Part restaurant, part ultra-lounge, The Mint occupies a 7,000 square foot space that was previously a bank, giving inspiration to the name. In a nod to its past, The Mint’s centerpiece is the original vault door, while updated touches evoke a Hollywood Regency design influence. For information on The Mint please visit their website. We would like to thank our marketing partners Gem Ray & Scottsdale Nights for their support!
