| - "The truth is inside" states the wooden plaque mounted above the unassuming entrance to Kaz Bar. My first time walking in here felt like going to a speakeasy, and I was to be the newly appointed member to its secret society. From Stetson one could easily pass it and not know it was there. "Like all good speakeasys, the entrance is hidden in the rear"
I have been coming here for 7 years. Many first dates, even my mother has shared a spot at the bar with me.
When passing into the realm of truth, one immediately forgets Phoenix and the sunshine. One is transported to a darker and sultrier place.
It smells of flatbreads and wine. One may feel teleported to a gothic 17th century wine cellar in Eastern Europe.
Lazy, high backed couches fill the room, large rustic tables accomodate larger groups in an adjoining partition. Wine barrels, wood, and stone line its walls. A fireplace and candle light brings the right amount of ambiance and mysticism.
Picking up their wine list is like opening a Reader's Digest. Wine by the bottle or wine by the glass, this place has over 3000 selections from all over the globe. They offer Iiventive wine flights ranging from Cherry Blossom Chinese to Sparkling Red Shiraz.. Rare wines, fine wines, even Transylvanian wines are found here (fangs included). You can sample anything here, you can make special requests.
The list of spirits is extensive as well. From Eastern European cocktails, to Grappa, to potato vodka, to Belgian beer, all is represented here to provide its visitors the ultimate bacchinalia.
The bartenders are very knowledgeable, so a seat at the bar is worth coming here if you are new to imbibing wine and spirits. Best time to show is after they open at 6p, or on Tuesday nights.
Why, you say? This little speakeasy also happens to have a lively music scene. Sundays, Mondays, and Thursdays there is live music. Be hypnotised and seduced by Flamenco on Sundays, and be wooed and wowed by local jazz legend,Margot Reed, on Mondays.
if wine and jazz are not satisfying enough, the noshes served here until 2a will make you feel complete. Cheese fondue, cheese and bread plates, antipasto, polish sausages, and mouth watering egyptian flatbreads are the perfect complement to your wine. I have a deep and burning passion for the flavor combinations on this particular kind of flatbread served here: Baja chipotle-orange rock shrimp, buffalo mozzarella, pepitas, smoked gouda, cilantro.....brilliant!
If you want to seduce your date by way of chocolate, I recommend the Bittersweet Chocolate OR Fleur De Sel Caramel Fondue, which comes with housemade marshmallows, passion fruit cream puffs, pound cake, coconut macaroons, and fruits. Pure decadence. Pure bacchinalia. I mean, I think this is the way that the god of wine would have wanted it....
