I live the atmosphere of this colorful place. There is a separate lounge area that has colorful star lanterns and comfy sofas, arched windows and seating that faces out so you can watch people as the walk around downtown. They have a pretty nice cocktail and coffee menu and the drinks are not terribly priced. I had a mango mezcal drink, and it was yummy. Every time we have come here, the place has been pretty full, so it appears that the locals really like this bar, too!

After standing around wondering if they'd forgotten us, I wandered over to the other side of the bar and found our bartender casually making my old fashioned like she had all day. Got that one, walked back, then waited some more for the Dr Pepper to show up. By the time both drinks finally arrived, we were done eating. At that point the drinks weren't really "drinks" anymore, they were more like proof of purchase. A nice reminder that yes, I did in fact pay for those. The food itself was pretty forgettable, and beer's not really my thing anyway, so this place had a lot riding on the service and vibe. Unfortunately that's where it fell short too. Maybe a sign, maybe a "hey we'll bring these over" from staff. Or even a "hey we'll bring your drinks before you're done and ready to leave." Something. Anything.

Hospitality matters to me just as much as what's on the plate because great restaurants don't just serve meals; they create memories. Unfortunately, Shift became one I'll never forget for the wrong reasons. Our day couldn't have been further from what the staff assumed. We spent the morning hiking, went back to rest, explored a local bookstore, grabbed ice cream, and walked to our dinner reservation. Not one alcoholic drink had been consumed by anyone in our group the entire day. Not one. We also had a child with us. The only conversation we had with the host before being seated was asking whether it was okay that we had arrived about twenty minutes early for our reservation. We were polite, excited, and looking forward to dinner. Then my husband ordered a beer. The waitress immediately refused because she claimed the hostess believed my husbands speech and mannerisms meant he was intoxicated. Read that again. A guest who had consumed zero alcohol all day was judged to be intoxicated. I understand the responsibility restaurants have. If someone is genuinely impaired, absolutely don't serve them. Every responsible restaurant should protect its guests and its liquor license. But there is an equally important responsibility that seems to have been forgotten: making sure your judgment is actually right before labeling someone. There was no bar crawl. No cocktails beforehand. No wine tasting. No brewery stop. No hidden drinks. There wasn't even one drink. We left feeling embarrassed, confused, and honestly caught off guard. Not because a beer was refused, but because a person was reduced to an assumption based solely on how they naturally presented themselves. Here's what makes the experience even harder to understand. After leaving Shift, we walked to Atria, where we remained for approximately two hours. We talked, enjoyed ourselves, and spent the evening there without issue. If someone in our party had truly been intoxicated wouldn't that have been obvious there as well? It wasn't. Food can be good. Cocktails can be creative. Service can be polished. None of that matters if hospitality disappears the moment someone doesn't fit your expectation of what a guest "should" look or sound like. Maybe perhaps because we weren't locals we seemed off ? To anyone considering Shift, especially if you're traveling with someone whose speech, mannerisms, or disability could be misunderstood, know that this was our experience. I hope the restaurant reflects on what happened and asks itself a difficult question: How many guests have we mistaken for being intoxicated when, in reality, they simply communicated differently? Because that's not just a missed beer. That's a missed opportunity to treat someone with dignity. I came to Flagstaff excited to discover one of its most " creative" restaurants. Instead, I left wondering how quickly a restaurant built on hospitality could make a guest feel so unwelcome. Simply , because my husband is a restaurant manager in Las Vegas, who has managed restaurants like Yellowtail, Herbs&Rye, Gjelina, and Edo we left out of respect for the industry. However, we should have got our deposit automatically refunded. Next time, take the time. Take the time to care. If a staff member is under this assumption, management intervene not to just follow said assumption and repeat what she said, but to hold an actual conversation with your guest, to evaluate , to observe, to understand. I promise you, that would change so many things for you.

All the tables are perfect for groups of any size and they even had charging ports (just bring your own cable).

We stopped by The Porch and overall had a pretty good experience. Our server, Sebastian, was awesome -- super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Great service definitely made the visit better! Food-wise, the smash burger was delicious and definitely the highlight. The mac and cheese was also really good and super flavorful. The wings were decent but pretty average compared to the rest of the food. The only thing that missed the mark a bit were the sweet potato fries. They were pretty burnt and ended up being really hard. Still technically edible, but not great. One other small note was the music. The playlist felt a little all over the place -- jumping from country to sad alternative and different vibes that didn't really match the atmosphere of the restaurant. Not a huge deal, but a more consistent playlist would definitely improve the vibe. Overall though, we had a good experience thanks to the service and some really solid food items. I'd come back for the burger and mac and cheese! read more

Went to lunch yesterday with my husband. We both had the Hot Shot Burger. It was delicious! A little messy, but delicious! The burger, while not a thick burger was cooked perfectly. It had a nice crispy char on the edges and still a light pink in the middle. Perfect! I had the sweet potato fries and the hubs had regular fries. Both were very good. We were seated right away and our food came in a timely manner. Sara our server, was very friendly and did a great job checking up on us to make sure we were happy with our meal and service. The atmosphere was really nice and there is also a nice size bar with a great selection as well as many t.v"s to watch the games. Will definitely be going back. read more
