About Hanny's

Hanny's is a restaurant on 40 N 1st St in Phoenix, set inside a former 1940s department store with original architectural features still intact. A mannequin art piece made from leftover store items stands in the main dining area, and the basement holds dolls and old remnant items, giving that space a spooky character. The menu of 39 dishes includes the Chicken Club along with recurring options like the airline chicken, meatballs, and thin crust pizza, and the bar upstairs pours mocktails such as the Ace of Spades and Queen of Hearts. Seating is available at tables or at the bar. Reservations are recommended, though wait times build during busy periods and guests are notified by text when a table opens up. A step-free entrance allows access for visitors with mobility needs, and both takeaway and delivery let diners eat off site. Free Wi-Fi is also available throughout.

Customer Review Summary

The airline chicken emerges as the clear favorite here, with reviewers repeatedly praising its flavor and generous portion, though one regular noted a recent plate arriving skimpy on the usual potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms and hoped it was a fluke. Close behind, the Carne Pizza, Honey Hot Grilled Cheese, and sidewinder fries draw specific praise, along with cocktails like the huckleberry lemonade and mocktails such as the Queen of Hearts. The building itself, a former department store with a mannequin art piece, a haunted basement full of dolls, and a kaleidoscope elevator shaft, gets called out often as part of the draw. Service is mostly described as attentive, though it's inconsistent: one diner reports a bartender who was slow with water and careless pouring it, another cites a server who kept forgetting items, and a downtown resident complains of inconsistent soft drink pricing between visits. A separate reviewer describes being denied a price adjustment after standard sandwich ingredients were unavailable due to a grill issue, leaving them feeling undervalued as a customer.

    “First time in Hanny's. Came highly recommended by friends and I can see why. Great atmosphere, come as you are attitude, very friendly staff, and absolutely amazing food and cocktails. …”
  • Ben Davis
    “It's gotta be said, this place is magnificent. I'll start with the general atmosphere, I've never seen a place blend casual with formal so well. Walking in I thought I might be underdressed ( I was wearing shorts and a T-shirt) but I soon found that the vibe was lending to either fancy or casual. The various art installations in the restaurant are unique and like nothing I've ever seen. I'm not giving any spoilers because it's a must see! Time to get to the most important part, the food. I ordered the airline chicken and the meatballs both were so delicious that the only word that can possibly describe them is PHENOMENAL! Our server was Bri, she was excellent, super attentive and offered fantastic recommendations. If you ever find yourself in downtown Phoenix, Hanny's is a must.”

    “Lauren Treated us exceptional tonight. It was my first weekend here in Phoenix and she made me feel like I was a regular. The food was outstanding. Really recommend a margarita pizza with hot honey.”
  • Aaron
    “The service and atmosphere were great. They even have a haunted doll exhibit in the basement which was cool if you’re interested in that stuff. The food was not great. I had the airline chicken, it was a small portion and expensive. The potatoes and carrots were undercooked and overall not very flavorful. The drinks were good.”
  • Mimi Alvarez
    “My friend and I had a very disappointing experience at the bar this evening due to the female bartender’s lack of professionalism. After requesting a glass of water, I waited for an extended period and ultimately I politely had to remind her. When she finally provided it, she carelessly tossed water into our glasses while much of it spilling onto the floor, which came across as both unprofessional and discourteous, while having negative mannerisms. As someone who manages an upscale restaurant and works in interior design, I understand that hospitality environments can be busy and that occasional mistakes happen. Despite the disappointing service, I did appreciate the atmosphere of the establishment. The interior design and artwork are beautiful. Whimsy and fun ambiance. The lighting, in particular was my favorite. It’s unfortunate that the quality of service did not reflect the same level of care and attention evident in the venue’s design.”
