    Had such a fun time here as we were visiting our friends who now live in Phoenix. We had tried to come to this bar a previous time, but reservations fill up fast. Be sure to sign up for there emails prior to wanting to go to secure your spot. The drinks were great and they definitely didn't skimp on the alcohol. We also received fun treats like a black and white cookie and nuts. This bar is definitely an experience and the staff commits to the theme!

    Carry On is amazing! We have been here before but this time we came for the Michelin Star Mexico City tacos and they did not disappoint! The service is always amazing here and the drinks are amazing! We always make an effort to get different drinks and they are always all so dangerously good! It's models as free the top level of a 747 airliner and I think it hits it right on the nose. Very cool and classic ambiance to it. Hard spot to get reservations for but if you do get it, you won't regret it!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    What a fun and unique concept! When I first booked this experience, I thought 90 minutes might feel a little long, but the cabin crew kept everyone entertained the entire time. Between the drinks, light snacks, and Martini time, there was never a dull moment. The playlist was full of bangers and really added to the atmosphere. The welcome drink was just okay, but the rest of the cocktails we ordered were delicious. Overall, such a memorable experience and definitely worth trying!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!!

    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!

    GAONERA Signature Hand-Cut Beef Tenderloin Taco, Seasoned with Lime & Salt.
    Aaron W.

    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

    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!

    Are reservations required?

    Yes

    Is there free parking?

    Yes. You can find free parking downtown, but you'll have to walk a bit. The bar itself does not have parking.

    Are there non-alcoholic cocktail offerings?

    Yes, they do have a few non-alcoholic drinks available.

    Do they sell food? If not, is there a good place near by for food?

    No they don't unless you get the "captains club" but then they just bring you a few "small bites" - you don't get to choose the food. Tons of places nearby, specifically Wren and Wolf but search Cityscape dining and you'll see other places.

    The money you place down for reservations does it go towards your drink bill like the same at wren and wolf?

The space is warm, moody, and inviting--like a lighthearted Western brought to life--with candlelight and rich wooden accents creating an atmosphere that begs you to settle in and stay awhile.

The bartenders were knowledgeable enough to suggest excellent off-menu creations and kept the drinks--including the water--flowing with effortless style and hospitality. The wedge salad was crisp and bright, elevated by thoughtful ingredients like jalapeño bacon and balsamic onions. The crab dip was a standout: packed generously with crab and complemented by just the right amount of cheese, finely chopped red onions, and crispy breadcrumbs. We ended the evening with St. George Absinthe, an absolute gem of an offering. Jake, Brad, and Stormy were kind, attentive, and full of great recommendations without ever feeling pushy or intrusive. We were able to truly enjoy each other's company while feeling genuinely cared for by the staff. Parking in the garage next door was graciously validated at the host stand. We left feeling full, impressed, and already looking forward to returning with family.

It was busy, but not packed, which made the service stand out more than it should have. I had to ask for water twice, never got a refill, and overall felt largely ignored--minimal eye contact, no real warmth, just an impersonal feel that didn't match the space. It felt like a place that may be a bit of a victim of its own success--popularity has grown, but delivery hasn't fully kept pace. Part of the appeal here is the permanent taco truck outside, which I know from past visits is excellent, and I love the truck's outspoken, unapologetic support for immigrants. That said, the cocktail itself was excellent. I was specifically looking for a coffee-based drink before heading to another event, and the Cambures al Estilo Foster delivered on flavor. It was tiny, though--served in a small stemmed glass, gone in a few sips. It did the job, but some may find the portion underwhelming for the price. No major complaints, but nothing pulling me back either. I'm adding a fourth star on a bit of a hunch--I'd like to think they can dial it back in if I return.

Main level/Upstairs vibe is well-lit with a true cantina bar feel. High-top tables, seats at the bar & happy hour from 4-7 pm make it ideal for some $7 drinks!!. The collection of Tequilas is GREAT. Many of which do not contain additives. I won't lie, I thought I was a big fan until I realized I didn't recognize a lot of the tequilas they had on hand. Downstairs is a whole different vibe. Custom craft cocktails, dim lighting with artwork, and more make it feel like an upscale NYC spot in your basement. I did 2 of my favorites, Paloma De Guayaba with the custom block name etched and the Baya Nueva. While in the Cantina, I had to order my friend the Basura (trash), but that wasn't the case... then again, it is served in a plastic bag, and is definitely a throwback to my early 20's of gettin' lit!!!! Always look forward to sharing this place with friends visiting and connecting with those locally.

My party and I had a reservation on a Saturday night at 9pm (when it's 13 people, what can you do). What kind of sucked though (and mainly why I'm deducting a star) is that we did wait an additional half hour to be seated after our reservation time. Our theory is that they didn't think the entire party would actually arrive, and they were not ready to accommodate us. To be fair, the restaurant IS on the smaller side, but there was 0 communication during that half hour on what was going on... which isn't really good for us either. We got the original set, and this somewhat confused me as well. The food was really good, and was definitely a restaurant that I'd go to for the experience, but for some reason some of the meats were doubled while others weren't. The double portions were really nice since our party was so large, we needed to split the food between 4 different grills (so each table got 2 grills each, feeding 6-7 people in total or 3-4 people per grill), but then we had to share the portions where we only got one serving. It wasn't bad, but to me, didn't make sense. The food was really good though; I didn't care too much about the soup, but the green sauce was SO good. Mixing a little with the soup was incredible. I thought the beef and pork were really good. I personally left the restaurant full, but many others in my party did not. I think it's a really good amount of food for 2 people, but when you push to 3+, you probably do not want to come hungry. Also--the live music at Pemberton next door is SO LOUD, you're going to be shouting at your table the entire night when you sit outside. I think I would come back if I wanted to show this place to someone who didn't live here, but it isn't on the top of my list for when I'm trying to eat out, but I will definitely consider this for special date night occasions. It is extremely expensive for what it is though. For $70+ you risk the chance of leaving not full which SUCKS.
