Warning: This place is not in Phoenix but is worth seeing because it has a lululemon outlet. Check that out for amazing prices on winter gear in particular (because AZ makes it very discounted).
The outlet is across the street from Westgate.

In all my world travels in various cocktail lounges, nothing has compared to my delight at the tiki style cocktails at undertow. It is literally underground inside of SIP Coffee and is very hard to get into. I recommend getting a reservation and having a meal upstairs while you wait.
