Speaks very well to the speakeasy concept, from having to call on the phone with the password to get in, to the interior decorations. Even the waiters are a little bit in period and how they dress, like suspenders and old time dresses. The food was very good. The four of us ordered three pieces that were on happy hour buy one get the second half off. And if you couple it with an appetizer one pizza would be good to share for two people. Had some interesting and tasty drinks, prices were especially cocktails normally go for in the 14 to 17 dollar range. Had a surprisingly good two-piece band playing, that covered many genres of music and took requests! Will definitely head back there again.... read more

First time at a speakeasy-style restaurant and bar, and I couldn't be more impressed! From the outside it looks like a classic barbershop, but once you dial the number and give the code words, the bookcase swings open and you're transported into a completely different world. Inside, the restaurant is absolutely stunning. We were greeted by a gracious host who explained the layout and quickly found us a place to sit. The atmosphere was beautiful, elegant, and full of character. The drinks were amazing, the service was excellent, and the entire experience felt unique and memorable. Definitely a wonderful spot and one I'd highly recommend. read more

What a fun place! There is an actual barber shop in the front and you use the phone to call and give them the secret password/phrase to get into the speakeasy. The inside is really cool and has a great ambiance. You can choose to sit inside or outside. The outside is just a regular outdoor patio. Everything we ordered was amazing! Would love to go back to try their weekend brunch menu. read more

The Bearded Barber - VIP Section for Members - Speakeasies Near Me - New River, Arizona

This is a local favorite because it has some of the best food in town. Now this town is not known for many restaurants that have what I call elevated food but the Bearded Barber does a good job. I had a few different drinks, including and the Manhattan and one of their smoky old-fashioned, which is kind of fun because it comes in this box if they open up and all the wonderful smoke comes out as you grab the drink. We had meatballs and I also ordered a salmon over risotto, which was very tasty. My buddy had a BLT which he enjoyed as well. The service is occasionally spotty, but overall, I've had a very good experience and it's definitely worth coming into this great little speakeasy and having a drink and some nibbles ! read more

As a Las Vegas native my food and service standard is very high. Cannot speak more highly of this AZ place. From the fantastic owners and management to the great bartenders and servers, every part of this restaurant is top notch. Really wonderful food with even better drink drinks. I've never had a this year. I didn't like. I'm a picky MF and they never disappoint. The ambience makes you feel like you went into another world. Old-time Chicago or New York. The only downfall is sometimes you can wait a little long for a drink when they are busy. read more

What a gem in Anthem. Happy hour deals made it worth it, otherwise it can be a little pricey. You pay for the experience and atmosphere, service was quick, attentive, engaging, fun diverse drink menu, and a good spread of food to choose from. We ordered their specialty old fashioned (blind tiger), tequila cocktail (lady lilith), 2 pies and the brussel sprouts. The blind tiger was a lot sweeter and more flavorful than a regular old fashion. So speak to your bartender to get the deets on flavor profiles, alcohol content, etc, they are very knowledgeable. They'll help you make the right choices. The place filled up fast on an early Sat afternoon. Dress code in effect. See their website for details. Fun experience all around. read more

Absolutely LOVED their speakeasy! My family did too. You must get the password from their website, and you must call the phone in the barber shop to get in. Loved the friendly service, beautiful interior decorated in detail, and the elegant Arizona saloon take on this place. Check their calendar for piano or jazz nights. We came in on piano night. Food and drinks were delicious! Loved our Ricotta Board, Braised Beef, Gnocchi Alla Vodka, and Butternut Ravioli! We liked their Blind Tiger which is one of their takes on an Old Fashioned. No reservation needed unless it's for 8 or more people. During theholidays we were able to get a table around 5pm on a Thursday. As the night went on it got packed. Also Happy Hour is 3-6. read more

I'm visiting a friend in Phoenix and we decided to try out this place! This is such a fun speakeasy. We came on jazz night and it was surprisingly very crowded. Music was great and the vibes were vibing. I appreciate how lowkey the place is. I also appreciate that this place offers both food and drinks, most speakeasies only have drinks. Our server, Lindsey, was great! She had great recommendations and was very accommodating. Definitely worth a try if you're in this area! Food review: French fries: (10/5) Bomb. Not sure what they did to these, but they are delicious especially with the dipping sauce. Funghi pizza: (4/5) Very truffly flavor. But tasty! Bearded butcher pizza: (5/5) We love a classic meat lovers type pizza. Everything meshed well. I love how thin the crust is and the pizza was plenty to share! Russian spanking: (5/5) This was an off the menu item. Super delicious, creamy, and flavorful. Comes with a delicious white/milk chocolate stick! Baby face: (3/5) Lots of flavors going on at once, didn't mesh the best in my opinion. Old fashioned: (10/5) honestly one of the best old fashions I've ever had. I could've drank them all night. Perfect balance of flavors. read more

The BEST. We've been twice and been blessed To have Denisa as our server. She is kind, friendly, and knows the menu well. She even remember some of our orders the second time we went in (on New Year's Eve). Amazing PIZZA, PASTA, and ricotta cheese appetizer. All of our cocktails were fantastic. And the live music was next level. Top spot to visit in the north Phoenix area. read more

Without exception, the Bearded Barber is the premier spot for drinks and food in north Phoenix.

