Downtown Phoenix is starting to BOOM. I have always heard that the Compass Room is Amazing… But, now I can tell you that it, for sure, most certainly is! Being a native of Arizona I thought there wasn’t much I haven’t seen. I can venture to now say that, you have not seen the most amazing view until you have been to the Compass Room — especially at Sunset!
For my birthday my fantastic husband surprised me with a mini-vacation in Downtown Phoenix. Now, Phoenix has not traditionally been known for it’s fantastic downtown area. We are one city that has built out instead of up. But, if you look in the right place and are willing to try new things downtown can be a very fun place.
Anyways, I digress! The Compass Room…where do I start? First it is located at the top of the Hyatt hotel in Downtown Phoenix. It is loacted right in the heart of the city…
The Compass Room Restaurant
122 North 2nd Street
Phoenix, AZ 85004
(602) 440-3166
Typically, if you are just headed in for drinks and an appetizer you don’t have to make a reservation. Especially if you arrive early as we did. The atmosphere is unbeatable. The Compass Room has an upscale, relaxed and quite atmosphere but far from stuffy, basically oh so very fun! The best part is the Compass Room revolves to give some of the best views the city has to offer. With revolving surroundings you don’t get bored. They have an extensive wine list and some very sumptuous cocktails — try The Scottsdale! They have a great Chef and truly the BEST Crabcakes I have ever had!
We were there for just appetizers before the Suns game so we only had a few drinks and the aforementioned crabby patties so we can’t give a very detailed review of the menu. However, the quality of the food in our opinion matched the price so it is fair to assume that carries on to all the entrées.
Truly a one of a kind experience that will give you the decadence of the city life with a warm and inviting atmosphere
Over all…10 out of 10! An unforgettable meal and evening!
