Kazimierz World Wine Bar - Old Town Scottsdale - Food/Drinks

Kazimierz World Wine Bar

(it's Kaz-MEER-ehz, but you can call it Kazbar, Kashmere or whatever other pronunciation you devise)

Kazimierz world wine bar is downtown Scottsdale's hidden jewel, offering live entertainment, signature cocktails, global small plates and over 3200 wines. Kazimierz is Arizona's only wine bar awarded the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence annually (2001-2007).

History: When the space next door became available, owner Peter Kasperski planned a lounge to complement his neighboring restaurant, Cowboy Ciao. Named for Kasperksi's father, Kazimierz pays tribute to him through family photos, coin & stamp collections, and menu quotes worthy of a curmudgeonly, Schlitz-drinking, Chicago stone mason.

Atmosphere: comfortably plush sofas & chairs in vineyard colors, stone walls softened by candlelight; wooden wine casks evoke the feel of a European wine cave; subtle lighting; interesting mix of jazz, latin & world beat music at levels that don't strain conversation!
Hours: nightly, 6 pm - 2 am (kitchen open until closing)

Reservations: accepted for 6 or more guests, sofa areas may be reserved with a credit card guarantee and do require a food & beverage minimum. To request a reservation, phone 480-946-3004.

Directions: from Scottsdale Rd: Stetson is the first right turn South of Camelback. Look for the faux stained glass windows on your left and the two black columns next to them. Head down the outdoor corridor --sign above says Stetson Plaza. Valet parking also available, access from Stetson or 6th. (like all good speakeasys, the entrance is located at the rear of the building!)

Digestif - Downtown Scottsdale - Food

A lively, urban vibe contrasts the soulful, old-world food and the paradox results in a delicious, mood-lifting experience. Digestif is both ‘big city’ and a comfortable, neighborhood spot.
the lookDining Room meets Living Room! Designer Cory Golab of Cal Designs and Ron Ackerlund of Desert Design created a 1960’s suburban beatnik basement with low ceilings, brick walls, exposed ductwork, dark wood and stainless steel. Reserve a table in the dining room or catch the cooking action at the Charcuterie Bar. Dine al fresco on two patios or sip a post-ArtWalk cocktail at the Digestif bar.
the musicKeep an ear open to the eclectic musical mix – Digestif’s CD collection includes everything from Radiohead and Amy Winehouse to Arcade Fire and Spoon. Local music heroine Kimber Lanning of Phoenix record shop stinkweeds has collaborated on a listening station where diners can preview indie (and often, local) CD’s available for purchase. All proceeds go to local first Arizona, a grassroots organization encouraging Valley residents to help maximize economic benefits for the state and our local communities by patronizing locally-owned businesses whenever possible.

Silverstone - North Scottsdale

A 160-acre former Rawhide site at Scottsdale and Pinnacle Peak Roads will become a planned community called Silverstone. The community will include a health care facility, residences, a public library, offices and commercial areas. Silverstone will have 976 housing units and an assisted living facility that will rise 45 feet. The developer of Silverstone, RHVT Limited Partnership, will be responsible for widening several roads in the area due to the increased traffic the project will generate in the North Scottsdale area that it is located in.
