New Bistro and Bar Brings Regional Favorites to Arizona
 
Regions Bistro Celebrates Comfort Foods and Regional Fare
 
Phoenix, AZ (February 16, 2009) With the numbers of native Arizonans relatively few and far between, it is an everyday occurrence to meet neighbors, new contacts and co-workers from about every other state in the country; especially those from chillier locales like the Midwest and Northeast.  As much as Arizona is a transient state, the new Regions Bistro & Bar honors and celebrates the ever present mix of residents, whether full- or part-time.  

Slated to open in late February and early March, Regions will reside in two bustling locations ñ one at the Shops at 94 Hundred Shea retail center in North Scottsdale, the other on the southwest corner of Mill Avenue and 6th Street in Tempe.  Regions will appeal to a broad audience seeking a quality dining experience at a good value, with an emphasis on highly personalized service.  
 
Open daily for lunch and dinner, the mid-upscale concept will feature an all day menu filled with American comfort food, satisfying small plates, beautiful salads and an inventive cocktail list.  Each month a new regional menu will feature cuisine and complementing libation from another section of the country, from the Mid-Atlantic and Pacific Northwest to the Rocky Mountains and Deep South. 
 
Both Regionsí locations are of ample size, each holding approximately 130, and will feature roomy lounge areas, patio dining, natural, organic accents and dÈcor.  North Scottsdale holds two separated private dining vignettes for parties from 8 to 24, which can converted to hold one large party; Tempeís lounge will also hold a VIP area that can be reserved for intimate gatherings.  
 
Happy hour takes place 7 days a week from 2 ñ 6pm with special prices on cocktails, small plates, wines by the glass and beer.   
 
Regions Bistro & Bar will be open daily from 11am ñ 2pm for lunch, and from 5 10pm for dinner during the week and until 11pm on the weekend.  The bar menu will be available from 2 -5pm.
