PHOENIX — At The Stir Coffee Bar, one of a newest businesses to open during High Street in north Phoenix, coffee aficionados will find many coffee emporium staples on a menu: prohibited coffee, cold-brew coffee, light and dim roasts, espresso, baked foods, and sandwiches.
People might not expect, however, to find some of their other items, such as boozy coffee drinks, served prohibited or cold, alcohol-infused dessert martinis, even milkshakes with ethanol churned in. There is also a “hidden” bar in a back, too (which we will get to a tiny after on).
It is a latest try for Rick Bronson, a comedian and owners of “Rick Bronson’s House of Comedy,” a comedy bar located not distant from The Stir. In fact, both are located during High Street, a party growth nearby 56th Street and Deer Valley Drive, only north of a Loop 101.
“We unequivocally are perplexing to sell ourselves on coffee, cocktails, and conversations,” he told ABC15 in a new interview.
“We only suspicion it’d be a lot of fun to emanate a place that, as we said, is 1) a place to rally and 2) a place we can indeed go and talk,” he said.
The coffee emporium was desirous by a 60s, 70s, and 80s, Bronson said. There is a Pac Man-themed cocktail art on a wall, aged propagandize games, such as Etch A Sketch, and a selected gumball appurtenance planted on a shelf. There are colorful chairs and stools via and a tie-dye carpet in one area.

THE HIDDEN BAR
In a behind of a coffee emporium is a “hidden” opening to Gin and Reel, a tiny cocktail loll suggestive of “old Hollywood” during a 1920s. There are 4 vast black-and-white photographs of actors and actresses from a epoch on a walls, and a brew of stools, couches, patterned chairs, and benches for people to lay and relax.
Bronson pronounced many of a cocktails on a menu would simulate a 1920s, such as a Manhattan, Sazerac, Gimlet or Vesper.
“The thing that we’re unequivocally focusing on a many on a menu is being loyal to a duration as distant as how a beverages are made. So when we sequence an Old Fashioned, it’s like an Old Fashioned that was finished in a aged days,” he said.
Getting into a bar is another story. Technically, Gin and Reel isn’t listed on The Stir Coffee Bar’s website. But, if we occur to sleuth around and Google it, we will find a page that reads:
This Page Does Not Exist!
You Are Not Here!
Please Leave This Page Immediately!
This Page is Prohibited!
So, how accurately do we get in? Like a normal (and also illegal) speakeasies of a past, a cue is required.
So, how do we get a password? From what we’re told, it can be found inside a coffee shop.
