Coffee Shop/Speakeasy Now Open in North Phoenix

Local comedian and businessman Rick Bronson is serious about his new venture, a coffee and cocktails hybrid located in north Phoenix.

The Stir Coffee Shop and Gin & Reel Speakeasy recently opened down the street from Bronson’s comedy club in the upscale High Street development east of Desert Ridge Marketplace.

“The Stir and Gin & Reel is unlike anything in the north Phoenix/north Scottsdale area,” Bronson said in a press release.

The Stir opens at 7 a.m. daily and serves up coffee drinks and milkshakes, with alcoholic options, and ice cream.

The shop also has breakfast and lunch menus with bagels, pastries, sandwiches and bar items.

The Gin & Reel, which gets the prohibition-style party started at 3 p.m. daily, can be found through a hidden entrance in the back of The Stir and stays open until 10 p.m. weekdays and 2 a.m. weekends.

The speakeasy was designed to evoke an old Hollywood vibe, with vintage projectors, director’s chairs instead of barstools and black and white movies playing.

“I take great pride in creating concepts with environments that encourage the spirit of human connection as it once existed and that people long for today,” Bronson said.

The shop is located at:
5415 E. High Street, Suite #103
Phoenix, Arizona 85054
