The Craftsman Cocktails and Kitchen

Our first time coming in and truly enjoyed every aspect of the night. We came in for my husband’s birthday, I had heard good things and wanted to give it a try. We loved the ambiance, it was low lit, quiet, with a great selection of music that brought us the back a sense a nostalgia. We enjoyed a couple of very unique and tasty cocktails before our meal. Our server was incredible, remembering and catering our experience to a food allergy we had called in ahead of time. The food was delectable and had flavor that left an impression. After our meal we were delivered the most delicious cookie and ice cream ever, every moment of the night was pleasant and refreshing. I highly recommend coming to this crafty little gem!

I’ve been coming here for a couple years now and this place is great! Cocktails and food are both amazing. The bartenders take special off-menu requests, and are even able to make things based on a flavor profile description. If you’re a foodie or craft cocktail person, this place won’t disappoint!

If you want amazing cocktails and a safe haven for gluten-free dining, The Craftsman in Tempe is an absolute must-visit, even if the dining room is shockingly on the quieter side. ​Masterful Mixology: The bartender is a true artist; the house-distilled spirits are smooth and unique. ​Dietary Inclusive: Clear labeling for Gluten-Free options makes ordering stress-free. ​Ingredient Quality: The food tastes farm-to-table fresh, not frozen or processed. ​Service: Staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly immediately upon entry. ​I would absolutely recommend this to my foodie friends who appreciate craft spirits and healthy eating, though I'd warn them to bring a group if they want a more lively atmosphere. Or come enjoy the chill vibe if they're looking for something more s

We moved here recently and have been trying to find “our bar”. We have tried a dozen and this place checks every box for us. The bartenders remember us. The food is out of this world, the rotating weekly special always piques our interest every Friday. The drinks are so fun and different. It’s small, but that’s part of the charm.

If you’re even remotely into cocktails, The Craftsman Kitchen & Cocktails is a must. This place quietly does everything right. The cocktail program is legit. Balanced, thoughtful, and clearly made by people who actually care about technique instead of gimmicks. It’s one of those spots where you can order off-menu, talk spirits, or just trust the bartender and get something excellent. The food is just as strong. This isn’t a bar that happens to serve food. It’s a real scratch kitchen, and it shows. Everything we’ve tried has felt intentional and well-executed, not just “bar food.” It’s an easy date night win, but also great for a low-key dinner and drinks. Bonus points for the location if you’re near South Tempe or Chandler, it feels like a hidden gem without the downtown chaos. Chill atmos
