The editorial take
Spirit House Kitchen & Cocktails is the tasting room for SanTan Distilling, pouring house-distilled spirits into a cocktail list that runs from a Double Gold Bourbon Old Fashioned to a Gold-winning Espresso Martini. The menu leans on Jacob Waltz whiskeys, with craft cocktails priced $10-$16. Local SanTan beers, a small wine list, and Athletic non-alcoholic options round out the program. Cocktails can be smoked for $1 extra.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Bourbon Old Fashioned, a Double Gold winner at the 2026 SIP Awards. The Espresso Martini, also award-winning, is a solid pick. For a spirit-forward option, the Black Manhattan with Jacob Waltz 4yr Rye and Averna Amaro. Try a tasting flight to explore the house whiskeys.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Whiskey enthusiasts and craft cocktail fans will appreciate the house-distilled spirits and award-winning cocktails. Those interested in local Arizona products will find the SanTan connection appealing. Non-alcoholic drinkers have a few Athletic options, but the focus is clearly on spirits.
- When should I go?
- Visit for a casual evening of crafted cocktails, especially if you're interested in trying award-winning drinks. The rotating Cocktail of the Week offers variety for regulars. Consider a distillery tour if you want a deeper dive into the spirits.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails range from $10 to $16, with old fashioned variations $12-$16. Wine pours are $8-$11, and beer cans are $7.25. Spirit pours start at $6 for a 1oz pour. Tasting flights are $9-$15. Bottle purchases range from $29 to $75.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The direct connection to SanTan Distilling sets this bar apart: cocktails are built on house-distilled spirits, and you can buy bottles to take home. The menu's customizable 'Make Me That Thing I Like' option and the ability to smoke cocktails for $1 add a playful, personalized touch. Multiple SIP Awards wins, including Double Gold for the Bourbon Old Fashioned, underscore the cocktail quality.

How it sits with the food
The cocktail list includes sweet and savory options like the Caramellow Dream and Sonoran Sour, which could pair with bar snacks. The menu does not detail food pairings, but the Painkiller's tropical profile might match lighter fare. The Bourbon Old Fashioned's boldness suits hearty appetizers.
