If there is one common thread that binds all Arizonans, it’s our love for food. Whether you’re seeking the best tamales or the best eateries way out in the countryside, you’ll find it – and more – right here in your own Arizona back yard. However, literally finding the following hidden restaurant could be a bit of challenge, at least until now…
If live, or spend much time, in Phoenix, then you may recognize the ivy-flanked awning that covers the entrance to the big stone restaurant known as Rokerij. But did you know there's an underground bar and restaurant whose door is cloaked behind this entrance?
Instead of passing through the awning and entering through the door in front of you, turn to your right. There's a brown wooden door that opens to a stone staircase leading to the cellar — and oh-so much more. Take a look...
Rokerji serves up delectable Southwest, American and Mexican cuisines (and so does the bar in the cellar), and their steaks are a savory, mouthwatering delight!
From bone-in prime rib to NY strip, sirloin and tenderloin filets, the carnivorous choices on the menu are so very right that you may have difficulty choosing just one.
The cellar bar and eatery at Rokerij is a delightfully cozy place with an atmosphere you're sure to love. The signature pewter serving plates only add to the beautiful presentation.
The youtube video below from Richardson's Restaurants will walk you through where to find the door to the cellar, and give you a peek at the underground bar and eatery. Enjoy!
Live outside of Phoenix? It may be time for a road trip! Rokerji is located at 6335 N 16th St., Phoenix, AZ 85016. The hours are Monday through Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. and Saturday/Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. Learn more on the official website of Richardson’s Restaurants and on the Facebook page for Rokerij.
