    Tiramisu martini
    Jen E.

    Awesome experience from door to door. The bouncer was super friendly and engaging. Service was lightning fast with multiple servers working together. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Vibe was totally on point. Modern speakeasy with great music and cool surroundings. I had the tiramisu martini-- their take on the espresso martini and it was fantastic. Drink menu is a little overwhelming but the server helped us navigate it. We didn't eat, only cocktails, but the food we saw looked good. Would definitely go back. But be prepared-- it's pricey!

    This bar is super popular and is located in Downtown Phoenix so reservations are definitely recommended, especially on Friday and weekend nights! They're open Tuesday - Sunday from 4pm-12am (except Fri & Sat - 4pm-1am) They've Happy Hour (Tues-Fri from 4-6pm) Parking is difficult but there are meter and paid parking structures available. Definitely recommend using Weymo/Uber Inside was very pretty with lots of cute Christmas decorations because they currently have a pop-up called "Sippin' Santa"! The menu had a huge variety of cocktails and liquor, as well as food. Prices were a bit pricey since most cocktails were $18.50+ and food items were $18+ Service was very welcoming, friendly, and attentive! Ordered the Coco Ho Ho Ho ($18.50) and it was super refreshing! Not too sweet and subtle notes of coconut and pineapple. I was expecting it to be like a Pina Colada but it wasn't. However, it still tasted pretty good and not too bitter so it was enjoyable! Lovefruit Medley was amazing! Super deljcious bursting with flavors of strawberry, pineapple, watermelon, and lemon! Reminded me of a sangria since it was so fruity and refreshing! Definitely recommend! The Truffle Fries ($17) was incredible! The fries were crispy and super fresh! The Truffle salt butter was so good! Not too salty and packed with flavor in every bite! If you're a fan of truffle fries, you'll love these! Overall, I really enjoyed my drinks and food so I'll definitely return and recommend!

    The name isn't just a brand--it's a description of how I felt after seeing the waitlist. * The Wait: I put my name down at 7:30 PM. By the time our table was ready, my fashion sense was vintage and I'd gone through two of the five stages of grief. * The Menu: It's a 60-page book. I didn't realize there would be a reading assignment before I could get a drink. I'm pretty sure the guy at the next table finished a PhD while deciding between the 'Duck Bath Punch' and a martini. * The Vibe: I asked for a "regular" vodka soda and the bartender looked at me like I'd just kicked a puppy. Verdict: The drinks are liquid art, but if you go on a Friday, bring a snack, a sleeping bag, and a thick skin for when the mixologist judges your life choices.

    Tiramisu: Patrón reposado tequila, coffee & cacao liqueurs, mascarpone cheese, cold brew shot

    We liked the drinks, but our unusual encounter with the bouncer almost made us reconsider going. We had just come from their sister establishment, Little Rituals, where we had such a great experience that we wanted to check out their other place. Upon arriving, we were unsure which side of the ropes to enter since there was no visible sign from the direction we came from. We stood facing the front of the door, but the bouncer did not acknowledge us. There was no line so I politely asked the bouncer where to go, and he rudely replied, "read the sign," pointing to one that was facing the other way. Taken aback by his attitude, my group of four exchanged confused looks and walked around to find the sign that said "line starts here." Then, things got really strange... The bouncer suddenly turned super friendly and immediately let us in. We were all puzzled as we walked in. Although his initial demeanor had left a bitter taste in our mouths, we decided to stick around for just one drink. My friend made a comment that maybe that's why they named the bar "bitter and twisted..." The bar staff were friendly and helpful. I opted for the Tiramisu cocktail, which featured Patrón reposado tequila, coffee and cacao liqueurs, mascarpone cheese, and a cold brew shot. It was delicious and well-balanced. The rest of my group also enjoyed their drinks. The same bouncer was again super nice to us as we left the bar, so I suggest to proceed with caution.

    Great place amazing drinks! It's a little overwhelming on the physical menu but if you use QR code it helped a lot with ordering. Atmosphere was nice. Enjoyed both inside and outside areas. Got to try out the cigars they were humidified to protection. The food was different but tasty. The welcoming staff was on point set the tone of your evening. The waitress could have had a little more personality for my liking especially when you let them know your first timers. However, overall a great time would definitely go again.

    Espresso martini
    Lindsay M.

    We didn't have food but we had drinks and they were delicious! I had their version of an espresso martini and it ranks up there as one of the best I've had! The service was phenomenal! They work as a team so you are well taken care of. The inside is very loungey and more of a romantic setting which is nice for a date night!