From the moment we walked through the "secret" entrance, the vibe was spot-on -- dark, moody lighting, vintage decor, beautiful bar, and music that set the tone. You can tell a lot of thought went into the design. The food and drinks were delicious! Great margarita that wasn't too sweet. Actually, everything we ordered was great, but the Stealth Fries deserve their own fan club, lol. Katia came by to check in on us -- friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to care that we were having a great experience. It's those little touches that make a place memorable. Anthem needs more unique and delicious dining options like The Bearded Barber! Can't wait to go back and bring friends! read more

I usually like to wait for more than one visit before writing a review but The Bearded Barber feels like one of the exceptions. We had been meaning to check it out for several months now so several weekends ago we finally made our way. This has the feel of an actual speakeasy as it should be, it seems. You enter into a nice, working barber shop. There is a rotary phone on the wall with a number to dial. Give the password to whoever answers the phone and you are welcomed in to a nice, dark and spacious setting with ample seating at various tables, lounges chairs and a well-equipped bar. There is a separate raised members-only area off to the side. We were warmly greeted and offered to find a seat anywhere ( it was still early and we were the only ones at the time ). Being terrible with names I don't remember our host's name but he was very personable and friendly. We were given time to check out the menu and finally settled on some cocktails along with a beautifully presented charcuterie board. The drink menu is interesting and varied, with intriguingly clever names, as you often find in these types of establishments, which just adds to the fun. The cocktails we sampled were very well-crafted and tasty. One stand-out for us here: my better half really loves a concoction called a Banana Split Martini which she always orders when we visit our favorite nightspot in Indianapolis. We haven't found it anywhere else for some reason. She asked our host if he could whip one up; they did not have banana liqueur but he said he'd see what he could do. He scrubbed his first attempt since he found it unsatisfactory, then a few minutes later presented us with something pretty close and damned delicious. That was certainly above-and-beyond. This feels like it is typical of the level of service here, even though it was our first visit. We know we'll be back. Make the trip out to Anthem and step into The Bearded Barber. I'm pretty sure you won't leave disappointed. read more

I've been to a few speakeasy's. But none of them have Chris as a bartender. From the moment we eased onto the bar, our entire experience was perfection. This was my first time to this fun spot in an unassuming strip mall. Don't think you can just show up! NAY NAY! You must go to the website to get the password sent! Upon opening the cocktail menu I was greeted with a list of bourbon drinks. How could I say no? The password was yes all night. Yes to the Parmesan crusted artichoke hearts. Yes to the mussels and clams. Yes to the warm brownie and gelato. And because I was now old friends with the bar staff, they felt it necessary for me to try a beautiful Cabernet Sauvignon that was only available by the bottle. Spoiler...I said yes. Top it off with live music and great conversation. You can't go wrong. Don't you dare go here without saying hello to Chris. Top shelf service and humor. read more

We had a great time at this fun speakeasy, The Bearded Barber on Saturday! Enter the barber shop, pick up the phone and give the password. Bam! A wooden bookshelf opens, and you're in. We loved the entertainment - a Frank Sinatra singer, and the food and service were stellar. Our server, Conner, was attentive and personable. The atmosphere is great; tin ceilings, dark woods, old fashioned, European pub-style bar, cozy sofas. Looking for a fun night out, look up the password on-line and go! read more

Best place in Anthem. Great food, cocktails and service. The environment is very relaxing and enjoyable.

To be clear, the stylists upfront are awesome! The restaurant is a poor value. The decor was pleasant, but the food and service was disappointing. Our table flopped around like one leg was too short. Our server failed to refill drinks or ask if we'd like more, he also failed to inform us that menu items were unavailable prior to letting us review the menu. The CAPRESE CHICKEN CUTLET sandwich ($22) was tasteless. The bun was over cooked and hard as a rock. The chicken appeared to be pre-breaded frozen, and the pesto was as bland as it comes. And that's what you get for $22. A sandwich with no sides that can't hold a candle next to a $6 Wendy's sandwich. The pasta was OK, but the shrimp was under-seasoned and difficult to eat with the way they leave the shells on. At least it was a better value than the chicken sandwich. The waiter never refilled our waters, nor asked if we'd like another cocktail, their loss I suppose. Sad. Finally have a night without the kids and it was a bust. We will not be returning. read more

Love love speakeasy bars, I felt like I've time traveled to prohibition years. You can be a member or if you're not you would need a password to get in which is on their website and it does change every month. They feature live music which was awesome and food and drinks were kinda on the pricy side but worth it for the experience here. Definitely have to try their starter roasted brussel sprouts which with bursting with flavors and their shrimp fettuccini alfredo. The pizza was okay, I like my pizza on the doughy side. Their pizza tasted more like a flat bread, a little on the dry side for me. Definitely would come back here. read more

From the staff, to the food, to the drinks, and the atmosphere...hands down one of the greatest experiences I've had.

Where do I start?! They had an amazing singer who sounds exactly like Sinatra. Drink were amazing and strong. Shout out to Jacob who's name I couldn't get right . Ambiance is amazing super old school. Love that even the barbers in the front blend into the bar look. It's self seating so if they're busy it's def hard to find a spot. They have an amazing outdoor seating too where you can hear the music but if it's too early in the day it's really hot. Food was only ok but frankly the drinks made up for it. Their selection is amazing and presentation is by far a 10/10. read more
