    Kactus Kate's front building.
    Levi L.

    This place is phenomenal. Good prices, clean atmosphere, and great clientele. We had an absolute blast here, from what I can remember lol Bartender was great and their cooler is a relic from the past that still works like a dream. They don't make ''em like that anymore! They also have a patio out back with plenty of seating. I highly recommend this spot if you want to drink with the locals and have a really good time.

    We spent some time doing battle with the elements during a beautiful sightseeing train ride through the scenic Verde Canyon in nearby Clarkdale. So a tall cold brewski was in order. We stopped in Cottonwood to survey the downtown area for an appropriate watering hole and Kactus Kate's Saloon jumped out at us. Maybe it was the kitschy outdoor sign or the convenient location on Main Street, but it summoned us with a thirsty siren call. We bellied up to the bar and ordered ourselves some cold, cold beers. The interior was not near as "divey" as we might have anticipated, but the clientele were colorful and the barstools were comfortable. I treated my bar companion to a shot of sweet tea vodka with lemon on this appropriately hot summer's day. We decided to beat feet and hit the road, but I noted with my eagle-eye that this place sold package liquor. We ordered up a six-pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon to go and were prepared for later that evening as we unwound in the jacuzzi at our hotel, barely aware of the red rock monoliths and creatures of the desert that surrounded us.

    Great dive bar!!

    Great place, had a fun time! Scott bartender was nice! If you don't like dive bars....this isn't your place.

    Good place to relax, have a drink, and, make new friends! No frills, fair prices for beer and a jukebox to play your favorite tunes.

    We came on a rainy Saturday night with no reservation. It was surprisingly busy inside, we asked…read morefor the wait and the hostess said about 45 min. We decided not to stay so we left. We ended coming back about 10 min later because there wasn't too many food options around the area. The same hostess asked if a table was ok and we said yes so we ended up getting seated immediately. We were a little confused We ordered a few things, Garden salad - the portion was big but the vinaigrette dressing didn't taste like anything. I wish we got a different salad since it just tasted like plain wet salad (4/10) Pesto Pizza - very good pesto flavor and I really enjoyed their pizza dough. I wish we added some type of meat ontop because it felt like it was missing something. I'd probably get it again and ask to do that (6.5/10) or a (8/10) when I added the chicken Chicken piccata - this dish was good, chicken was a little dry. It came with polenta that was very flavorful. I was using this chicken to eat with the pizza and salad. (7/10)

    Merkin Vineyards and Tasting Room is hands down one of the best wine and dining experiences I've…read moreexperienced in Arizona! From the moment you arrive, everything feels thoughtfully curated. Starting with the charming tram/trolley that takes you up to the restaurant, offering a fun and scenic alternative to climbing stairs. We started with a wine flight, and I have to say--the white wine options were outstanding! Crisp, refreshing, and beautifully balanced. Each one had its own character, and the staff, super knowledgeable and happy to walk us through the flavors and pairings. If you're a white wine lover, this spot is a must. The food was equally memorable. Hubs ordered the muffuletta sandwich which included layers of flavor with high-quality ingredients on a lofty rosemary focaccia bread- delish! I ordered the house salad & added organic chicken. This salad was fresh, hearty, and full of vibrant farm-to-table goodness. You can absolutely taste the difference. We enjoyed sitting outside with beautiful Arizona weather on the patio. This spot is perfect for sipping wine and soaking in the views. Merkin also offers canned wines to-go and a fun selection of merch, which makes it easy to take a little piece of Merkin home with you. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or just looking for a relaxing day with great food and drink, Merkin Vineyards is a gem. Personally, I can't wait to return!
