Muks Candles & Cocktails — Restaurant in Payson

Muk’s Speakeasy

Muk’s Speakeasy is one of Payson’s best-kept secrets. Tucked away with little fanfare, it gives you the sense of stepping into a place that only those in the know will find.

The lighting is low, the music sets a steady rhythm, and the whole room feels like it was designed to help you relax into the night.

It has character, not by trying too hard, but by leaning into a simple truth: people like to gather where they feel welcome.

The bar is the heart of the room. Cocktails are crafted with care, balanced and flavorful, with bartender who knows her way around both the classics and creative twists.

For those who prefer a straight pour, the whiskey selection is solid, and the staff are quick to offer suggestions without making it feel like a lecture.

The crowd here is friendly and laid back, a mix of locals and visitors who come to enjoy conversation and good drinks.

It's not loud or chaotic, but it isn't stiff either. Muk’s has found that sweet spot where you can settle in, enjoy your glass, and let time slip by without worry.

It's designed to be different than that. Top shelf ingredients mixed to bring out interesting, delicious flavors. Our group loves hanging out here for after dinner drinks. I almost hesitate to draw too many people here, but the staff here work too hard to not be praised publicly. We went here 2 days ago, and will be back soon. Deserving of...

This place is truly special. Cierra has created a beautiful space with a timeless feel. The ambiance is relaxing, friendly, and inviting. My Husband and I came by as they were closing and were welcomed by Cierra and Johnny. My Husband and I are new in town so we were happy to sit down and have a chat and a cocktail. After telling them about a vacation cocktail I had and was unable to recreate and loved, Johnny asked what I thought was in it and made it happen. Seriously talented mixologist. Amazing drink with fresh ingredients. #newkidintown Such a cool place to relax with great people. Anytime you sit down at a chill bar with Sinatra in the background is a...
