PHOENIX — McKenzie's Midtown Tavern has big plans for its popular Phoenix location. Here’s what Ryan McKenzie, owner, shared with ABC15.“After five and a half years, we had a little pause there during COVID, we got the zoning approval… now we're moving forward with making the backyard even more fun than the inside,” said McKenzie.

“So, we are going to be using shipping containers to build an outdoor bar out of as well as extend our kitchen with storage,” explained McKenzie. “And a lot of landscaping, the landscaping is pretty extreme, but … we want it to look nice.”According to the owner, the Zoning got approved in October and the plans to submit the final project is in November.

If all goes smoothly, January 2024 is the timeline to break ground and by mid-next year this project could be open to the public, McKenzie shared with ABC15.Never been? “We’re a bar restaurant, we focus on great food, we call it ‘gourmet bar food,’ clean atmosphere, really fun. We have wonderful staff, everyone's super, super inviting… and just a great place for the neighborhood, the central Phoenix community.
