This place has a lot of rules:\n1. You cannot wait inside if there are no seats available, even though when you go inside there is plenty of standing space near the ATM.  There is not standing at the bar, or around the tables.\n2. If you have a party more than 4, and you want to split a check per what you ordered, this will not be accommodated.  You will have to split it evenly.  This got very awkward for my group of friends because we all ordered very different things.  Luckily some of our party had cash so the four of us that didn't could pay for what we bought.\n3. They do not take reservations between 4 and 8pm\n4. There is a $10 minimum for a card charge, but luckily the drinks are $9-11 dollars, so you should be ok.\n\nI've been here twice.  Once was on a Thursday around 7pm.  We were told we couldn't have a reservation till after 8.  When I arrived at 7, the place was empty and luckily they sat us.  The second time was last Saturday (labor day weekend) and we were told it was a 2 hour wait for a cocktail... not dinner... so we went to another bar in cityscape.\n\nSo the first time I was able to actually get in was ok.  The drink menu is fun.  Tons of options and there was a fantastic graph on the back to help guide you if you wanted something exciting, sweet, traditional, or savory.  My cocktails were great, no complaints.  I was really excited to have a fun, new, cocktail place in phoenix so things were looking up.\n\nThe food menu has some left to be desired, but if you treat this as a place to get a drink vs. getting dinner, then you'll be fine.  The food was good though, just not a great variety. \n1.  I had the patte with bread, very yummy.\n2.  The Ramen Burger... well that was disappointing.  Yes, it says that there is a lot of sauce on it (\""extra napkins\""), but it really did over power the burger.  I could barely taste the beef or the ramen... really they acted like conduits for the sauce which wasn't that memorable.  \n3. My plain fries, a side that is separate, were really good.  I would like to have a cocktail and these fries every time I come here.\n3.  The loaded friends looked really good and my friends enjoyed them\n\nWe all liked being there, and I wanted to go back and introduce other friends to bitter and twisted (hence last Saturday) but they just make it too hard.  Also considering there is the blue hound, arrogant butcher and squid ink in walking distance (all have great cocktails and food).\n\nI will try to come back again, I just hope they accommodate customers a little better.
