Lovecraft

The food was delicious when we finally got it after waiting an hour and half. Don't come here on a Sunday evening, they were out of everything! Because we had made a 45 minute drive to try this place, we chose to wait it out for brisket and meatloaf to be done. We loved the atmosphere upstairs on the rooftop patio, and Jake was a fantastic server! Unfortunately there were too many bugs after the sun went down, so we moved down into the restaurant where the service wasn't great. We got the green chile mac and cheese with brisket on top and the meatloaf - pictures don't do justice, the light inside the restaurant was very dim

It was night time, and we sat on top roof, lights went out! Waiter was awesome manager was a bit odd,he didn't mind me standing to eat my plate as he tried to dig out the lighting plugs In the seats. Didn't try and comp anything quite rude,maybe over worked tired. The place was beautiful, very pricey for the dry chicken salad I ordered, had to request extra dressing so I could swallow my food. Ordered a flight of mead, not that impressed. Took some awesome pictures of the stormy night!

Lovecraft rocks my world! My wife took me as a surprise for our anniversary, and I don't think I could have had a better experience. New Mexican food holds a special place in my heart, and I was not disappointed by the selection! We ended up getting poutine (for my fellow Canadians: not authentic by any means - the gravy is white, not brown - but very very good anyway!), my wife had prime rib quesadillas, and I had the green chile burrito. Everything is green chile in some way, which brought me so much joy. I couldn't finish my dinner but brought the burrito home, and somehow it's just as good heated up the next day for lunch (as I write this)! The staff was lovely, including (I believe) the owner - great service, kind employees, and it felt like a very welcoming and respectful place. I'm not huge into beer but had the most fantastic blueberry cider (!), and my wife loved the strawberry basil beer they had on tap. The desserts were also to die for - cheesecake isn't usually my thing, but they had a goat cheese cheesecake and I had to get some! Spoiler alert: it was awesome. Prices were super reasonable as well, our entrées were in the $20-30 range, and a 12oz of the blueberry cider was $12! I didn't get anything from their plant based menu, but it exists and looks awesome. Ambiance was also fantastic, lots of cool chandeliers and velvet curtains. This place really does seem to have it all. We will be coming back again and again!!!

We've eaten here twice now and will definitely be going back. The atmosphere is fantastic, the food is truly incredible, and the service is too notch. Everything we've ordered has been outstanding. I personally can't stop craving their smoked prime rib quesadilla! There is an absolutely stunning rooftop eating area that we have not been able to try yet because it had been 110 degrees plus since we first visited, but you can bet we'll be up there once the weather cools down. The inside dining room is softly lit and comfortable, evoking the vibe of a speakeasy. There is a full bar and their rosemary goat cheese cheesecake is one of the best desserts I've ever enjoyed. High recommend on Lovecraft!

First time going here the other day. We walked in right at 3 o’clock, so we got very quick service in a super cool atmosphere. We sat at the bar and had happy hour margaritas which were delicious because they’re not too sweet and they’re not too sour. We had the queso and chips which was awesome and the stacked green chili chicken enchiladas amazing. We took home a bottle of green salsa and a bottle of red salsa and I am standing in my kitchen eating them with chips for breakfast as we speak. Highly recommend this establishment really cool New Mexican Vibe and food. Came back on Sunday and got fried chicken and green Chile Mac. OMG. LOVE LOVE LOVE

Awesome atmosphere! We stopped in for an app and a drink the smell at the door was amazing and made my mouth water for that smokey flavor. We got the Nachos and the chips were super light and airy and although I prefer my cheese melted onto the chips the queso was awesome.

We came in for happy hour on a Friday evening and had passed this place a million times on the road but never came in until now. We sat on the rooftop, the staff was very friendly and quick. We ordered the green chili Mac and cheese, the prime rib quesadilla and green chili Cornbread. Everything was very good especially the Mac and Cornbread. The atmosphere was very cool we will be coming back again soon!

