Blue Hound Kitchen & Cocktails

Located on the second floor of the Hotel Palomar at CityScape in downtown Phoenix, this true, urban gathering place, like its contemporary American fare, successfully blends sophistication and familiarity along with a solid selection of signature cocktails. The restaurant's dishes, with a focus on local ingredients, are available as small plates or in two sizes — perfect for sharing or to mix-and-match. A bustling bar of reclaimed wood and mirrors, floor-to-ceiling windows in the dining area, and an outdoor patio make it easy to enjoy the city, along with the food and drink. Read our review.
