The Most Delectable Bars in Phoenix

Hash Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (3592) • $$

"Took my first Cousin here for brunch which was a hit!!! Although, there's not a live DJ on the weekdays, it was still a nice vibe! Our waitress was awesome and provided our food in a timely manner. There's plenty of indoor/outdoor seating. There's also plenty of parking on site. Thanks to this awesome staff for providing great service."

The Mission Old Town

★★★★☆ 4 (3133) • $$$

"This venue is beautiful - historic and charming! The chandeliers throughout the restaurant offer a very romantic vibe. Our waiter was cool and knowledgeable of the menu items.For starters, we had the tableside guacamole, which wasn't tableside, per se, but I did see the gentleman making it in the corner of the dining room. I liked that you could customize heat levels. We also ordered the beef skewers and it was the most decadent and flavorful piece of meat!! Must order! For our entrees, we ordered the skirt steak tacos and salmon. I highly recommend the Salmon, the skin was perfectly crisp yet tender and flavorful on the inside. The skirt steak looked delicious although they might consider larger tortillas compared to meat ratio. For dessert, they treated us to a pumpkin bread pudding - AMAZING - for my birthday. It was a nice send-off. 10/10 experience!"

Steak 44

★★★★★ 4.5 (2135) • $$$$

"Shout out to Joyce W. After seeing her review of Steak 44, which is the street they're located on in Phoenix. I had to make reservations since I was in town only for a few nights. Btw several of the family members here are founders of Mastro's empire who sold the chain to a private equity firm in 2007 and is now under the family of restaurants by Laundry's. I checked in and was seated immediately and was sat near the bar. It was on the loud side with the music, and the bar was at capacity. Ordered a bottle of cabernet, appetizer of crispy shrimp, and a complimentary warm dish of yummy bread. I went for the dry aged 22 oz rib eye, fresh branzino with lemon butter, asparagus, pan-fried wild mushrooms, and cream Brule corn. For dessert, we had the Ultimate warm vanilla caramel cake (aka - butter cake). The food and service were outstanding.Definitely suggest reservations, and they have sister restaurants in Del Mar and Beverly Hills named Steak 48 - due to Arizona is the 48th state of the U.S."

Hash Kitchen Arcadia

★★★★☆ 4.3 (1532) • $$

"Date: Sunday, July 2nd, 2023Time: around 12:30pmParty of: 2Meal: Brunch / Breakfast / LunchHow: OpenTable WaitlistWait: about 35 mins*Build Your Own Bloody Mary Bar ($14)*Smoked Brisket Hash ($19)*Cobb Salad ($15)The main reason to come here? The bloody mary bar. I'm not a huge fan of bloodys in general, but I adore making a bouquet of veggies, cheese, and meat. Plus, you gotta do it for the gram! (I'm not on IG, but you know what I mean.) The toppings offered are aplenty, so go and add as much as you'd like. (I think you are only allowed the one trip.) Honestly, this in itself is a meal. The bloody part I thought was okay. Could have been spicier and more boozy, but you come here for the toppings. Food wise, everything else was all right. Tho I found it interesting everything came with onion rings.Ambiance wise, I am waaay too old for this place. All these youngins with their loud music? Grandma emoji right here. Very clubby vibe. And I saw some girls in little black dresses with heels. A bit too much for me in the daylight.Service was great. The person helping us out with the bloody bar gave me the rundown. She was also very impressed with my cocktail which made me smile.For me, definitely a spot where I go, one and done. The bloody bar was fun and I'm glad I experienced it. But with the wait and loud music, I don't need to do it again.REVIEW #3460"

Roaring Fork

★★★★☆ 4.2 (1598) • $$$

"Decided to go out for dinner in Scottsdale and have had pretty good experiences with going to parties at The Roaring Fork.It was a weeknight so we receded immediately and decided to sit outside. They do have a fairly nice patio on the side of the building. The service was very good the restaurant was clean Little on the expensive side but the food was well prepared and worth it.We will definitely be returning for a meal sometime in the future."

