Whiskey Row is in the heart of Prescott, AZ. If you've never been to Whiskey Row, it is a flat out fun place to visit; cowboy honky tonks and the likes. Its name is (you've probably guessed) because of all the saloons along Montazuma Street. There were many more back in the "old days." In fact, in the late 1800's, there were at least 40. Then, a fire wiped out the entire block in 1900 and a local ordinace was put into place that halted the amount of bars being rebuilt. Believe me, though, there are still plenty to stop in and wet your whistle.
Don't get the wrong idea, though. Whiskey Row is not all about saloons. There are plenty of shops to explore if you're on the hunt for a special Arizona gift, or a colorful piece of art. Our local artist are talented folks and you won't want to leave town without something to take home.
And restaurants! You'll be hungry from all your shopping, so you'll want to stop in and get a bite to eat. I like all the eateries in this area but honestly, my favorite is The Grumpy Sicillian; GREAT pizza! I asked the owner, the first time I ate there, "So, are you the grumpy Sicllian?" He nodded. ;-)
Here are a few links of great places to visit to give you a little taste of Prescott.
