Surprise Father's Day gift to go on a "flight" from NY to Tokyo. This was such a cool experience. I'm an airplane junkie so going back in time in a vintage plane was awesome. The vibe is intimate and the staff was amazing. The food was good; my wagyu was cooked nicely but my wife's was a bit overdone. The peanuts pack some heat so they were a bit too spicy. This is a cool date night experience and you get wings, like the old days. read more

WOW. An elevated, 90-minute-long immersive cocktail experience worth every penny. In short, you either sign up on Sunday for a link to RSVP on Monday OR RSVP anytime before your event during the week, pending availability at that time. "First Class Seating" is $25 person for admission, a Welcome Cocktail, House-Made Wasabi Peanuts, and a sweet treat. "Captain's Club" is $100/person for admission, a Welcome cocktail, 2 craft cocktails of your choice and 4-course light bite menu featuring King Crab Dumplings, Mini Salmon Lox Bagel, Japanese A5 Wagyu Skewers, New York Style Cheesecake" Additional food/drinks are also available for purchase separately. There are table options to seat up to 2 or 4 people for $50 and $100, respectively. As I was in a party of 2, I cannot speak to if you must purchase a full table as a party of 1 or pay your individual fare but potentially be seated with another party of 1... My partner and I RSVP'd for a Thursday 7:30pm flight from NYC to Tokyo. Per our email, we were instructed to arrive about 15 minutes early to pick up our flight tickets from the downtown restaurant Wren & Wolf. Spoiler alert: Carry On is a speakeasy attached to the back of the restaurant. After picking up your ticket, you walk around the corner to the large orange "plane" door, which opened punctually at 7:30pm to start our experience. We gave our flight attendants (the staff was indeed wearing flight attendant uniforms) our tickets at the front desk, and were given free Carry On pins before being escorted to our table. Despite being a Thursday evening There were overhead announcements and even windows playing animations emulating a real flight experience from take-off to landing! The interior is gorgeous, from the furnishings to the lighting. Craftily, there are many mirrors inside to create the illusion of a larger space. The menu emulated an in-flight menu, with food and drinks based on the trip's theme! We ordered an additional drink each and an onion dip that were all creatively crafted and delicious! All in all, Carry On is the perfect date night or girl's night experience. While it might not be in most people's price range for a casual night out, it is definitely worth trying for a special occasion if possible. I would love to go back and am looking forward to the next destination's theme! read more

This is a must go to place whether you are from Phoenix or just visiting the experience is well worth your time and money. Step into an airplane from the 1970'd and be taken care of by flight attendants and pilots. You receive a welcome cocktail and snacks for the basic ticket and for the first class ticket you get the welcome cocktail two additional cocktails and a a préfixe 4 course tiny dinner. The vibe is chill but their may be some " turbulence "  on your journey so be prepared. This would make a fun date night or girls night. read more

Carry On was a great experience for our bachelorette party (or any sort of special occasion, really)! We had a 7:30pm flight to Mexico City and arrived about 10 minutes early which ended up being perfect because there was already a line forming outside. You really feel the 70s vibes from the moment you step onto the "airplane". The team did an amazing job with the ambiance and you can tell a lot of thought was put into every aspect of the space. It's such a fun immersive experience. Server and bartenders were friendly and fun, and the vibes all around were just super happy. I loved the rolling martini cart that came around! The only reason I'm knocking a star is because when we booked (a party larger than 5) I emailed with the team there for our reservation. They mentioned the option to upgrade the reservation to a $100/person meal option which I declined. After we were seated small bites were passed around the plane. We noticed every table received it, so I truly thought it was part of the standard experience. It wasn't until the 3rd round of small bites went around that I realized we will probably be charged for the full service experience (which we were). Because this was a new experience for us, my suggestion would be to confirm the experiences with our table prior to passing around offerings. We aren't familiar with what to expect, so we didn't know it wasn't standard until it was too late. Otherwise, we had a great experience! read more

