Had the pleasure of stopping in for a drink after having dinner upstairs at the crust! Loved the vibes of the place . It was giving cool and sexy! Respectfully the staff is good looking . That's the first thing i noticed when i walked in . Lol .Our server also looked like a young Demi Moore who I think is one of the most beautiful women this world's ever seen, myself included! I just think she should smile a tad bit more She did her job though so guess I won't complain. ‍.It was lively and loud so I it's great for a girls night out or a date as long as the other person is not one of those"let's find a quiet place to talk all night kind of people! Geez, let's just have fun and enjoy the ambiance without complaining about how loud it is! Lol.. I hear there's a happy hour and since my off days are currently stuck at Monday and Tuesday I will be back to test the waters again. The drinks are what to be expected from a dang good speakeasy! I'm chasing that feeling right now that I got after two sips of my little yummy concoction. My date had an old fashion ; darn right took a sip of that too! Lol I'm pretty sure I had the mango margarita because i normally drink tequila and I love mangoes. I was on drink number 2 when I had it and a couple more followed at one of our next locations. Little fuzzy! Anyhoo! lol.. love this place if I had friends here , i would definitely bring them to the Ostrich! read more

Came in for a little night cap after dinner on my birthday last Friday and even though it was 11 pm we were able to get in and sat right away, although we opted for the bar! I can't recall the bartenders name but he was wonderful and gave great drink recommendations as I was undecided on what I felt like drinking; we had a nice time and enjoyed ourselves for an hour or so before turning in for the night but all in all Ostrich is always a great time, really cool underground vibe and the drinks are always amazing. Definitely recommend for out of towners or if you have guests that visit and want a cool but different vibe; food next door at Crust is fantastic as well read more

The 4 of us were there Wednesday night 1/14 and the pizza was awful, barely warm, awful cheese and with pepperoni . More like a thick flat bread. We sent the calamari back because it was cold. The food probably comes down from upstairs and so orders likely sit too long . [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere was nice and drinks ok.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall would not recommend read more

Party of 3 came in on a Friday night around 9 p.m. We ordered a couple of drinks & two appetizers. Our drinks were tasty and the food was fire! Had a bit of a spicy kick to it. Love the vibe and our waitress was super funny. She was cracking jokes all night. Loved her drink recommendations. read more

I live a good speakeasy Stumbling across The Ostrich was the perfect ending to a fantastic night. Can venue fills up quickly They also do not take reservations so the earlier the better or be prepared to wait.

Good place to hang out with friends. Love the ambiance. Dark and moody. Plays rap and rnb and it isn't too loud. Populated but not crowded. The service is friendly and efficient. The food is from Crust upstairs and is pretty decent. Their espresso martinis aren't the best I've had but not the worst. read more

The atmosphere was neat although we sat down at the bar where at least 6 bartenders were just standing there. They dispersed as soon as we sat down, one came back and gave us water. Then we sat for 10-15 minutes with no one checking on us. We watched a bartender take a shot while his friends took videos sitting at the bar. Then we decided since we were clearly being ignored we left. The bar was not busy at all and we were the second couple to get up and leave after being ignored. What a disappointment for our first and last visit. read more

The service was amazing. It was a fun ambiance. Came here with 5 other girls they all ordered fun cocktails and I ordered a rustica grandma's pizza. I loved the garlic, sauce and parmasean cheese. The crust is very thin and crispy. read more

I love the atmosphere, the drinks, and the staff here. We showed up around 5:45pm on a Tuesday (Tiki Tuesday) and it was empty when we arrived, we stayed about 1 hour (babysitters cost money too! ). On a Tuesday throughout our stay the staff was attentive but not overbearing, very friendly and knowledgeable. The drinks were strong and tasty. Great place for our anniversary celebration. read more

We originally planned to eat dinner at Crust right above The Ostrich, but there was a bit of a wait so our hostess offered to have us seated downstairs at the Ostrich as they are under the same ownership as Crust and serve the same menu! We ended up preferring it over upstairs because it was more of a vibey, intimate ambiance! Overall we enjoyed our drinks and food, although the pizza sauce was a little too sweet for my preference. What made the experience truly special was the service. From the moment we were sat the service was top notch. We learned so much about the story behind The Ostrich and it was super interesting to see little tributes made to the original speakeasy. You can tell the employees are really passionate about where they work and I really appreciate that! read more

