I can understand the allure of this tequila bar if you and one friend happen to go in there at just the right moment. Not too slow or not too busy. If you like mezcal like me they have lots of options, almost too much and probably collecting dust on the shelves. Quite literally there were staff dusting the donkey off while I sat, watched, and waited for someone to take my order. Apparently we had a waitress. She randomly walked by and said she was checking on us with a smile but she didn't serve us at all until we were ready to pay. So, I honestly didn't know who the tip was for but I really don't feel she earned it. If anything the bartender was there the whole time and didn't reappear just for the last interaction. Stopped by Ghost Donkey on a slow rainy Sunday. Unfortunately felt robbed when my friend and I ordered the nachos. They got to us cold because from where I was sitting, a booth across the kitchen window, I could see that they had been sitting out! No bell to let the floor staff know that it was ready to be served. Also, where was the floor staff? They were there when we walked in but they didn't greet us and we had to wait until the bartender finally made eye contact with us to order from him. I only got two chips, because my friend was hungry and I said I just didn't want to eat them since there was so little. He said I had to try, because shouldn't nachos be made to share? This looked like a portion for a two year old. The salsas were good and pickled onion but are just going to get throw away. What a waste of food. $11 plus tax for eight chips, I cried. read more

Ghost Donkey??? Um yes please. My wife and I went with another couple at 6:30pm on a Friday, which was perfect because it was before the rush. Although small, it felt the perfect size, the decor was beautiful and the music was great. Every drink we tried was a modern take on a classic that we thought were superior. We can't wait to come back next time we are in Phx, and next time we will try the food. If you want a great Sonoran cocktail experience, this is a must try. read more

Super cute vibe inside. The inside is way smaller then I thought. It's first come seating so we stood for a little before sitting at a table. I got a Paloma which I didn't care for at all but the second drink I got (can't remember the name) was really good. Cute place to stop by for a drink or two. Our server was super sweet and attentive too! read more

Vibes are off the charts and the bartenders are super cool and hospitable. The mushroom cocktail was my favorite till the bartender served me the beet/dill/mezcal cocktail. read more

Really cute place and staff was very hospitable. But I ordered chips and guacamole and the chips were so stale I could only have 2 bites, I had also ordered tacos and cancelled that order because if you can't get tortilla chips right, it's likely the tacos wouldn't be good either. The 2 bites of guac though were good. read more

After going to Palma for cocktails, we stopped by ghost donkey which was just next-door. I ordered a frozen margarita which was part of their happy hour special. The margarita was too tart in flavor. The bartender was friendly, but was the only one working that night so took a while to get an order in. I love all the lights inside this bar, however there's very limited seating. read more

First time visiting, we went on a Saturday afternoon. It's definitely more of a Evening place, but I heard about this place and was in the area and wanted to try. My mom and I def felt old lol, at least during the day time. The decor is really cute and I love the ceiling color changing lights. We sat a table but you need to walk up to the bar to order, not a problem, just noting. Very interesting menu, lots of ingredients you wouldn't think of. Over priced in my opinion- 2 drinks that were in the smaller glasses, and with a $5 tip came out to $33. Wouldn't come back. read more

Only tried the drinks but so good and didn't disappoint! The decor is so fun and the service was good. Parking was annoying but just because it was in downtown. Definitely coming back read more

Great cocktails and location was central Phoenix. Just be careful exiting the bars as people are stumbling around the streets trying to catch a ride share (which is a good thing - instead of driving impaired), just noting for those that choose to drive there and home to drive slowly around the area. Moscow Mule and anything tequila is good! read more

Super cute inside, love the lights and the decor! We went for happy hour (burracho hour) and just got a drink each and tostada nachos and it was a nice escape from the heat. The bartender was also really nice and let me try the mezcal and their stealth margarita before I committed to a drink! I also didn't realize they had multiple locations and I would def go back and check out a diff location too! read more

Ghost Donkey is a small cocktail bar that serves fantastic agave cocktails, appetizers and tacos. I would describe the decor as modern speakeasy taqueria, and very tastefully done. While booths and seat are comfortable, the bar is where you most want to be seated. The bartenders know their craft well, and will even make you drinks "off-menu", if you request. Of the drinks I tried, I'd say the Burro Tropical was my favorite, and you even get a plastic burro adornment as a garnish, that's yours for the keeping. Ghost Donkey is a cocktail bar that should be included in your rotation, whenever you're down near the Phoenix Arts District/Roosevelt Row! read more

