You’ve heard of glimmers by now I hope? If not, they are those giddy moments in life that give you joy and happiness. Well, there’s also what I call bread crumbs from the universe that make sure you’re on the right path. And I followed mine all the way to Prescott, Arizona because of Red, White and Brew restaurant! They reached out via email with a holiday special and I noticed there was a location in Mesa, Arizona and one in downtown Prescott. I had been trying to plan a Northern Arizona snow angle story for months but the weather was not cooperating until randomly it did – twice!
I also asked where to stay and they said we love Prescott Pines Inn so I reached out via email and here we are, playing in the snow and eating my face off in the middle of a snow storm. Honestly, I can see why it’s easy to pack on the pounds in the cold weather as all I wanted to do was be in a warm cocoon and enjoy delicious flavors. Their motto is bold American dining in downtown Prescott and I have to say, they nailed it. Overlooking Courthouse Square, RWB features big plates, huge portions, happy hour from Tuesday to Sunday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. with a dog-friendly patio, and a warm, relaxed environment where guests become family and make fast friends.
Locally owned with a scratch kitchen, curated selection of red wine, white wine, and local beer that promotes local places that produces happy faces. Why? Because they use the highest quality ingredients in their medley of pastas, seafood, meats, poultry and more made fresh in the kitchen. I’m talking even down to the spinach that actually tasted like it and broccoli that was steamed with just a pinch of salt perfection! Okay, enough yapping let’s get to the eating portion of things below.
