Wicked City, wickedly cool. It was really a sheer accident, on my friend's suggestion, that we even…read morewent to Jerome. What an awesome city! So much charm and with an interesting, if not sordid, past. Naturally, being in a place full of unique bars and restaurants, we had to seek out those that called us most. Wicked City Saloon is a cozy, little bar up near the top of the city. Beer, wine, cider. Sorry, no food. But the owners do have the Haunted Hamburger restaurant up the street, so load up there, then stop by the saloon. We had the opportunity to talk to the owner/bartender, Dawn, between customers. Her husband popped in for a second. Not only was she friendly and a good listener, but she was helpful, recommending different sites and restaurants to go, including the Bordello of Jerome (a restaurant, not a brothel!). On a side note, they are not open every day, nor all year long, so check in before making the trip. That being said, Jerome is definitely worth a day or even night trip from Phoenix. And there are wineries in the area if you really want to make a go of it. One last thing: loved the hidden bathroom. Ask Dawn or whoever is on duty where it is if you can't find it.

There are places you go for the wine. And then there are…read moreplaces you go for the people--and somehow the wine tastes better because of it. Caduceus Cellars, perched improbably in the bones of Jerome, is one of those rare joints where hospitality is not a script, not a brand exercise, but a lived, practiced craft. The kind you don't learn in a seminar. You earn it over years of showing up early, pulling shots, wiping counters, listening to locals, and remembering faces. We walked in right after opening--early, quiet, the town still rubbing the sleep out of its eyes. And then something extraordinary happened. Allen looked up, smiled, and recognized us. Not from last week. Not from last season. From eleven years ago. That kind of memory stops you in your tracks. It's not clever. It's not performative. It's human. It says: you mattered the last time you were here. From there, the hour evaporated. Life, travel, how Jerome has changed and how it hasn't. The ebb and flow of a town that's been rich, abandoned, rediscovered, and reimagined more times than most American cities ever will be. Brian and Allen don't rush you through a tasting--they invite you into a conversation. The wine is the anchor, but the exchange is the point. Before the cellars, these two ran what many locals still swear was the best café in Jerome. That's where they learned the real trade: how to read a room, how to listen, how to make people feel welcome without making a show of it. Coffee and espresso are brutal teachers--there's nowhere to hide. That discipline carries over beautifully here. And the wine? It's the kind that demands attention without demanding obedience. Thoughtful, expressive, unapologetically rooted in place. You come for what may very well be the best wine in the West--and you stay because someone remembered your name. Caduceus Cellars isn't just a tasting room. It's a reminder that the soul of travel isn't novelty--it's connection. Go for the wine. Stay for Brian and Allen. Leave with the feeling that, somehow, Jerome remembers you too.

We were in Jerome and decided to stop at Caduceus. The staff was friendly and gave us several…read moresamples to try. I'm not much of a wine connoisseur but the mead was very tasty. We snacked on olives and some bread with muffuletta spread. There's plenty of merch available and we picked up a few stickers for our yeti cooler. It's a nice place and the prices are reasonable.

Coming back to The Clinkscale for a second time--after such an unforgettable honeymoon experience…read moreback in November--just confirmed what we already knew: this place is truly something special. Traveling back to Arizona, we knew we had to return, and once again, it exceeded every expectation. The filet mignon is simply out of this world--served sizzling in a cast iron skillet with clarified butter, it's incredibly flavorful, perfectly cooked, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. It's the kind of dish you think about long after the meal is over. What really sets this place apart, though, is the people. The staff consistently go above and beyond, creating an experience that feels both elevated and welcoming. And Michael, the manager, is exceptional--so accommodating, attentive, and genuinely invested in making every guest feel taken care of. It's rare to find a restaurant that delivers this level of quality and consistency twice, let alone make you want to keep coming back. Without a doubt, one of the greatest dining experiences in the USA. We'll absolutely be back again.

There are even a few board and card games you can play while hanging out. There was an adult version of Trivial Pursuit was a lot of laughs. It is located in the back of a record store that is excellent for people watching, and I kind of feel bad for the staff having to deal with crazy fans, but it is what it is. I liked that the pretension level was dialed way back from Caduceus next door.

While making the reservation I made a note that our oldest son is autistic and non-verbal and his only form of communication so that staff was aware we decided to give this place a try. After spending close to $800 on food for our party we decided to exit the restaurant and that is when the problems began. As we were walking out another customer at the bar a patron at the bar decided to squeal at my son but also yell into his face. When who I assumed was her daughter realized we saw what was going on she covered her mouth and told her to stop. Being adults and understanding of others different situations we decided the best method was to approach the management team and explain the situation. I then approached a manger who was wearing a pink colored collared shirt and explained to her what happened and her response was "that hurts my heart, we do not stand for that and we will definitely do something about this." We waited outside for about 15 minutes to see what was going to be done and once we saw nothing was I went back in to speak to the general manager. This was definitely the worst part of the night. Tiana came out to speak to us and I asked her to speak on the side so that other patrons were not affected. Her response to me after explaining the situation was "since we did not see it we cannot do anything." I let her know that was an inappropriate response and that since it was a private business they could remove any patron for any reason but if they did not want to do that then she could just openly tell me that. I then gave her an example and stated "if I stab someone and you do not see it then you would not remove me?" Her response was "we definitely would," to which I stated that goes against what you just openly told me and she that there is damage from a stabbing. I then stated to her that physical damage is the same as emotional and mental damge just in a different form which she seemed to easily dismiss. She then stated that the first manager I spoke to was doing her due diligence to find out what happened and I then pointed out that that manager was actually waiting tables and we watched her do this the entire time so I was not sure when due diligence was being completed. We went around in circles, I asked her to give me the ownership information to which she stated "the owner is too famous for you to know," but eventually gave me the name which I had already searched for in my phone. At this point I openly stated that she could just tell me they were not going to do anything and that transparency would be more appreciated to which her response was "you are not currently dining in my restaurant so you need to leave my property." We did walk away but I hope that this is addressed and not pushed aside. All that to say, I hope this type of discrimination was not because we were Hispanic (the restaurant was filled with 90% Caucasian clients), because we were from out of town (from California) and mostly I hope it is not because the stance of the restaurant is not that people with disabilities matter less. I hope someone reaches out to me to address this concern and I hope no other family has to be a part of what we went through tonight. Tiana seems to be invested in the business and that is great but should also understand her customer concerns. Update to this review: Called this morning (2/17/26) and the hostess said she was not going to help me with any information, that I was a weirdo, to grow up and then hung up the phone on me.
