About

The Ostrich is a craft cocktail bar in the original basement of the historic San Marcos Hotel.

Story

Located directly below Crust Chandler, the Ostrich is a neighborhood craft cocktail lounge inspired by the rich history dating back to the city’s founding days of 1912. After nearly a year of renovations and excavations, the Ostrich is ready to enjoy!

This space was once a watering hole for the nation’s traveling and sometimes nefarious elite and has been remodeled and rescued. This re-imagined drinking destination is housed in the forgotten basement tunnels running to the Crowne Plaza San Marcos golf course clubhouse and the old railroad station. This same basement was also an ostrich feather storage facility after World War I. Dr. AJ Chandler had high hoping that the ostrich feather would take off as a fashion accessory, primarily in the flapper dress industry. Sadly, those hopes fell short.

Classic drinks, historical furniture and timeless service aim to establish the east valley as a craft cocktail destination. Handcrafted ice, cocktails, food and hospitality is the name of the game at The Ostrich. Meant to inspire our guests to understand and appreciate the past and apply its wisdom to everyday situations while paying homage to Dr. AJ Chandler, we decided to name our basement lounge, the Ostrich. Without Dr. Chandler’s crazy idea to build a resort, let alone a basement in Arizona, we wouldn’t be able to offer delicious cocktails in this historic setting.

Cocktails are serious business, so the Ostrich is home to a star studded staff, led by nationally celebrated mixologist, Brandon Casey and supported by Maxton Kennedy, an extremely talented second in command and a new valley transplant all the way from New Orleans.

The Ostrich is open Tuesday-Saturday at 6 p.m. at 10 N San Marcos Place, Chandler, AZ 85225. There are no signs on the door, you’ll just have to find your way and meet us in the basement.

Walk thru time!!

This place was terrible. We were so disappointed. We went in wanting a good cocktail and we did not find it. We ordered pizza and only received half the pizza and it was cold. We were 3 people and only received half. The server told us that we could order the other half at any time. It was odd since we could had received only one slice per person. Seemed to have many servers, but we felt ignored. The cocktails are all over $10 and we're not enjoyable or balance. We are disappointed we went as we had heard great comments.

This place used to be my favorite bar in all of Phoenix. It even gave other bars something to aspire to, but in a recent turn of events the place completely changed. The people who were the heart and soul of this establishment, who made this place great and unique are no longer there. Blame ignorant ownership and management. A bar is just 4 walls, a counter and some ingredients. Without people who can put it all together it's basically worthless. The people make the bar, the bar doesn't make the people.

They had a talented bartender, but they fired him. No reason was given to him. I get needs change and people move on, but saying you fired him on Twitter is petty. Talented people are hard to find, I hope Brandon Casey brings in a new crowd in Tempe at the Woodshed. With the change of employees, I cannot recommend this place.

This place is cool. Reminds me of some of those trendy basement places around Portland. If you like that kind of low light, rustic brick basement, mule serving kind of place. Whoever found this space and turned it into the Ostrich is a genius.

I have come here a handful of times and have enjoyed some amazing drinks in the past. But, I recently saw the fiasco where the ostrich decided to fire their mixologist/bartender publicly. Since then, I have decided that I will never come back. I will not support a business that treats any kind of employee in that manner. What a shame.
