About the Clinkscale, Jerome  

The Clinkscale is a boutique hotel and a restaurant in Jerome, Arizona owned and operated by The Haunted Group. If you’re not familiar with The Haunted Group, this local hospitality group is run by Eric and Michelle Jurisin, who also own Jerome’s Haunted Hamburger restaurant and Cottonwood’s Pizzeria Bocce and Tavern Hotel.

A fun fact about the Clinkscale: in the late 1800s, the building where the Clinkscale is located was a mercantile, and it was one of the first places in the world to sell Levi’s jeans!

The Ambiance  

Revitalizing a historic building takes a special touch and Eric and Michelle knocked this one out of the park. They have maintained the aura of history that Jerome is known for, and at the same time provided a fun, modern feeling to the dining room.

Some special features include: exposed brick, mega-sized historic photos adorning the walls, and floor-to-ceiling windows for tons of natural light. Guests can dine at the bar (the Spanish tiles are such a cool addition), at free-standing tables, or in comfy booths.

Our Experience  

Before we get into the food at The Clinkscale, we want to give a shout out to the manager, Mike, and our server, Shae, who set the tone for our experience. They were great!

We dined at Clinkscale a few times on our wine tasting trip to Jerome, and enjoyed both breakfast and lunch there. Technically, the restaurant does not say they serve breakfast, but brunch starts at 8:30 am, so, it’s basically breakfast.

Here are a few of the dishes we tried:

• Brioche French Toast with fresh berries, sweetened ricotta, and maple syrup.

• Crispy Bacon

• Hot Chicken & Biscuits with crispy chicken breast, buttermilk biscuits, sausage gravy sauce, Buffalo hot sauce.

• Double Bacon Cheeseburger with American cheese, chili glaze bacon.

• Espresso Martini

• Roasted Tomato Poblano Soup

• Chopped Salad made with arugula, spinach, pepitas, couscous, corn, chives, currants, asiago, tomato.

Everything we tried was fantastic, and our experience could not have been better. The cheeseburger was outrageously good, and is a must-order item.
