    I was here for a private event so my experience will likely be different from a regular evening. 1. The place is gorgeous. 2. Drinks were good. The bartender who was friendly and attentive was female, black, and had amazing hair. Loved it. 3. Food was just okay. I would eat before coming.

    We stumbled across this place while visiting AZ, and it turned out to be the perfect spot to link up before or after dinner. The staff were incredibly warm and friendly, and you could tell they were very knowledgeable about the drinks--how they're crafted and the fact that they only use fresh ingredients. The décor is beautiful and elegant, giving the space an upscale vibe. Definitely a bar to put on your list! The food was just ok but cocktails were superior

    The Rose Garden is most definitely aesthetically pleasing. The decor is so pretty. This is good for both date night and girls night out. Chad was friendly when we stepped foot in the RG. My bartender was nice as well. I forgot her name but she had glasses. She made me a drink that was a cross between an Old Fashioned and Espresso Martini which was good! I also had the Espresso Amore which was delicious. My cousin had the Love Island and she enjoyed it as well. We also had the Garden Tea shots. They were great also. The bartenders didn't skimp on the alcohol at all! My type of vibe. If ever back in Phoenix, I'd return!

    Awesome! A group of us girls met for HH! We enjoyed it!! The bartenders were amazing! Street and garage parking available.

    Blush and Burn, and Harvest Essence.

    We saw that this bar had some really good reviews as we were bar hoping through downtown so decided to give it a try. We didn't realize this place closed at midnight so when we got there at 11:45 we were wondering why it was so empty. The bartender was nice enough to just give us a heads up that it was last call but happily took our order. Being a big fan of tequila and mezcal we went with the Blush and Burn and the Harvest essence. What we received in front of us after ordering was a beautifully crafted cocktail, in very cool glasses that we really liked, and delicious to boot. I was worried the habanero tequila would overpower the Blush and Burn but that was not the case at all. The cocktail had a delicious spicy kick to it while having refreshing cooling effect from the grapefruit soda and sweetness from the strawberry habanero syrup. The Harvest Essence was also such a good mezcal cocktail and enjoyed the sip I got from my wife. Overall the bar has really good decor and cool vibe even with it just being us in there. To top it off the bartender, Marissa, was very friendly and chatted it up with us as we enjoyed our cocktails past the bar closing time. This is definitely a place I want to visit again before we leave.

    Ricotta that has been blessed with everything good

    The ricotta!? Good lord that dish was phenomenal. The drinks i unfortunately don't remember the names but my partner and i absolutely loved our drinks and will be excited to come back to do this all over again. I love a sparkling moment so that pink drink was a nice surprise. The bartenders were amazing and the atmosphere was quiet and nice to engage in conversation. I give this a 10/10

    This downtown Phoenix place has a great ambiance. Our server told us the story about Rose Garden and a peacock competing for the attention of being the most beautiful. That explains all of the roses and peacocks in the decor. There is even a stuffed peacock in the center of the room hanging from the ceiling surrounded by fringed lights. The bar has one side in the building and one side on the patio, and there is a rather large patio outside on 1st avenue. When you enter the bar from the building, as opposed to the patio, you're given a rose - - a very nice touch! We had a great server who took the time to help with the menu and tell us the story of Penrose the peacock. We arrived during happy hour which had great deals on classic cocktails, but we decided to order off the specialty menu. We got: *Take a Stroll--a fruity tequila an aperol cocktail *Voyage of Penrose--a tropical rum drink served in a peacock cup *Golden Harvest Charcuterie *XXXtra Spicy Pala Flatbread Cocktails were top notch. I really loved with a capital L the Take a Stroll! The flatbread was really, really small for $18, and tasted mediocre at best. But no worry because the Golden Harvest Charcuterie made up for it. It was huge and had a great combination of meats and cheeses. I'm not sure if I'll race back, but it's a decent option if you're in the area.

    Visited the Rose Garden last night for cocktails and had a great time. I love how they specialize in making different drinks. The place is decorated very nice with floral inspired decor. It gives that moody floral glam vibe. This is a great place to visit if your looking for great cocktails. The staff are friendly as well.

    The ambiance here is serene and really does feel like a garden party. I enjoy both the indoor and outdoor bar when the weather is nice. The drinks are pleasant, if pricey. The same can be said for the food- pricey and small portions but good quality. The biggest drawback is the high turnover of bartenders. It seems like the staff has been generally disgruntled with management since they opened. I don't think I've ever had the same bartender twice. If they reduce their prices to make them more reasonable and treat their staff well, this could easily be a 5 star cocktail bar. If you do go- I'd recommend the ricotta dip and Voyage of Pemrose cocktail. Be aware- they don't offer food in the summer. Pretty crazy, right? I'd appreciate if they had their full menu year round. No other cocktail bar downtown reduces the menu for the summer.

    We really enjoyed this bar. We arrived within an hour of closing and Marissa was super nice to us. She made us some delicious drinks. The place is beautiful perfect for Instagram pictures. We really wanted to come back before leaving town, but we couldn't. It is definitely on our list of places to visit in downtown Phoenix.

