[edit][add listing] Drink

Prescott's historic "Whiskey Row" deserves a visit if only to say you were there. However, there are many fine drinking establishments throughout the city center that are worthy of mention:

Prescott Brewing Company - Fine ales brewed on site and a friendly atmosphere combine to make PBC an excellent pub. Sadly, there is no outside area so it is best enjoyed on a cool winter's eve.

The Raven - THE place to hang for the hip, younger crowd as well as the small group of Prescott progressives. All kinds of fine ales and lagers as well as a well-stoked wine cellar. A new outside roof-top area will open soon.

Coyote Joes - features a friendly back yard with live music most evenings during the summer. Very limited interior space so it can get crowded in the winter. Great pool tables.

Donnas Hut - the quintessential dive. A scary caged smoking area suggests that nicotine must really be very addicting.
