I'll be honest ... I come here for the whisky selection, and the chainsaw cut ice cubes. But their food is amazing too - the "Original Chopped Salad" used to have it's own Facebook fan page. They have a fantastic Happy Hour!

I will be honest, I didn't "get" Arizona until I visited the DBG. Only then did I understand why the Sonoran desert is the most lush in the world, and how diverse (and yes, different) the desert flora is.
