Phoenix Hidden Bar's Rising Star | Drop Dead Gorgeous

Phoenix’s Hottest New Speakeasy: Drop Dead Gorgeous – Retro Vibes & Unbeatable Cocktails ✨ I just found Phoenix’s most atmospheric new speakeasy—Drop Dead Gorgeous—and it’s instantly become my go-to spot! Tucked inside the Filthy Animal restaurant, it’s another standout creation from Pretty Decent Concepts. You might know their other hits like Wren & Wolf, its Trophy Room, or last year’s new Carry On, but DDG is *yet another* amazing surprise 🤩. 📍 Location & Entry: A Hidden Gem in Tempe The bar is right on Mill Ave in downtown Tempe—MAKE SURE TO BOOK IN ADVANCE! Check in at Filthy Animal’s front desk first, then a staff member will lead you to the back of the restaurant, near the kitchen. I thought we’d have to walk through the kitchen, but lifting the curtain next to the kitchen entrance left me stunned 😲: 💡 Dreamy, soft neon lights + mist from the fog machine transport you straight to the 70s. The slowly spinning disco ball is the cherry on top—romantic and retro, perfect for date nights or small drinks with friends 💕. 🍸 Cocktail Recommendations (Menu Updates Often, But Hardly Any Misses!) - Mega Viral 🥇: Signature must-order! Matcha version of Ramos Gin Fizz, with a fluffy milk foam made from egg white and cream—super smooth and rich, like sipping a cloud ☁️. - Lemongrass & Tonic 🍋: Lemongrass and yuzu-flavored gin tonic—refreshing enough to beat Arizona’s heat 🌞. - Desert Drink 🌵: Gin-based, with vanilla quinine, sherry, and Italian aperitif—bright and fruity, like a desert oasis in a glass. - Appletini 🍏: Uses real apple juice instead of green apple liqueur—barely tastes like alcohol, but has herbal notes from eucalyptus, fennel, and pineapple leaves 🌿. - Sesame Highball 🥃: Roasted sesame-flavored Japanese whiskey—has a stronger alcohol kick than the others, but still crisp and balanced. - Clarified Lemongrass Highball 🥛 (Non-Alcoholic): Blew my mind! Clarified yogurt base—transparent but packed with sweet-tart fruit flavor, refreshing and palate-cleansing. A must for non-drinkers 🫶. 🍴 Snack Recommendation The Glizzy Gauntlet: A two-tier platter with hot dogs, milk bread, and mini sausages—*perfect* paired with cocktails 🤤. It’s salty, savory, and hits the spot without being too heavy. 🚗 Parking Tips - Park in the Chase parking garage behind AMC—ask the front desk for a parking voucher (one per person, covers 2 hours, stackable!). If you’re with a big group, say you came in multiple cars to get more vouchers 🚗. - Free valet parking Thursday–Sunday—just leave a small tip 💸. Bonus: They accept inkind payments—get 20% credit back on every purchase to use next time! Hit me up for a referral link to get $25 off your first order—total hidden money-saver 💰. 🌟 Final Verdict: 10/10 Experience Ambiance, cocktails, and snacks are all on point—total vibe check! Next time you’re planning a date or friends’ night out, give DDG a try. You won’t be disappointed 🥂. #Phoenix #Speakeasy #RetroBar #CocktailLovers