    If you're looking for the perfect night out, look no further than the Rose Garden Cocktail Lounge--and make sure Haneen is your server! She's not just amazing at what she does; she is the experience. From the moment we arrived, the lounge's romantic, floral atmosphere set the tone--soft lighting, cozy seating, and elegant details everywhere. But the real magic started when Haneen greeted us with the warmest smile. She's effortlessly charming, attentive without hovering, and has an intuitive sense for timing. It felt like she could read the table's vibe perfectly. She guided us through the cocktail menu with genuine excitement and nailed every recommendation. Her passion for the craft and the customer experience shows in every detail. We also ordered the cannoli, and WOW--beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Haneen hyped them up, and she was so right. Creamy, delicate, and the perfect sweet finish. Haneen is a true gem. She turned a simple night out into something special. If you're lucky enough to have her as your server, you're in for a treat. Rose Garden, you've got a star on your hands!

    My group and I came here after Harumi and we were seated right away. At the time, there was only a table of two in there. The entrance and interior is really pretty. I've been here once before about 2 years ago and remembered liking the drinks last time. They have some small bites on their menu but if you're super hungry and looking for something more filling, maybe eat somewhere else first. Our orders: Terminus $20 - a creamy, tropical flavored drink. The banana flavor was a bit strong but still good overall! I tend to choose the drink with coconut milk. Harvest Essence $17 - a smoky mezcal drink. My friend said it was good Take a Stroll x2 $15 - light and refreshing. They loved it Tequila Blanco w/ Sprite $14 - one friend switched to her usual for her 2nd round drink Nice vibe and ambiance. Bartender was nice and attentive. Great place for a date night or girls night out!

    I'm absolutely OBSESSED with this place!…read more We went here to celebrate my friend's 30th birthday, and it did not disappoint! I've never been to a bar/speakeasy that was so immersive from start to finish! The vibe was very 70s flight , funky, fun, and totally unique. They give you a boarding pass and a pin, and the flight we were on was from New York to Tokyo! You get a welcome drink with your ticket, along with some peanuts, which was such a nice touch. The welcome drink was light and refreshing, and the peanuts had a nice salty and spicy kick. The service was prompt and attentive, and the flight attendants had some great recommendations. You even experience turbulence during the experience, which really adds to the immersion. You honestly feel like you're on an actual plane! The drinks are themed around New York and Tokyo, so there's a nice variety to choose from. Overall, this was such a fun and unique experience. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun way to grab drinks with friends or even for a date!

Lets cover how you get there... as tickets & seats are limited release, Monday mornings at 10am AZ time, for the following Friday to Thursday only. Midweek tickets are available for seating & buying drinks only so spur of the moment bookings. But seriously recommend the Captain's table seats (which you can read below) 1) sign up for Sunday email blasts of the booking link (didnt work in my experience, but read on) 2) either get email link or wait for Monday 10am & next week of tickets (should) be released). Now in my first experience, neither the Sunday email or Monday morning release happened, maybe because they had plenty of tickets left for the midweek? Not an issue previously Yelped about so thought I'd add their customer service was absolutely wonderful & responsive to send the ticket link & helpful with allergies & setting up a birthday surprise. The ticket options are the following. $25 to get in, sit & buy cocktails & watch the other +-18 people get free cocktails & absolutely wonderful 4 plate small bites. As you can see from all the pics the food is fantastic & themed for the trip. The Captain's table tickets either come in 2 pack or 4 pack (seater tables) & well worth the experience. Now the website has a lot of info to read, one of the things it lists is a 20% "service charge" & that gratuity isn't included. Dont be concerned with this, ill mention it at the end. My advice to the management is to reword this sentence or it could be very misleading & a put off in this day & age as now I'm thinking i need to add 30-40% to the bill for service charge & gratuity... & believe me all the staff worked hard & are well deserving. About 5-10 mins before take off, head to the welcome desk at the Wren & Wolf, pick up your boarding passes & walk outside about 30 seconds around the corner to stand in line. Previous review talked about long waiting, didnt experience that as our doors opened bang on time & one of the Captain's checked out ID & boarding passes. We moved through a rather small beautifully decorated check in counter with period 70s time zone clock & boarded, to be shown our table. The interior is extremely comfortable, other than the 3x 4 seater Captain's tables, the rest was wrap around bench sofas & 70s low swivel soft chairs. As your eyes adjust to the dim lighting, the interior is all 70s wood, at one end is a full sized bar decorated with some chrome & lots of unique matching 70s style cocktail shakers. After the doors close, the stewardesses, dressed in 70s style single piece uniforms, run through a quick preflight take on the safety talk, while you sip on a welcome complimentary cocktail & nuts. Whilst at this point, our stewardess brings us our first course of absolutely delicious, mini NY style bagel, lox, lashings of cream cheese & topped with caviar; all whilst explaining we get 2 cocktail choices each included with our price. The announcement is made to depart, a rumble is felt below your feet & the LED screens (which you've not noticed all over, looking like large airplane windows) light up & the curtains are raised to reveal the Carry On terminal.... we taxi as the LED windows display a HD video of take off, all synchronised to the various angles & sides of the plane, meaning each window has a unique & different perspective of the take off. Our theme night was NY to Tokyo, so we took off, flew over Manhattan with the Twin Towers & carried on into the clouds. The whole time these windows are their own entertainment, finally circling Japan & landing. Next, 2 Japanese pot stickers with King Crab. Empty plates are swiftly cleared & its not long until our next course Next up, Japanese Waygu skewers eated around a shitso leaf. Then finally one of the best NY cheesecakes I've had, using crushed up Heath bars. Cocktail menu is large, all kinds of unusual selections & half way through the trip, the Captain announces, Its Martini time & the Martini cart is rolled out to all. After we thought we were done, my wife is presented with a beautiful Happy Birthday Cocktail & signed napkin. We'll if my wife is having a 4th drink, so must I. I was advised this would be at my own cost, which is nice to remind folks, but even looking at their alacarte menu, prices were extremely reasonable.. & we've just had 7 cocktails between us included. As the plane comes to land, you feel the landing gear extending & the bill is handed out. Tere is where you pay the taxes & service charge, but the bill lists "gratuity" & believe me, everyone & the experience deserves 20% here. Theres a chance to add a very small additional 3-7%, for me 7% was $6 & yes the entire experience & service, including making my wife feel special on her birthday was amazing.

