Admittedly, I did not eat here. I did come for two nights during the Phx Fringe and loved every minute of it. This is like a hybrid dive bar and artsy hangout, being from Detroit, I felt right at home.
The eclecticness of the crowd matches the atmosphere, I mean, it's called the Paisley Violin, it's going to have some pretension. The best part about this place is the rear patio, which is like a step into another world, old brick patio with art all around you. We were made comfortable by a very appreciative staff and drank for pretty cheap, Schlitz was only $2.
The P.V. seems to be an attempt to give all the artists on Grand a place to go, we took the light rail here and rode our bikes.
