    Ahi tuna tostadas and Korean style chicken wings
    Zachary G.

    I stay at the DoubleTree (the hotel in which this restaurant is located) fairly regularly, but only recently tried this restaurant for the first time. I tend to sleep in, so breakfast isn't usually on my agenda. And for dinners, I usually just eat off-property. However, I finally decided to give the dinner menu, served in the hotel's atrium, a try. And I was blown away. While service was about average for a hotel restaurant, the expansive food and beverage menu made for an incredible experience. From chimichurri fish to burgers to ahi tuna tostadas, there is something for everyone on this menu, with most items being fairly reasonably priced for what they offer (especially if you are a Hilton Diamond or Gold member, since your daily food and beverage credit applies here). I only have two small complaints: 1) it can be hard to flag down wait staff at times and 2) the chocolate torte is quite small (appears to be only half of a pastry), and I imagine other desserts have the same issue. That being said, not only is the food here fresh and flavorful for where its located (the middle of a desert), but it's one of the better meals I've had in Arizona, no doubt!

    Tony, the server, is amazing. So kind, and attentive. And just a good person. The other guy was not attentive, felt like he ignored guests, but Tony absolutely made up for his co worker. The food was hit and miss. The andouille sausage pasta dish was awful. The wings were amazing, fries were good. Cesar salad tasted like it had been hanging out for hours, but was still alright. Overall I guess it was good and just my fault for thinking an andouille sausage mixed with pumpkin flavor would be a good combo to order lol

    We had Easter brunch at the Hilton. It was wonderful. Kudos to the Chef Ryan. Jaime is an excellent waiter.

    The service was amazing and if it wasn't my last day at the Doubletree I would have easily went back.

Anytime you're dealing with a speakeasy, you feel like a VIP, and that's how we felt that evening. What a great way to close out the night, as the vibe and decor are what I'm all about. Do plan ahead with reservations. Our Server from FA & Bartender here hooked it up for us with a special toast and celebration for our anniversary!! VIP Treatment with the 70's to 2000's vibe.

The chicken tenders were fire!!! What is lacking on this occasion was service. The server that we had was so unattentative. I have never been in a cocktail lounge in my life and had to beg for drinks. Our server would wait until every drinks was made for all of her tables before bringing out drinks. It was ridiculous. She was nice but seemed high. I ended up only having 2 drinks. We would have ordered more but they have 90min max seating and we didn't event get drinks for the first 30min. No exaggeration. Also one of my drinks I had to send back. My apple martini tasted like soap. It was like they did clean the glass after giving a soap bath. No bueno. So they need to get their service to match the vibe of a true cocktails lounge. Yes it is a 70s vibe but doesn't mean the lackadaisical style service. I would come back and try again. The music, the atmosphere and the food was good. They gotta get these cocktails together and service. We ended up walking to nearby competitors and that was money lost for DDG.

But a friend wanted to meet for food around the area and this spit popped up on Yelp. It didn't disappoint! I was skeptical at first as having a sign posted at the sidewalk and a bouncer outside the stairs going down, was a sheer sign that this isn't such a secret and speakeasy-like spot. But I was proven wrong very quickly. Dre who was the bouncer and I'd much rather call Drayden, is young but friendly. The hall leading down to the entrance was well decorated. It's hard to miss the door when you can hear people on the other side :). Hostess was nice. Alex immediately introduced himself from behind the bar as I sat down, and Meagan was the main bartender this night. They were both a wealth of knowledge when it came to cocktails. I really wasn't expecting too much but the two drinks I ordered were a solid 5/5. I had the silk bandit and the untold legacy. I like sweet drinks this way. It wasn't too sweet. All the flavors were well balanced and well thought out. They also had a girl singing tonight and she was amazing!!! Thanks for a nice relaxing night. Service was a 5/5 and I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area.

