If you’re looking for a new favorite bar in town, you’ll want to check out the R.O. Bar @ The Red Onion, downtown at Arnold Plaza. David Rome, bar manager, was quick to point out that this bar is unique: it’s not your typical loud bar, “We really wanted to go for a sophisticated, upscale bar: think your wine and cheese sort of thing. Owner Steve Van Ella is looking to emulate that classy downtown Scottsdale look and feel.” With upscale food from The Red Onion, combined with quality beers and liquors, the R.O. Bar has managed to add a touch of sophistication to the local bar scene.
Every last detail of the bar interior was designed and built by owner Van Ella—from the bar right down to the light fixtures—adding the owner’s touch and vision for revamping Arnold Plaza. The R.O. Bar provides at-the-bar and table seating. There’s also room for casual outside dining and drinking, taking advantage of the typically perfect Havasu weather. Add in planned art shows and events and it’s clear to see that Van Ella’s vision for the R.O. Bar is rapidly becoming a reality.
Already gaining a reputation for their famous Bloody Mary’s, the bar offers a variety of tap and bottle beers including local Mudshark brews, notably Full Moon and Scorpion. “A full line of Three Olive Vodka including Cake, Cherry, and OR-G, complimented by high-end Tequilas like Silver Cruz and Don Julio are sure to satisfy the most discriminating pallet”, noted Rome.
Happy Hour menus feature a variety of flavorful appetizers as well as ½ off drink specials. Meal specials include all-you-can-eat fish as well as mouth-watering prime rib. Fine dining and excellent drink selections all wrapped up in the upscale elegance that you won’t find anywhere else in town makes for a memorable night out at the R.O. Bar @ The Red Onion.
