Really good drinks and there are some really unique ones - the Kyoto in Winter came in a very cute teacup, for example! There's a decent mocktail selection, which I appreciated as the DD. We really loved the Knotty Boyz (Garlic Parmesan) - if we hadn't eaten recently we might've ordered more to share!

I have been thinking about this place since I dined here for the first time…read more Fast-paced service and great pizza slices are $3 on happy hour. I tried the Korean BBQ pizza which was really good. They had a special pizza...The Baked Potato. So happy they offer slices to try. This was pretty tastey with the seasoned potatoes on it. I particularly appreciated that they did not over potato the slice lol. The best part about the pizza in general is that the crust is light and soft. I usually prefer heavy cheese on my pizza but their was just right. I tried the Son of a B*t@# I'm In cocktail that is on happy hour for $10. The simple yet clean ingredients caught my eye...gin, aperol, elderflower, lime l, and honey made for a very refreshing drink. Also, I've been on a kick to enjoy cocktails with no ice, so this was perfect.

This last time I went to Swizzle it was on a Saturday night and I didn't get there until 10pm and it was off the chain with no where to park or sit. When people get talking it is really loud inside and you can't hear the touchtunes. People were getting wild and that was super fun. There was a also a little food stand outside in the parking lot, which is really good for a bunch of drinking folks!!

Swizzle is the kind of dive bar you hope to stumble into -- and never want to leave…read more Plenty of TVs with every game on, great prices, and a laid-back crowd that makes it easy to relax and have fun. The staff here absolutely crush it -- friendly, quick with a drink, and they make you feel like a regular even if it's your first time walking in. The place has that perfect dive-bar charm: cool lighting, fun decor, and just the right amount of energy without feeling overcrowded. Tonight they even had a food contest going on, which made the whole night a blast. Honestly, I've seen a few of those one-star reviews and can't help but think those folks must've had a bad day -- because Swizzle is exactly what a neighborhood bar should be: chill, affordable, and full of good vibes. If you're looking for a spot to watch the game, hang with friends, or just unwind after work, this is it. Swizzle is an easy five stars.

I googled "bars in or around Arcadia" and this gem popped up and I am so glad we checked this place out! We will most definitely be back. We had to check twice that we ended up in the right spot as it looks so inconspicuous from the outside but don't let it fool you. This place slaps if you're a cocktail connoisseur. Don't forget to pull up their secret menu. Their bartender was legit--the type of guy that could make any cocktail based on what spirit you like--which is phenomenal. The vibes and ambience were immaculate. We added it to our list of places to keep on REPEAT when in PHX. Check this place out!

Just 3 but that is enough for me! I am a pinball junkie!! Overall the service is quick and pleasant despite how many people were there. RIPS has all kinds of people, young and old, normal and off the wall and everything in between!! The only negative was that the patio was a smoking den -- My hair and clothes smelled so bad the next day and it was really hard to find a small corner of the patio that wasn't smoked out. I will definitely be back for this dance party -- every 3rd Saturday.

Hey man, this place was a welcome surprise. Came here on the late night while staying in Biltmore…read more It seemed like everything else in the area closed at 10 PM. We were hungry settled on this place to meet a friend for drinks. Service was great. It's small narrow what I would describe as a faux dive bar. They have cigarette machines with Zen and vapes in them. They were playing hip-hop. It gave off very millennial vibes. Food was good especially the Glizzy menu. And the fries taste hand cut, and fresh. I had the chili dog fries we also had some potato skins and some delicious hot wings. Staff service was great. Be warned the place is small. Great for an intimate gathering with some friends.

This is a 5 star experience IF you go in with the right expectations and understanding of the…read moreestablishment. This is a DIVE BAR with local regulars and a vibe that is protected by them. The regulars are Phoenicians who have been coming here for years, and in my opinion, it's one of the few remaining places that hasn't been overrun/changed by the massive population influx in Phoenix. Therefore, the regular patrons have a deep respect and love for this establishment and its people. In other words, don't F with the vibe. Enjoy yourself, but seriously be mindful of the environment. I say this because the staff will swiftly let you know with a verbal reprimand or even just by kicking you out. For example, they don't do takeout. Do not ask. And when they tell you no, do not ask again. That being said, do not expect white glove, highly attentive service. The service is good enough, and that's all that matters. It's a busy establishment and yes you will wait a bit for your food. AGAIN, when you understand the expectations, this can be a fun and highly enjoyable experience, but you have to understand where you are and what it is. Regarding the food, incredible. I stick with the wine burger and the wings with the secret sauce. Absolutely amazing food and the prices are stupid cheap. I'm completely serious when I say this is easily one of the best burgers in Phoenix. The burger is done right, and I really appreciate it. The wine burger kind of melts in your mouth and the portions are huge. Be nice, be observant, tip heavy, temper your service/timing expectations, and you'll enjoy a true local Phoenix spot. It is absolutely worth it.

Not acknowledging us my dad walks up to the bar. The lady yells just sit. Just sit wherever. So we sit down. The next person walks in and they do not look like us. They are immediately greeted and asked how they are doing today. At that moment, I realized we were not welcomed and we walked out. This is a bar with limited lighting and loud music. Unfortunate that we didnt get to try your yummy looking burgers but I did not feel safe in this establishment.
