Best Phoenix Bars for Cocktails, Beer, and Wine - Eater Phoenix

"Owners Jeff and Jen Herbert like to say they’re “reintroducing the world’s oldest fermented beverage to mankind” — not an idle boast, given that in the past 10 years, they’ve created over 300 unique meads and hard ciders in a wide range of flavor profiles. The interior’s wood floors, high, industrial-style ceilings and upholstered aqua bar stools signal that this may be a brewery (honey-imbued mead is beer’s kissing cousin, after all), but it’s a classy one. The mead selection is big enough to require categorization (meads made with apples, meads made with herbs and spices, meads made with wine grapes), and the food menu is just as vast. If you’re road-tripping, check out the meadery’s original location in Prescott." - Nikki Buchanan, Chris Malloy