This was my second "flight" with Carry On and my first flight during the Carry On x Chilte collab. The interior of the space is uniquely decorated and truly moves you to an era of fun flights. I highly recommend dressing to the theme and embracing the experience. The attendants and servers are quick to assist - however, the space itself is quite noisy so bear with the team. Each collab is unique so if you see a "flight" that interests you, jump on their newsletter to get the registration link as soon as it launches. read more

Carry-on was such a fun experience and I'm so glad that we were finally in Phoenix for a weekend that we could book it and have the experience. The flight attendants were super kind, the drinks were unique and delicious. Overall, the ambience, the vibe is what you're going for. We will absolutely be back at some point to catch another flight to a different location and I cannot recommend this enough for a unique experience in downtown Phoenix! read more

Finally, a location we have been trying to see but our sporadic trips to Arizona have made it hard until now. We stopped by Wren & Wolf to collect our boarding passes and sat down to relax in the lounge until we got closer to boarding time. We then walked around the building to the dimly lit entrance and waited behind the ropes. At exactly the boarding time, the captain opened the doors and greeted us. We walked by the check-in area, and our tickets were checked. The stewardesses then gave us a pair of wings. This flight was to Tokyo and the travel warning mentioned kaiju activities. Glancing into the seating area it was shaped like a luxury plane with windows and ample space to move around. At the back of the plane were seats wrapping around and the cabin was very beautifully decorated. Towards the front of the aircraft, there was a beautiful bar. The photos in the advertisements are not photoshopped the place is amazing. The stewardesses escorted us to our seats and they were very comfortable. Depending on group size you either get a small table for two or for 4. This reminded us of the movie Soul Plane lol. Kiki and Madie were our stewardesses on the flight and started us with a complimentary drink and some peanuts. As we were taking off you could see the plane taking off through the windows and you could feel vibrations on the floor as if the plane was rolling. Then once in the air they played a large selection of music. Keep an eye out the windows because you will see strange things like we spotted King Kong and then while in flight we saw Ghidorah fly by and I think I got a glimpse of Mothra, but was not sure. Kiki and Madie were amazing they kept the drinks flowing and we watched the captain make drinks because he was also the bartender. We then ran into turbulence and into a storm and spotted Godzilla, Mechagodzilla, and Ghidorah amidst the dark clouds and lightning. Then at this time the martini carts came around serving handcrafted martinis at your table side. After we got out of the dark clouds there was a tasty cookie and more drinks. The service was amazing. Kiki and Madie were Rockstars and were very efficient at their jobs. They provided light conversation and were knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations. When we got close to Tokyo and were ready to land there was a last call and we could see Tokyo from the windows as we did our final approach. The whole experience was well worth it and each flight is different. We spoke to some other passengers who have been on other flights and they can't get enough of it. The captain's quarters section in the front of the plane served some The flight time was 90 minutes and there is a bathroom on the plane. There is a parking garage in the same building so you don't have to walk far. Thank you, Captain, and thank you Kiki and Madie, for this amazing evening. read more

OK, so I have to say the reservation process was a major turn off for me for the longest time, but it's well worth it! I'm not a huge fan of queues and drop times but I would 1000% do this again. I brought my boyfriend for his birthday and our flight was from NY to Tokyo. PDC nailed it again with this concept. You literally feel like you're on a flight and their drinks were so on point. Even their bathroom is amazing, lol. My boyfriend doesn't live in AZ but said this was easily the best speakeasy concept he has ever been to. 12/10 from us. read more

Super cute! getting a reservation is not easy- you have to sign up to get the link to the ticket drop. You have to sign up before Sunday which is when they send the link. Then Monday at 10am it opens and you need to be on the website on or before 10 to get in line. Time slots fill up super fast because it's a small venue. So it takes some planning and have back up dates/ times ready! Also it's even harder to get a 4 person res, 2 person reservations are easier. The theme is really fun and rotates. You all "board" at the same time and there are announcements from the pilots that support the flight location. Some entertaining views from the window occur too! The drinks and treats were also great- the cookies at the end were really good! I enjoyed our drinks and when I ordered one I didn't love they let me get a different one. They also have a martini cart that comes around with some Different options from the main menu. Overall loved it, would definitely recommend!! read more

