covid and are relatively new but they got all their cocktail drinks on lock. Every drink we've had has been amazing! My favorite is the lavender fog and the mulled wine (which is only available in November) The service is awesome and the bartenders are so chill and down to earth. This bar also has live music on saturdays, trivia's and game nights. In fact, at every table, they have a deck of cards against humanity. At the entrance they also have a variety of other games like connect four, jenga and such. Lavender fog: great balance of lavender and earl grey tea! The foam is the best creamy touch to the drink. I feel in a relaxed daze when I have this drink. I think it's the most special one here. It was even featured on a magazine! Pour favor: I don't like mezcal but this was nice. The mango puree was prominent which I loved and was well complimented with sour and spice. This drink style is a little more commonly found in other bars too which is probably because it's popular! Indoor smoking: smoky, cool and well done twist in the old fashioned. They prepare it in such a cool way with the smoking process and the delivery is great. SMOOTH old fashion. It was alcohol forward but I didn't feel any burn that I normally get from any common old fashion. It also had the best citrus aftertaste The sunny slope sour: great if you love whiskey sour. I loved this drink the pear and peach made the whiskey taste less harsh. One of the better renditions of whiskey sours I've had My brightside. Bitter but works so well with watermelon! Refreshing, balanced and delicious. I typically don't love Negronis but I loved this rendition. The nanny: mezcal espresso martini that was also well done. You can also taste raspberry and chocolate every sip Mulled wine: hot wine with spices that I argue was better than the mulled wines I've had in Europe. All the spices and aromas were so complex yet cozy for a chilly night! The bartenders treat their regulars well and seem to really have a great community here. With offers for movie nights, paint and sip, jack box games, wine club, etc
