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.

Another wonderful evening at Christopher’s. Always excited to see what he has on the menu, the view can’t be beat. So nice to be in a restaurant that isn’t wall to wall people. It makes for an exceptional evening. The last time I was there with a friend he stopped by the table which we loved. Tonight was there with family and they didn’t get a chance to meet him but they felt it was a very special and the best place we have dined at in Phoenix area.

The food was very good and service was great but for $300 for the ribeye not sure I would spend that much again as there are better tomahawks for a cheaper price elsewhere. Would like to go back and try the chicken and pork for way less

Overall, great experience! We started with oysters which were amazing. For dinner, two of us shared the trout, white beans & pork chop. The pork was out out of this world great. We would go back just for that. The trout was way over sauced with took away from the fish. The white beans were just ok. My boyfriend loved the seasonal salad which he said he would get again. Our server was great & helped us navigate the menu. The restaurant had great ambience but bring a sweater. It was cold. Overall, an enjoyable evening!