What a unique experience! We've been to the train bar in Arcadia before and when we saw a collab with chilte we had to check it out. We got to wren and wolf around 7:10 and they had our "tickets" for us. When we got in front of carry on, we were the first ones in line. We expected to get on sooner because the tickets said 7:30 but I guess the time to actually go inside, not when takeoff is. We sat down and got welcome drinks and peanuts. About 10 minutes after they started to take drink orders. I'm a lightweight so I didn't get anything but my husband got the chilte collab drink. It tasted a lot like tomato and was super unique. The tuna tostada was great alongside the pepper on the side. We then got mole which was the star of the show. The mole was so unique and spicy, I'd never had a mole like that before. The flight was 4d in that it moved like a real airplane. They then come around for martini cart service. They shake it in front of you so we had to try the dirty martini togarashi. It was super unique and perfectly salty. We then got the chilte taco which was good but nothing special. The dessert however was amazing! It tasted like a cheesecake. We then "landed" - it was faster than I thought, as it's 1.5 hours but settling in and getting everyone inside takes a while. The bathroom was a cool airplane looking bathroom, but huge. The downside was that it was quite pricey, and the train bar has a booking cost but it goes to your drinks so I'll likely do that before coming here again. read more

We have been to Carry On a couple of times now, first for their flight to SFO which was a great experience. We were a little shocked by the price tag even after paying $50 for the initial reservations but for the experience, it was still very unique and enjoyed our time there. We recently went again for the Tokyo flight and while there was changes to the actual video of the flight, it wasn't enough to be worth the price again. Still definitely recommend going at least once! read more

We were so pumped for a blended night of world class tacos and a themed cocktail bar. With El Cafe de Leon we felt like this would be a no brainer. We were greeted warmly by the front staff at wren and wolf which is where you get your boarding passes. We then went around the corner to the "Orange Door" and waited for boarding. To our surprise there were no delays despite the rare weather we experienced here in phoenix so we were welcomed and seated. Going back in time is cool for the nostalgic for some that had experienced in the past. Despite being over 40 this was an experience style I never had which had me that much more appreciative of all the detail. From the napkins to the stemware, the high arching wood accents to the signage; everything made me feel like I also was being transported into another time We were given our complimentary cocktail which despite being a tequila base my wife even thought was tasty. After another round of drinks was ordered the engines fired on and we took off. Once in flight our drinks and the flight of tacos began to come. As we continued to eat sip and savor we just took it all in. Great music looking out the windows and marveling at the amazing staff now going around making martinis. Such a well oiled machine this concept really does make your experience feel like you're flying. IT truly is worth at least one visit. In closing I didn't have much to say about the food because well food is like art - it's subjective and that means that not everyone is going to have the same opinion since we all have different taste. Despite feeling like I know a good taco when I eat it I (we) didn't have that here and because this place isn't a restaurant and crushed what they do in the drink space is why I saw no reason for anything less than the rating I gave and I wish El Cafe de Leon the very best read more

Really cool experience. From the doors about to close for boarding (almost didn't make it) to the flight attendants and PA announcements, this definitely was an experience. We were greeted onboard with a welcome drink. The theme for this was Michelin pop up with a flight from San Francisco to Mexico that featured tacos. Unfortunately, this was a last minute invite from a friend due to another cancellation and I didn't realize the only tacos served were beef and pork which I don't eat. I still enjoyed a non alcoholic beverage and eventually ordered one alcoholic beverage as well! I've been wanting to try this spot since it opened and it's super hard to get into so glad my friend thought of me and I was able to experience it. I would definitely come back. Cook, retro vibe! read more

