Casablanca Rooftop Lounge, Scottsdale

Guided by the black-and-white swagger of Bogart and Bacall, Casablanca Rooftop Lounge shares small plates and elegant cocktails beneath twinkle lights on a top-floor patio. Guests can admire CamelBack Mountain in the distance as they dig into charcuterie boards and artisan cheeses, sip drafts of craft beer, or clink flutes of Dom Pérignon. But it's the craft cocktails that take center stage: heralded by the Phoenix New Times as "as much art as science," drinks are muddled with fresh fruit, shaken with premium liqueurs, and poured into dainty glasses. The cocktail list changes seasonally, but may include drinks such as the Lavender Mule, which mixes vodka, house-made ginger beer, and lavender simple syrup.
