This review is for 06/11/2011. Don't worry, I will write my review for Black Chile Mexican Grill later. I only have a couple hours left in Phoenix and I had to make the most of it. It was the best final decision for the night and stay. I was staying over in Phoenix most of the time and I didn't realize Scottsdale was next door. Well, ON FORWARD to COACH HOUSE!!
I arrived around 7:30pm. From the outside, it looked like a horse stable. The parking lot is unpaved and seems like something from Roadhouse than it did Coach House. There two bouncers at the entrance and they will swipe your ID for verification. I have no idea what the drinking laws are for Phoenix, AZ. It was a bit quiet here, but it would pick up in an hour.
I met an Asian bartender named Aaron. The first Asian I have seen in Phoenix in a long time. He was a cool guy. I asked him about their drink special and he said, "Cranberry Vodka". My favorite drink. Coach House was not cheap about their drinks. When they pour their drinks, they give you the best for your buck. Cranberry Vodka was only $4.50. I had a few...lol.
I met a few new friends here and we talked. It was wonderful to be at a local hangout. I feel I belong here. There were TVs here, but I only watched for a few minutes before someone was chatting with me. On a hot day, the water mist is on and it feels much cooler to be there. This was an amazing place to be on my last evening with a few hours left.
I am thinking about moving out here. Stress of Los Angeles can shorten your life and Phoenix can give you a fresh mind....Well...unless the Coach House gets to you. :) Now knowing a classmate lives around here, I'll make sure to come back in this direction again.
