Garden Bar Phx

Situated in a 1914 bungalow, Garden Bar is among the growing crowd of food and beverage spaces looking to salvage some of Phoenix’s history. Even better, the renovated house was left looking like, well, a house, so you feel like you’re enjoying an evening drink with the neighbors. There are cozy spots and comfy chairs and everything just makes you want to relax and stay—especially the drinks. The menu changes with the season, with James Beard-honored and storied mixologist Kim Haasarud at the helm. Cocktails could be anything from a Plush Port Punch with clarified milk punch, ruby port, and rose to the Kilroy Was Here, a nod to previous Irish owners (Irish whiskey, black tea, peach, and mint).
