My boyfriend wanted to plan a special evening and Undertow did not disappoint. Outstanding service, fantastic decor (loved the waves through the porthole) and a menu with so many wonderful choices it was difficult to choose. I tried the Starlight and Twin Monkeys. The waitress warned the Twin Monkeys was very bourbon forward and it was, in the best way possible. Absolutely delicious! He had the Blue Hawaii which was also yummy. The presentation of the drinks was impeccable! We can't wait to try the other bars. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed myself ; it gave speakeasy , cool vibes. The scenery is nice, the bartenders were awesome, and the drinks were on point

First impression, "wowzer". Been wondering about this place , they did not disappoint. Make a reservation if you want to get into this bar, it's worth it for sure. Don't expect a meal here, you come for the experience and specialty cocktails. Great service and drinks, I will definitely be back for another experience at the undertow.

Kristine was an amazing bartender, top notch service and quality. I only wish undertow lightning experience and totems matched the higher upgrades that the gilbert location has! Otherwise the ambiance is just as great . I'm so glad the audio matches the decor, tiki music, unlike platform 18 where they played hip hop in a speakeasy setting the time we went months ago. Well be back to both, still great!

My son invited us here as a surprise. It seems like it's hard to make a reservation. So be sure to do it in advance. The entrance is the same place as Central Grand. There's a free parking lot around the place. Inside Undertow, there is a full bar and booths, and only fewer seats on the side, it's not large place. It was filled up quickly. It's pretty noisy. Sometimes there's lightning, and you can see the tsunami through the window on the wall. It's quite enjoyable. I ordered Shapen and Sleep from Non-alcoholic menu because I can't drink alcohol. My husband ordered Mai Tai, and my son ordered In the Honor of Nameless Days. After that, we ordered various cocktails, and they all tasted fantastic! And the price was also high $$$. Especially In the Honor of Nameless Days is a high price but we loved presentation and sound! Highly recommend that.

We've gone to the undertow in Gilbert and this was a very similar experience. The people are so nice in there and set to make your experience a memorable once. The drinks are so great, and it's really the ambiance that sets it apart from other bars. The theme is you're below deck on a boat that seems to be sailing around the Polynesia islands. There's a volcano in one of the portholes, that moves around to different portholes suggesting you're moving! We chose this place because we had a tropical island theme for our wedding and it was our wedding anniversary, and what better way to celebrate a tropical theme than with tiki style cocktails. We loved it! It's best to make reservations, there's more information on the website, but they are 90 minute reservations. Sometimes you'll be able to walk in, just check with the people in the front.

I took my sister here as a pre-birthday surprise and it was really cool. It's a very lively and energetic atmosphere. The bartending crew was great and entertaining. Many tiki type drinks to choose from. I pre-ordered the Rally the Armada bowl and it was served shortly after we arrived. It tasted delicious. Tried the Fire Under the Temple which was tastey. I don't usually drink bourbon but I enjoyed this cocktail. The theme really hits home with the decor and surround sound. I'm glad we had the experience because I plan to go back.

This place is crazy! Felt like I was in a Pirates of the Caribbean movie or something. Absolute over the top experience. And I thrived in every second of it. I had a couple beverages. Couldn't tell you the name of them, but the magic they perform with rum is exemplary. I'm running out of vocabulary words trying to describe the exhilaration this bar brings. Every 15 minutes they simulate *the sound* of a rain storm. It was so symphonic and life-like, I damn near covered my head so I wouldn't get wet. If you gotta hot date, take em here. Make sure you get a reservation though.

This is not our first time at Undertow, but we recently received an email letting is know there is a new menu. The theme is now Mexican pirates. Everything in the bar looks the same, except the "view" from the porthole windows i(at least where we were sitting) s a Mayan temple. The music is also kind of Mayan sounding. They've added some food (munchies, not meals) and carbonated cocktails. We didn't have either. We ordered the Mamay Sapote, a yummy cocktail with two kinds rum, orange liqueor, macadamia nut, and white chocolate, and a classic Zombie. Both were delish! The drinks are great, but the atmosphere is really a huge party of the experience. A great place for a fun drink. Keep in mind that you have to secure your reservation with a credit card. The $12 per person deposit is applied to your bill, but the $6 fee is not. Also they add a 4% staff benefits fee.
