Innovative American comfort food & cocktails with showstopper desserts

























"Zuzu at the vibrant, retro Hotel Valley Ho serves a great American brunch or dinner — but customers should seriously consider ordering dessert first to fully appreciate the now legendary, over-the-top Show Stopper Shake. The theme (and flavors) changes every month. Recent choices include the Cup o’ Joe pumpkin spice milkshake topped with a chocolate mousse filled chocolate coffee cup, and the Let’s Go Party Barbie-themed milkshake with sprinkles and edible glitter." - Jamie Killin

"A restaurant owned by the same family that runs nearby music and entertainment venues; it occupies a building that the owners have proposed replacing with a six-story hotel incorporating performance stages, retail spaces, and a new restaurant/bar, creating uncertainty about the restaurant's future location." - Adam H. Callaghan

"Hotel Happy Hour ZuZu at Hotel Valley Ho is a sweeping glass-lined space with a fun retro vibe. Cocktails like The Haboob – a tongue-in-cheek Arizona take on the Dark ‘N’ Stormy – are handcrafted and creative. ZuZu’s happy hour, called Cool Redux, is one of the best in town with $5 signature drinks and wine plus $4 beer. It takes place weekdays from 4 to 7 p.m."
