| - This is a review of their bar restaurant, not the hotel itself.
I attend some professional society meetings at this location and the bar always ends up as a good meeting place before and after the meeting. Of course...
The bar at the Radisson Hotel Airport is not huge, but it is a pretty comfy place to hang out. There are a number of tables, the bar, and a workstation bar with a ton of outlets. They have a fireplace, which is wonderful in the winter (but then again, winters in Phoenix are never all that cold anyway...). They have two small TVs so it's not the ideal place to watch a big game, but if you're staying here, well then...you don't have much choice.
The rbg Bar and Grill offers a pretty simple menu - bar food, wine, beer, and liquor. On my last visit, I settled in for their sausage and tomato flatbread with a pint of Kilt Lifter (of course!).
The flatbread was pretty good, but not amazing. There were nice, hearty chunks of savory sausage, but the tomato and cheese was fairly light. What saves this dish is the fresh basil, which gives it a bright, refreshing flavor. If I ordered it again, I would ask for extra basil, and extra cheese. Then I would be extra happy.
The service is very efficient and friendly.
The price is also pretty reasonable. As a traveling business person who spends quite a bit of time in hotel bars I can say that the rbg Bar and Grill is a solid place to hang out and relax after a long day....