Ocotillo

★★★★☆ 4.1 (1466) • $$$

"Met up with some friends for dinner at Ocotillo, I have been a few times and love coming back! For dinner we sat inside, but Ocotillo has an amazing outdoor eating area on a beautiful lighted patio/backyard area, even a bar outside.I started my meal with a cocktail and for my main I had a homemade pasta dish with a meaty sauce. The cocktail was the perfect way to begin this meal. The pasta dish was filling and full of flavor, it also came with toasted Noble bread. I also got to try one of the ribs my friend order and man those were so dang good. Although I was perfectly pleased with my meal, I had plate envy haha. If looking for a great place a date night or night out go give Ocotillo a try!"

Bluewater Grill - Phoenix

★★★★☆ 4.2 (1301) • $$

"Came here on Easter Sunday and we had a wonderful time! To start off, the complimentary sourdough bread with butter was amazing. We even received some extra to take home! I had the pasta with shrimp and scallops and it was delicious. Others in our party had the chicken and salmon, they all devoured their food! We were also celebrating a birthday and were given complimentary dessert. I don't usually like creme brulee but theirs is top notch!! Overall, the service and food were amazing. The restaurant is clean and relaxing. We had a great family dinner."

Singing Pandas Asian Restaurant & Bar

★★★★★ 4.5 (1074) • $$

"Jet Li "Fact": Jet Li has a vegan brother. His name is Brocco Li.This isn't true. I just wanted to make a joke. ;DPlease don't attack me over this review because while this place is so widely loved, I wasn't into it. Entrees start at $17, and perhaps it pays for the singing performance, which we didn't get to see the early evening we went, but I wasn't impressed. I had the pot stickers and sesame chicken, and while decent, I didn't think it justified the price. I worked at the most amazing Chinese takeout in my youth, so I feel I might be harder to impress though. The food is more of the Americanized-Chinese variety.While the food is good and service is great, I'm not sure I'd be popping back in."

Haymaker Peoria

★★★★☆ 4 (1198) • $$

"I'm staying up in the area so checked it out. Love the decor. Open and lots of wood. We ordered the fried zucchini and they were so good. I had the meat loaf. It was very yummy. Kind of mushy. Potatoes are great a little dry. My friend had the brisket and pork and Mac and cheese and he ate it all. Plus corn bread. I think that says it all. It was a HUGE portion. The service was great. My drink never got empty. Dirty plates were cleared but yet not oppressive in hanging about. I actually can't wait to go again. I'm only here for a week."

Malee's Thai Bistro

★★★★☆ 3.8 (1256) • $$

"Pros:Ample dining rooms with beautiful decorWalkable to restaurant from Old Town centerCons:Drunken Dragon lettuce wrap was only average for me; nothing special about the flavorsSiamese Kiss dumpling had good texture, but I've had better at other dim sum places; again nothing that wowed meBasil chicken - good flavors, but tasted like Panda Express chickenPro tip:Glad to see this Asian restaurant that has been a mainstay in the area for over a decade. I'd go out and support this place just on this alone."

The Original Blue Adobe Grille

★★★★☆ 4.2 (931) • $$

"A small but attractive spot to grab New Mexican style grub. Our friendly server and complimentary chips and salsa got us off to a good start. I ordered the mini shredded beef chimichanga, green style. You can also order it with red sauce (spicier) or Christmas style - both sauces. It comes with rice and whole pinto beans, both were very good. Even the mini version is very filling. We kind of forget Blue Adobe is here and need to remind ourselves to add it to our rotation. It's a great place!"

Adela's Italian Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.6 (773) • $$

"This is an excellent Italian Restaurant. My first course was the Insalata di Spinaci (Spinach Salad). The salad was delicious and perfectly dressed. The complimentary bread that came with the meal was outstanding. For the main course, I ordered Fettuccine Della Casa and Penne all' Arrabbiata, both dishes were incredible. The service at the restaurant is top-notch. I highly recommend this restaurant, if you enjoy Italian Food."

