The Phoenician Tavern

We came to the tavern every day of our stay at The Phoenician. While we received excellent service every day, Brittany G. was exceptional. She was communicative, kind, and attentive. We highly recommend the nachos, too! Great queso.

Friend and I went to Phoenician Tavern during AZ restaurant week and loved it! Tried gin drinks and had wine with dinner! Fig salad was amazing! Excellent service, delicious food and beautiful weather! Highly recommend Phoenician Tavern

I had the pleasure of dining at The Phoenician Tavern on Sunday, March 16, after church services with a friend and colleague. From the moment I entered the resort, I was captivated by the beautifully maintained grounds, the scenic drive past the golf course, and the inviting atmosphere of the tavern itself. The food was outstanding—absolutely 5-star worthy! The tavern burger was hands down the best burger I’ve had in a long time. The service was just as impressive, with a special shout-out to Daniel for his exceptional hospitality. The ambiance was lively and enjoyable, especially with the indoor-outdoor bar patio offering stunning views of the golf course. While the atmosphere was great, I’m giving it 4 stars simply because I expected a bit more of a refined resort feel. That said, I was pleasantly surprised by the unique offerings, including the St. Patrick’s Day menu, craft beer sampling, dueling pianos every Saturday, and bourbon tastings (reservations required). The Phoenician Tavern is a fantastic place to unwind, whether you’re knocking back a local craft beer, enjoying pub-style fare, or just soaking in the beautiful setting. It’s a hidden gem within a luxury resort that doesn’t feel overly formal—perfect for a laid-back yet elevated experience. I’ll definitely be back! ⭐ Food: 5/5 ⭐ Service: 5/5 (Thank you, Daniel!) ⭐ Atmosphere: 4/5

During our 5 day stay at The Phoenician Resort, we found ourselves at the Tavern 3 times. You cannot beat the daily happy hour (we loved the fresh margaritas and moscow mules) and large portions of food. We enjoyed the HUGE nachos, cowboy burger, burrata mozzarella salad, and the sliders. The service was always great with a special shout-out to Erin and Alejandro. They were so very kind and accommodating. Lily was also great! We made a reservation for dinner once and the other 2 times, we walked in without a reservation. On the last day (Sunday lunch), we did have a 30 minute wait but enjoyed sitting downstairs on the golf course while we waited. Overall, great food and great service!

My husband and I just arrived in AZ and googled a place to eat close to the airport. The Phoenecian caught our eye and it did not dissapoint. I was hoping to eat something delicious and nutritious and the Fig and Arugula salad recommended by our server was AMAZING! I got salmon on the side and ate every bite. Unfortunately I thought to take a photo when I only had one bite left. My husband got the French Dip sandwich with tater tots. He said it was the best French dip he ever had. We highly recommend!

The Tavern is near the spa on the opposite side of the pool from the main building. It is on the 2nd floor of the golf club. The place has a small patio and a huge dining room narrow and very long. They have many beers on tap and many food option including a limited happy hour many from 3 to 6pm. The service is very friendly, prompt and efficient and the food was tasty (the photos include 2 kids meals as well as regular dishes). They were very accommodating about allergy safe food. There are many TV screens all over playing ball games.

The service is a bit slow, but the food was good. Pork Chop not too dry. Burger was juicy. The tater tots were too dry though

Party of two on an early Sunday evening, arrived early and promptly seated. We were seated by the fireplace and as the room was a chilly, the hostess offered to turn on the fireplace, which we greatly appreciated. Not too busy but the music was a bit loud and a curious play list. Morgan greeted us promptly and took our drink order. The menu has a wide variety of options and we decided to split the Arizona Cobb salad and the French dip. Both meals arrived and were split for both of us, nice touch! The salad was great with a southwestern, avocados, black beans and corn over romaine with a tasty Mexican dressing. The trip French dip had a great mayo sauce and hot au jus, the only thing was it could have better bread than the white loaf they served. Overall a great meal.

Excellent experience at the Tavern. Spent a couple of nice hours having a couple drinks and a slow dinner over looking the golf course. The service was excellent and super friendly and the food was tasty!

Excellent drinks, great Happy Hour offerings, first-rate food. Experience the 1%-er lifestyle!!!!

I came here 3 times in 2 days - that’s how good it was. I never thought I’d see the day a burger would come so close to my favorite burger. Has an open patio, and the service is some of the most attentive and professional I’ve ever seen.

This resort is incredible. I went here on a work conference and it was surprisingly even better than expected. Beautiful grounds with top notch service and restaurants. Five star resort...five star review.

I just traveled from Illinois and was referred to come to the tavern for a light meal and beverage. Jared was my server and he was very good and attentive. I had the wings and a blooming pretzel. He also suggested a local light beer which was very refreshing. Everything was prepared well and had great flavor. The wings were nice and crispy and tasty. I have never had a blooming pretzel. It was served in a cast-iron skillet and you essentially pulled it apart and dipped it in warm cheese. It was unique and very good! It could definitely be shared. I could not eat it all. I would highly recommend this place for socializing and all the food on the menu looked very good.

I got the chicken club sandwich and it was mediocre—not bad, not great. Everything else was fantastic—drinks, views, and service was phenomenal. Brittany was a great server and super friendly. Overlooking the famous golf course was awesome. Would come back but would try different food. It’s pricey, but so is everything at a resort.

This restaurant is absolutely beautiful and classy. We basically just ordered a bunch of appetizers and shared them. The artichoke dip, pull-apart pretzels, duck fat Parmesan fries, and pork belly fried rice were all immaculate. The wings however left much to be desired. The tavern style is flavorless, and the buffalo was extremely acidic and burned my eyes even just getting close to them. Our server was nice, but not very attentive. Took a while to notice my empty drink and get me a refill. Bathrooms were very nice and clean as well. Overall a 4star visit.

We were lucky enough to be here on a Saturday night for dueling pianos. Lots of fun. The menu is ideal for a casual meal and felt like a good value. They're known for their boozie milkshakes. And I felt they had perhaps the best wine list of all the bars and restaurants on the property.
