Sidecar Social Club at Ocotillo stands out as a top craft cocktail destination in Phoenix. I savored two outstanding drinks: the Purple Does Something Strange to Me, a light and refreshing mix of Kentucky bourbon, Mexican rum, and elderberry honey, and the Azteca, a creative twist on an Oaxacan old fashioned featuring Mexican whiskey, mezcal, and amaretto. The food matched the quality of the drinks, especially the perfectly balanced beet salad with smoked beets, ricotta, arugula, pecans, and honey—an ideal choice for a warm evening in Phoenix. Prices are between $20 and $30 per person. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