Saddle Mountain Brewing Company

★★★★☆ 3.9 (1073) • $$

"Visited 2/20/2024Interesting little place.Don't believe all you see here on Yelp about this place.Menu is much smaller so the selection isn't near as nice.First The Staff were very nice and friendly. The Ambience was was plain non eventful. Not inviting as they would lead you to think.Now for the food I have mixed reviews.The Chicken Wings were underwhelming overcooked and overpriced for the serving size. 1 1/2 Stars.The Onion Rings were not to bad just not fabulous. 3 Stars.The French Fries were good but still could be Better. 3 1/2 Stars.Loretta had The Holy - Yum Burger. Big, Juicy and Perfectly Cooked Medium Rare. Seasoned Well. Very Nice. 4 Stars.I ordered The Fire Burger. First don't let the name scare you. It is very Mild not Spicy but has a Great Flavor Profile. 4 1/2 Stars.The Burgers are the Star of the menu.I Do Wish they did have more to choose from on the menu.Sadly Not enough choices for me to return."

Forno 301 Phoenix

★★★★☆ 4.3 (879)

"Great little find. Ordered a panini, salad and pizza. All food was superb quality. My husband raved about the Italian espressos. Inside looked cozy but decided to sit on the patio and enjoy the weather."

Mora Italian

★★★★☆ 3.8 (993) • $$$

"Finally got to check out Mora Italian last weekend! i was very excited to do so, as I have heard great things and a My husband and I went on a double date with our SIL + BIL, so was a great evening for a date night or special occasion. They only have valet, which is complimentary. I am not a huge fan of valet personally, but do understand, as the parking is limited at the midtown location.The atmosphere was very fun, modern, definitely inspo from Rome with graffiti artwork. They also have an open kitchen if you ar interested in watching the team from pizza to pastries. We were promptly greeted and seated. I ordered Versace on 7th, which is a vodka based martini with olive oil foam. It was super unique and though I do not lean towards vodka, the ingredients really intrigued me and I definitely enjoyed it. It was a tad sweeter than I would normally go for, but with the richness of the olive oil and the natural herbs, it was very enjoyable. They have a unique cocktail menu with ample options! I only had one, but definitely saw some others that caught my eye. They also made a classic Lemon drop for my SIL and my husband got their version of an old fashion, he did say it was on the sweeter side.After perusing the menu, which had ample options from starters, salads, pizza's entrees, pastas and side. My group wanted to do the coursed meal they had. The menu lists that its priced for two, but the whole table has to partake if ordered, so by majority we rolled with it. At this time it was 5 courses for 190 per couple. They did not list what was included on the menu, a server did have to walk us through it, but from what I recall it included L Focaccia di Recco, Little Gems salad, crab salad, baby beets salad, polenta cremosa, calamari, three pastas including, the fettuccini, pomodora, fiorenti verde , steak and lobster tail, broccolini and their sundae fundaeNeedless to say we basically rolled out of there. It was a wonderful line up of great food. There were definitely a few stand outs such as the polenta, the focaccia, beet salad and fiorenti verde. Personally, i would prefer to scale it back on price point and food. It was delightful and they do portion it, but its a LOT of food and a lengthy experience. i would prefer smaller portions or just a few less options at a lower price point. I did opt for tiramisu instead of the sundae fundae, which the service was kind enough to accomodate for me! The sunda fundae is meant for two and is very cute, they have a cart they roll around FULL of different toppings. They do only have ONE cart though, so the rest of the table waited about 15-20 minutes on desert because of this. In addition, the ice cream seems like standard soft serve, so not as impressive or tasty as it could be.Overall, was a lovely meal, great atmosphere, lovely service and we left full and happy."

Bourbon & Bones Chophouse and Bar - Old Town Scottsdale

★★★★☆ 4.1 (852) • $$$

"This place was great! Took some clients here for a business dinner. The atmosphere was cozy and classy. The steaks and drinks were fantastic. The Baratta was very nice and so was the tomato and mozzarella salad. It was on the pricey side, but very worth it. Service was fast and thorough. Great experience and I was able to close the deal."