    From the moment we walked up to the entrance, til the moment we left... we had an absolutely AMAZING experience! We had heard so much about this place and it was my friends birthday, so we decided to start the night here. We made a reservation online for Saturday night at 7:45 which was very convenient. First walked up to the entrance and two sweet gentleman welcomed us with smiles and got us checked in. Walked inside and the hostess welcomed us and then another gentleman came up and wished my friend a happy birthday and dusted us with some glitter that made this night extra special, and we were just beginning. Such a sweet little touch! We were brought to our clean table and were poured water and given menus. Even though we didn't order any food (this time), everything on the menu sounded delicious. A quick peruse through the menu and we decided on our first two drinks. The Born Tequila was sweet with a hint of spice that was delicious. The Rhubarb Ba-Arnadas was SO refreshing, the hibiscus was so pleasant and balanced out the drink. Our server was very attentive and explained more about the drinks while we were trying to decide on our second round. The Lime and Coconut was my personal favorite, the tequila with pineapple and the coconut foam on top was to die for!!! I'd go back just for that drink! They also have a photobooth in the back which we absolutely loved!! They started to get busy as we left, but the noise level wasn't a problem. Perfect for date nights too!! Such a pleasant experience, I can't wait to go back and try more of their drinks & experience their exceptional customer service!

    I haven't been to b&t in years and not for lack of wanting to, I'm just not in that area of downtown very often. I got 2 other friends together to enjoy Sippin Santa (it was $15 per person and it doesn't go towards the bill but we did get a present that I consider worth it). We got dressed up and were seated right on time at 7pm by the highly enthusiastic (and probably a secret elf) bouncer at the door. We had the crab rangoon dip for the table and it was so yummy, basically crab dip with sweet chili sauce on top and crispy wontons, we scraped the plate! For drinks, there's 6 to list here so we had the Coco Ho Ho Ho, Pineapple Upside Down Cask, and Jingle Bird for round 1. Round 2 was the Rum DMC, a gin fizz, and the Solero. By far the collective favorite was the Solero, I don't know why but it was sooo tasty. Next time that might be all I get. 11/10 experience, the vibes were vibing!

    Amazing service, great vibe, delicious food. The place was lively on a Friday night. The bartenders were hilarious while the DJ spun throwbacks. The cocktail menu is extensive. You're sure to find a unique drink that peaks you're interest. I tried the fried fish and fries. The fish was fried just right. I doused it in malt ginger and man was it good! It's a great place for groups and singles alike. Accessible entrance.

    So cute! There is so many drink choices you could come here 50 times and not drink the same thing! I got the pornstar martini, and my god it was incredible! The staff were super friendly and made really good recommendations based off of what we each liked.

    Food, service and ambience is awesome. The bartenders were great. My favorite cocktail was a clarified New York sour... best New York sour I never had

    Bitter & Twisted continues to be our favorite cocktail bar. The holidays is always fun at Bitter & Twisted! They really killed it with the theme this year. I ordered the coconut drink which was really boozy and holiday forward. The food was also a hit. The tempura battered cod was delicious. Service was great. Although recommend you make a reservation.

    Up-Pear Cut
    Vlad V.

    I have been to Bitter & Twisted Cocktail Parlour twice with the most recent being on a Friday evening. I took an Uber. If you're driving, it's downtown so parking won't be easy. Close by, there is metered parking and parking garages. Service (4.5/5): The only real issue I had here is the bouncer. Upon arriving, he asks what can I do for you? I was like umm...I'm here to have a drink or two. A strange question from him which was a little off-putting. Luckily, once you're inside, the bartenders operate at an elite level. They greet you quickly, bring you water, and allow you to peruse the long menu. Throughout my time there, they constantly filled my water when it was still more than half full, they are all friendly, and they even hooked me and my buddy up with a complimentary shot. Service at its finest! Ambiance (5/5): I sat at the bar. They also have table seating and a cool hidden area close to the bathroom for large groups of 15-20 people. I love the ambiance here. It's dimly lit and sophisticated. The decor is great. It's not a speakeasy but you get those vibes here. Food (N/A): They do have a nice food menu including quite a few items that grabbed my attention including the ramen burger. But, since I had a dinner reservation elsewhere that night, I just got their local grilled bread and truffle butter appetizer. While a simple dish, it was done well. The bread was fresh and nicely grilled. The butter was whipped and you had the truffle to give it some complexity. But since it's just bread and butter, I don't want to rate their food fully. Drinks (5/5): This is where Bitter & Twisted really shines. They have a huge menu of craft cocktails, I'd guess close to 75 options or so. They also have beer and wine but it's a cocktail bar so you know what to do here. All of the spirits they use are premium ones so you won't find any well drinks here. The cocktail list is made up of a mix of both classic cocktails and interesting creations. They have won numerous awards, even as one of the top 50 bars in the world. If you're looking for elevated cocktails, this is what you'll find here. I started off with the Up-Pear cut which has pisco (Peruvian liquor as its base). While I don't want to receive an upper cut in real life, this cocktail was delicious. The two, green candies on top were a nice touch, too. While I only had one drink on this visit, Bitter & Twisted is the type of spot I would return to regularly.