Carry On is quite the experience that starts with grabbing your boarding pass at Wren and Wolf. Flight attendant and pilot greeted us, opened the door and gave us our flight wings and escorted us to our seats. We were given our free drink that was a nice orange color but taste was not for me and my friend. We ordered a cosmopolitan and we took off to Tokyo! While in flight we enjoyed the ambiance and then the martini cart came by and we ordered a dirty martini. Not the best martini I've ever had, but not bad. They have a dedicated bartender, a pilot that provides fun updates throughout the flight and flight attendants decked out in 60's style uniforms. It's a fun experience. Not cheap, but fun! read more

Me and my best friend tried this place out and it's super cute !!! You check in at wren then take you to a bar around the corner ! It was super cute love the atmosphere and vibe was adorable ! We dressed up for the occasion! It's a bit pricy but the whole experience is worth it ! The only reason for 4/5 is the tacos were all meat options and I'm half vegetarian so a fish or chicken would have been nice. But still overall experience was very nice !! read more

We had such a fun night at Carry On. We knew exactly what to expect going in, and it completely delivered. When you arrive, you check in at Wren and Wolf to get your boarding pass, then walk around the corner to the Carry On door. They open the door promptly at boarding time and everyone boards together. Once inside, you're seated and greeted with a welcome cocktail that isn't overly sweet. It's really fun that all the staff are dressed like pilots and flight attendants. When the flight begins, the windows of the plane appear to open and you see different views as you travel during the experience. The ambience inside is super cool, and the attention to detail is impressive....you even know when someone is using the restroom! This weekend's route was NYC to Tokyo, and I loved the themed cocktails. The chocolate martini was fantastic, and my husband really enjoyed their version of a Penicillin cocktail. A tip for getting tickets: you need to sign up for Carry On well in advance so you receive the ticket drop email that comes on Sundays. Then on Monday morning you log in to purchase your time slot (around 10 AM). I recommend logging in about 20-30 minutes early to get in the queue. There are only a few booths for four people, so if you're booking for a party of four, definitely try to grab tickets early. There seemed to be more openings for tables of two. One thing to keep in mind: there is no food offered (unless you buy the upgraded experience) so I recommend eating before you go. They do provide some wasabi peanuts at take off and a couple of cookies at the end, but that's it. We knew that ahead of time, so we were prepared. Overall, it was a great experience and we would absolutely do it again when they offer a new destination. read more

Pretty challenging snagging these reservations, but we got them. Very cute themed bar! I didn't know what to expect but this was pretty cool. We boarded the plane, greeted with a welcome cocktail and water. The pilot made announcements and we took off to the "North Pole". It def feels like you're inside of a plane... from the windows to the inside airplane noises. Ordered an Old Fashioned and took one sip..... (I'll explain below) We visited the speakeasy inside of Wren and Wolf AND had dinner/drinks at W&W. So Carry-On was our last stop (all connected)... without saying too much, we made the adult decision to leave before the flight "landed". Too much fun and too many drinks prior. ;-) read more

We happen to go to this when it was Christmas themed so we were flying to the north pole and the signature drinks were all Christmas weather related. Because I can't do lactose very well I got the dairy free option and boy was it really good? My friend got the regular stuff and I was really jealous of the Fromager D'Affinois. The bites were good, but definitely not enough for a meal The only thing I didn't like about the hoax is that the majority of them were Miss Keller tequila related, which is not an alcohol that I like it all The kissing Santa Claus was good, but the sweater weather was just OK The martini was really good so definitely get a martini when they do the martini service. It was a fun experience and hopefully I get to do it again read more

This is such a special experience! They did an incredible job with the atmosphere to make it seem like you're actually on a flight. The cocktails are insane- so yummy. The service is pretty good and we loved the pilots announcements. We've been during a regular flight as well as during Christmas and it was worth going again during the holiday as they made some fun holiday additions. I was worried about getting reservations since there were five of us, but then realized with five or more you can pre-reserve which took away my stress! Only complaint is that it gets too loud with a full house. read more

