| - Word on the street is that the Pink Pony is sporting a new saddle... And by that, it's been remodeled/revamped!
Embarrassingly enough, I have to admit that I have never been to this establishment in all my time living in Scottsdale. The pink pony is an iconic restaurant and a huge part of Scottsdale history, so it was worth a little visit.
I went after a two-day long staff retreat... And as you can guess, my rubber arm wasn't hard to twist as we were all in need of a drink, or two... maybe three. Who's counting?
It's the beginning of July here in Phoenix, and no one in their right mind sits outside in the late afternoon this time of year, so we bypassed the cool looking patio/Arizona room-esqe entry and headed indoors.
Inside we were greeted with a monochrome, sleek and modern decor with lots of booths and highboys to gather around. The place was pretty quiet but picked up after a bit. The demographic: tad on the older side, but whatevs.
Ordered a drink called "the forbidden fruit", at the recommendation of the bartender. Now I know what its deemed forbidden... No one should ever taste what I did! Unless you're a fan of taking an ENTIRE pack of sweet tarts, shoving it in your mouth, and chewing them up, do not try this drink. I decided to be boring, but safe and order some sav blanc, and it was the most mind blowing glass of wine I'd had all day ;)
We went to town on apps; pretzels and beer cheese, hummus, sliders (they were to die for), blue Cheese fritters and chili cheese fries. A perfect combination of gut rot and awesomeness!
Not a bad little place to head for a quick bite and some drinks... I'd go back.
