Little Rituals

It’s been a big year for downtown Phoenix bar Little Rituals. In July, the ritzy cocktail destination was named the top hotel bar in the country. And while the bar, which is located on the fourth floor of the Residence Inn by Marriott Phoenix Downtown, has always seen many hotel guests and out-of-town visitors, it became a sought-after supernova following the awards. This elegant spot is a treat for locals and visitors alike. Head up the elevator and through a metal beaded curtain to enter the swanky space. Glittering lights and upholstered chairs add to the luxe feel. The cocktail menu reads like a picture book, with each drink featuring its own illustration and description. Drinks range from riffs on classics to wholly unique creations you won’t find anywhere else. And if all that reading works up an appetite, this cocktail bar has a standout selection of bar snacks ranging from nibbles to full meals. Next time you visit Little Rituals, make a night of it.
