A little piece of Scottsdale hotel bar minus the attitude....Review of drinks only....
I find this to be one of the better bars in Central Phoenix. Trendy space. Cool red lighting. Great, friendly service. Good drinks. Not much to complain about here. They actually have a modest yet cool drink list, but not much to offer regarding gin. Sorry, gin lovers...lol. Drinks are generous. Bonnie could probably fit her face in a martini glass.
A friend who works in north Phoenix routinely recommends his discerning colleagues stay at the Clarendon. Distance is not an issue, apparently. Not familiar with the hotel rooms ...although I've looked at the model rooms and they look WAY Gen-X chic.
I've been here on other occasions - last time was more of a gay crowd, (Thursdays are ad agency industry night) but other times - NOT at all. That's part of the egalitarian Central Phoenix culture. Not much of a surprise if you frequent places in the neighborhood.
Cute patio for smoking. Good to note, post May 1,2007.
