Gracie's Tax Bar

Been here in years past and decided to stop in on a Monday night. Was immediately made to feel not welcome by the security guy at the door. Even came up to me because he saw me line up a picture or two with my camera saying I need to ask for consent or be asked to leave…. But I guess you don’t need consent to take photos with a phone? Bizarre double standard, but I guess that isn’t surprising given the recent reviews by people offering similar experiences. Anyway, here’s some fun pics of the place. Won’t be back, though.

My best friend and I stopped in here yesterday after looking for a new bar to try out. They definitely didn't disappoint. Absolutely love the vibe and atmosphere. Bartenders are friendly. The patio area so huge. We found our new hang out spot.

I feel like I immediately knew this space was gonna either vibe me out or be absolutely cool. Walking into a nice track from the dirty projectors was a unique choice and at first, wasn’t sure if the energy was right but the bartender warmed up and it ended up being a nice conversation. He even had a hilarious movie playing, land shark or something like that. The veggie chopped cheese sandwich was the meal of our little phoenix trip. Flavorful, hot, and just all the right ingredients for a bar meal. I am still thinking about it. The Paloma made was well balanced and tasted better than most dive bars / regular bars. The indoor and outdoor spaces were nice and open, and the indoor jukebox had some great indie and choice vintage picks. I would come here often if I lived in the area, definitely. Beware of coming on the weekends or fridays, as we went in on Thursday with no line but decided we wanted another chopped cheese Friday night and then line went around the block. Definitely a spot to be!

The bartender deserves a shoutout for making one of the best cocktails I've had in a while. I told him what flavors I liked and he suggested something that wasn't even on my original list. It was exactly what I wanted. We also ordered some wings and sliders, which were fresh and flavorful. Great service and a fun atmosphere.

This is a weird bar. I had to check out myself. It's for the younger crowd for sure! Music was great went on Mexican night. Line is long to get in but goes fast. Workers are sweet, accidentally walked thru the back door and was escort right to the front by security very nice of him! If I was 20 years younger I would be here every weekend! Bathrooms are clean and very funny!!! Misters are great for the outside crowd. I had no issues had a great time!