I really enjoyed my visit at the Carry On Bar. Their attention to detail was impressive. We did the NYC to Tokyo flight and the immersive experience was very cool. The drink menu and the wasabi peanuts were fun. The martini happy hour was enticing but I was already feeling my two drinks. Service was excellent and the vibes were a 10! Definitely a fun thing to do in Downtown Phoenix. Since they give you a lapel pin to commemorate your flight it makes me want to explore the other itinerary options. read more

Carry On is a unique immersive adventure that's absolutely worth experiencing at least once. Over the course of 90 minutes you're transported on a fun journey through themed "destinations," while sipping on classic cocktails and enjoying light snacks. The airplane-inspired setting--complete with fully costumed staff--adds just the right touch to make it perfect for a memorable date night or a fun outing with family and friends. We were especially excited to try the martinis, but were let down to find a few of the menu items were unavailable--even though we were on the first "flight" of the day. Still, the atmosphere and concept were so creative that it made for a truly entertaining escape. read more

The experience was great! I finally got to mark it off of my bucket list. The setup and ambiance was really nice. It was like being on an actual private jet or flight. From the check in, the flight attendant uniforms, and the windows displaying views as if you are in the air, made the experience even more realistic. However, I was a little disappointed, because I thought I saw something on the website about then serving lite appetizers, so I did not eat before arriving. I was not able to enjoy the delicious looking creative drinks like I wanted, because I had no food on my stomach. Empty stomach and alcohol is not a good combination. read more

Well the experience was awesome...I mean, absolutely awesome. We paid 25 bucks per person for a 90-minute "flight" from NYC to Tokyo, Japan. As you walk through the boarding doors, you receive your tickets and are then seated by the flight attendants. We had a welcome drink... non-alcoholic for me, of course. The seats vibrate as we take off from NYC, and we start cruising at 37000 feet. We order our main drinks which included a non-alcoholic drink for the wife since the welcome drinks were a bit strong for her...LOL!! The next phase involves receiving some wonderful wasabi peanuts, which were actually pretty good considering I don't really like peanuts. We ran into some "turbulence." However, during that time, they played "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins. For the youngsters reading this, ask your parents about this...LOL!! While that was happening, the flight attendants brought mini cards with Martini options, but only a couple of passengers wanted them. I had to use the restroom and of course it was just like an airplane restroom but bigger...LOL!! When I returned to my seat, we were treated to a sweet treat (black and white cookie). It was pretty good, and we enjoyed it as we made our final descent into Tokyo. Last call time for drinks, we settled our tab, and we landed safely in Tokyo. The captain and the staff were awesome, and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this establishment if you need something to do in downtown Phoenix. Eat, Drink, and Be Merry, my Friends!!! read more

This is really a cute concept, but for some reason, I remember leaving feeling slightly disappointed? Don't get me wrong. It's cute and you really do feel like you're in a plane. I'm not sure what it was, but something just left me feeling a little meh! You have to pay $50 per person to reserve a spot. That includes a drink for each person. My bill came out to $118 and that did not include the hundred dollars that I paid for the reservation. I'm just not sure 200 bucks was worth it. Would I go back? No. This was part of my 60th birthday celebration and spending $200 for drinks wasn't worth it. read more

This was a really fun night out. My MIL booked this for us and we had such a great experience. She missed it but you pick up your tickets at Wren & Wolf. From the moment we stepped onboard we were treated to great customer service. All of the flight attendants were really nice and made sure we were good. The starting drink was tasty as were all of the other drinks we ordered. The cookies were sooooo good. So good! Our total time in was about 90 minutes, they start and stop on time. You get the flight experience with the announcements and shaky seats if you're seated in a booth. The pictures in the window simulate an actual plane ride and add to your experience. The "cabin" area is fairly small with only about 12 or so tables. Plan ahead if you're thinking about going but definitely go. It was so much fun. read more