Super cool vibe! Very speakeasy-adjacent with moody lighting, deep rich colors, and music chill enough that I didn’t have to shout my order like I was at a tractor pull. We grabbed a drink at the downstairs bar first, then headed up to the rooftop patio, which is gorgeous. Tons of shade, perfect weather, and just a great spot. Trevor was our server, funny, friendly, and totally on it without hovering. His recommendations were spot on, and he somehow convinced us we now need to come back for Fried Chicken Sunday. Service in general was great; everyone was helpful and actually present. Apply Ever After: basically a very grown-up apple cider. Even my husband, who can detect a thimble of whiskey in a gallon of water, said it wasn’t harsh or whiskey-forward, which feels scientifically impossible but here we are. Prickly Pear Margarita: light, sweet, and not overly limey. Don’t get the salted rim unless you’re craving a full-on salt lick experience. The Other Daiquiri: fruity, sweet, and gives big “New Orleans, third hurricane, questionable decisions pending” energy. Loved it. Cup Green Chile Stew: okay. Stop everything. This is green chile brisket and pork. Never seen that before, and now I want it everywhere. Yeah, it’s a little pricey, but it’s basically a bowl of incredibly tender meat bathing in glorious seasoned grease. Intense, meaty, spicy perfection. Tortillas come out warm and pliable like they’re auditioning for a tortilla calendar. This is a 12/10 must-order situation. I’d come back for this alone. North Carolina BBQ Sandwich: pulled pork, vinegar slaw, vinegar sauce. Flavor was solid and the sauce had the perfect tang, but the bun desperately needed a toast because it fell apart like it just wasn’t emotionally prepared for this sandwich. Queso fries were exactly what you’d expect: frozen fries and queso politely coexisting. Pozole: deep red, rich, and just the right amount of greasy, the kind of comforting greasy that fixes you from the inside out. Hominy still had bite, broth was flavorful. No notes. Overall, this place hits the vibe, the service, and the food. A couple tiny misses but nothing even close to a dealbreaker. Between the cocktails, the rooftop, and that absolutely ridiculous green chile stew, this spot is officially going into our regular rotation. If you’re on the fence, just go, you’ll be glad you did.

We went for happy hour today and it was excellent. Cannot wait to go back. The food was fantastic. It's one of the best and most interesting menus I've seen in awhile. I had tacos and a margarita and both were terrific and very tasty. We ordered two nacho and queso dishes for table and everyone loved them. The grilled meat is the big draw here. Service was attentive, friendly and fast. We were never left waiting and at the end, our server sorted the checks efficiently and got everyone the right bill. The ambiance is good and comfortable. Although the restaurant was full and very busy, we had no trouble hearing because the ceiling is low and absorbs sound effectively. This place does everything right and I cannot wait to return!

service is good, very knowledgeable and quick. there is no that's not my table attitude. had several people ask how we were the restaurant is cute and very leave the world outside vibe the food.. wow. something different. I was very excited some it was Albuquerque based. Rich bold chili flavors, but not so spicy you can't taste the food! It did not disappoint! i don't think there's a dish that can go wrong here. check out the specials before you go!

My friend and I have been wanting to go to Lovecraft for a while and unfortunately we went on a rainy day after we had already had dinner. Unfortunately because the menu looks dope and they have a whole plant based menu! And we couldn't sit on the rooftop because it's not rain proof. The inside though is nice and dark and moody. I love the way they display their wine on the wall and they have mead! They also have a ton of beer on tap and you can actually see the color displayed in glasses on the wall. I don't drink beer but it looked really pretty. Service was good and the only reason to give 4 stars is the guacamole (the only food we got) was fairly bland but we added their hot sauce both red and green and it made it much better. The chips were warm and salty. Also it was pretty pricey for getting two glasses of wine, 2 glasses of mead and guac and chips!!! $80!!!! I'm definitely coming back to sit on the patio and partake in the plant based menu with lots of dishes with jackfruit and smoked mushrooms.

Super cool vibe! Very speakeasy-adjacent with moody lighting, deep rich colors, and music chill enough that I didn't have to shout my order like I was at a tractor pull.

