Legend has it, Dr O’Hare began his practice in Gilbert in 1910. When prohibition became law in 1920, he saw opportunity. As a doctor, he began to prescribe “alcoholic concoctions” to his “patients” and opened his Apothecary (pharmacy) in 1920. Today, The White Rabbit lives on in Downtown Gilbert.

- LLindaPhoenix / Arizona •19 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThis was our first time at the original Shimogamo. What an amazing and wonderful restaurant. We have eaten sushi for many years, including at the Gilbert Shimogamo, but never had dined at a Japanese restaurant serving other dishes. What a treat. And we were so generously assisted by our waiter and any waiter that delivered any dish to us. They very thoughtfully answered all of our questions about both food and cocktails and enabled us to make great choices. I won’t even try to list all the wonderful items we ate. It was all perfect and we had everything from small bites, oysters on the half shell, sushi and dessert. Also cocktails! Between the fantastic food and incredible service we were very happy people. The restaurant is cozy, mostly very quiet and very comfortable. I expect us to become regulars here. Please tell all the staff they are amazing.More infoShimogamo Japanese Restaurant - ChandlerPrice: Expensive• Japanese• Chandler•4.8
