Bar 1912 — Restaurant in Phoenix

March 2024 update — I considered leaving the neighborhood (both mine AND 1912 zip code),because of this spot. I wish I was joking keep reading if you wanna know more.

Born 1994 in this state, never left. This bar is named after the year Arizona gained its statehood. Thought cool I’m Down with the OG LOCALS…but apparently the owners of this place Chad and Blaise and whoever other speculating investor had other visions of what this place actually represents??? For state 48

February edit someone in parking lot named blaze or Johnny tried to fight me. Both work there. Beyond confused. Also very tall man with a mustache who works here as well, would not let me Get kicked out? (Aka walk 5 feet to me car without spending a dollar) of this bar until he could hug me? Doesn’t he know some people in service industry? Don’t want to be reminded of big, tall, hairy men that tried to touch them it’s pretty traumatizing to be honest, even for a boy. Prettt sure I aired this tall, handsome lean gentleman at my own establishment and he tipped me very handsomely so maybe that’s why he wanted to hug me because he’s like “dang my friends won’t let you come over to my party now But thanks for having me at your party last week”

WEAK SAUCE

I got Escorted out by their entire male staff (3 men, no security) , so I Walk to the other side of Seventh Avenue and got a Filiberto’s burrito for cheaper than a portion of any of their drinks — Big waste of time, but I got my steps in at 2 AM

Luckily, I saved money going here, because I was only going to drink like four of whatever the cheapest beer they had, and just sit there and enjoy the “arizona vibes”

I’m not trying to take this place down a lot of my best friends hang out here on a regular basis and that doesn’t chat my behind.

But these two guys want to be ambassadors of our copper state and obviously I got their original marketing campaign confused because they don’t want locals here or they don’t want locals with opinions here

So it’s a good bar if It’s your first time in Midtown Phoenix , want to blow a couple hundred bucks See some good looking people, And feel like you’re a part of the real wild west baby

The owner actually messaged me on my personal Instagram and told me I had to stay off “adjacent properties “I wish I got a screenshot because I’m not sure that would hold up in court if I was arrested on my daily walk to Lux ☕️ 🍪 coffee on turney and central

Original REVIEW — Jon made me a solid espresso and then I walked home

Would come back if it wasn’t so far , and it was crowwwwded edit would walk back

John’s music on tues was 👍👍👍👍👍👍

February 31 update I now realize in hindsight, I absentmindedly left my vaporizer on the counter while I went to get my smoke

this can be seen as rude and like you were holding down a piece of real estate, which is frowned upon in certain places,

and I also might’ve gotten some vape into their open door while I stepped outside to smoke so when I vape in the neighborhood, I will make sure to see if the door is closed

I need to quit smoking anyways and I am SMI with comorbidities for a young person My doctor has been telling me for years and I won’t do anything about it. 🤣

Thanks for reading

Thank you to the bartender with the mustache for letting me borrow their lighter and thank you to John with the mustache the bartender, for bringing my vape outside, wrapped up nicely in a menu like it was Toxic waste and then having his two buddies with mustaches walk home great night overall I’m never coming back because I didn’t get the drink. How do you...

2024/Update: Well all good things end up mediocre after a while. Came in after about a year and its not the same, which is expected...however its not as good on service and drinks as they used to be. Dropping some stars for lack of ability to maintain...

+++++ Discovered this place back in November(ish) 2021and it continues to impress. Low lights, cool jazz, and great cocktails... cannot ask for much more honestly.

Tucked behind Modern Manor, this little bar has a great soundtrack along with some of the best cocktails around. I enjoy coming here to either wait for a table @valentine or to get things started for whatever else.

Opens at a perfect time to get your night started with some good drinks and small plates if you can't figure out what is next! Love the fact that every time I come back its nice and busy, but never crowded.

So far the Woodland is my goto starter (and ender) but that's the bourbon drinker in me. I also love the Cotton. I tried the Cattle, love it, however it's more rich than usual so I tend to go back to my dryer bourbon drinks. They make a great Old Fashioned as well as its a full bar anyways! The small plates are great as well!

If you complain about price...you don't belong here, simple as that. Plenty of gin joints to choose from if your looking for a cheap drink. Raise your standard, don't try and lower...

June 7th, around 11:02 PM we walk inside and are seated. My boyfriend and I love the atmosphere yet this has been the worst service I have ever had! The waiter next to us is talking to her so called friends who have sat down and I hear them mentioning food service. The menu said food until 11:00 PM, yet we thought why not give it a shot and ask. The girl raises her voice, and pulls out her phone to verify the time and fact check us…. Odd but whatever

Now the main situation was with a gentleman with glasses and dark hair early 20s. He comes up and looks at my California state license, vertical age 21 in 2024 of THIS MARCH. He then decides to stare at it and question if I’m an Arizona or California resident, ask me if I’ve been able to access clubs in Arizona and more. He then tells me that Arizona vertical licenses must be changed…. But mine is obviously out of state and is a valid ID. Once I shut him down from questioning me he says “ WHATEVER!” And walks away flamboyantly with hands in the air like a 16 year old. It’s one thing to check an ID, but to be questioned from someone who is practically my age as well…. Very very...
