We look Forward to You Stopping In!

Uptown Phoenix's Iconic Dive Bar

​Swizzle Inn is a one-of-a-kind dive bar in Phoenix serving strong drinks, good beer, solid vibes, and zero judgment since the ‘90s. Hiding out in the strip mall off 16th Street and Bethany Home, we’re pirate-inspired, beachy in spirit, and lit up with year-round Christmas lights. You’ll find trivia nights, pool, a jukebox that never quits, and a crew that feels like instant regulars. No food, no fluff — just great pours, good people, and a place where everyone fits in. The Swizzle Inn has been a true staple in uptown since opening in 1996. Thanks to a new ownership group, this beloved, divey neighborhood bar will continue pouring drinks and serving holiday beach vibes. ​

Stepping inside, however, the bar is bedecked with playful details that nod to Christmas at the beach. The ceiling is covered with strands of tinsel and lights. At the bar, order a $2 brown bag mystery shot, cold beer or a mixed cocktail. There’s a jukebox where you can queue up anything from Queen to Willie Nelson. Or you can grab your drink and sip it over a game of darts or pool. This fun, festive spot is one of Phoenix New Times' favorite dive bars. 

POV Foods said it’s not trying to change the Swizzle. That means patrons can expect the same folks behind the bar, the tinsel on the ceiling and weekly events like Wednesday trivia to continue on.
