Captain Alex had things running smoothly with the help of Captain Dave (formally of Coabana) The decor is the same, and the drink menu is a bit smaller - 8 signature cocktails and 9 tiki classics. The back page of the menu was all food items. The three cocktails we had were boozy, yet perfectly balanced. The flavors of the drinks were un mistakable, making them more pronounced, and quite frankly, just plain delicious! Glad The Captains Cabin is back, and you can bet we'll be stopping by to say hi to Captain Alex and Captain Dave and enjoy more great tiki cocktails.

Instead of coming alone, I've brought coworkers/friends here for happy hour after work. Happy hour - weekdays 3-6pm $3 slices of cheese or pepperoni pizza $3 beer $4 tacos $10 cocktails $10 wine glasses $10 small plates Each time, I've ordered the Kokumotsu - haku vodka, lemon liqueur, pandan coco crème, cherring herring, pineapple, orange. The drink's ingredients sound a bit weird together, but TRUST ME it is so refreshing and has quickly become one of my most favorite creative, original cocktails ever! Their NY-style thin pizzas also don't miss. I've tried the pepperoni (red sauce, cheese blend, pepperoni, dried oregano) and Roycerroni (pizza sauce, cheese blend, cup & crisp pepperonis, calabrian chiles, honey, ricotta, basil). Chef's kiss! Absolutely love The Starving Artist, and it has quickly become one of my favorite places to drink in Phoenix. During weekday evenings it's pretty chill, but on weekends, it gets pretty packed and lively. Bonus points that they have all of their menus uploaded conveniently on their website, which you don't see often with cocktail lounges! https://www.starvingartistaz.com/

I always find myself returning to Macintosh for either brunch or dinner, and there's a good reason…read morewhy! The ribs are absolutely to die for -- tender, flavorful, and definitely something I recommend trying. The sandwich portions are also worth mentioning. You get a generous amount of meat, making them a satisfying choice when you're looking for something hearty. One thing to keep in mind is the drinks. For the price, they tend to be a little light, so you may want to consider ordering a double. Otherwise, I'd simply go with a glass of champagne or a beer and enjoy the meal. Overall, Macintosh remains a place I'm happy to return to.

Monsoon Season- spicy clarified mai tai- loved that you could specify the spice level. Garrett and Kenzey went above and beyond with service. I also got to try the strawberry fernet and Anna's play on a daiquiri and her exquisite bramble shot. Everything was thoughtful- balanced and above and beyond in the flavor department. It's nice to see this bar crank on a busy Saturday. I cannot wait to be back and try more cocktails. Truly pushing the boundaries and the cocktails truly were the best I have tried in the past two years in Phoenix. Keep it up Sunny's - I will be back ASAP.

The bar is clean and the surrounding tables and chairs make for a good hangout spot with friends. They do have an extensive menu of drinks to choose from and the bartenders are friendly and efficient. They do offer some desserts and some light bites as well. The restroom is pretty bougie and I'm mad that I didn't get any pics or videos because that has got to be the fanciest toilet I have ever seen in public! Lol You just have to see it for yourself! If you're looking for a casual vibe with a good drink selection, this is a good one to try. Great for a date night, too! Have yourself a ball at Bar 1912!

I absolutely love the atmosphere and it's not high energy. Very relaxed which is great for me. The food was good. We got the basil pesto ice cream and omg. Divine. The pesto ice cream honestly was lije pistachio ice cream. It worked amazing and so refreshing. Underneath was a lemon ice thing that was exquisite and very palate refreshing. It tasted tart and like lemons. Not crunch. Soft ice. One thing though. The drinks weren't bad price. Average for tha area. The only thing is the bar tender made all of our drinks very strong. Most people think that's a good thing but honestly all I could taste was booze. I ordered a whisky sprite (7and7 spoof) and wow I could only taste whiskey. Every sip was booze booze and more booze. For the cocktails I wasn't able to taste any of the ingredients since it was so strong on the alcohol. Definitely moneys worth I guess lol. The bartender though was very nice and knowledgeable about all the drinks. Could explain all the drinks and the different types of alcohol. Not bad. Definitely would come back. Super cute for date night or a small gathering night out since space wise isn't huge.

Wow. All I can is what a restaurant! Came here on a Wednesday night 3 weeks before Christmas and…read moreit was a vibe. Secluded upstairs dining area with heaters available. Excellent service, a Christmas tree upstairs, and no reservations required. Glad they were able to seat us considering we showed up without reservations. Downstairs gets quickly reserved so seats upstairs are where they push overflow patrons. Right outside Flint's doors downstairs there is a staircase which opens up to the upstairs dining area. Service was prompt, and we got our drinks by the time we had our mains decided. I got a glass of red to pair with my steak. My partner had a refreshing cocktail, but it was decent. The highlights of the night were the food. SO MUCH FOOD! And it was TERRIFIC! For starters we got the artichoke hummus. It sounded a bit weird, but all it was was regular hummus with 4 artichoke hearts that were crispy. The artichoke hearts were crisp, but moist, and I could have kept eating those all day. It comes with 1 pita bread. The server told us to order another and we did, turns out we needed it as the pita breads were quite small ($3 +). Sure only 3 bucks, but nickel and dime if you are spending $14 on an app... For mains I got the filet medium rare with a side of regular potatoes. My partner got the salmon skewer with a side of asparagus. Both the dishes were cooked perfectly and they were familiar dishes with a slightly exotic touch to it. Must be the middle eastern part of the restaurant. The steak came with a ganache or accompaniments of middle eastern sides. Can't recall what they were but they were great when I dipped my potatoes in them. It was sour, tart, acidic, kind of like middle eastern soy sauce. The server recommended it to us and we got it. The salmon skewer came with 5 decent sized pieces on it. Great for a small eater or someone who doesn't want their own meal. It too was delicious and had light touches of sauce or smoke on it. The asparagus is a favorite. It was cooked as usual, typical steak side and both me and my partner enjoyed it! For dessert, as it was my partners birthday the server comped the pound cake. While it was delicious, it was definitely the letdown of the meal. It was way too sweet including the layer of cream that it was doused with. The sweat cream wasn't necessary as the pound cake was incredibly sweet itself. Also, the pound cake wasn't soft like normal cake. It was quite dry once you peeled away the creme layer up top. I definitely should have gone with the Chocolate Ganache Tart. But their mess up worked in their favor. I'm definitely coming back for another meal at Flint!

The place had a nice romantic vibe but still felt chill and relaxed. For drinks, we had the Pickle Tiny Tini and the Vesper Tini. Both were good, but I liked the Pickle Tiny Tini better. For food, we started with the French onion soup and got the salmon and yellowtail hand rolls. We also wanted to try the spicy lobster hand roll, but they were out of lobster. We also ordered the French dip sliders, mini lobster rolls, and the pastrami Reuben egg roll. The sliders were really flavorful, and the mini lobster rolls were tasty. The only thing that we don't really like was the Reuben egg roll; the filling was good, but the wrapper wasn't crispy and was kind of soggy. It was nice and quiet while we were there, and free parking was a nice bonus. I try, I review, glad we came to give it a try.