Everything about Carry On was AMAZING!!!! The next time I come to Phoenix I probably will do this again. You need tickets for this plane themed bar and you have to book in advance. The ambiance of it all was incredible. Everything mimics the airplane. I was called a couple days ahead of my booking to see if I'd be willing to change my reservation time, as the system had overbooked for the slot I had originally booked. As a reward for picking a different slot, I was upgraded to the Captain's Club! I'm so grateful that it ended up working out that way because the experience was just so satisfying. The drinks were some of the best drinks I've had! They didn't skimp out on the alcohol! You really do get what you pay for! I don't eat lobster or crab and the chef accommodated me by modifying my light bites. There's so much I could say about this place but you literally have to go and experience it for yourself! 10/10 I definitely recommend! read more

I think carry on lives up to the hype Here's my thoughts. From the second you "check in," you're transported- complete with turbulence, mood lighting, cute branding and cocktail carts. I went with the Captain's Club ($100/person) which includes: Welcome cocktail + snacks 3 craft cocktails of your choice 4-course tasting menu ... and IMO, it's totally worth it if you're planning on having a few drinks each. Pro tip: Do the martini service. They roll out the cart like you're in first class and shake it tableside. Food-wise, it could use some work tbh. And they are small bites so don't expect this to be a full meal. King Crab Louie - fresh + delicious Lobster Arancini - more cheese than lobster, and a little cold Oaxacan Beef Crostini - flavorful but cold bread threw it off White Chocolate Passionfruit Tart - dreamy and paired perfectly with cocktails Fave drinks: - The Vodka Drink, Pornstar Martini (from the martini cart!), Old Fashioned. But The Newgroni was a skip for me Whether you go all in with the Captain's Club or stick with general boarding ($40 for 2 guests w/ welcome drink + snack), it's a super fun, super unique night read more

Reservations are all online, which opens the Monday at 10am before you want to set it for and the links are sent on Sunday. It's by the tables of 2, 3, or 5 so round up or reserve multiple tables if need be (though you can contact them for parties Iarger than 6). Unlike The Trophy Room, this deposit is not applied to the final bill - this deposit does however include a welcome cocktail (not of your choosing, it's a strawberry bubbly drink), peanuts (with 2 seasonings - a plain and a Cajun one), and a shortbread cookie for each person. You'll check in with the hostess of Wolf and Wren and the reservation is a neat boarding pass where you'll go around the corner to "board the plane." A enamel pin is also included and they do validate parking in their parking structure (Two Renaissance) for 2-3 hours I can't recall. The interior is pretty spectacular and the bartenders and servers are dressed up as pilots and flight attendants. The concept goes from a domestic to international destination so for this route, it went from SFO to Mexico City. 2 main comments: -- Of all the destinations in the world, it's a bit disappointing they chose Mexico City which is right south of our border. They said they'll change destinations every year so hope there's a better change in scenery for the next journey. -- Missed huge opportunity to offer a "flight of drinks" (or even liquor from the destination i.e. tequila for Mexico City) to go with the theme. I tried suggesting it to the bartender and he kinda scoffed and said I could open my own plane bar and do it better... Drinks were decent, but I'd only come for a special occasion as this was pricy and service could be improved. read more

Oh how I wish I could rate this more than 5 Stars! Had the best time at Carry On an immersive cocktail experience in PHX! Combining my love of travel and cocktails it was a flight I'm glad I didn't miss! Imagine yourself in first class on a jumbo jet in the 1970s. Brown leather. FAs in gogo outfits and boots. Pilots in aviators. All the comforts of first class. Combine that with modern day takes on classic cocktails and you have an experience unlike any other. Interactive screens take you on a flight from SFO-MMX in 90 minutes. The vibrations give it an actual airplane feel. Every detail made the experience that much more like being in first class. The cocktails were divine! Such a great spin on the classics and brining the 1970s to modern day. Enjoyed the city specialties as well. Peanuts and cookies were nice touches as well. I appreciated them as I like a little nibble when I drink. Everyone could not have been nicer! I haven't seen a group of people thoroughly enjoy their jobs like I did at Carry On. The whole experience was top notch! I can't recommend it enough if you're in the PHX area and are able to snag this hard to come by boarding pass! read more

