text: So my friend and I decided we were going to do the First Friday artwalk downtown in Phoenix this past weekend Living in north Scottsdale like we do we do not get a lot of opportunity to get down south so it sounded good Apparently tho we are not very arty as our artwalk consisted of walking in one bank building and the room in it with old pictures of Phoenix on the walls and then we were done and ready for a cocktail Hey go with what you are good at I always say We started at Copper Blues and had a drink there first I had heard about the Arrogant Butcher and that was going to be ultimately our final destination BTW Copper Blues is pretty darn young I hear that the bands are good later but at pm not so much my style So anyway we were in the City Center but I swear we could not find the Arrogant Butcher We walked in four bars along the way trying to find it and the one on the roof was pretty cool When we finally got to the Butcher we sat at the bar and were immediately attended to by a very nice bartender My friend had been asking for some kind of liqueur that she got in Europe when she lived there and not one of the bars that we entered had it but the Butcher did Made her night nnWe decided to eat light and ordered the pretzels with provolone fondue and the Kale salad OMG I could have eaten the entire bowl of pretzels with cheese myself Screw the diet LOL super tasty And I really liked the kale salad too I personally am not a fan of their salad at the Quarter but this one was delish it had marconi almonds and an amazing dressing and it was And that was not a happy hour price ScorennBTW the bar can get pretty crowded because of its proximity to the arena a game let out and there was some nice eye candy walking around which was enjoyable so the whole trip was worth it even with seeing no art