    What is the latest time that I can join the waitlist? I know you guys close at 12am on Thursday! thank you

    Hello, the wait list only activates when we are on a wait. So technically, it might not be required later in the evening outside Friday/Saturday unless a large event is going on downtown. Please reach out to us at info@bitterandtwistedaz.com if you… 

    Where is the best place to park?

    Hi Ryan, check out our website for some of the best options... bitterandtwistedaz.com/hours-parking-contact

    Can I make a reservation?

    No they don't take reservations. But worth the wait.

    If I have a person in my party that is under 21, are they allowed inside?

    Unfortunately everybody in the party needs to be over 21 to enter.

    Will you be open on Christmas day before the suns game?

    Hello there, We will be closed Christmas Day so our team members can spend the holidays with their families.… 

    Are the gluten free options available right now? I know the menu has been limited due to COVID.

    Hi there, Please check out our website and look under the menus tab. There you can download a food menu and anything marked with GF is gluten-free.

    Anywhere free to park? I hate paying $10 at the garage every time and there's rarely street parking.

    Sadly parking downtown is something outside our control. But if you check out our website, we have listed a discounted parking partner nearby that's current as of 8/12/21. https://bitterandtwistedaz.com/hours-directions-contact

    Is cigar smoking allowed in an air conditioned area? Can you bring your own cigar? Do you sell them?

    Sorry, there is no cigar smoking in any air conditioned areas. And we do not sell cigars on premise. We recommend Ambassador Cigars as a great place to buy in the valley though.

    Why does this business not answer calls during business hours? Tried 7x over the span of 2 hours.

    Hi there, during Tuesday through Saturday from 4:00 p.m. until close, we definitely do our best to try and answer the phone. And how to haven't received any other major feedback that we are not in a timely manner.… 

    When is their happy hour (during COVID times)?

    Hi There, Tuesday - Friday 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m.

    Is the waitlist really serious, if we just show up will we end up stuck outside?

    Yes, you should waitlist or the wait can be LONG.

    Can you buy the glasses they come in?

    Most likely not from Bitter & Twisted but they should be able to tell you where you can find them (or their vendor).

    When does the kitchen close?

    When the bar closes

    How to I make a reservation at bitter and twisted from this site?

    You'll have to call to make the reservation; however, they don't take reservations on the weekend. On the weekend, check the Yelp app for the estimated wait time. If you have a party of 6 or less and depending on the estimated wait time, you can add… 

    Is this a slacks and coat type of place or a jeans and tshirt kind of place? Or in between?

    All sorts are welcome. People come straight before or after baseball games and fit in just fine!

    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.

The ambiance is dark like most speakeasies. Super modern looking with live plants gracing one of the walls and alcohol on the rest of the wall requiring a ladder to access top shelf. If you are hungry, the bar does offer some food. There are a variety of tacos on the menu and a raw bar. On the raw bar you can get oysters and shrimp. Lastly the bar does have a small happy hour.

Needless to say we really liked all three: picadillo, arroz con pollo and guava and cheese - the picadillo was the favorite however both for the inside flavor and the accompanying dip. Pricing is not bad I'd say the serving and size of the three empanadas for $14 is a great price.

    We liked the ambience, the place is decorated very nicely…read more Food came put fast, I had the Ropa Vieja empanadas which were very tasty and good as an appetizer. My husband had the cubano which was a big portion and he liked it. I had a sangria which was decently priced, we also got a Mojito which thought was pricy for the amount of alcohol. Would go back to try other things in the menu. They are literally next to the light rail which makes transportation very easy because parking in downtown is a nightmare. Would def go back.

    So let me preface this review on my inebriation level as being pretty high after hitting Pinkys,…read morebut we decided to hit this place up on a bar hop, because why not when your just throwing them down. This is very cool joint with a dark feel too it. They have a basement bar which we ventured into and they also have an upstairs bar as well, so you can fit a lot of drunk People in there. It also features a lot of great art that fits really highlights the Mexican bar vibe. The waitress/bar tender/ agave expert was very welcoming and know a lot about their tequilas and mescal option. I love me some smokey mescal, I dont remember thet name of the drink but it had some kind of elote triple sec or something like that along with Mescal and it was quite tasty. 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.
