Guidebook for Phoenix
Food Scene
Hanny's
40 N 1st StGreat Hours, delicious food and drinks. Fun, unique atmosphere.
We recommend this place to EVERYONE! Especially for late night food. This place doesn't look like much from the outside, but looks can be deceiving. It is a small 50's looking Diner with only about 6 seats at the bar inside and a dirt patio outside. Most people sit outside. It is less than a 5 minute walk from our condo. It is open late. Lots of great beers and spirits. Amazing food, but not very cheap. Very popular place during Happy Hour and neighborhood locals love it. Just a really cool vibe. All of our guests who have tried it out have loved it. Some guests even went multiple times. Check it out on Facebook, instagram, google or yelp!