We started our night at the bar because the patio wasn't yet open, so we each had a cocktail at the bar and then we moved upstairs Trevor was our server, and was very attentive The view of the mountains from the rooftop patio is beautiful, and just another reminder of why I love to call Phoenix my home PRICKLY PEAR MARGARITA arette blanco tequila, iconic cocktails prickly pear, fresh lime + orange liqueur VERY refreshing, prickly pear flavor but not in your face, the salt rim is overwhelming(!!) but through the straw it's a nice cocktail CUP GREEN CHILE STEW thick-n-hardy green chile brisket-n-pork, melted cheese w/flour tortillas Holy meaty goodness, this does not skimp on the protein, with both brisket AND pork, amazing flavor, nice, respectable heat that builds, and topped with queso, served with a flour tortilla, this could easily be a meal on its own Bonus smoked jalapeno to nibble on BBQ SANDWICH We got pork, served on a noble kona bun w/ queso fries The bun could use toasting to make it a little bit more sturdy, but the meat is very flavorful, tender, seasoned well We got a side of the North Carolina barbecue "sauce", which was more like jus, but it made for great dipping The queso fries were very nice Definitely plan on returning, would absolutely recommend

It's a cute place. It's amazing the outside chandelier can withstand heat and rain. I've been here few times some of it was a little spicy but tasty. Everything I've tried has been good. The service is prompt and friendly.

We love this place! We've been here twice and both times had a great experience. The service is fast and friendly and we love the vibe. The menu is a little challenging for me because I don't eat red meat but their version of the wedge salad (with chicken) is awesome. You must try the broken chip nachos with mushrooms. Fantastic!

First time at Lovecraft. I thought I hated brisket. However, I had the brisket nachos and they changed my mind about brisket. Some of the best nachos I've EVER tasted. Great selection of beers. Fantastic servers. Loved it.

This place was fun! Very dark and intimate setting inside, they do offer outdoor seating too. I really appreciated the large beer list they had, but decided to try one of their cocktails, El Smokey Peach. It was nice, full of flavor. We decided to try some appetizers too. The green chile cornbread muffin was fantastic, I highly recommend it! The bacon wrapped jalapeños were also good, but smaller than I was expecting. Also kind of pricey for only 5. Probably will skip these next time. They offer Mexican food and bbq, which was interesting. I tried the street tacos entree which comes served traditionally or the LoveCraft way. I went with the LoveCraft way since it included guacamole, and chose chicken for the protein. They were good, but I also tried the brisket tacos and they were incredible. I would definitely order brisket street tacos next time. Our waitress was nice. The other servers working were also friendly. I would come back here again.

We were looking for a bar/ lounge just for drinks and found this hidden gem. The décor is mesmerizing and quite unique whether for a romantic evening or a get together. What impressed me the most was the age range of the clientele ! From young to older it was nice to see a place that appeals to so many different generation. The bartender was quite friendly and made me a drink based on my likings. He change the water bottle regularly to assure we had cold water . The food smelled amazing and I can't wait to go back and try it.

I can't believe I've been driving past LoveCraft every week for the past 3 years and only just tried it, thanks to a friend's recommendation. Honestly, I'm kicking myself for not coming sooner! This place is cozy, creative, and so uniquely decorated. Everywhere you look, there are little conversation pieces that make the atmosphere feel fun and memorable. It's the kind of spot where you just want to sit, take it all in, and enjoy. The menu is pretty diverse so there's something for every mood or craving. My boyfriend and I couldn't decide, so we split the Smoked Rib Quesadilla and the Hatch Green Chile Burger. Both were incredible. The quesadilla had rich, smoky flavor that I kept going back to, and the burger was juicy and packed with flavor (just a little messy, but in that good "worth it" kind of way). One thing that really stood out, they serve water in old recycled liquor bottles, which we thought was such a cool touch. We're not big drinkers (maybe once or twice a year), but the bottle itself caught our attention, and we ended up asking for a sample of the actual drink. It was the Superstition Meadery - Peanut Butter Jelly, in case you're curious Let's just say... it was absolutely delicious, and now we have a new favorite to add to the list. (Pic in review!) The entire meal, I kept telling my boyfriend how much I loved everything. If I had to choose, the quesadilla edges out the burger just slightly for me, but honestly, both were worth every bite. Cozy vibes, fun décor, amazing food, and creative little touches! LoveCraft just earned a permanent spot on our date-night rotation. Don't wait 3 years like I did!

Overall I'll give this restaurant a sold 3.8/5. First off the staffs were nice and friendly, but my deduction was on the wait for our main dishes. Starving and ordered chips and cheese dish. I tried to just snack on the chips, but ended up eating the entire plate since the food took a minute. Nevertheless, the green hatch cheese dip was great and well seasoned. chips was thin just the way I liked them. Chicken Chimichanga 3/5, for a fried burrito, there was not a bit of crunch, just feels like a regular wrapped burrito that was likely toasted. Additionally, was expecting something else besides meat inside the chimichanga, like cheese, corn, rice, bean, etc. but it was all served separately on the plate. For the side rice, it was overcooked and a bit tough. Meatloaf 4/5. Definitely the star from what we ordered. The meatloaf was tasty with a perfect balance of salty and sweetness blended together.

