10-12 Lounge

The 10-12 Lounge has been in the same location since 1959. We did a complete rebuild and the new interior is nothing like the previous one. Comfortable leather seating, a beautiful bar, large screen televisions, and cozy booths await you. Big city class with a small town atmosphere. We have live music every Saturday night starting at 8pm and on Sundays at 5pm. Enjoy your cocktails on the beautiful back patio or inside at the cleanest bar you've ever experienced. We don't have our own kitchen but we do offer food from the Boathouse Grill next door. Great food, great company, great service.

Mingus Mountain Area

Reviewed By MikeB1952 - Colorado Springs, United States

Great of both sides of the mountain! We drove the road going from Prescott to Jerome. In fewer than 35 miles, Arizona State Route 89A goes from scrubby prairies up to mountains topped by pines and aspens. It’s quite the drive. Beginning from Prescott, it’s mostly rolling scrub oak hills. From there it winds and climbs steeply up the mountain. Wow! What a climb. At the top, there’s an amazing view of valley below. The road winds down into a canyon with a big mining operation off to one side. Lots of copper pulled from the mountains here. And finally, the road travels to and through Jerome and down to Clarkdale. It is such an amazing drive. We loved it.

A delightful small museum, volunteers were very engaging. Especially the ex AT&SF division manager. The volunteers have done a nice job in still remote village.

Historic Road - US Route 89A

One of only three historic Arizona roads recognized by the State of Arizona, Centered in Clarkdale. US Route 89A is plaqued with a historic 89A sign and the historic portion begins in Cottonwood, Arizona south to Clarkdale, Arizona and ends in Jerome, Arizona. All three towns have historic districts (Old Towns) with the road as its center. Clarkdale features a historic 89A road marker near the center of town, which explains the origins of the road as a trail about 600 years ago.

We took Historic Route 89A on our way up to and from the Grand Canyon. It was a windy road and it was around Labor Day weekend so the road was stop/go all along Oak Creek with people camping and swimming. The road itself had beautiful views bringing you from the high desert to the mountains. Along the way was some vista points which was fun as the Native Americans were selling their beautiful jewelry much to my delight! On the way home we hit some well deserved rain which brought out rainbows in the early evening, it was beautiful! As we got higher on the road we even spotted some elk!