There's not much I need to say about Carry On that hasn't been said by USA Today, the James Beard Awards or North America's 50 Best Bars. The airplane-themed bar is a one-of-a-kind experience in Phoenix, if not the country. Designed to look like the interior of a 1970s plane, Carry On's experience begins before you even open the door. After checking in at the counter, guests are allowed into the body of the plane, which is intimate, stylish and period-accurate. Servers wear groovy retro stewardess dresses, while bartenders are dressed like pilots. The "flight" goes between San Francisco and Mexico, and for the duration of your journey, you're served excellent cocktails while you look out the windows of the plane and chat with your companions. I'm partial to fruity, sweet drinks, so I love the Pink Squirrel, Blue Hawaiian and the Harvey Wallbanger. The Jungle Bird is sweet as well, but quite strong. Near the end of your 90-minute experience, the servers come around with the drink cart and make tableside martinis. I always get the Porn Star martini. The Carry On experience is not cheap, and reservations are hard to get--you have to log on at 10 a.m. Monday morning to try to get one. Also, be advised that there is virtually no food served--a small bowl of nuts at the beginning and two tiny cookies at the end. Carry On is a truly unique drink experience, and one that I recommend to everyone. read more

What a fantastic experience with Carry On Airlines. My husband and I have been trying to snag tickets to this speakeasy for months. We booked the last flight to Tokyo at 9:30pm, and it was pleasantly turbulent :) Let me give you some insight about the experience prior to boarding. The bar is located around the corner from Wren & Wolf. You actually have to check in at Wren & Wolf to grab your boarding pass. Parking is a little hectic, but that is to be expected downtown. There is a garage right beside the restaurant, and I believe Wren & Wolf validates for tha garage, but we ended up parking at a garage near the Renaissance Hotel for $5 per hour, totaling $10 for our time there. After grabbing our boarding pass, we waited in line for a few minutes and then boarded the plane. The flight attendants served us a fruity coconut welcome cocktail, accompanied with ginger & soy peanuts. They were delicious, my husband tore them up. After the flight attendants went over our safety guidelines, we were on our way to Tokyo. The bar is absolutely stunning, gorgeous, immaculate. The flight animations were so realistic, at one point I thought I was actually traveling across the country. The music was incredible, my type of playlist for sure. The drinks were amazingly crafted, spirit forward, and had great presentation. Unfortunately, there were a few drink that were not available on our flight, but we didn't even care because the experience was amazing. Halfway through the flight, it was "Martini Hour", and the flight attendants pushed out carts and made our cocktails table side. We were also given a delicious cookies to pair with our drinks. I loved everything about Carry On, and can't wait to book my next flight! read more

I've been to a few speakeasy bars but this is my new favorite. It is hard to get reservations but now I understand. It is a small intimate space so they can only accommodate so many people. If you are able to get reservations, I don't think you will be disappointed. I enjoyed every minute of the experience. From getting the boarding pass, to boarding, to getting our drinks, to landing. The stewardesses and pilots made the experience that much better. The drinks and food were also good. We did the SF to Mexico City flight so we enjoyed some delicious tacos during our flight. I definitely would recommend going to Carry On. read more

