Well...this was a nicely crafted gem of a place to try out. If you want drinks and an enjoyable bar scene of relaxing, chatting, drinking or just enjoying the underground scenery. This is the spot for you to try... Upon walking in, you're figuring out which way to go but it's wag to find and you find that entrance to the bottom. Great drink selection and tip top service. I enjoyed my time and drink here... It's a must to try. Thank you 36B!!!!

While visiting a friend on Phoenix for a long weekend, we stopped by 36 Below, the speakeasy cocktail bar located under Sip Coffee & Beer. It is a themed cocktail bar, and I believe the concept changes quarterly. When we visited, the theme was "Midnight in Paris." When we stepped inside, the space was decorated with faux flowers, artwork, classical-style busts, and flickering faux candles, creating a fun Parisian-inspired atmosphere. We spent some time chatting with the bartenders, who were friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to talk through the menu and the rotating themes. Every cocktail is served in unique, creative glassware that adds to the overall experience. I was looking for a tequila-based drink and ordered the Foam on the Rim ($18), made with jalapeño-infused tequila, watermelon, lime, and ricotta cream foam. It was good, almost like a dessert in cocktail form, but too Rick to have more than one. We visited around 8/8:30 p.m. on a Sunday evening. Aside from a small birthday celebration, we practically had the place to ourselves. The intimate size and quieter atmosphere made it an ideal spot for a date night or catching up with a friend without having to shout over loud music. This was a cool spot to explore, I'm glad we stopped in!

Stopped in to grab a drink while on the hunt for a cocktail bar and 36 Below popped up. You enter through Sip coffee shop which is confusing and there's no obvious signage when you first walk in. It's located in the basement, so there are no direct windows or doors in the establishment. BUT the AC was kickin so all is well! We sat at the bar which was supposed to have wireless charging stations, but the one at the end of the bar was broken. This bar changes themes throughout the year - this time was a Paris theme, so all decorations and drinks were based on that vibe. We got two drinks - the Oaxaca In Me and Kiwi's Nest. Both drinks were yummy and strong, but you're definitely paying for ambiance and presentation more than anything else. Our bartender was friendly and chatty. The bar is very small with even smaller seating arrangement. I believe reservations are strongly recommended, we just happened to stop in at the right time. Didn't try any food, but if it's anything like their drinks, it's probably smaller portions. Probably won't be back unless every other bar we're by is busy.

So this speakeasy was a cool spot to chill at! You have to enter through the Sip Coffee Bar, and go downstairs. I heard about this place from good ole fellow Elite, Vlad. 36 Below changes their theme every so often, and this time it happens to be "Midnight in Paris." I wasn't sure if I had to dress the part, but for my first time there, I made sure to look polished. Upon entering, I was shocked to see that the place is TINY!! The table we sat at had the tiniest chairs I've ever seen!! I didn't know Vlad had been here at few times before, but since I got there first, I told him he may hit the ceiling, lol! The ceilings are pretty low, but tbe space is very carefully decorated to fit the current theme. We chose to order the Cocktail Experience for Parties of Two, which includes 4 cocktails or (mocktails) and their Gruyére Mornay Baked Macaroni. You can choose to upgrade the food portion (just pay the difference). Our server was super nice and friendly throughout our visit. Vlad had heard about a "secret code" and when he gave that code to our server, we ended up with 2 specialty shots on the house! It was super cute and fun to watch! I can't spill the beans and tell you what the code is, you just have to find it another way... lol. As for our cocktails, you would think we would have ordered different things, but we were kind of boring and got the same things, haha! The Epernay and the Chateau De Chambord. Both were delicious, but we both preferred the Chateau over the Epernay. Presentation is beautiful! We saw other people's drinks and every single one was stunning in its own way. To note: the glasses can be purchased! There is a glass case by the stairway going down, a day the prices are listed by shelf numbers. We didn't buy any, but we did like the aesthetics. As far as the food, we only sampled the mac and cheese, and to be honest, it was not the best in my opinion. I'm used to a creamy mac, but this one is more on the dry side and "bread crumb-y." It didn't taste bad at all, but it definitely had no creaminess to it. It's also a very small portion. That being said, you don't come here for food, it's the cocktails, of course!! At $84 for 4 cocktails and a side of mac, you're saving a few bucks since the drinks cost around $20 each. I do suggest eating somewhere else before you come here. I believe reservations are also required. They will charge you if you don't cancel ahead of time and end up being a no show. You've been warned! This place is a solid 4 stars for the experience. The chairs at the tables are small and uncomfortable so if you're a larger person, I'm just saying it may not be comfortable for you. They do have bar seating and that looked way more comfortable. Nonetheless, 36 Below is a good time for sure. Let's see if we can catch the next theme!

