Cool spot! The ambiance is really awesome! Visiting from out of town and read reviews about how cool the happy hour was, hand crafted cocktails and specialty beer. They are in between menus so the 2.50 off specialty menu is out of the question! We asked the bartender for their special drinks and they couldn't serve us them because they didn't have a menu. read more

we had a terrific time here. We showed up for the cocktails and the bartender was amazing, I had the most incredible house drink. My husband had a martini. we really wanted to go upstairs, but they were having a private party so we hung out downstairs and ended up meeting some folks at the bar and had the most wonderful conversation! I can't wait to go back and check out the rooftop and hang out more. I had my heart set on some of the waffle fries, but I wasn't hungry. Darn those looked great! read more

One of my favorite and best bars in downtown Phoenix. I've been coming here since 2019. Really proud of their success and how they have blossomed throughout these years. Sazerac is known for their drinks, cigars and great vibes. The service also never fails - we love Marc, he makes the best drinks!

Drinks are good, easy going crowd here. Pricing is about average for downtown bars. There is a smidge of downtown attitude which is funny as hell considering I've lived in Phoenix over twenty years and there was not much of anything to do back then and you needed to pack heat to walk at night. So I chuckle when I meet people that say I live downtown. I'm like go on? Lol The staff is hit or miss. My last visit I had a staff member cut in front of me at the well to wipe down the counter. Not sure what the deal was with that. All in all a fun place to go amongst various downtown venues read more

We had a bar we wanted to try last night but there was a huge line out the door so we decided to try sazerac instead as we walked past it. Glad we did! It is a cool inside/outside bar. Love that they have the food truck. I was wanting a fancy cocktail, so we looked on the website and the drink I got had no name by it so we just showed the bartender the picture and asked what was in it haha. My drink had mezcal and blackberry, I don't remember what else, but it was really delicious. My husband got a beer. Bartender was attentive even with the big crowd. They had some fun music choices here too! read more

Fresh, hip, alternative. There's a baby grand piano! This place is full of a good mix of people- younger crowd, well dressed, good music. The bartenders are attentive and offer fast service. This place has an overall cool, swanky vibe. They've got an excellent beer selection. 30+ beers on tap, plus all the liquor you desire. They've got a patio - it's a secluded more quiet area. Peeps are puffing stogies out there and jamming. Patio is dog friendly and they have a little taco food stand out there as well as another bar for drinks. Check out the bathrooms - they've got some vintage adult magazine cut outs plastered all over the walls. They're interesting, pique your curiosity, and can be graphic. Check them out! read more

If you want to have a night "by any means necessary"... this is the spot! You can start your night here or end it here. Either way, you'll be super happy. From the beautiful ambiance to the friendly, skilled bartenders, to the indoor outdoor options, the cigar service, the fun people, and the very, very, very tasty food truck that's ALWAYS parked outside... this place will not let you down. I like to sit outside, enjoy the weather, meet new people, have a few drinks, and order plenty of food. This is the first place I take my friends when they visit. As a recent transport from NYC, this is a great option to have in my repertoire to keep me busy, happy, and satisfied. Please give them a try. It's a lovely place to try out! read more

If you're looking for the closest thing to a beer garden in Phoenix, Sazerac is it! The outdoor vibe is super laid-back, with string lights and spacious seating that make it the perfect spot to enjoy a casual night out. Service has always been super attentive and they even have free water, which is a thoughtful touch, especially in this Arizona heat. There delicious cocktails and munchies are just one element to the bar where you can also buy cigars right at the bar. It adds a unique feel to the whole experience, and pairs well with their excellent drink selection. The overall vibe is relaxed but stylish. The bathrooms are super quirky and definitely stands out! read more

Got our drinks went out to the patio that has plenty of seating options. We could smell then saw the taco truck and had to try it. The chicken taco's were OUTSTANDING! Just the right amount of spice and a little charred flavor mixed with a pico, cheese and guac were perfection! My taco standard is higher now!

