This is a wonderful restaurant heard it was closed? Makes me sad drinks and food were fab!

The Scottsdale location is Permanently closed. It 's too bad, it looked like a nice place.

Chelsea is an absolute sweetheart and amazing server, she makes you feel like you have known her forever. We returned twice and had a wonderful time, even when they had an unexpected 40 top walk in. Will 100% go back.

Tables outside are not too comfortable but they have absolutely delicious food! I highly recommend bulgogi steamed buns!

We actually didn't stay to eat based on the sewer smell upon arrival, the messy back service station, lack of personnel and uninspiring paper menu. The craft cocktail was ok, nothing special for a craft cocktail establishment. Too many choices to return. So sorry.

Came here on a Saturday evening. Service was quick and friendly. Family friends and not too loud. Food portions were decent and drinks were good. Bao Pork BBQ tacos come in 3 pairs, very spicy and delicious! Good size, not tiny. Salmon tacos were good but will probably try something else next time. Hubby said his burger was good but a bit toasty, Would come back to try more items. Menus a bit pricey

We really enjoyed dinner here and our server was Austin. Super friendly, great service, attentive and he mixes a great drink! Dinners were served hot, presentation was nice, and flavor was top-rate. Menu was not huge but interesting with good diversity. Ambiance was good. Austin was awesome - thanks man!

Notice this when we drove down the street and glad we came back. Nice vibe indoor/outdoor, they could accommodate gluten free, service was good and food great. I had the chicken sandwich that had pork belly and the chicken breast could have stood on its own. My recommend would be no pork belly. My wife had the Ruben and loved it. Nice place and glad we tried it out.

went to the place in Litchfield park to check it out. ordered a drink, then went over to check out the so called "speak easy ". asked the three " bimbos" if I could go in to look around to see what it looked like. they wouldn't allow me in and gave me a bunch of BS as to why I couldn't go in! finally I went back to the regular bar finishe my drink and my two friends and I left ... for good! won't come back! dumb kids, not trained to build repeat customers. went down the road to tempo restaurant and had excellent service and food! don't waste your money and time at this dump!

Lovely service, wonderful food. The chicken sandwich was delicious, but it was the volcano pork that was truly yummy.
Went on a Sunday around 5:30, 6pm. The place was dead. Two other people were in the restaurant sitting at the bar. The music was so loud that even the waitress had a hard time hearing us. The food was mediocre at best. Not a great experience. There are too many other restaurants in the area to try. So if you want a relaxing place to chat with friends, I would not recommend the Craftsman Cocktails & Kitchen.

I cannot say enough about this place. First experience there last night and I was very impressed by the outstanding level of service we experienced. The waitresses were extremely attentive to my small group - even though we chose to sit out on the patio on a rainy night. Very helpful with recommendations, willing to accommodate our food/drink needs in any way - overall a very pleasant experience. Had the bao bun appetizer, the chicken wing lollipops and the distillery burger. Food was delicious, burger was cooked perfectly. Great ambiance. So exciting to have a place like this on the westside! Will definitely be returning!

It was a Thursday night at 6:00pm, cold rainy night, the roller walls were both open as was the front door. It was so cold in the restaurant we had to keep our coats on. The server said they couldn't close the doors because people were sitting by them. Made no sense. There was one server, only two other tables with two people each. It took forever for our drinks to be served. Our appetizer actually came out before the drinks and we had to ask again where our drinks were. Our food was ok. The salads were good but the chicken, I had added to my salad, was so dry. Very disappointing, Don't think we will be returning.

Excellent food and service. Thank you Chef Sid and staff for a delightful dinner. The Carrot cake for dessert was delicious.

We came here on Christmas Eve around 6:30pm. We were one of just two groups in the restaurant and we found out later that they had stopped reservations around 6 to allow for people to enjoy the space.The service was great! The waiter helped all of us with our needs including one of us who had a gluten intolerance.I had the chicken pasta which was delicious and a drink called Dry Heat which was a vodka drink with passion fruit puree and a jalapeño simple syrup. For dessert we had a lemon tart.The Dry Heat was by far star of my night! Perfect balance of spicy, sweet and tangy. I could have easily ordered more than two.Great place to get good American Cuisine with a nice flare and fabulous cocktails.Dietary restrictions: They do offer a gluten free bun for burgers and can substitute our dairy from certain dinner options if requested.