Apparently it is the house band. And the owner is a singer. My husband got the filet mignon and I got the braised short ribs. We also got the chocolate cake and the carrot cake. The appetizer we ordered was the brussels sprouts. The food was exceptional! Everything tasted so fresh and was perfectly done. The portion sizes for the main course was perfect, the appetizers are very large, so you can definitely share them, And the dessert was huge. Now getting to the band and the atmosphere. The atmosphere feels like family and is so warm and welcoming. And the band was absolutely phenomenal! They did not have a set list and took requests so literally everything that they played was given to them by the audience. The band also has a steel guitar player who is in the steel guitar Hall of Fame! He was SO EPIC!! If you're looking for dinner and a show in a super fun place with exceptional food, look no further!! Come early and stay till they close! And bring all your friends!

The most recent was…read moreon a Thursday night around 10:30 p.m. This speakeasy is located on Mill Ave., the center of Tempe's party scene. Because of its location, parking isn't easy. If you're looking for free parking, you're going to have a long walk. Outside of that, you'll have to pay for parking in a garage or metered street parking. Ambiance (4/5): Hint hint. Idle Hands is located inside Devil's Hideaway. A true speakeasy shouldn't have signage outside indicating its location. Unfortunately, there's a sign for Idle Hands outside of Devil's Hideaway which takes away the sense of mystery and intrigue that a true speakeasy provides. Outside of this hiccup, it's a cool speakeasy. It's intimate, with 10 or so seats at the bar and about 10 seats in booths facing the bar. There's a projector screen behind the bar that had mystical motion graphics the first time I stopped by (thinking wizards) and Halloween motion graphics the second time (with it being a day before the holiday). There were some other Halloween decorations up. The only area of improvement? The music often doesn't match the vibe. A lot of the music they were playing on my last visit was Irish music that would be fitting for a pub. Service (4/5): I had the same bartender each time. He knows how to make a good drink and is pretty efficient. When you close out, he only gives you the merchant copy. Which is a pet peeve of mine. Let me get that customer copy too. But overall, a good experience. Especially at a college bar. Food (N/A): I've only had drinks both times. Idle Hands actually doesn't have food, but Devil's Hideaway does. And you're allowed to bring food from there into the speakeasy. Drinks (4.5/5): It's pretty surprising to see a speakeasy on a college campus. I was impressed with the creativity of the menu, both in terms of the ingredients used and the fusion of flavors. I've had a different cocktail each time, and they've all been great. My favorite was one served in a box filled with smoke. Talk about a cool presentation! The hallmarks of a solid speakeasy are elevated cocktails, nice ambiance (dimly lit), an intimate space, and mystery/intrigue. While the intrigue is lacking at Idle Hands, and the music can be improved, they hit it out of the park in the other areas. One of my favorite speakeasies I've been to in Phoenix (and surrounding areas). I am, after all, the self-appointed king of speakeasies. The king gives his stamp of approval.

While I don't recall ordering food there, we had ordered drinks on several occasions. We also saw the food being brought out for others, not from our group, on several occasions. The service, the staff, and the drinks were all great! The 1912 Lounge can provide a cold beer, some handcrafted cocktails, or a variety of dishes, from appetizers and salads to burgers and other large entrees, and desserts. They have bold wines and plenty of domestic and imported beer options. The atmosphere comes across as friendly and cozy. The signature cocktail that was the biggest hit with our group was the Blueberry Gin Fizz with Empress gin, blueberry, citrus, and a soda float. The 1912 Lobby Bar and Lounge serves food until 10 PM on weekdays and until 11 PM on weekends. It is open until 11 PM from Sunday through Thursday and until Midnight on Friday and Saturday. You can find their food menu at https://www.sanmarcosresort.com/pdfs/1912-menu-10-1-25.pdf. The drink menu is available at https://www.sanmarcosresort.com/pdfs/1912-beverages-2024.pdf. They also offer live music from local musicians every Friday and Saturday night from 5:30 to 8:30 PM. On Mondays, they have Monday Night Football deals, including $4 draft beer and food specials from 5 PM to close. On Tuesdays, they have Fajitas and Margaritas Night with $4 Blue Margaritas from 5 PM to close. Fridays are Fish Fry Fridays for only $15 from 5 PM to close. You can follow @sanmarcosresort on Instagram for more specials and events. I'll be back in a few months for another stay and conference at this hotel, so I expect to be back at the 1912 Lounge then. Looking forward to it!
