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.
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.
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.
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.

This place is so cool!! I like the speakeasy vibe but they also have food! So many unique drinks and martinis! I stopped in to try their happy hour, and I am very pleased with the gin collins! They give you a nice big glass, and it looks so pretty! Service has been great, with very friendly and attentive bartenders who are talented! I'm excited to try this place again! read more
The service here was above and beyond! Our hostess Kora was kind, helpful, and sympathetic. Our hostess Patrick was friendly and fun. Our server Monique helped answer all our questions and had a great personality. Joselyn also helped us during our visit and she was so amazing and very helpful. The food was very tasty and fresh. The drinks were top of the line - both beautiful and tasty! The vibe was kicken and very upbeat yet also chill. Loved being here and absolutely cannot wait to return read more

This may be my favorite cocktail bar in the country. Just a phenomenal experience. It all starts with the mixologists. They are great at their craft. The drink menu is huge and they have great recommendations. They are fun and engaging the entire time you are there. The ambience is great and everyone is social and friendly. Just an amazing experience from the time we stepped into the door until we left. We will absolutely return. read more
This was the absolute best place I visited on my trip to the Phoenix area. Parking was a little bit of a headache, but it was more than worth the struggle! This menu is immense and this menu is well thought out beyond what I could imagine! The drinks were well fought out, balanced, and extremely tasty. I would return back here time and time again, and I'm quite honestly jealous of anyone who lives close enough to visit regularly. I highly recommend bitter & twisted to anyone looking to go! read more

My boyfriend and I came to Bitter & Twisted Cocktail Parlour during their holiday-themed cocktail season, and once again, we had a great time. This is actually our third year coming during the holidays, and it's something we'll probably continue to do it's become a bit of a tradition for us. The holiday décor is on point very festive, cute, and cozy and the Christmas-themed cocktails are so good. If you enjoy seasonal drinks, this is definitely the time to visit. The cocktails were well made and fun without being overly gimmicky. This time around, we came a little hungry and decided to try more food items than usual. Most of the food was really good. The tacos were delicious, and the crab dip was a standout we both really enjoyed it. The only miss for us was the chicken katsu sliders. Unfortunately, they weren't our favorite, and we didn't finish them. One of the sliders I had seemed to have a nerve in it, which was a turn-off and made it hard for me to continue eating. That said, the overall experience was still great. Our waitress, Jocelyn, was incredibly sweet and took excellent care of us, which really added to the night. Between the festive atmosphere, great cocktails, good food options, and friendly service, this place continues to be a holiday favorite for us. Highly recommend especially during the holiday season read more

What a fantastic and unique cocktail bar! We had such a good time and loved all the cocktails we tried. The menu felt a bit overwhelming with all of the choices but our waitress was wonderful at guiding us through it. I would certainly recommend Bitter & Twisted to anyone wanting an upscale, unique cocktail experience with delectable drinks! read more

Bitter & Twisted: How I describe my old college professors. Joyce W., the one who steals my comforter at night, loves a good cocktail parlor. Add a fun seasonal pop-up and she'll be over the moon. We recently came with some friends for their holiday pop-up, Sippin' Santa. Drinks were good, had some popcorn, and it was a fun evening. No notes. It's a great place. read more
This was such a fun place. They served food as well at around 10-11 ish PM. I don't drink so I was very hesitant to go in but obviously my friends did so I just went in. Very pleasantly surprised that they could do mocktail version of a lot of different drinks, page after page. The atmosphere was so nice and very artsy cool. The service was great. I'm down to try this place again. read more
Alcohol: Because no great story ever started with someone eating a salad. Am I getting older or is this place louder? Granted, we stopped in during their holiday pop-up, Sippin' Santa, and we were seated in their side room but this place was loud. I found myself screaming to be heard by those seated across from me but hey, that's the holidays, babe. I ordered a Choquito ($17.50 - Jamaican & Puerto Rican rums, lime, coconut, creme de cacao, and mole bitters) but also stole sips of my friend's A Snowball's Chance in Hilo ($30 - Caribbean rums, lime, pineapple, orange, nutmeg & cinnamon syrups, and tiki bitters) and also some Merry Spritzmas ($17.50 - Prosecco, aperol, tawny port, Cognac, lemon, falernum, fig preserves, and cardamom bitters. All the drinks were boozy and served in cute festive glasses that are available for purchase. To snack, we got some Hurricane Popcorn. The food here is good from what I remember and if we didn't have food at another holiday pop-up we went to, I would have gladly ordered more. This place is still great. I still would recommend Bitter & Twisted Cocktail Parlour to all! read more