Taco Chelo

★★★★☆ 4.2 (807) • $$

"Now these tacos are nothing like San Diego (or Mexico), but for Arizona, I would say these are top tier. My boyfriend told me that the tortillas are freshly made by hand, and they are near perfect -- so good! He ordered a chicken and two carnitas tacos, I got a fish, carnitas and barbacoa taco, and we got the chicharrones. I will say that the tacos were very oily, as in dripping, but that also adds some flavor. The fish taco, which also had a rich crema, and the barbacoa tacos were my favorite. The carnitas taco was also tasty, but I had a lot of fat pieces, which my boyfriend is more a fan of. The chicharrones had a kick to them, but were so crunchy and delicious. We each had a Jarritos to drink, but their beverages sounded enticing. We also sat outside since it was so nice out, but I would like to dine in because the establishment looks cute. It is a pretty open and inviting space. I definitely want to come back and try other food on the menu, as well as come back for the chicharrones."

Phoenix City Grille

★★★★☆ 4.4 (655) • $$

"Bubbly, friendly, and delightful service experience with Kenzie is what I enjoyed during happy hour here with my sister. Every stop at the table to check on us she presented a beautiful smile and awesome hospitality. I will be checking for her the next time I dine here. Her service was off the charts.I was hoping the bar could make a chocolate martini but I was advised that they don't stock some of the ingredients to make it. So I asked Kenzie about the 'house' martini's that were on the happy hour menu and she made some suggestions. I ended up trying the blueberry lemon martini. It was delicious.The happy hour tacos were good. The Carne Asada was well seasoned and super tender. I tried the brussel sprout hash which was very tastey. It put me in mind of a veggie dish I would make at home.I hope to visit again to try the grass-fed ribeye."

Blue Hound Kitchen & Cocktails

★★★★☆ 3.8 (868) • $$

"We had the BHKC Burger, Bucatini Pasta, Lobster Mac & Cheese, Waguy Sliders, Margarita, Martinis, and more... Genie was the server and was blessing after a horrible pre-plan dinner experience around the corner... The backup plan became the primary plan and didn't disappoint!!! That's what I get for branching out my comfort zone!!! :-)"

The Keg Steakhouse + Bar - Desert Ridge

★★★★☆ 4 (771) • $$$

"I've been coming to the keg for years. I've had a couple eh experiences but the last few have been amazing. Our service last night was great! They really stepped up their game. I don't remember her name but she was amazing. Drinks never empty, made sure everything was good and kept us happy. The food was great per usual. I got the summer menu item which was sirloin with snow crab legs. Sooo good. I'm on a carnivore diet so gave my friend the taters and added grilled shrimp! So heavenly. I love coming here, esp if you're on the birthday rewards. Can't beat free meal for turning a year older! Me and my fam will continue to come. One thing that stood out this visit was our server went to get a box, meanwhile another server cleared our plates. We thought he was gonna box it but he threw it out. Our server was confused when she came back with box and food was gone, but no fear she went out of her way to get another potato (that's what was leftover) on the house. We didn't even ask and she took care of it. Now that's 5 star!Thanks Keg! We'll be back!"

Preston's Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 4.3 (660) • $$$

"UPDATE: It pains me to downgrade my rating, but our dining experience last night was below par. Usually, we enjoy sitting at the bar, but we had no reservations and took what the hostess gave us. We actually got a beautiful table next to the windows.Our server was friendly but new and wouldn't serve pig wings in the dining room. Our shrimp cocktail was superb. We were really disappointed with our entres. I ordered the 22 oz bone in ribeye mid rare. It came out perfectly cooked but had almost no rib cap and tasted really lean and tough for a rib eye. For over $72 for an alla carte steak, I expect a much better cut of beef. I complained, and they brought me a second one that was absolutely no better. I accepted it because I just wanted to go home as my wife had been done eating for ten minutes.Don't get me wrong, we love Preston's and the great people who work there. Two poor quality steaks won't keep me away forever, but I might consider other protiens for dinner."

