Fodor's Expert Review 47 Scott

Hip in an understated way, this classy bistro and bar is firmly ensconced at the top of local "best of Tucson" lists, and its cocktails have garnered national attention. The minimalist setting—walnut banquettes, exposed pipes, and bare-bulb lighting—contrasts with the great care taken in preparing entrées like phyllo-wrapped chicken stuffed with spinach and goat cheese or steamed mussels with andouille sausage and pommes frites. Try a bold, herb-infused cocktail such as the Brick House old fashioned with bacon-washed rye.