Visited 36 Below for the ambiance initially but stayed for the amazing craft cocktails and perfectly balanced small bites. The speakeasy vibe with Midnight in Paris was so pretty! I can't wait to visit again soon for their Halloween theme! Robert the bartender was super swift and knowledgeable in his craft, Thank you for taking care of us! Cheers !

What a beautiful little speakeasy! Located below Sip Coffee and Beer Garage, it's like you are walking into a beautifully decorated fairytale. We were greeted by two bartenders who were very friendly and even offered to take our photos to make our night more memorable. I didn't get their names but they were very attentive and pleasant. We ordered drinks only but noticed the food looked delicious. I ordered the Earth - White Rum, Plum Wine, Red Rice Spirit, Oolong Peach Cordial, Lime, Cherry Blossom. $18. Delicious. My friends ordered the Air - Buddha's Hand Vodka, Yogurt Soju, Jackfruit, Chamomile, Forest Liqueur, Shiso, Lemon, Coconut Air, Strawberry Jello. $18 And, finally the Orchid - Vodka, St. Germain, Aloe, Lemon, Lavender. $19. This had a light inside. Displayed beautifully. Are the drinks a little expensive? Maybe. But it is about the experience right? It's a fun, friendly and immersive experience in this underground speakeasy.

Hubby and I are a fan of this cool little speakeasy. In the middle of Sip Coffee you'll find a staircase leading down to this tiny bar. Just walking down the stairs with your line with plants and lights, you know you're in for a cool little place. And this place is very little. They're pressed tin ceilings and a bar with stools along both sides. The ceiling has an awesome floral theme, and there are cool little niches with plants in them. On either side of the room there are large screens with themed films going. Because the theme for this quarter is Tokyo Lights, the two big screens showed Tokyo with cherry blossoms. There were Japanese lanterns and flags and cherry blossom trees in the corners. This place does change themes four times a year. We've been to several of the themes including a super cool ski Lodge theme and a tiki luau theme. We'll be going back soon because the new theme beginning April 29th is Paris. The drinks here are presented so well. It's hard to choose because there are so many cool and original drinks, with many of them themed for whatever the current theme is. There's also a small selection of food, also themed. Hubby had the cocktail called Fire, which came in an iguana mug and was lit on fire. I had the Kiwis Nest. Both were delicious and beautifully presented. For the second round we got the cocktail called "Air," which had foamy bubbles and a spoon with Jello, and "Earth," a yummy peachy cocktail served in a cat mug. We also ordered some food. We ordered the Fire Noodle Salad, which was a combination of rice noodles, carrots, green onions, peanuts, in a peanut sauce, which was lit on fire. Next we ordered the Smoked Potstickers, which came in a wooden box. When the server got to the table he opens up the box and the smoke comes out and he takes out your pot stickers. Those were absolutely delicious! Actually, so was the fire noodle salad. We always have a great server here. They really try to make it's a good experience for you, and tonight was no different. Because this is an "experience" place, you are limited to 90 minutes. You also must pay a $25 deposit, but it doesn't get charged unless you don't show up for your reservation. Reservations really are a must - you might be able to slide in, but I wouldn't risk it. Parking here is really good. It's a regular parking lot and we've never have trouble getting a space. We will continue to be big fans of 36 Below. It's just a cool place to grab a drink before or after dinner, or in our case, the munchies we got was enough for our dinner and we didn't have to go elsewhere.

