| - Did your Grandma ever tell you...never judge a book by its cover? Listen to her. Before walking in the door, I did the Primebar drive-by enough to form an opinion. It looked like it was just another swanky Scottsdale restaurant like every other average Joe in the Valley. But when I got the opportunity to check out their Grand Opening, I took Grandma's advice and figured I'd better walk inside before vocalizing my slew of opinions.
Thank you Grandma is all I have to say! The bar is huge and nothing like its exterior vibe. I counted three bars, several lounge areas with comfortable seating, tons of huge flat screen TVs for game time and even a stage ready for a live band to rock out. The bar's Grand Opening featured just about everything they have to offer on the cocktail front and a variety of tasty treats (like quesadillas and sliders) in the cuisine category.
Cocktails: I sipped on a Fire and Ice drink laced with a jalapeƱo. The spicy Mexican garnish made me a little hesitant at first, but all it took was one sip for it to prove its worth. I also tried the Berry Mojito filled with fresh fruit and mint. I'll take another please.
Food: The quesadillas have a kick to them that leaves you begging for more. The sliders were very tasty but a little on the dry side... still good though nonetheless and I assume it had something to do with the massive crowd and quantity of food. For a sweet treat, they let us sample the chocolaty goodness that's a mixture of brownie and cake. You can't eat just one so I guess I need to make my way back there sooner rather than later.
After looking at the full menu, I plan on visiting again soon to try out their variety of tacos, kurobuta pork chops and other entrees. Is your mouth watering yet? Mine is. All in all, Primebar has a great setup for a couple cocktails, a full dinner, game watching or for a night on the town.