First time in. Street parking only. Semi-classy environment with expensive drinks. Indoor and outdoor options. Small menu snack food available, also expensive. Clean bathrooms, smut art and newspaper decor. A fairly interesting place. The crowd seemed down to earth, although fully-clothed. Everyone was doing their own thing. Unsure if any activities happen here; couldn't find an events calendar. Stiff drink prices for textbook craft cocktails. It's not snooty, but $14 for a four ingredient drink, really? I thought that was just bartending. That being said, they seemed to have a decent beer and cider menu. Still $8 for one beer. We came downtown for dinner and drinks, and out of the three places we went, this was the best. I'd love to like this place more, but ... ? read more

This is one of the most beautiful bars I've seen. The bartender were especially easygoing and friendly, the cocktails were made very well. There's plenty of space, and beautiful lighting in the outdoor courtyard, where they also have a food vendor serving during certain hours. This is a great place to go for a well made drink and good conversations with friendly staff and crowd. This placed saved the night after a first stop at cobra barcode around the corner which was dark, sticky, crowded, uncomfortable, and the bartender that served me was horrible and surly.

Everything about this place is five stars, except the wait to get a drink. Friends and I stood around in line for ten minutes and it wasn't because of anything the bartenders did wrong. I'd still say it's worth it, even on a crowded Friday night. I had the sage gimlet and it was the best cocktail I've had in Phoenix, and for less than $10. I tried a sip of a friend's smoking berries and it was also good- tastes how it sounds. Another time I'll actually try a Sazerac- I heard rave reviews. They don't seem to have much of a food menu, so don't expect to come here for dinner, but they have a lot of liquid options. The best part of this place is the spacious outdoor patio. Even if it's cool at night, they have good heaters and a great atmosphere. Inside is a little loud but outside works very well for hanging out and actually talking to your friends instead of yelling at them. The crowd the place attracts seemed reasonably varied in age, from early twenties groups to middle aged couples. Time will tell if it leans more one way or the other after it's been open longer, but I don't see why anyone wouldn't want to go here. Its only drawback is that it's not a particularly well kept secret for Friday nights. read more

I've lived in downtown Phoenix for nearly 5 years. I frequent several of the surrounding bars and restaurants ... this place used to be staple go to but has severely gone down hill. The vibe is not welcoming and the staff are ego maniacs. It's gotten worse over time. Recently friends and I went there on a slower evening and the staff seemed almost annoyed to be there. Friends and I ordered a round of drinks and we stepped outside for a conversation. We went back in and got the next round. While ordering I interacted with 2 women at the bar. We had a fun interaction and I rejoined my friends. Eventually went back to the bar to close out and one of the bartenders quickly came around from the back of the bar and said " you have to leave". I was completely puzzled and asked him why, he said "they don't want to talk to you". Unbeknownst to me, apparently who I interacted with (which I thought was fun light hearted interaction) wasn't what it seemed... I said "that's fine I have no problem not talking to someone I'm just curious why it didn't seem that way from them and why I would be asked to leave for having a conversation with someone" After a short interaction the bartender turned bouncer seemed surprised I was reasonable and nice to him and said he would "let me stay" but not to talk to the 2 women i earlier had a short and (from what I thought) pleasant get to know you conversation... however we ended up leaving shortly after anyway... This is a specific experience but many of the interactions with the staff and the vibe in the place have been similarly awkward and distasteful. I highly recommend several other locations in the area which are much more inviting and the staff don't make it their own little popularity contest to dictate "who" you can and can't talk to. It's one thing when you're making away around a room, you won't get along with everyone, and if your even single and looking to flirt you don't win every interaction... but when the staff threatens to kick you out for taking to someone, that's just ridiculous . read more

Is your patio 420 friendly?

Pursuant to A.R.S. § 36-2853(C), it is still unlawful for a person to smoke marijuana in a public place or open space.

Are there any low tables on the patio or all they all high tops?

Thank you for the question. Our patio contains low top tables along with the high top tables.

I heard cigars are allowed at this establishment. Do they have a selection to purchase and can you bring your own sticks?

Yes, we have a wide selection for purchase. We ask that you purchase cigars from our selection, they are very reasonably priced. Thanks for Asking!

