So today was my second time at Bitter and Twisted. The first being an early soft opening and the second being their grand opening. On the soft opening I went to I had a wait. A considerable wait. That's ok. I understand that a restaurant uses soft openings to refine their systems and work out the kinks. I know that my drinks will be discounted, my food will be comped, and the reason for this is that the restaurant or bar is using me as guinea pig. These are the trade offs that come with soft openings. They are not to get you in the door and try their stuff for free or discounted rates. They are to refine their service. With this said I expect good service and quality product on opening night when you have had multiple soft openings. Luckily Bitter and Twisted delivered on their opening night.
Every drink I've had here has been strong, delicious, inventive, and delicious. Also the drinks have been delicious and inventive and delicious and strong. I've yet to try something there that isn't one of the tastiest drinks I've had in Phoenix. It makes me a bit sad to see a few negative reviews dampen the beauty and creativity that has gone into this bar. I hope the rest can see past a few people who don't understand what a soft opening is and see what the rest of phoenix already gets. Bitter and Twisted is a next step in Downtown Phoenix as well as Arizona.
