AZ 88 is somewhat of an Old Town Scottsdale institution, since it's been making foodies and barflies happy for more than 20 years in the Civic Center Mall. The striking spot, with glass walls facing the exterior and patio, has an endlessly breezy vibe because of the open feel of the decor.
The ambiance may lure you in, but the tasty American food and handcrafted cocktails will keep you coming back. I always love whatever food I get there, and my last visit to AZ 88 for my pal Peter's birthday was no different.
I ordered a Grilled Cheese sandwich ($9), which came with waffle fries and fruit and was mighty tasty. I love that the yummy food in such a chic atmosphere is so affordable.
And the libations at AZ 88 will keep you so happy, too. Definitely try their sangria-it's solid, and I'm a huge sangria fan-and if mojitos are your thing, you won't go wrong here.
You'll also love AZ 88 for the bustling and friendly atmosphere. I've never had a bad time here and would recommend it to anyone!
