Great place for a cocktail or two with daily drink specials. Beautiful, unique atmosphere with aesthetic decor with an enchanting patio, indoor lounge area, bar seating, fireplace, and even pool tables. They have a cheese board available but it’s a bar, not a restaurant. You are allowed to bring in outside food or receive door dash if you are hungry.

Ok I'm a straight female but I love coming to Bar 1 for drinks and to socialize with people. They serve great drinks the bartenders are cute and I love their security guard he's just the nicest guy in Phoenix. This is a great bar to have a great time gay or straight.

Music is so loud you can enjoy your drink or company! I'd rather the dogs be back a lot more comfort!
