The Best Bars in Phoenix, Arizona | Eater Phoenix

"Set on Roosevelt Street and named for Teddy Roosevelt, who led the Rough Riders in the Spanish-American War, this snug, subterranean cocktail bar specializes in vintage cocktails described on a menu with a 19th century look. No one else in town honors the old school with such panache. The menu features traditional tea punches, cobbler-style cocktails crafted with house-made jams, modern riffs on cocktail recipes that date back to the 1800s, and a rotating clarified cocktail worth exploring. Naturally, there are modern classics too, including the Summer of George, a heady concoction of Four Roses small batch bourbon, Giffard banana, pineapple, lime, and cinnamon demerara — surely meant to induce the laidback summer vibe as George Costanza portrayed it on Seinfeld." - Nikki Buchanan
