I used to LIVE at The Swizzle Inn and sadly only make it back occasionally. This really is a great bar and was the first cool place I found when I moved to Phoenix. It is an unpretentious dive bar that attracts a diverse but generally friendly, fun-loving crowd. The bartenders are great, especially Darlene and Courtney-they will always take care of you. The prices are fantastic and they always have drink specials. If your goal is to get loaded, you can probably achieve your goal here for under $30. BEWARE of the Mystery Shot unless you don't have to work in the morning. The have probably one of the best juke boxes in town, and there is pool and darts. They also have an awesome bathroom for the ladies-yes, on one particularly drunken night I was dragged into the ladies room and myself beheld the much talked about Swizzle Inn ladies room.
