Discover Nostalgia and Innovation at Hanny’s in Downtown Phoenix
If you’re looking for a unique blend of nostalgia and modernity, look no further than Hanny’s in downtown Phoenix. What was once a department store in 1947 is now a renowned restaurant and bar that offers a creative and inviting experience.
The owners have preserved much of the vintage charm of the original store. As you enjoy your meal and drinks, you’ll be surrounded by original entrance signs, brand advertisements, logos, and even a mural on the back of the building.
But Hanny’s isn’t just about honoring its retro roots—it also embraces contemporary art and technology. The highlight of the venue is a newly added four-story, 10,000-lumen projection kaleidoscope housed within the renovated freight elevator shaft. This unique installation features triple-chambered mirrored architecture, making it one of the largest of its kind. Visitors are invited to step onto the suspended glass floor and immerse themselves in this mesmerizing experience.
For those with a taste for the quirky, Hanny’s boasts a growing collection of (some might say “creepy”) dolls that have become a popular draw for visitors and Instagram enthusiasts. Rumor has it that some of these dolls even dispense coins and tokens, making them not only fascinating but potentially lucrative.
Even the restrooms at Hanny’s have become a must-see attraction. Converted from the store’s original fitting rooms, the unique mirrored bathrooms are now a hotspot for Instagram-worthy photos.
When the holiday season rolls around, Hanny’s doesn’t disappoint with its festive décor, including a creatively adorned tree. To keep up with all the seasonal transformations and unique offerings, be sure to follow Hanny’s on Instagram @hannysbar.
Experience the magic of Hanny’s for yourself and step into a world where the past meets the present in a harmonious blend of nostalgia and innovation.
