Vig Arcadia

Phoenix


Ignore the imposing Soviet-style exterior and step inside. The Vig is where the smart set – stylish, well-scrubbed, happy – come to knock back a few cocktails. Sleek booths, a dark bar, a bustling patio complete with a bocce court, an upbeat vibe and complimentary valet parking: be careful or you might find yourself spending half a day here. There's an uptown outpost too.