Isabel's Amor

★★★★☆ 4 (739) • $$

"This is our favorite neighborhood restaurant. The food, the drinks, and the service are all top-notch. We have been here countless times; on one or two occasions there were minor issues, all addressed immediately.I am fairly certain that we have tried every single item on the menu. My favorite is the Pozole (I have had both the red and green, both are delicious) and my husband is a big fan of the Carnitas. I definitely always steal a few bites of that dish! I can also recommend the house margarita.The prices here are very reasonable for the quality of food.It is not great for a date night, as it is usually packed and crazy loud.They do accept reservations if you call, Sunday-Thursday only."

Centrico

★★★★★ 4.6 (541) • $$

"What a neat little bar/restaurant tucked inside an old hotel. It was easy to find and the entrance is through the hotel, in case you're looking for a door on the outside.I was in for a quick lunch and ordered a margarita and some shrimp tacos. The margarita was good but a bit small. The shrimp tacos were delicious and also small, but they gave you 4 of them which was nice. They had a nice flavor!The place is small, so I wouldn't plan on going with a large group. But for a quick lunch at the bar, I was in and out in no time. And with tacos in my belly!"

El Chorro

★★★★☆ 3.8 (768) • $$$

"They offer elevated flavors and ambiance, a lovely patio with mountain views, and a fireplace to set a mood at dinner; making El Chorro perfect spot for dates! They mix great cocktails and offer many wines to choose from. Delicious food and desserts! Service and food is always exceptional. We have been here for a Sunday brunch and dinner. This last experience was for a wedding they catered. They were on top of everything. Food was great. The bride was a joy, but I noticed a couple of guests were very rude and demanding. All food was pre-ordered and accounted for, yet a couple of guests were still demanding special treatment. Christa was so kind and handled them so professionally. She made even the grumpy appreciative. Everyone serving did such a great job. The food was delicious. I never knew until this wedding they did catering. Every experience has been lovely."

The Collins Small Batch Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.4 (540) • $$

"First time at the Collins at this location. Stopped by for happy hour but decided to have a quick pre-concert dinner. Bar was pretty noisy but dinning area was pleasant. Service was excellent. Shared a Bacon & Brussel Sprout appetizer. Grilled Chicken and Brie Sandwich with Fries was the dinner entree. Have never been disappointed at the Collins."

Haymaker Goodyear

★★★★☆ 3.6 (776) • $$

"Great service by Kendrah! And wonderful recommendations from the menu. Food is down home cooking and delicious"

India's Flame

★★★★★ 4.5 (486) • $$

"I normally go to New India Gate for Indian food, but as I live in Florence and that's on the west side of Phoenix it's a long drive. I stumbled across India's Flame simply by accident and decided to give it a try. I am so glad that I did as the food here is outstanding! The Chicken Tikka Masala was super flavorful as were the Tandoori wings. The Garlic Naan was just to die for, and two helpings of everything later and you could have just about rolled me out the door.The staff were all great, and the prices were super reasonable. It's not a huge restaurant so I might get it to go if it's a Friday night or on the weekend, but cold Indian food is never really cold if it's spiced right."

Song Lynn Vietnamese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.4 (504) • $$

"The food was delicious, no complaints. And it arrived at the table in a reasonable amount of time. I was surprised to see that they have a drink menu. Great for first dates or family night. There was something splattered on the wall in the booth that I was sitting. Other than that, the space appears to be maintained. Plenty of parking. Accessible entrance."

The Keg Steakhouse + Bar - Tempe

★★★★☆ 3.9 (639) • $$$

"I don't think I have ever had a bad meal at The Keg. The food and service are always on point."

