[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.

• Murphy's, 201 N. Cortez Street, ☎ (928) 445-4044. Good food and service in a great, old building. After you order, take a walk around and browse the old photos and remnants of the general that was once housed in the building. Have the hostess show you the ledger for the local townspeople of the day.  edit
• Esoji, 220 West Gurley Street, ☎ (928) 445-4787. Authentic Japanese restaurant and sushi bar in Prescott. Enjoy well-prepared Japanese cuisine and good sushi in a friendly setting. The lively chef-owner is from Hiroshima and lived/worked in New York for 30 years before opening this place.  edit
