4 reviews for Thirsty Camel @ The Phoenician
Since this bar was right outside the door of my room, I happen to make several visits. Most of them were very positive.
Most of the bars at the Phoenician will make a good mojito. This place makes the best. It is one of the best mojitos I had in a long time.
The bar is very nice. Looks like something you would find in San Francisco. Very large marble bar with high bar stools and very nice furnishings and a large out-door area for sitting and relaxing, especially toward dusk.
The bar also has a fine selection of cigars. I don't think you can smoke there. I did not eat at the bar. They did serve a selection of tasty nuts though.
The staff was pretty friendly, except for one young guy. I guess he just got hired or something. That guy made a big deal about two of my guest not wearing sleeves? Not like we are in the UAE or Saudi Arabia! Any way, did not make a big deal since my room was next door, but still kind of weird. I know it is a 5-star hotel, but it is summer, the pool is right out the door and they were wearing nice tank-tops. What ever. I still liked the bar.
If you need to make a choice in hotels, this is the place!

I just love coming here when I am in Scottsdale! Prefer to sit outside on their terrace that overlooks the city in the evening when they have their fire pits going. Just a few cocktails and an appetizer or two can set you back some bucks but hey, every once in a while you got to treat yourself!

The view, atmosphere, music, the sporadic camel growl, the beverages, it's just a fantastic place to chill, especially on a Saturday evening to view the stars. (They provide a very high powered telescope in which to view the stars, our moon and the moons of Jupiter.....and even fires blazing in Mesa (yes, there was a raging in Mesa one night I was at the Camel this past Summer).
Yes, you're going to pay a premium for everything here, but it is worth it, the view, vibe and service are unparalleled in Phoenix Metro. Their wine list is pretty good, they do have a cigar list and during Summer months, they do a nice Bombay Sapphire, tonic and lime...... :)
Go with friends, bring a date, just check it out when you get a chance.

I'm giving this place 4 stars (and not 5) simply because the drinks are f-ing expensive. The seafood risotto just may be the best meal south of Camelback Mountain. Believe it or not, for $32, it's a bargain - it comes with lobster tail, scallops, shrimp, and of course risotto.
Unlike many other high end eateries, you will not walk away feeling hungry. The bartenders at Thirsty Camel are all top notch and friendly. Jeff, Scott, and Kyle are sure to take care of your every need. The people come from all over the country, conversation is never dull, and the views certainly don't suck.
You can't go wrong at the Camel - if you're looking for a piece of ass, there are sure to be many a cougar on the prowl at this joint. On the other hand, if you're looking to wine and dine your date, this is a great hotel bar to check out. Who knows, if you get lucky, some of the nicest rooms in town are a few steps away.