The Keg Steakhouse + Bar - Chandler

★★★★☆ 3.9 (623) • $$$

"I have mixed emotions about my dining experience. We went on a Tuesday evening without a reservation and were immediately seated. The waitress promptly took our drink order. We knew what we were going to have so we placed it with her when she came back. They brought out complimentary bread and butter that was so warm and mouthwatering. Started with iceburg salad which I don't typically have as there is no nutritional value in ice burg lettuce. Also, I didn't realize that there was bacon on it, which I know for all you bacon lovers ....YUCK. I just scrapped it off (my bad for not reading) and off I went to eating. Ordered a shrimp and salmon dinner. I truly appreciated the artistry of the kitchen. The shrimp was the best I have had in ages. It had my senses singing!! The only reason it's not five stars is the service. For one, it was slow, and it was not crowded. We had to ask for a refill of our tea and water. Secondly, she asked if we wanted dessert and when we said we did, failed to bring us the dessert menu. I ended up getting up and going to the front to get one since she was nowhere to be found. With that said, we ordered the crème Brulé and the cheesecake. The cheesecake was so huge I ended up taking more than half home. All in all the food made up for the service."

DC Steak House

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (830) • $$$

"Years ago this was downtown Chandler's answer to an upscale steakhouse.In 2010, a Wisconsin native opened up DC Steakhouse in the historic square area. They became popular and did well. Years later, they moved to a swanky, modern spot around the corner complete with an enlarged outdoor patio and deluxe fire feature. Food: 2 starsEven though I love the physical improvements, my two stars are for the taste and value of the food. With many quality steakhouses around, the taste of my Mother's Day rib eye here lacked the rich and savory flavors that one expects from high end steakhouse. Their salad dressing was delicious but the "loaded potato" fell flat. The chocolate layer cake was also below average.Service: 5 starsOur server, Paige provided courteous and attentive service during our 90 min stay.Ambiance: 4 starsAn elegant white table cloth but comfortable fine dining setting.We had a nice experience but they need to improve their cuisine to the high standards set by fellow restaurants in the area to justify their upscale prices. *Note-A discount option is offered on the bill when paying with cash as opposed to non-cash."

The House Brasserie

★★★★☆ 4 (564) • $$$

"Went here for my mother 75th birthday dinner. Great atmosphere and layout of the restaurant was great. Indoor outdoor seating, service was unbelievable. Great local restaurant.Everybody at the restaurant is a wine specialist. The food was very fresh very well prepared they went above and beyond for my mother's birthday. Great music.It is in old town so parking is not the best. Food 5/5Food Quality 5/5Service 5/5Atmosphere 5/5Parking 3/5 ( nothing the restaurant can do about it) Location 5/5"

Wild Ginger Asian Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.3 (460) • $$

"My husband and I tried this place tonight for the very first time. The food was hot, fresh and tasty. The portions are a good size and the prices are fantastic. We highly recommend this place for your next Asian cuisine outing. Higley and Guadalupe."

Zona Cantina + Cocina

★★★★☆ 4.3 (443) • $$

"Zona is truly a hidden gem. Me and my bestie came on Saturday for brunch hour. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was not packed. The restaurant itself is so cute and clean. We decided to sit on the patio in she shade, since the weather wasn't too bad. They offer bottomless Mimosas, which is what we got. The bartender was so wonderful and made sure we were never low on our drinks. Now for the food! They have brunch menu items, but i really like that you dont have to stick to it during brunch hours, and can get anything on the menu. We got the mar y tierra roll, the chicken flauta appetizer, and the churro tower with ice cream for dessert. Everything was truly delicious! The roll had alot of great flavors. The flautas were nice and crispy, and I loved all the sauces and dips that came with them. Dessert was also perfect! I will definitely be back again and again!"

Las Glorias Grill Mexican Food

★★★★☆ 4.3 (430) • $$

"If someone was visiting from out of town and asked me where they should go for authentic Mexican, I'd point them to Las Glorias. Atmosphere was quiet and homey, service was sweet and fast, and the food is where it's at. They brought out complimentary salsa and beans at first. I ordered the carne asada combo, and what a deal. A variety of food on one plate for under $20. The steak was so rich, the tortillas were fresh and warm, and the cheese was sizzling. I was really pleasantly surprised!"
