The Pemberton, a popular outdoor food hall and entertainment venue in downtown Phoenix that closed last March, has reopened with a new look.
The original concept, which opened in 2021, featured rotating food trucks, funky art displays and retail shops, and a dance floor on the grounds of the historic Sarah H. Pemberton house near the northeast corner of Portland and Second streets.
Like the original concept, the new version incorporates vintage trailers, some used as kitchens and bars, and plenty of local art.
But the new concept offers themed zones such as an Italian beach club, Tokyo alley, Icelandic campground, and Palm Springs resort-style club. Each zone has its own food truck-style menu, cocktails, and music to match its theme.
Instead of lining up at food trailers and then looking for a seat, as before, guests are able to choose a zone and open a tab with server.
Days and hours vary. Check The Pemberton’s Instagram for the latest schedule.