Fortunate to have this restaurant in our area. Part of our restaurant rotation. Our favorite dishes include the queso fries with brisket, green chile burger and Lovecraft tacos. Outstanding food!

First time and 100% pleased! Great environment. Ate off the happy hour menu! Just like we like. BBQ is really tasty. Service was EXCELLENT! We'll be back!

Tried out Lovecraft after seeing a video on social media. We will definitely be back! Great speakeasy atmosphere with delicious food and wonderful ambience. We had several staff waiting on us - one guy was fairly new, but they were all great, continued to check in and make sure we liked our food and drinks. The rooftop bar had a great view and equally nice ambience. Food - carnitas tacos and queso fries were amazing! Green chili stew was spicy but yummy. We will definitely be back!

Lovecraft in Phoenix is such a standout spot. The atmosphere is moody and inviting, with rich colors, soft lighting, and just the right soundtrack to set the tone. The drink menu is impressive, from expertly crafted cocktails to a solid beer selection, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The food was delicious, and I left looking forward to my next visit.

I've come here twice and both times I've had a wonderful experience. Food is delicious and the service is very good

Hadn't been in a long time. Meeting my friends here for Happy Hour and 1/2 wine bottles. Perfect.. Went upstairs as the weather was amazing. But it's so loud up there. Really can't enjoy it. But it is pretty. Came down to the nice dark dining room. Ordered the watermelon wine spritz. A pop cycle in the sparkling wine. Very fun. Then the appetizers. Queso with brisket. 4 tacos with brisket... and broken nachos... with.... You guessed it... brisket. I swear... it is incredible. 3 bottles later...I can't wait to return!! Love the vibe...

Great food and ambiance set the perfect scene for a memorable date night. The service was fast, and friendly, giving a smooth and enjoyable experience from start to finish.

Ordered the hatch Chile burger deconstructed. It was too dark to take a photo, but the taste was absolutely delicious! Quick, friendly service. Chill music spans upbeat new age and 80's folk like Tom Petty. Right off the main road. Small parking up front- larger lot in the back.

This place is a dumpster fire. Was so much better as "Hammered Hog". Food is mid at best. Drinks are imbalanced and overpriced. Service is hit and (HARD) miss. Especially if the owner is walking around commiserating about "how hard it is to hire and keep people". Gee, I wonder if it's your culture? The staff acts put out when you ask for ANYTHING. Don't dare bring a growler to this "Craft Beer Spot"; they'll look at you like you have 3 heads.

I'm really torn with what to rate this place. Ambience was 11/10- super cool interior, beautiful vining plants covering the entrance area, and a really cool looking rooftop area that you request to eat in. The servers were also really friendly. However, the food and service itself was sadly underwhelming, especially for the price, the wait was over 40 minutes (even though there was a table available for the size of our party the entire time, they just hadn't set it), and after we ordered it took like **an hour** to get our food. We ordered chips & guac- these were good! Chips were greasy but nice and crispy and salty. I got the BBQ plate and honestly it looked like something I'd make at home. The meat, fries, coleslaw, and BBQ sauce all being in separate ramekins really made the meal feel disconnected & reminded me of when I have a mix of leftovers at home. I got the vinegar BBQ sauce since it was recommended with the pork, but it tasted just like a small bowl of red wine vinegar. The vinegar coleslaw was about the same. Meat tasted smoky so that was nice, but it wasn't anything special. The fries were not good, hard without being crispy and didn't taste fresh. I almost forgot the worst part!! My brother in law ordered an old fashioned that never came, and when he brought up nicely that he ordered one but hadn't recieved it yet the wisitress fervently declared that he never ordered one and may have entertained the idea- but surely she never got an order. This was after my sister in law ordered beans and rice for her baby and only received beans (she was also told that she never ordered any rice). They also never refilled our waters, and we were there for quite a while since it took our food an hour to come out. Also got charged extra for 2oz of alternative BBQ sauce. I did enjoy the smoky old fashioned ordered, but again nothing special. The place itself really is what you're paying for. Ambience- 11/10 Food- 5/10 Service- 4/10 Overall, a very it's a Monet- looks great from a distance, but up close it's a mess.