We were so excited to finally check out 36 Below. It's located inside Sip Coffee & Beer. After you walk in and pass the bar, there's a staircase that takes you downstairs to this hidden little cocktail spot. The space is small and cozy, with a few two-person tables and some bar seats. It's honestly a really cute place for date night. We knew it can get pretty packed, so we decided to come right when they opened at 4 pm instead of coming after dinner. Our friendly server told us they change their theme four times a year, and right now the theme is Neon Tokyo. Instead of doing their Cocktail Experience, we decided to order a few things ourselves: the VOID, AIR, the Upside Down Pineapple cocktail, the Green Matcha Soufflé, and the Onyx Ube Ice Cream. The presentation was really fun and creative. The ice cube in the VOID even had the Japanese character 空 carved into it, and the espresso-infused bourbon was served in a soy sauce bottle, which was such a cool touch. The AIR cocktail came in a Japanese bowl with coconut air foam, and it also came with a little spoon of strawberry jelly. So cute! I've honestly never had a cocktail served in a bowl before. The Upside Down Pineapple cocktail was also really delicious. And for dessert, the ube ice cream and the semi-sweet green matcha soufflé were both amazing. We're really glad we finally checked it out. Such a fun experience, and we'll definitely be back again, probably with a few friends next time so we can try more drinks.

I love the current Midnight in Paris theme! So creative and fun...it's an instant icebreaker and something different to do with a group of friends or on a date. The drinks are tasty and the presentation is top notch. We also got a charcuterie board, which was good but I wish they included more of each meat/cheese so we could all try each item. The server we had was very knowledgeable and gave good recommendations. My one complaint is the quality of the furniture. Me and my friends stayed for 2 hours enjoying the ambiance but at the end of the night our bottoms were sore from the cheap, uncomfortable seats.

A few girlfriends and I finally made it in to 36 below after talking about it for months. We came during Christmas time which was quite hard to get in. We booked about two weeks out & had to do a late night week day. It was still worth it though! The only negative was that we still had to wait about 15 mins after our set reservation time to be seated. The bar was decorated so beautifully inside & made you feel like you stepped into Christmas in NYC. I loved how cozy it felt. We did the three person deal which included two drinks for each of us & the mistletoe dip. I thought the pricing was pretty reasonable & I really enjoyed everything. The drink presentations were everything! I'll definitely be back again to check out another theme & hopefully it won't be as crazy busy during non-holiday season.

If you are looking for an absolutely beautiful immersive spot to enjoy curated drinks and small bites then @36below is a fantastic choice! The current theme is Midnight in Paris and every drink is so thoughtful crafted to not only fit the theme but to be a total experience for all your senses. Absolutely worth checking out this cool little speakeasy but make a reservation because it is small and popular. We really enjoyed our experience and I'd definitely return!

Jack C.

The ambiance is top notch! Definitely go for the experience. They have different themes each season. When I'm there it's a Paris theme. They have mocktails too. The service is pretty fast, and the vice is chill. The place is very small though. The drinks are innovative for sure. Some may like it, some may not. It's definitely a good visual for the gram.

I say...come check it out but know these things first: I've seen this place all over social media and it looks super cool--however--this place is not as big as it appears online. Make reservations. Understand that the 90 min (1hr, 30 min) experience goes by fast and they will have 1 server and 1 bartender for the whole place (at least on a Saturday at 4pm). We would have ordered more--we typically always do at these places but we timed out. Seating is also tight. We got sat at the very bottom of the stairs and in the way of the constant staff going back and forth to the kitchen. I could have easily elbowed one by accident. The chairs are very uncomfortable too BTW. Our server was super helpful and kind but poor thing is just one person for a room full of patrons in a tight small space. With that said--the theme we experienced was the Neon Tokyo. It was good. I came. I saw. I conquered. I don't know if I would come back but that's the thing with themes--depending on the theme...I may come back knowing the service is slow. Alright food and cocktails: I would say 7/10 We did the party of two--4 cocktails and 1 appetizer. 1st Round: I ordered the Fire cocktail--awesome presentation with the Fire. Cocktail itself was mid. My fiancé ordered the Earth and his was delicious. 2nd Round: I ordered the Orchid--pretty presentation and yummy cocktail. Would rate it as an 8/10. The fiancé ordered the Void and it was DELICIOUS!!! Our favorite cocktail of the night. Food we ordered was the potstickers and they were very mid. I can cook these in the air fryer myself. Considering the powerhouse speakeasy spots walking distance away at Century Grand--this place is subpar compared to Platform 18, Undertow, RenRx which are all far superior. Like I said--come try it and cross it off the bucket list.
