• Cocktail Bar • Downtown Phoenix
BARCOA Agaveria is a basement bar that celebrates the spirits of Mexico. Serving imaginative craft cocktails and a vast list of agave spirits, BARCOA is often described as "vibey," "sexy," and "the time of my life" (says some dude from Mesa). Agave spirits such as tequila, mezcal, bacanora, raicilla, and sotol, are the stars here, available as flights, neat pours, or however you like.Reservations are only available for the basement bar. Please reference the Basement Bar Menu. Above BARCOA, check out the Cantina, a casual back-alley mezcal and tequila bar that serves affordable classic cantina cocktails, and the cheery patio, which features Provecho taco truck. Pop out anytime during your visit and bring food down to the basement. BARCOA can be tricky to find. We're located on the southeast corner of 1st Avenue & Roosevelt, in the historic red brick building. Don't worry, you're not lost. It's just poor directional signage that the City refuses to fix.

    The steaks were very good. The garlic maahed potatoes were light and fluffy with a good flavor. The squash was not fancy but perfectly cooked. The citrus burt cream was a very nice creme Brule with a wonderfully carmelized sugar top. Eric was an outstanding server. Service was outstanding. Only thing is that it can get a bit loud at times. Overall a great steakhouse with lots of history.

    Bacanora lives up to the buzz——lively, yet intimate. Casual and effortlessly cool. Friendly, knowledgeable, efficient waitstaff. Super background music that keeps the energy up but doesn’t drown conversation. And the food! We ordered elote, calabaza, and mole-crusted ribs with frijoles and cilantro salad. More than enough for the two of us, but we made room for flan. All delicious and different. And the cocktails! We had an old-fashioned-type and a classic martini-type, both with Mexican spirits. It’s worth the effort to score a reservation.

    What a fun place! Young, lively, decor great. Food delicious! Only get to Phoenix once a year and this place was not a disappointment for our only dinner out on the town. A definite do over. 4 star on staff was only because it was so busy and the bar seemed hard put to keep up. Everyone was cheerful, friendly and fun so 5 stars on the personalities!
