Wow! What a hidden gem?!?!…read more Dive bar vibes meets craft cocktails like from Platform 18...make it make sense! 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!

We shared the spinach dip, truffle fries, buffalo wings, and shrimp tacos, and every single dish was a hit. You can tell they really care about quality and flavor. We also tried their mocktails, which were refreshing and well-crafted. To top it all off, they surprised us with a complimentary sundae for dessert, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the celebration feel even more special. I also loved the vibe...very swanky and upscale with dim lighting and elevated energy. It felt like the perfect setting for a birthday celebration. We left happy, full, and already talking about coming back. Highly recommend!

Food's awesome here too not just drinks, which have weird names btw which makes it embarrassing to order =p Yeah popular place, dimly lit, really nice layout around the bar with cozy couch seating perfect for a date.

Being from the East Coast, it's rare to find a spot that really captures that energy, and Plush does it effortlessly. The friendly service & The music alone makes you want to stay all night. The food and cocktails are consistently good, and the hookah is reasonably priced, which is a huge plus when you're actually trying to enjoy the night without feeling rushed. Everything flows. Nothing feels forced. Whether it's a planned night out or a spontaneous stop, Plush always delivers. It will forever be part of my night outs.

The atmosphere was unique, the bartenders were genuinely engaging, and there was a real sense of community that made every visit memorable. It became my go-to spot to bring friends from out of town and every single person I brought absolutely loved it! Back then, the cocktails felt intentional and creative, not just rushed out for volume. The staff remembered regulars, conversations flowed naturally, and the whole place had this warm, eclectic energy that made you want to stay for hours. Even on busy nights, it somehow still felt personal. Unfortunately, over the last couple of years, the vibe has changed quite a bit. The drinks just aren't as consistently good as they used to be, especially considering the prices now. Service feels far more transactional and impersonal, and the atmosphere that once made this place stand out has faded into something much more generic. It feels less like a neighborhood gem and more like a stop on a nightlife circuit.

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.

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.

Carry On was a great experience for our bachelorette party (or any sort of special occasion,…read morereally)! 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!

Great spot to go have a drink with friends. I'd heard about this place but never been. Easy to miss…read moresince it's a bit tucked away. You can only catch the thunderbird sign on the front window. This place is such a nostalgic place/ the retro walls, the wooden panels, the decorum and games, the lighting, everything. Bob Ross was playing on the television at the front, and the arcade games are classic. There are trophy's on the shelves and some cool "mature" trinkets sprinkled around. The guy behind the bar was swell. He was just chipper and jovial and it was great. I had a house marg (was on special for $7) and my friends had some Mantucky Cold Snacks. He said the crowd is usually such good vibes and that the place is well known for the patio in the back (I didn't get to peek outside before we left!) but I did see some warmers from the inside... seems like a nice wide open space to host groups. Made me happy to bee there with good friends. Will definitely be coming back.

They host different themed events on the weekends, and there's usually no cover unless it's a special event. The vibe is laid-back with a retro dive bar feel, and I've noticed a mix of different types of people there, all seeming to have a good time. The back patio often turns into a dance floor when there's a DJ or music playing. Inside, the space leans heavily into the retro theme. There are a few arcade games, a retro-style phone booth, and a living room area that looks like something straight out of the 70s, which adds to the nostalgic atmosphere. Ordering drinks can be a bit hit or miss. The bar inside can get a long line, and there isn't waitstaff walking around taking drink orders. There is a small window connected to the bar where you can place drink orders, almost like an ordering window, which sometimes works better than waiting at the main bar. Parking can also be a bit of a challenge. There is parking in front of the establishment and in the same shopping center, and you can also park across the street. Just be aware that towing can happen in some areas, so it's worth paying attention to the signs.