I was contacted by management regarding my negative experience and I am very impressed by how it was handled. The general manager, Ben, was kind, communicative, and apologetic. read more

Dive bar with a flare lol. A lot of Reggaeton, which I loved a lot of of 2000 classics I loved. Service was great. Everyone was really attentive and I really appreciate that. The drinks were strong. Everyone was having a good time. The crowd wasn't too rowdy but they were still having fun. The bathroom lines are a little too long for my liking but other than that it was still a good time. read more

Go for aesthetics, but stay for the drinks. They have an amazing mezcal and tequila menu, not to mention expertly crafted cocktails. We were recently there during their "Blitzen" holiday phase, and I had the seasonal drink called Papi Noel. It was excellent - fruity, smoky, and strong. They also have appetizer-style food, but we have never tried it. The music is great, too. The Latin vibe is strong, and the place is a feast for the eyes. read more

Fun place to hang with all the lights! Def get a margarita and the mole chicken tacos!!! Good service since the wait staff will come around and check on you. read more

Upon entry things seemed normal and welcoming. Seating is very limited but the bartenders immediately serve you. Seating is first come first serve unless the front door greeter changed her mind. This is where this place lost me. I won't be back. It's clear if you don't look a better way you won't be treated well. Keep walking and find a much better and welcoming location. read more

Super cute little bar! Decorated very nicely. They fit in a good amount of seating for a small space. Drinks are good! Staff is nice.

Drinks - yummy and strong. Decent happy hour. Vibe - I love it if u want to have a good time! Reggaetón and Mexican music put you in the party mood. Good place to pregame. Space - small, and cozy, some dark and some lighted parts. Bar is cool. They need to fix the water faucet in the south restroom. Customer service- servers are always super friendly. Food - light snacks, don't go there for them, they're not the best. read more

Chill, unpretentious atmosphere unlike some other places in Downtown PHX. The drinks and food are good. Prices are reasonable. Came on a Sunday afternoon and plenty of seating available. read more

Again, good things to say. The waitress was super helpful for our first time being here. Explained drinks to us. The food was just snacks had chips and gucamaol and nachos. It was good just for a snack. The drinks were strong, but good this is a chill hang out. Great drink selection for all if you love tequila. read more

I really like this bar, I wish so badly it was a bit bigger because there's not much room to dance. However the vibes are top here. The drinks were also so good and the staff are eager to help you out. Definitely a place to go at least once! read more

This small and hip bar is a good place to grab a craft cocktail. We had a couple of drinks with tequila and mezcal which were pretty good. I'd come back for another drink and to try the food. read more

A cute little donkey came with my drink, so I'm happy. Great atmosphere, food, and service

What a fun date night! I chose this spot because of "welcome to arizona" and what a great experience. These aesthetics of the bar are so inviting-the ceiling lights, the entrance donkey. The drinks! Wow! So good! I had the burro tropical-not too sweet just enough tequila. The steak and beans nachos-so yummy and but so need more steak. The service was so attentive even after it began to get meow busy. Oh! And the music! Had me dancing the entire time! I honestly loved this spot! It's been hard to find a spot that is similar to a "Miami vibe" (I'm a Miami native). The bartenders and servers were attentive and so welcoming. I definitely recommend for happy hour! Or a bar hopping option! Hope you enjoy! read more

This is the bar that downtown Phoenix needed. I stumbled upon this place because I was waiting for a table next door at Palma so we walked in here for a drink. It was a Friday night so it was very busy but I just loved the vibes. They play such fun music like cumbias and reggeaton which is a nice change. It's a fun little bar and I recommend making reservations. You will love it if you are a tequila lover like me. read more

immaculate vibes, I went on a friday night and it wasn't too packed. my only complaint is, I'm more of a beer girl and the only mexican beer on the menu is modelo. you would think a mexican bar would offer more than one mexican beer. it wasn't a deal breaker for me though, the music selection was on point and the mixed drinks looked good too. read more

First time coming to this bar, I'm very satisfied with the experience. I came on a Friday evening around 7 pm, just to have a few drinks, we got free samples of a frozen margarita, the food was satisfying, colorful interior, good music, and the bartender, I think was Austin? Sorry I don't remember the name, was very nice and attentive. He even gave us an extra that was no longer wanted by another customer. Very content with the first time experience here at this location :) read more
