The Rokerij is named one of the best bars in America by Esquire

Says the mag in the new issue, with its slightly unorthodox use of the comma intact:

Step through the large wood door and down the stone steps. It’s calm and cool down here, like being in a cellar. There is a glowing fireplace, bottles of wine stacked up on the walls, a long, polished wood bar that stretches the width of the room. The bartenders are well dressed, they ask just enough questions, not too many.

Esquire’s also odd in that you can’t find the snippet online. On its web site it mentions two places in southern Arizona: The Hotel Congress and, rather fancifully, some place in Arivaca, which is close to the Mexican border in south west part of the state.

Last year, if we remember correctly, the only Arizona bar listed in the magazine proper was the Buffet in Tucson.
