5. UNDERTOW
For a hot-weather town, the Phoenix bar scene doesn’t really have a whole lot of tiki bar action going on. UnderTow is helping to change that, though. The nautically-themed tiki bar is situated under Sip Coffee & Beer Garage and the design alone is what draws in customers. The bar retains its Victorian-era design, extremely detailed and refined to the point you feel like this is more otherworldly than kitschy. At UnderTow, we want to offer our guests innovative cocktails with a lot of flavors.
We strive to create drinks that are both refreshing and crave-worthy. Our menu consists of many new classics like mai tais and nouveau drinks as well as revamped versions of classics like the Dutchman’s Demise and the French 75.”The menu includes a wide variety of cocktails, including classics like the Rum Runner, Long Island Iced Tea, and Mai Tai. The drinks are served in large glass Mason jars with ice in them to keep the drink cold.