This place was pretty, preeeeeety cool. I went with the New Mexico stuff since it's sold as, like, the specialty. It was quite good, very homemade tasting. The adovada actually tasted like my own red chile but with smoked pork. So, needless to say, a winner. The green chile was also better than average but I thought it was a bit too heavy on the cumin and not heavy enough on the green chile mass. Also got a super green salad with the cilantro vinaigrette which was outstanding. Like, I'd drink that dressing straight. I'm def coming back to try the bbq and the fantastic looking patio, which was closed when I went during the summer. Oh, and the beer selection alone puts this place over the top, though I'm a sucker for that...

I was in town for work and I met up with my sister for dinner. Walking in with the sun down actual chill vibes! It's dark with candles lit up everywhere it was great. Our server was fantastic as he really helped guide us with each phase of our meal. I was looking for a low calorie drink and he suggested the spicy jalapeño margarita. It was top notch! Appetizer we got the green chile Mac and cheese and that absolutely slapped. We also shared the meatloaf! So unique with a green chili gravy, mash potatoes,and mushrooms such a unique combo that I would definitely get again. This place was amazing!

Wow! What a gem of a restaurant. It's not in the best area of town but the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. We went there last Sunday for lunch and what a vibe! The inside decor is beautifully decorated and it gives a "speakeasy" type of vibe. Our server was excellent. He was very helpful and attentive without being too much. We started with the bacon wrapped jalapeños and they were excellent. I had the green chili chicken tacos and my husband and son both had the carne adovada. The portions for this entree were huge. Enough for leftovers. Highly recommend. We would love to come back on a weekend night and checkout the rooftop bar.

Went tonight sat on rooftop patio. The drink service was so slow because they had one, very nice, waiter upstairs taking drink orders and he had to walk up and down the stairs. Good ambience upstairs, but frustrating service. Food was good, all in all, a unique place but always understaffed and seems lacking in authenticity.

My new go-to spot for green chile! This gem offers seating both indoor and outdoor on a rooftop patio! The inside is very dark and much more of an intimate ambiance. Since the weather was nice we opted to sit on the patio. Service was friendly and attentive, i really appreciated that our server (D. Conn ;) ) continued to check on us and fill up our waters even after we finished eating. I went for the street tacos with green chile chicken as my meat choice and they were full of flavor and the perfect amount of spice. I ordered mine lovecraft style-- meaning they were topped with guac and creamy slaw. My friend ordered the green chile stew and added a fried egg on top. The stew was served with fresh tortillas on the side. Both dishes were the perfect amount of food for lunch. Definitely will be back for dinner service!

The food was awesome! The hatch green chile quesadilla was very flavorful and delicious, and a HUGE serving! My wife got the hatch green chile meatloaf that had mashed potatoes and I even had a bite of it. I would say it was pretty tasty. I'm not a big meatloaf person, but definitely a very unique flavorful item! The service was awesome too, our server Luke was great and friendly with awesome recommendations! Also, we got a special surprise close to closing! We saw them put the meat on the smoker probably to let it cook all night! I would say the ambience is pretty unique too, not really sure how to even describe it so I guess you'll have to see for yourself!

Have been to Lovecraft several times and the food is always good. Service is great! It's fun to sit on the outside patio on the 2nd floor. A bit noisy during rush hour traffic on Cactus, but later it's great!

You just can't go wrong with Lovecraft! Been here enough times to write a solid review. Everything is great! The end. My first tip for Lovecraft is to bring kneepads and steel-toe shoes. I usually navigate the interior by bumping my knees around the furniture since it's so dark inside. Okay, it's not THAT dark, but it's very dim inside. Once you're able to make your way to your table with the help of your guide, I mean host, it's time to pull your phone's flashlight out to check out the menu! The service at Lovecraft is great. I usually do take-away, however, the staff I interact with are always very pleasant. Something nice about Lovecraft is the menu isn't too big, but they do have a lot of options. My favorite is the Meatloaf. Warning tho, it can be pretty spicy sometimes! But the food is New Mexican, so be comfortable with spice if you're choosing to dine here. Out of everything I've tried, I have yet to find something that I didn't like. Check out Lovecraft if you're thinking about it!

