| - My boyfriend and I went to District before a concert at the US Airways Center. Perfect location for a downtown event, plus they will validate your valet parking. We went in time for their happy hour (which ends a 7pm) and sat at one of the bar tables. Very cool ambiance. We had a great server who made helpful suggestions and guided us through the array of menu options. I tried their red wine sangria ($5) - it was a beautiful magenta color and was one of the better sangrias I'd had in a long time. I also had their Pineapple Lavender cocktail (not on happy hour - $10) which is very tart and lemon-y. Not for everyone, but I loved it! They hand-make their drinks with fresh fruit (so they take a little while) and use fresh herbs grown on their rooftop garden.
My boyfriend picked the food and we indulged! All the appetizers were $4 (except for the nachos which were $5). The pretzel bite fondue included three pretzels definitely larger than a bite, maybe 3 or 4 bite-size. The cheese was warm and melty. Good dish.
We also had the macaroni & cheese w/ Schreiner's beer hots. I think this one was our least favorite of all the dishes we ordered. Not that it was bad, it just didn't stand out. A take on mac & cheese with cut up hotdog.
The nachos were topped with all the good stuff you'd expect to find on nachos: gooey cheese, pico de gallo, guac, sour cream, and steak. The chips were a little thicker, so they didn't break and get soggy.
Finally, we had the buffalo sloppy joe sliders. Great flavor, would definitely get these again.
I'm not in downtown Phoenix very often, but District will definitely be at the top of my list next time I attend an event in the area.
