Hanny's Introduce
Welcome to Hanny's, a truly unique and compelling dining and nightlife destination nestled in the heart of Downtown Phoenix, Arizona. More than just a restaurant and bar, Hanny's is a piece of local history, housed in a landmark building that was originally the Hanny's Department Store, a significant example of International Style architecture from 1947. This history gives the establishment a distinctly stylish, upscale, and casual-yet-trendy atmosphere that sets it apart from other spots in the Valley. Hanny's masterfully blends its mid-century architectural heritage with modern, edgy decor and intriguing art installations, creating an unforgettable backdrop for a variety of occasions, from a business lunch to a late-night date.

★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1The department store vibe was there. The bathroom mirrored hallway was unique. Dimily lite bathrooms on the second floor. Stairs and elevator accessible. Quick trip to another set of stairs off the front door lead to the basement dolls.Honestly my food wasn't that good. I had a gluten free pizza with sausage, onion and mushrooms with vegan cheese. Base price on my pizza was 30.00. There was this small crumbly tasteless sausage and so many gross baby onions chopped itty bitty. It was crazy. I ate two slices. My friend had the regular chicken pesto flat bread, and he said it wasn't something he'd do again, but it was hella better than mine. I didn't drink. He had two. service was quick and she was in attentive. Parking is either garages nearby or street with metered parking spots.
September 25 · Tammy StaffordHanny’s absolutely made our night! From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable. We ordered the Carne Pizza—perfectly crisp crust, loaded with flavorful meats—and the Honey Hot Grilled Cheese, which had the ideal balance of sweet heat and melty perfection. Highly recommend both!We also tried the Ace of Spades and Queen of Hearts mocktails, and wow—both were beautifully crafted and delicious. It’s so refreshing to find a place that gives mocktails just as much love as cocktails!The tiramisu was the perfect ending—light, creamy, and rich in flavor without being too sweet.Beyond the food, the service was phenomenal—friendly, fast, and super attentive without hovering. You can really tell the staff takes pride in creating a great guest experience.The interior decor is modern and edgy, filled with interesting art pieces throughout. And don’t skip the basement—there’s a spooky little surprise that adds a quirky and unexpected twist to the visit!And the pricing? Totally fair for the quality and vibe—Hanny’s feels upscale without being pretentious or overpriced.This is definitely a go-to spot for locals and visitors alike. Whether you’re out for a fun date night or just want to enjoy great food and vibes, Hanny’s delivers on all fronts.
April 08 · ChantyphxThis place is so cool! Once a mens department store now a restaurant..the basement now a little creepy with dolls in front of a wishing table could easily be made into a speakeasy! With a main dining area that has a wicked cool Mannequin made of leftover items from the store. Plus, my fav, the elevator shaft thats a kaleidescope! Then you go upstairs to a retro little bar and funky bathrooms! The food is amazing! The drinks are great. The staff rocks. Love this place a must see.
August 01 · Jenny CervantezIt was recommended to us by our hotel, so we tried it. My salad 🥗 was delicious and fresh, but unfortunately, my husband's pizza🍕 was not a pizza🍕, but a flatbread 🫓 The service told us that it is normal in Arizona which is total nonsense. We just wanted a nice Italian pizza🍕. Of course, it's Neapolitan style thin but still not flatbread 🫓.
August 16 · Anna BanannaIt’s a really cool spot very nice and quiet perfect for dates or into my conversations. The drinks had a nice presentation and taste to them. Prices were very reasonable. Waiters were very attentive and polite. The bathrooms are so fun and cool. I loved the restaurant had attractions of its own free to be entertained by i would definitely come here again.