My husband and I went after we had dinner at Wren & Wolf (which is fabulous fyi) that's where you check in to get your boarding pass. You sign up to receive Carry On's email notifications to join the Que for tickets, which go on sale every Monday at 10am for the following week. I had tried a few times to get tickets and it was always sold out, this time I got lucky. The process is frustrating, but it's a popular experience so I suggest just sticking with it. For $40 we purchased a boarding pass for 2 passengers. That included 2 welcome drinks, 2 bowls of peanuts (one plain and one spicy) and two short bread cookies. You also get 2 Wing pins for nostalgia. But it's really about the experience and they didn't skip any details! The flight attendants check you in and you're immediately transported back to the 60's and 70's. The plane is sleek, sophisticated, and retro! It seats about 30 passengers at tables of different sizes depending on your boarding pass. Our two top table had such an intimate vibe. The bar is at the front of the plane and the captain is the bar tender! The welcome drink was a tequila watermelon drink. It was actually pretty good. My husband ordered an old fashion to start and then had a Manhattan when they came around for "Martini Time!" I had a dirty martini with blue cheese olives. We both enjoyed our drinks. The drink menu is unique and on theme. They have San Francisco theme drinks and Mexico City theme drinks. We loved "Martini Time" when the flight attendants came around with the Martini carts, such a fun table side presentation like they did back then. Some might think the cocktails are on the pricier side but it's a cocktail experience so they were the price we expected. The windows of the plane were showing our actual flight from San Francisco to Mexico City the entire time, which was super cool. When we took off we flew over the Golden Gate Bridge. The seats on the plane actually vibrate and hum making you feel like you're flying and experiencing turbulence. The details of it all are what made this experience 5 stars! There are so many...The Captain comes over the speaker a few times and is very clever, the bathroom is even set up like an airplane bathroom (but much bigger,) the check comes in a passport, etc... The whole experience is 90 mins. It's a MUST do at least once!! For a date night, special occasion, night out with your bestie. We had a great time! read more

If I could give this place negative stars I would. First off, in order to book a reservation, you must wait for an email to invite you to "wait". Once you receive the email after months of already waiting, you are then directed to some third party page to guess what? wait in line .. it could be an hour. (Mine was) Then, as soon it's "your turn" it's supposed to redirect you to the official page, only to find that there was an error, and you are put back in line. To guess what? WAIT AGAIN! You go on the website and try to find a contact number to no availability. NOPE Nope nope. No bar is worth the headache of this madness. Shitty reservation system. There are way too many beautiful in the valley now that I could spend my money at. Without that nonsense. read more

This place is great. The only downside is trying to get a reservation every week at 10:00 AM on a Monday, which can be really difficult for some work schedules. The inside is beautiful and definitely gives you the feeling of a being in a 70s airplane. The service was outstanding and they were on top of everything. I loved getting a welcome cocktail and seasoned nuts as soon as we sat down. Every drink we tried was delicious and all the little details were fun, like the penguin shaker that they left on the table for the martini. Even the bathroom continued the airline theme. This is definitely worth making an effort to try out if you can. read more

Finally got tickets for the sought after event and also made it for the holiday flight. You are greeted and seated in the cute plane type atmosphere. They offered a small drink and tamales for the table. Nothing to write home about on the items included in the ticket package. Each one of us tried a couple of the drinks on the menu. They were tasty, but so was the price tag. It was nice to have a booth for the group of four but we all agreed its a one and done experience. read more

10/10 I saw this on Instagram and I knew I had to experience it in person. It 100% lives up to the hype. One thing I didn't think about was making reservations, so make your reservations as early as possible to ensure you are a valid ticket holder for the flight. If you forget, don't fret, check the website frequently for standby tickets. We happened to snag a table for two the day before departure. Our flight was San Fran to Mexico City. I love the rumbling to simulate actual flight. The visual nods to each destination out side of our windows was amazing. The cocktails were also first class. You get a small taster when you first board, a full range of cocktails in flight, and even a martini bar cart during the flight. All of our cocktails were expertly crafted and we had a spectacular time. read more

Going to the trophy room so often, I heard about carry on opening up and was DYING to go to the point I had their social media pages to notify me when they posted so I wouldn't miss it however, I FINALLY went on 10/28 which is a long time to wait but wow was it worth it. Between the amazing snacks, the stewardesses wearing my favorite fashion statements and the overall vibe of the plane!? Truly iconic. Next time I'm doing the captains club add on because I am coming back and I am enjoying every single part of it they have to offer read more
