In town for Valentine’s Day and tried out this spot for a little date night. The vibes were immaculate and the service was amazing. Everyone was very attentive and nice and knowledgeable about the food and drink options.
We got a few of the happy hour items and the crab dip. Everything we had (crab dip, oysters, jumbo shrimp, fried cauliflower, drinks) was so good. Highly recommend getting a “bartenders choice” drink. My fiancé ordered one and it was incredible.
They also validated my our parking from the parking ramp inside so that was very appreciated!

The “Smoke Show” is by far the best Old Fashioned style cocktail I’ve ever had, and I’ve had my fair share… Pictures don’t really do the speakeasy vibe justice.
The food is beyond incredible, slighty higher price tag but damn if the food isn’t worth it and then some. And the staff are the icing on the cake. Without a doubt my go to spot in Phoenix.
Can’t reccomend it enough.

We have heard about this place and wanted to check it out. So we decided to go for our anniversary! It’s a cool speakeasy vibe because of needing to take the right elevator down and it being so hidden. Plus all the fun drinks! We had the artichoke and potatoes and the carpaccio for an appetizer, which was really good. Be careful though, the white swirls on the plate with the potatoes, is butter and not sour cream, ! For our entree I had the duck breast and my wife had the bone in pork chop! Both were very good. The duck was fantastic!! They put a char on the skin and the duck was perfect! So tasty!! In all, this place is awesome!! A little loud, but worth it!

From start to finish, Rough Rider delivers an experience that goes far beyond dinner—it’s an evening to remember. The atmosphere is warm and vibrant, the food absolutely phenomenal, and the energy of the place makes you want to stay long after the last bite.
Our server, Heather, was an experience all her own. She has that rare gift of perfect timing—knowing when to bring the next course, when to crack the perfect joke, and when to quietly make sure everything is just right. Her service struck the ideal balance of humor, grace, and genuine hospitality. You can tell she loves what she does, and it shows in every interaction.
The food? Second to none. Every dish was crafted with care and bold flavor, from first bite to last. And the signature cocktails—diverse, creative, and so much better than one could even expect. Each sip was its own story, crafted by bartenders who clearly know their craft.
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, an anniversary, dining with coworkers, or just out for a casual drink and dinner—Rough Rider is the place to be. This restaurant begins and ends with a smile, and Heather made sure ours never left.
Simply put, a flawless evening. Highly, highly recommend!

Hard to find but worth it. Tyler and Brandon will make you night with the best drinks and exquisite bartending skills. The vibes are ‘speakeasy’ and the food is superb. The drinks are to-die-for and if you don’t know what to order, ask the bartenders. Definitely stop and have a bite!

Popped in for drinks and an app and loved the cozy atmosphere with its speakeasy-esque feel. The fried cauliflower appetizer was a standout, and the “When Sirens Sing” cocktail was perfectly jammy and sweet. Definitely worth checking out this cool spot!

Some of the best cocktails that I’ve had in a while. We tried everything the server recommended and really liked all of it. The service was great. Definitely coming back when I’m in Phoenix again. Only issue I had was that it was a bit cold. The ac in there works great. But totally worth it.

Wow! Such a great place! The cocktails are amazing!!! Always try the clarified cocktail. Yet all the others are amazing! The food delicious as well. Olivia was superb and always helped someone in our party to order exactly the cocktail they desired! This place has been on my list for 2 years and we finally made it!

Had to break the gate to the upstairs taco shop but we finally found our way in. Dark place, not as quiet as it should be given the setting. We had Olivia as our server, and let me tell ya, world class service! We started with oysters, fresh and briney. Wife ordered some cauliflower, which I’m usually not a fan, somehow they made it savory and delicious with amazing pickled onions. It was pretty damn good. Have I mentioned Olivia was our server? For entrees I had the ribeye and the wife had crab legs with some shrimp. The potato puree with the steak was amazing while the steak was the literal melt in your mouth. Wife was very happy with her crab legs and shrimp. For drinks we had old fashioned and sangria, both perfect. Did I mention Olivia was our server and was great? An excellent place with excellent drinks , great food and a server that was beyond compare.

Great spot in Phoenix for happy hour or a fun date night. Food was tasty and unique flavors, service was great and our server was very attentive. The noise level gets a little loud but the decor is super cool and it’s a great place to meet friends for a bite. We had several drinks, would recommend the smoky drink and one of the cobbler drinks. The crab dip was delicious, good size and good amount of crab. Would highly recommend the roasted chicken, it was savory and the puree under it was creamy and delicious. More of a limited menu but everything on it was delicious. Unique food combinations, not a typical steak house at all.