Trust me I was in no state to remember ingredients but this is from my foggy memory. I also got a pick of the cool ice blocks that has an Agave inlay that they put in the tumbler with your drink. I will definitely be going back for their wide Mescal and tequila options. I didn't see food in the bar, but they have a food truck out front that smelled amazing, but sometimes I simply dont want to eat when there are plenty of drinks to be had. They do have Esquites, Tacos, Quesadillas, Mini Chimis, and loaded fries. I will have to do another review on the food when I am not out being a borracho. They do take reservations and host private parties which would make for one raucous Christmas party if you don't work at a Christ loving conservative company like me. You can also order bottles of mescal and pick it up on location which is pretty awesome as especially after trying out the selection. Happy hour is every weekday that they are open to try out some of their cocktails. This is a great option to impress your tinder date if you are a lush like me pr want to show of your sophisticated drinker side.

    Really enjoyed Barcoa Agaveria! Great cocktail selection and delicious drinks--the horchata house…read moreshot was a favorite. The menu was well done and the music and ambience were excellent. Our only complaint was the service. The servers weren't very attentive and didn't seem very knowledgeable about the products. Overall, though, a fun spot with a great atmosphere and we'd definitely come back!

    Had a fantastic Wednesday night, and a big reason was our server Max. From the moment we sat down,…read moreMax was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made the experience feel special. The recommendations were spot on, exactly the kind of insider knowledge that makes you feel like you're in good hands. Never had to wait for anything, and Max had a way of checking in at just the right moments without being intrusive. One of those servers who reminds you why going out is so much more than just drink. Will absolutely be back!

    They had me at the name... though I will clear the air. There are no killer whales present at…read moreKiller Whale Sex Club. Nor is it a sex club. But, if you're looking for a really cool bar, KWSC is for you. I stopped by on a week day evening around 8:30 p.m. Located in Roosevelt Row, while there isn't parking, I found free parking on the street a few minutes away on foot. Ambiance (4.5/5): My type of spot. Dimly lit with a speakeasy vibe. There are eight or so seats at the bar, and the rest of your seating options consist of comfortable chairs and sofas. You'll see a lot of photos of people's bums on the walls lol. This is indeed part of the appeal. For free, if you would like, they will take a polaroid of your butt and memorialize you eternally on the walls. While I didn't do that, if that's up your alley, go for it. Service (2/5): This is the main area of improvement. After being seated, I was greeted promptly and got my first cocktail promptly. From there, things fell apart. I had to grab the bartender's attention to order my second drink and to close out. It was a week day and they weren't busy. And there were two bartenders. A lack of attentiveness. When I closed out, I noticed that the cocktails were both $2 more expensive than what was listed on the menu. When I inquired, I was told that the menus were outdated... umm what? If you're not going to re-print your menus, give people a heads-up when they arrive. I understand that most people won't notice, but this is deception. Food (N/A): I was on a liquid diet. If you're trying to eat here, all they have is snacks. The menu doesn't specify but I'm thinking it's probably chips or somethign like that. Drinks (4/5): A lengthy, and interesting, cocktail list. Similar to a speakeasy, you're going to see creativity and an interesting blend of flavors here. The most popular drink is Fuck Nazis. We're seeing a theme here. KWSC is an interesting spot. For various dollar amounts, you can get funny things outside of the polaroids of your bum. My first cocktail was great. My second one, a tiki drink, not so much. The menu said that there would be some flame action happening. It didn't. Just another example of the service falling short. If the service were better, Killer Whale Sex Club would easily be a five-star experience.
