Downtown Phoenix is filled with an eclectic mix of eateries and cocktail bars that make a weekend night out an adventure for a gathering of friends or a romantic date. I love trying all of the incredible places downtown! Between Central Ave. and the Roosevelt District alone, there seems to be an endless supply of delicious restaurants to try. This includes Rough Rider. With its old-fashioned vibes paired with modern cuisine and creative craft cocktails, this is one must-try hidden restaurant in Phoenix, AZ.

Tucked away in the office building located at 1001 N. Central Ave. in Phoenix, Rough Rider is a restaurant and cocktail bar worth finding. And, just like a speakeasy, finding it is not all that obvious.

However, you'll find it when you locate the middle elevator to take you downstairs.

Perfect for a night out with friends or a romantic night out with your partner, this one-of-a-kind establishment is one you'll want to keep returning to.

Its ambiance is a step back in time to the simpler days of the late-19th century yet it offers modern cuisine -- a unique combination, to say the least.

Rough Rider is known for its Victorian-era craft cocktails, aka its "Curated Libations." Each drink is an experience in a glass, transporting you to a different timeline.

While the drinks are a throwback to the pre-Prohibition era, Rough Rider serves modern American cuisine artfully plated. Pair your exquisite dinner with a cocktail and enjoy the experience!

The menu offers a wide array of delectable dishes from Alaskan King Crab to a charcuterie board, carpaccio, duck breast, bone-in pork chop, and more. And for dessert, there's panna cotta or the s'mores cake as well as ice cream.

And, of course, the drinks are a must! Enjoy anything from tea punches to cobbler-style cocktails crafted with house-made jam, smoked drinks, and traditional cocktails made from recipes from the 1800s. If you don't drink alcohol, there are zero-proof options as well.