Is there smoking inside? If yes, is that in a separate area from the rest of the bar? Just wondering with it being a cigar bar.

The smoking area is located outside.

Do they serve any food here?

They do not. They do have a food truck on site on certain nights. I believe they are looking at opening some sort of food venue onsite soon. Not sure when though.… Read more

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.

The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, and you really feel taken care of. Industry Standard is definitely one to put on your bucket list.

Went here without a reservation on a Friday night. The place did not seem busy at any point that we…read morewere there, but we were asked to sit at the bar because of the lack of reservation. This was not an issue, just one that was interesting, though the layout is small and the bathroom door is behind the bar seats, so it isn't the most comfortable location given the tight squeeze with foot traffic. The menu seemed focused on the cocktails, with a mixture of what might be considered and appetizer or main course mixed together. We got the watermelon and cucumber salad to start, thinking it would be refreshing after a long walk there in the heat. Both of us were shocked when the first notes of the watermelon were spicy. We read the menu and then understood that this was not meant to be a light bite. It was very enjoyable, but just a different taste than expected. We also got the Dan Dan Noodles. This had the spice expected. What was interesting was that the spices were almost exactly the same to the watermelon and cucumber salad. Not bad, but we probably would have ordered a different starter. We also ordered the streak bowl and the foccaccia with ricotta. The steak was incredible, and the highlight of the meal. This would have been better with more egg..not sure one full egg wad used? and less rice. The focaccia was warm and the ricotta with honey a nice palate cleanser before and after the meal. Overall, the food was good and the prices reasonable for the types of dishes. The old fashioned had nice herbal notes, and the service was quick.

Pigtails

Another 5 star visit to Pigtails!…read more My husband and I came with my parents to celebrate their birthday Friday night and were wise to make this our first stop on our speakeasy tour of Phoenix! Jack was quick to greet and seat us while Eulalio expertly crafted some delicious mystery shots we requested that even came with a flaming garnish to be treated like birthday candles! We LOVED it!! We arrived during happy hour so we also ordered some oysters and shrimp to graze on, FANTASTIC! The oysters were good but the star of the show? The 6 HUGE shrimps and fresh cocktail sauce.. what a way to start the night! Absolutely fantastic, no notes and totally a must try when you're in the heart of this beautiful city!

This is not how customers should be treated, especially during a first visit. Very disappointing experience.

Once you're let inside a side door you have to lock your phones up. My reaction was "you're kidding, right", then I said, let's do it. You keep the key to your numbered box. This is such a perfect way to disconnect from your phone and have ongoing conversations with no interruption. I kept attempting to show our bartender the activities we did while in Arizona, but forgot I didn't have my phone lol. We had a good ole time with our bartender (male, forgot his name but I've learned he's afraid of heights and won't go on a hot air balloon ride LOL!!). He made this drink something near an old fashioned but it was topped with an entire gingerbread cookie, I had about 3. Oh, and the staff all had on Christmas pajamas as uniform. So cute & comfy! Keep in mind we have no sense of time so we were nervous about being late to our reservations for Wren & Wolf.. the hostess assured us she would come get us and escort us to the table in time. And she did. We weren't finished our last drinks but was able to carry them over to the restaurant.

The quantity was perfect for the party of 2. The food was really fresh, good, meat perfectly…read moremarinated, broth was neutral which let the flavors of the meat and veggies come through. I wish they give the options of mushrooms like Enochi and King Oysters along with extra condiments for the Suki Sauce like Garlic, Chilli and Lime juice. The service was really good and attentive. This place really took me back to the Moo Kra Ta buffets in Bangkok and made me nostalgic. I hope they do have more options in terms of seafood and veggies! I hope the restaurant specifies clearly that the services are on reservation basis only because it isn't clarified anywhere yet. This would help a lot of people. Also, I hope the restaurant informs, directs and put in place about the parking spaces available around. Can't wait to get back already!

Located in Downtown Phoenix, the parking situation is a little hairy. There is paid parking nearby,…read morebut it definitely is better to come a little earlier to scope out the parking situation and get that sorted before your reservation. 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.