It's been a hot minute since we came to Love Craft.. but that's because if I eat here once I must eat here 3 more times and well that's not great for my waistline. Order a sassy berry mocktail it was scrumptious! We started with the guac and queso. The queso always hits it out of the park for me. I wanted to get the prime rib quesadilla but ended up with my go to of the brisket chimi with the queso on the side. Everything was great and the service was wonderful.

The BBQis great but the dessert is why I came the first time. My husband picked up an entire cheesecake from them for my birthday last week. You've NEVER had Anything like this!! Ginger snap crust with rosemary infused goat cheesecake topped with lavender honey. The melding of those flavors take you to another place!! It's unique and memorable!

Attempted to finally try this place since the pictures of the food always look so good on Yelp. However, my partner and I arrived and stood at the door while numerous workers walked past us, back and forth with absolutely no acknowledgment. We've both worked in restaurants and know how important it is to at least say, "someone will be right with you." They're also taking names on a clipboard w paper and it seems the worker handling it was just as confused himself and didn't bother to speak to us, just went along looking for someone else to seat from his list, couldn't even ask our names. Finally after another couple arrives, we hope the increased action at the door will get someone's attention. It does but he completely skips over us and asks for their information. After doing so he then looks to us, and we decide to leave because that set the tone for how the rest of the evening would go if we chose to stay. Safe to say the customer service is horrible the minute you walk through the doors. Sad.

Just tried this place for the first time and it was SO YUMMY! This was highly recommended by our friends. Our waiter Dave was very kind and attentive. We sat on the rooftop which was such a nice ambiance especially with the weather being better. I loved my chimichangas and portions were excellent. I'm absolutely coming back and making this a go to spot!!

We thought it was interesting that Arizona had New Mexican cuisine, being that we're from New Mexico we decided to give it a shot. The patio had a really nice ambiance, the drinks were good, and the Mac and cheese with brisket was really really good. It was excellent in fact. The rest of the food wasn't so great and honestly none of it tasted like authentic New Mexican cuisine. Where were the hatch chilies? The service was friendly but sometimes took a while to attend us. I would come back here again for the drinks and Mac and cheese without the expectation that it's New Mexican food.

This was our first visit to Lovecraft, and I was so impressed! The atmosphere is super chill but still feels special -- the kind of place you instantly feel comfortable in. The staff and management were awesome -- super friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The food was next-level! We tried the bacon-wrapped jalapeños (a must!), Maaaaa's Meatloaf (so flavorful and comforting), and finished with their cheesecake, which was the perfect ending. Everything was fresh, delicious, and perfectly cooked. You can tell the whole team here really cares about what they do. Between the amazing food, great service, and fun vibe, this is definitely a new favorite. Can't wait to come back!

Went in for cocktails and an app and it came to $80 which seems high. App was good and cocktails flowed well. Service was a little slow on the roof but I do think they had issues with their internet to be fair. Roof top patio was cool great views and setting. Overall underwhelming

Lovecraft's décor and ambiance are cool, yet romantic vibe with vintage touches, a speakeasy feel, and a dog-friendly rooftop patio. It strikes a balance between casual neighborhood hangout and elevated craft-bar destination. Now for the food- If I were to sum it up: Lovecraft is simply great in food and drink, especially if you're in the mood for something beyond the usual skip-into-one-of-many bars.

What we got : Drinks: Blueberry tequila mahito Odins revenge Entrees: We both got street tacos Guacamole with chips Mine are smoked pork with traditional way My friend got smoked brisket with the lovecraft version Really pretty location decoration is on point here ! First beer I tried to order was told awhile later that they were out so had to switch and my ipa was alright I had to get instead The guacamole super yummy flavorful ! And these side salsas they gave one was like a purée red salsa and it was good! Me and my friend just acted like it was salsa and dipped our chipped in it haha my tacos were good bit dry and no complaints in the rice or beans simple and good , They do charge you for sour cream if you like that but for $2 bucks crazzzzzzy never been charged before for sour cream at other restaurants

My wife and I were vacationing in Phoenix for the first time and this was one of the higher rated places that was near our resort. It was a great find! The food was very good and we took advantage of the happy-hour menu which was a pretty good deal. The interior has sort of a 'goth' vibe that I like, but might not be for everyone. We sat at the bar and the staff attentive and made good recommendations. The nachos that others mention were very good. The cocktails are good too.