My mocktail version of "Holiday on Ice" was delicious! Essentially a Chai Eggnog. Others enjoyed the Mai Tai, and A Snowball's Chance in Hilo. Hard no was the Secret Santa - was returned. No birthday anything extra unfortunately since that was what we were here for. read more

This bat is located in the heart of downtown phoenix. It's a low lit restaurant with a patio, and an extensive cocktail menu. It also has a photo booth at the back of the restaurant. My friends and I solely went for drinks but also go a few appetizers off the menu. The crab Rangoon dip was exceptional and it's the best dip I have had in a really long time. The shrimp tacos were also good. They also have cigars if you are interested. read more
We love coming here, and it's even better during Christmas time. They do a Christmas pop up called Sippin' Santa , and it's awesome! We came on a Thursday night early in the season, so there was plenty of room. But in our past experience, this place will be crazy busy on weekends, especially when the season is in full swing. During Sippin' Santa, there are Christmas lights everywhere you look--on every column and hanging from the ceiling. There are little up palm trees and flamingos, a big inflatable snowman, and the giant surfing girl on the wall is dressed for Christmas, complete with Santa's beard. This time of year they have a special Christmas cocktail menu in addition to their VERY large regular cocktail menu. We ordered three drinks off the Christmas cocktail menu. All our drinks were so yummy and are presented in a super fun way. Mine, the Sugar Plum Mai Tai came in a shark mug with a little surfboard. These guys are masters at making a cocktail fun. Btw, these bartenders seem very dedicated--we see the same faces year after year, so you know the are seriously protecting the art of the cocktail. We ordered The Korean nachos, the barbacoa tacos, the fish and chips, and the green chili mac and cheese. Everything was so delicious. The fish and chips were crispy without being too greasy. Yummy! Because we booked a reservation for the Sippin' Santa Experience, we all got super cute light up knit hats. It really help us get into the Christmas spirit! read more
This place is always a blast and the cocktails are always so much fun to try! The tropical Christmas pop up bar is always so fun and festive, I decided to bring my family here to experience it! Bitter and Twisted is located downtown, so parking is either in a garage or on the street. Reservations are recommended, but they do take walk ins. We paid $15 per person for the Sippin Santa Christmas experience and we each got a festive light up beanie to wear and take home. Our server Kaley was a gem and I couldn't have asked for a better person to take care of us! The Yule Tide drink was my favorite cocktail from the seasonal menu, which was tequila based and tasted like the Apple Jacks cereal. We also tried the Choquito and Sugarplum Mai Tai which were both great drinks. For food we tried the meat and cheese board which was good, the shrimp tacos and barbacoa tacos which were both delicious, especially the shrimp tacos, and the grilled cheese bites which were good. There was a delay for our banoffee pot dessert, so to make up for that, the general manager brought out a complimentary tiramisu dessert for us. This was super generous and very appreciated. Highly recommend this place, especially during the holidays with the pop up bar which is so colorful and festive read more

Went here with my friends after the Katy Williams show. There was a little line but security was nice and entertaining. Once sat, we were immediately greeted and provided waters. The new drink menu with 75+ drinks was released the week before so it took a minute to read over everything. We enjoyed their hurricane popcorn while we browsed then menu. My friends were drinking, I wasn't. They all enjoyed their cocktails. A few of us got shrimp tacos, someone got the Mac & cheese, and someone else got the pork tacos. Everything was tasty. My only critique is although I ordered my food at the same time as my friends, my tacos did not come out until about 20 minutes after everyone else food. I also had 2 tacos that had big shrimp and the other 2 had tiny shrimp. Not equivalent to the ones my friends had. They were delicious, but I feel like I got ripped off. Since it was late, I was starving, and my food was delayed, I didn't send it back. The vibes were great. You can seal drinks and take them to go. There's a cute photo booth. Overall a great time. read more

I came here for Sippin Santa with a group of friends and we had a great experience! Since we paid the $15 to reserve our table we walked right up at our scheduled time and were led to our table immediately. Service was great and our server was willing to answer any questions we had about the menu. We ordered the lovefruit medley, yule tide, and a snowball's chance in hilo punch bowl. My favorite drink was the lovefruit medley. It's a bit pricey and the drinks are strong so it's a great bar for a special occasion! Side note - we had a lot of fun with the included secret santa gift that was part of the Sippin Santa experience. read more
