Launching on Sunday, September 10, UnderTow will celebrate its one-year anniversary with a new handwritten, hardbound menu brimming with 38 handcrafted cocktails (including 25 all-new recipes), plus expanded hours (now open daily) and a new happy hour. And new, improved nautical special effects for this subterranean bar designed to resemble the cargo hold of a centuries-old clipper ship, including digital TV portholes that make it seem like the ship is sailing across the open ocean. UnderTow was an instant hit when it launched in August 2016, including earning a prestigious “Best New American Cocktail Bar” nomination from Tales of the Cocktail, an annual event in New Orleans that’s considered the Oscars of the beverage industry.  

Starting on September 10, UnderTow will be open Monday though Thursday (4 pm to midnight), Friday and Saturday (4 pm to 2 am) and Sunday (2 to 10 pm). Located at 3620 E. Indian School Rd. (beneath Sips Coffee & Beer Garage), call 602-753-6504 to reserve your spot or visit www.undertowphx.com for their reservation policy.
