Artizen, Crafted American Kitchen & Bar Slip away for a Valentine’s Day nightcap at this Biltmore neighborhood hotspot known for its craft cocktails and playful art. Located at The Camby, locals can explore the hotel’s urban playground and escape the ordinary while sipping on one of the bar’s crowd favorite cocktails including the Gettin’ Figgy With It, made with Rittenhouse Rye Whiskey, banana liqueur, demerara syrup, and AZ Bitters Lab Figgy Pudding Bitters. Another option is The Dirty Word – a heady combination of New Amsterdam Gin, green chartreuse, fresh lemon, simple syrup and egg whites. www.artizenaz.com. Camp Social This eclectic and fun yet romantic spot offers guests the chance to cozy up and swing together along the bar’s tire swings, or to even imbibe after dinner inside a retro camper. Oh, and did we mention the s’mores menu? There is surely no better way to end the night than with something sweet. www.campsocial.com. Different Pointe of View Nestled atop a mountain 1,800 feet above the city, Different Pointe of View (DPOV) of Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort is often best known for its views, fine Modern American cuisine and internationally acclaimed wine cellar. But, those who haven’t tried its cocktail program after dinner, which uses fresh herbs from the mountainside Chef’s Garden as well as house-made syrups and even crafts its own bottled cocktails, are missing out. www.tapatiocliffshilton.com. Honor Amongst Thieves What’s sexier than a speak-easy? Not much, especially one tucked away and hidden above Stock & Stable on 7th Street. Stylish, dark and striking, the wood-accented Honor Amongst Thieves tempts with an extensive list of handcrafted drinks that honor the classics but still provide unique twists as well as small bites – and ample privacy. www.honoraz.com. LON’s at the Hermosa Nestled in the heart of Paradise Valley, with picturesque views of Camelback Mountain, the iconic outdoor patio at Lon’s at the AAA Four Diamond Hermosa Inn is notably considered one the Valley’s most romantic outdoor spots.
