| - My new absolute favorite place.
I was thrilled to hear of a "secret basement speakeasy" in downtown Chandler... after some research, I learned that they specialize in fresh, handcrafted cocktails. I'm more of a craft beer gal, so was even more thrilled to find a tap with local, seasonal, and according to the menu, always rotating selections. Cool!
We came to visit on a Saturday night. There aren't any signs, so unless you know what you're looking for, you'll walk right passed the entrance. Once inside, the ambiance is very warm, and dark lit. I anticipated a possible pretentious or obnoxious vibe, but was pleasantly surprised to not find either. No tv's, and was more entertained people watching and seeing the bartenders carefully put together beautiful and artistic works of art out of each drink. So much so, I had to try one. Brandon is a genious mixologist! After a few questions about my preferences, he put together the best cocktail I've ever enjoyed. No detail goes unfinished here. I haven't been to a spot like this since living in downtown LA or Seattle, and I'm proud to have The Ostrich right here in Chandler. Can't wait to go back!
