| - This has to be my favorite guilty pleasure on Thursday nights. For a while there I was addicted - even memorizing some of Dennis Rowland's jazz covers!
Luckily, I got a life, and hadn't been in a while. But I found myself here last week showing off this place to an out-of-town visitor, and was sorry I had even left.
Kazimierz is a quintessential Phoenix experience, not because it's typical Phoenix -- but because it shows how magical a great space, a great wine list (1800 bottles deep), an entertaining performer, and an interesting mix of guests can do for a bar.
Regarding the rest:
* Everyone else accurately describes the set-up.
* I've never had the food here as I'm always here post-dinner.
* The service here is always professional and above par.
* And the jazz entertainment on Thursdays ($5 cover) is always a crowd pleaser.
Speaking of the crowd it ranges the gamut in age, ethnicity and types -- from guys/girls night out (on their way to Suede), couples canoodling on a dinner date, to older couples there for the music.
My only complaint as another reviewer points out is the tacky wine menu - in a three ring binder?!? It's quite the disconnect. Why not go one step further and put the wine selection in a.... Trapper Keeper. Klassy!
If you get a chance check this bar out in July for the Christmas tree and candy canes. Ho ho ho, winos!
