| - A hotel bar that I'd visit even if it wasn't in my hotel? That's a guaranteed 4 stars.
I loved the decor, though I'm a sucker for dark woods, low furniture and Edison bulbs. It's all vaguely old-school yet modern. If I had a lot of money, I would design my rec room to look just like this, and throw pretty stellar parties.
The drink list was solid, and a lot of care and preparation goes into their specialty cocktails. I can't recall what I had, but if you're anything like me and your three favorite words are "Scotch, Rye and Whiskey," then you're sure to find something here on which to imbibe. The beer list wasn't much to talk about, but did I mention the Scotch, rye and whiskey?
I was waited on by three different bartenders during my stay, and while one I clicked with more than the others, all three were friendly, knowledgeable and professional.
Why no 5 stars? While I enjoyed the place, it didn't totally blow my mind, and I feel like I've been a little too loosey-goosey with my 5 stars lately. Though don't be fooled, I certainly enjoy this place and if I ever get to stay at the Saguaro again, you'll find me bellied up to the bar at Old Town Whiskey.
