The Best Bars in Phoenix, Arizona | Eater Phoenix

"Adhering to Prohibition-era tradition, this plush Scottsdale speakeasy (enter through Crust Pizzeria or a utility door at the back) is named for an animal like Michael Merendino’s other cocktail bars, the Ostrich and the Blue Heron in the East Valley. Cocktail options here include gorgeously rendered, time-specific classics such as James Bond’s Vesper, the Martinez of 1870’s New York, and the feminine, hard-to-find Clover Club. Even alongside the classics, the modern signatures are no less mesmerizing. The luxurious Down Comforter, which combines Smoke Wagon bourbon with bitter, herbal Amaro Lucano Anniversario, pistachio orgeat, and Australian coffee bitters is a must-order." - Nikki Buchanan