The Ostrich was sick. Elena made one of the best trinidad sours I have ever had, and her mezcal bartenders choice was elite elite elite. Michael was a wizard behind the bar and seemed to be everywhere at once. Will definitely be coming back for more great cocktails. read more

I heard about this place and decided to give it a try . I took my wife out on a date and I wasn't sure about this place at first . It was pretty busy and the had 2nd thoughts if we should stay or not then we ran across an employee I believe his name was Tim . He was very professional and greeted us with a smile . He made us feel at ease and the rest of the night was amazing . If it wasn't for him we would have probably left. I would definitely recommend this place to others read more

Um hello, where has this place been all my life? Our group of 4 was on the hunt for a place for cocktails post-dinner at San Tan Brewery and we stumbled upon The Ostrich not even a block away. This speakeasy is easy to miss of you aren't aware of its existence. The bouncer outside checked our IDs and we proceeded down the staircase to the bar's entrance. I loved the ambiance and decor of this place. We were seated immediately and took a look at their cocktail menu. I ordered the Gilgo Beach-which, let me tell you, this is one of the best drinks on their menu. The combinations of flavors are out of this world and the quality id top-tier. The staff was so kind and the speed of drink delivery was great. I think it's also worth mentioning that the pricing of these high-quality cocktails is very reasonable. If you are someone that enjoys a goof speakeasy and you happen to find yourself in downtown Chandler, you should definitely check this place out. read more

My husband and I had dinner plans at Crust before attending a show at the Chandler Center for the Arts. Since Crust was full, the hostess directed us downstairs to The Ostrich. Unfortunately, the experience there was very disappointing. The service was slow, and the staff seemed uninterested in helping us. I had an issue with my food, and by the time it was addressed, it took so long that I had to return it so we wouldn't be late for the show. I usually enjoy Crust, but The Ostrich was a very different experience. Even though they're connected and share the same kitchen, the service and overall experience at The Ostrich were terrible. read more

Great food!!! U could tell I wanted seconds. Lmao. Beautiful spot and dark lighting which I love! All the jailhouse pics of people over the years was a fun touch. Only been trying to get here for a few years. Highly recommend read more

This was the best speakeasy I've ever been too! Normally they are very small and insanely crowded but The Ostrich had plenty of room, a relaxed lounge vibe feel, & amazing drinks. It was also really cool knowing the history this building has with Chandlers namesake and the reason behind the name The Ostrich (check out the info on the menu)! We live 30+ min from downtown Chandler but will definitely be back soon we loved it here! read more

Cool place for a drink. They have a small menu of their own, and you can also order pizza from Crust. This was the first time I actually stayed, and I had a pleasant experience. I've tried to stop in a couple of times before, and the place just flat out stunk like sewer. I'll definitely stop in again. read more

No signage outside, but you'll notice stairs going down and a red light to this speakeasy. The hostess will seat you or go straight to the bar. It has a dark, moody vibe inside. The signature cocktails are good. It can get pretty busy, but our server did check on us at least four times, which was good considering how busy it was during an early Saturday night. It's a great place for date night or small groups. read more

My friends and I went to The Ostrich last night and oh my goodness... I think we accidentally stumbled into another dimension! From the second we walked in, we were wrapped up in this amazing energy. Jade, the sweetest hostess ever, greeted us right away, and even though there was a short wait, we were totally entertained because the décor is just next level--every corner has something fun and stylish to look at. And let me just say... the staff? Drop. Dead. Gorgeous. Not only are they dressed to impress, but every single one of them has this big, warm smile that makes you feel like you belong there. Jade even joked with us as she walked us to our table, which immediately made us feel at home. Then came the best part--Savannah, our server! She was an absolute blast: hilarious, attentive, and just so easy to connect with. When we complimented her nails, she pulled over Emma (her best friend and roommate- adorable, right?) to show off hers too, and it was like watching magic. The two of them tag-teamed our table like pros. It honestly felt like they could read each other's minds and ours. Who's can complain about two perfect 10's giving them just the right amount of attention all night? As a former server, I can recognize when a staff works together seamlessly, and Emma and Savannah could give a masterclass on it. Drinks appeared the moment we were ready, food was timed perfectly, and they somehow balanced being totally professional while keeping the whole experience fun and full of personality. And let's not forget--the food and cocktails were phenomenal. Every dish was spot on, and the drinks were some of the best I've had in the Valley. On top of that, we caught Savannah, Emma, and the rest of the staff grooving to the music and joking with each other between tables--it was like dinner and a show. It's rare to walk into a restaurant full of strangers and leave feeling like you've just been welcomed into a family, but that's exactly what The Ostrich is. I can't wait to go back (probably way too often). My only complaint is that I can't be there every day, and that I can't give more than 5 stars. If you haven't been--go. Just go. It's pure joy in restaurant form. read more

