The Top 100 Phoenix Bars of 2024

Pecado

Pecado
Sara Crocker
In Arcadia, tucked behind the bright, airy Santo lies the dark, sleek, sultry Pecado. The juxtaposition is intentional, with the two names translating to saint and sin in Spanish. The dual concepts were opened by Roberto Centeno, Nadia Holguin and Armando Hernandez in early 2024, with the drinks program led by beverage director Adrian Galindo. Much like his cocktail program at the vibey Mesa bar and restaurant Espiritu, the menu at Pecado is full of tongue-in-cheek jokes and pop culture references. But, the seven deadly sins are the primary inspiration for the menu. Pride is a showy tiki-style sipper with mezcal and rum that will make everyone at the bar stop and take notice. There’s also Gluttony, a fat-washed bacanora drink served with a side of pork rinds. But we like to roll the dice with Wrath – a choose-your-own-adventure option where you tell your mixologist your likes and let their creativity run wild.