This was my first time going there. I had to sit at the bar, as the place was packed. A good sign, I THOUGHT. The friendly professional Staff seated me and took my order right away. So far so good. As they were out of the prime rib steak, (...oh well) I just got the Brisket Enchiladas. Here's where I went sideways. It took WELL over half an hour to get my food and I just have to ask you the Reader, HOW DO YOU SCREW UP ENCHILADAS? Well, here's how. Everything on the plate, the beans, rice, as well as the enchiladas, weren't cold-cold but were BARELY above room temperature. The only thing hot was the brisket meat INSIDE the enchiladas. Serving size seems small for the price as well. I told my waiter, when he asked how the food was. He told me "Sorry that happened" and although he seemed genuine in his concern, he moved right on and still didn't offer to fix it AND charged me full price. Sad first impression for certain. I was hungry so I ate about a quarter of it and boxed the rest to heat up at home. I thought it will probably will taste pretty good hot.....after I actually HEAT IT UP tomorrow....and IT WAS. (I'll attach a couple of photo of what I brought home.) So in a nutshell, I spent over $42 for a sad, cold, small plate of two Enchiladas, as well as a couple tablespoons of beans and rice AND ONE (1) VERY GOOD 16 oz glass of beer. Future Patrons BEWARE!!!

What a great place. The inside is very nice and great decor/vibe. Nachos were awesome. Would love to check out the rooftop patio. Everything felt pretty fairly priced too.

From the moment you walk in you're hit with the essence of this spot's dark, gothic, intimate atmosphere. The Summertime Sadness cocktail is a good choice for those who enjoy strawberry lemonade - the taste was similar to that. I love how there's an entire plant-based menu with options for vegans/vegetarians. I got the plant based chimichangas with smoky mushrooms. The food portion was an ample amount, and I appreciate that everything was freshly made. For dessert, I had the coconut key lime pie. I didn't care too much for this dessert, the key lime filling was throwing me off in the texture and flavor. But otherwise, I had a great time here and can't wait to come back when the rooftop area opens up again.

True to its namesake it is a bit spooky which I love. Feels like you've entered a bar at the turn of the century. Great service, Anna was knowledgeable and nice. Enjoyed my Green Chile Queso and Cream Ale. The Smoked Prime Rib Wedge salad was okay, I felt I mainly got the fat from the prime rib. Lovely inside, and upstairs patio on a beautiful day is also enjoyable, but make sure you make a reservation for the patio because that was popular on a Saturday! And they have their own parking lot.

We stopped for dinner not knowing anything about this place, other than its high Yelp rating, and we're so glad we did! It was a busy Friday evening, so we grabbed seats at the bar, best choice ever! Lisa, the bartender, was amazing, and so was the rest of the crew. We enjoyed the greatest prickly pear margarita and an Orange Cream beer, and our dinner was simply outstanding! We highly recommend this spot!

We stumbled into this odd little place and wow we loved it! Walking in its DARK! And we honestly didn't know what to expect. We sat at the bar and we had a great experience. They have a huge beer list and many speciality cocktails. Both margaritas we had were awesome and it's obvious they use quality alcohol. We also got the hatch green chili burger and the brisket tacos. Both were good but I was hoping for more spice with the green chilis as they warned it was going to be hot. I can't wait to come back and visit again when on this side of town.

Good food, dark inside so good for date nights. The first time we went we didnt know what to expect and brought our 3 year old. Although I believe they accommodate kids, I do not recommend bringing them. The rooftop dining is lovely but unfortunately it faces a very busy street so its pretty noisy.

Saturday night I checked the online Waitlist around 8:30pm and no wait, so I drove to Lovecraft and got there just before 9pm. They close at 10pm according to Yelp. Walked in the door, saw the sign "please wait to be seated", and so I waited...for exactly 5 minutes. No one approached me, no host that I could tell, and so I turned around and walked out. The place was busy and servers were hopping, but someone needs to pay attention to the entrance. The wall placed just inside the entrance door, with the please wait to be seated sign, might be a deterrent to staff monitoring the entrance. Menu looked enticing.

This is a great little bar with AMAZING food. Met a friend here. Very dark. Lots of wood and curtains. Service CE was spot on. I had the Sheppard pie and it was phenomenal. Totally get it! I hope to be back.