Really a sick speakeasy. My friends brought me here while I was in town, and I don't regret it. I'm by no means an expert in any realm of alcohol consumption, but I had several great drinks (that I forgot to take pictures of), namely the Clover Club and another that was an anonymous drink at the server's recommendation. I had a great time in a cool place with good friends. Obviously, my experience can't be transferred to your own, but the people working there put in the work to make it a great time. It also is somewhat attached to the restaurant above, so my friend ordereda calzone that made my other friend envious. I almost forgot to mention, maybe I'm just used to L.A. rates, but the drinks were not expensive. I think they were very fairly priced. Check this place out if you've got the time. read more

Heard about this speakeasy from the team at Crust. Since we enjoyed the cocktails at Crust, we thought we would try The Ostrich. Hubs and I decided to check it out after dinner on a Friday. We were told what to look for, so locating it was easy. The bouncer checked our IDs then let us through. The space was a little dark, but adds to the ambiance. Plenty of seating; there were couches, booths, table tops, and bar seating. The place was packed, but we found two seats by the bar. The mixologists greeted us as soon as they saw us. I looked through the menu and admired the unique concoctions, but eventually went with my usual, an espresso martini. Hubs ordered something off the menu. The drinks were made well. We also ordered spicy garlic knots which were delicious and had a nice kick. We stayed for a couple of hours, ordered another drink, and chatted with another couple sitting next to us. We liked the drinks and would definitely return. I knocked off a star because there wasn't much airflow. People were sweating and complaining that it was humid. read more

This place is just so damn cool. Nothing like a secret dive bar in a basement. As you walk down the stairs you get hit with a bit of the mustiness of a basement. Continue down you come into full view of a dining room with a huge bar. Craft cocktails and flites are a must try. The bartenders are super friendly and ready to answer any questions. While we didn't eat when we were there, the menu is as exceptional looking as the cocktails are. The Ostrich (under Crust) is a must visit when in Chandler. read more

I do like that the Ostrich doesn't do passwords like some of the speakeasies do. Look for the orange light to find the entrance, descend the stairs to enter. It does smell musty and it is quite warm and humid inside. I do think the the Ostrich should implement more AC and a de humidifier though to get of the musty smell given hefty prices. I like the walk of mugshots: Snoop Dogg, Paris Hilton, Capone etc. The Ostrich has a very extensive spirits and liquor menu along with featured drinks. They serve a nice menu of food items as well. The low ceiling and cinder block walls give you that underground vibe and the black chandelier is a nice touch, but the long bare walk on the left of the entrance could certainly use more decor. The interior size is just right. Sanctuary and Gin & Reel are minuscule in comparison to White Rabbit which is a little too large in my opinion, whereas The Ostrich size is perfect! read more

Prior to going to The Ostrich I had two friends tell me very different experiences they've had there. One was highly positive and other was very negative. Like most things in life, I decided to go have my own experience and see for myself :) Pros: -Beautiful looking bar with bottles arranged nicely. -It's dark and tiki lounge vibe, which I love. -Hostess was friendly upon arrival. Explained to me that it's Tiki Tuesday and next time if I wear some type of tiki inspired shirt/outfit that I can get a deal on drinks. That's fun! -Bartenders are very cool and know how to make amazing cocktails. I asked for a tiki drink that was a "surprise". Damn, it was good. They burned a piece of cinnamon and I enjoy that smell. My drink was a rum drink. Very tasty. -Fried Calamari from restaurant upstairs was good. -Great ambiance and it was pretty chill. Not too loud or busy (it was a Tuesday) Cons: -Only thing to note is it can be hard to locate if you've never been there before. There is no signage and it's down a flight of stairs. This is intentional, to add to the intrigue of the place, so it's not really a con just something to be aware of. read more

Fun speakeasy underneath Crust! The drinks here are so good (and strong!)! Our server was amazing! She made the experience that much better. She was super attentive and took time to talk with us and joke around. We even got a sampler of a drink on the house! I love the vibe here. It's not too noisy and is a quieter, calmer area to hang out. Nice romantic date spot as well. You can order food from Crust. The menu consists mainly of salads, pizza and pasta. I ordered gluten free penne with marinara. It was very flavorful. I will definitely be back! read more
