The 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. - Tammy Stafford

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.

The culinary focus at Hanny's centers on elevated American and Italian-inspired cuisine, featuring expertly crafted sandwiches, fresh salads, and, most notably, crisp, thin-crust pizzas. The kitchen maintains its service well into the night, making it a premier spot for late-night food in the downtown area. Coupled with a renowned bar program featuring an expansive selection of cocktails, wines, and local beers, Hanny's provides a complete and exciting experience for Phoenix locals, college students, groups, and visiting tourists alike.

The historic context of Hanny's is central to its appeal. The building, constructed in 1947 by prominent local architects Royal Lescher and Leslie Mahoney, was praised for introducing the modern International Style to Phoenix commerce. After serving as a sophisticated men's fashion destination for nearly forty years and later as a city fire training facility, the structure was thoughtfully rehabilitated. Today, the restaurant preserves elements of its past—from the original department store vibe to architectural features and intriguing 'curios'—that guests are encouraged to explore, ensuring every visit offers a taste of Phoenix history alongside exceptional food and drink.
