Featured Bars and Clubs


A "no sniveling" sign hangs adjacent to the bar at the Tailgate, which pretty much sums up the attitude of this Tempe spot: no nonsense, no frills, and no bull. Order something domestic as you saddle up to the bar, joining mid-day regulars who tend to drink their lunch (although daily food specials are also available). Free pool is offered on Sundays, all manner of sporting events are broadcast on 10 televisions, and both dartboards and arcade games are handy (in case the exploits of the local teams become too depressing to watch). The Tailgate, which also features live music on its stage, is frequented by the kinds of salt-of-the-earth clientele who wander over from neighboring industrial centers for an after-work pick-me-up. Whining about workplace woes is kept at an absolute minimum, however, as the aforementioned signage dictates. Read more about this Phoenix bar or club >>
Time has seemingly ground to a halt inside the Tallyho as the look of this North Scottsdale neighborhood dive hasn't changed much since it debuted back in 1969. Over the past four decades, longtime owner Lois Richards has stubbornly held onto such kitschy touches as the stained glass windows, red vinyl booths, and wrought iron fixtures, refusing to change with the times. It's something of a keen throwback to the era when Bill Close read the nightly news, providing patrons with a trip through time to go along with their drinks. Although the Tallyho is equally steadfast in refraining from having a happy hour ("We've always been happy here from open to close," quips one female bartender), well drinks are only $3.50 and most bottled beers go for $3. Sadly, there aren't any old school brews like Hamm's or Löwenbräu available. Read more about this Phoenix bar or club >>
http://www.topsliquors.com Sitting pretty next to its big sis operation Tops Liquors, the pint-sized Taste of Tops is a cushy, lounge-like addition to the famed alcohol emporium located at University Drive and Farmer Avenue. And much like at the original Tops, it's all about the alcohol. The small, inviting bar features a dozen different draft taps of specialty beers, wine by the glass (or by the bottle if purchased at the store, with a small additional corking fee), and a row of refrigerators stocked with row after row of delicious-looking microbrew and craft beers. Local artists switch out their work on the walls each month, which always keeps the look of the place fresh. Comfy couches, low booths and rich wooden chairs create a mellow vibe for hours of laidback drinking and unrushed hanging. When a no-fuss night out is in order, Taste of Tops is the answer.

http://www.taverngrillescottsdale.com There's nothing quite like cozying up in a woodsy tavern on a cold day and embracing your inner glutton. Good luck finding a day like that here in the Valley, but you can capture the same ambiance at Scottsdale's Tavern Grille, right off the 101. Blue collar regular Joes and Scottsdale suburbanites dine on pub grub and casually toss peanut shells on the floor. Seriously. The Tavern welcomes it. Sip one (or more) of the bar's dozens of on tap brews as you watch the game on one of the spot's many flatscreens. Save some cash from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. everyday at happy hour, with $2 longneck bottles, $2.25 drafts and $8 pitchers as you enjoy a soundtrack of classic rock tunes. Those very rock stars peer down from portraits in approval. Read more about this Phoenix bar or club >>
http://www.tavernonmill.com Described by its owners as a "high volume" hotspot, the Tavern more than lives up to that slogan. Talented turntablists loudly blast out Top 40 and rock three nights a week. Meanwhile, close to 40 high-def widescreen TVs (more than any other bar on Mill) broadcast music videos, sports, and all those extra satellite channels you can't quite bring yourself to splurge on. The interior bar area and the outdoor patios are both brimming with ASU coeds, meaning there's plenty of eye candy. Oh, and they have daily drink deals, too, like $2 Coronas and Pacificos on Tuesdays and 22-ounce "big-ass" beers for $3 on Wednesdays. Those deals offer value just as voluminous as everything else at the Tavern, one of Mill Avenue's signature establishments. Read more about this Phoenix bar or club >>
The drink selection at the Taxi Inn is limited to beer and wine, but that doesn't seem to matter to its patrons. Everyone's having too good a time soaking in the dive bar ambiance and sucking down Pacificos and Tecate to care about the fact that the only mixed drink being served are Micheladas (a.k.a. suds spiced up with tomato juice and Clamato in the style of a Bloody Mary). Located a stone's throw from Sky Harbor International Airport (hence its name), this dope dive doesn't see many travelers stopping off before their flight, but instead is the stomping ground of both the blue-collar crowd and a mostly Hispanic clientele. The signs outside promise pool, and Taxi Inn delivers with three billiards tables. Things really get popping, however, when neighborhood folks come out to catch UFC events, boxing matches, and -- especially -- soccer games. Keeping the Taxi Inn in mind during major events like World Cup is a must if you want to joyously bellow out "GOAL!" with fellow fútbol fans. Read more about this Phoenix bar or club >>
http://www.teakwoodstavern.com It may be located in a quiet Chandler strip mall, but Teakwood's isn't your run-of-the-mill sports bar. The cozy, casual atmosphere with tons o' flat screens make it an ideal spot to watch the game. Sounds good, right? It's also a great place to make a mess. Buckets of peanuts grace each table, and they really seem to want you to throw the shells directly on the ground. Go ahead, someone else will clean it up, just like at the stadium. The extensive menu of bar food leans toward such Midwestern classics as cheese curds and meatloaf, which make hearty alternatives to their award-winning wings. Drink specials every night of the week and pitchers of ice cold beer make Teakwood's a local favorite. Read more about this Phoenix bar or club >>
http://www.teakwoodstavern.com There's a certain down-home spirit to this casual, family-friendly bar and restaurant. A cartoon moose greets you at the entrance, abandoned peanut shells cover the floors, and rustic décor makes it feel like a place the Griswold family would stop by on one of Chevy Chase's family vacations. Teakwoods' kitchen serves up hearty bar food, including crowd favorites like burgers and wings and more unique offerings like lavosh. Sport your favorite jersey, order some on-special brew (there are drink specials every day of the week) and engage in laid-back lounging with a group of pals while you cheer on your favorite team.

http://www.tempeimprov.com Renowned as one of the biggest comedy clubs in the nation, the Improv has featured a star-studded array of blockbuster comics over the decades. Names like Jerry Seinfeld, Janeane Garofalo, Robert Schimmel, and Dave Attell have all graced the venue's stage and have even taped specials to air on HBO or Comedy Central. Gigs usually run all weekend, from Thursday to Sunday, and there's typically a two-item minimum for shows. Read more about this Phoenix bar or club >>
http://www.tempetavern.com Tempe Tavern oozes Arizona history. The historic building, built in 1918, used to be known as the White Dairy Barn and preserves the many of its original features, including exposed-concrete columns, door framing, and cobblestone surfaces. The bar used to house Tempe favorite Murphy's Pub and the New Oxbow Tavern, and those aren't the only ties to clubs of the past: the (non-working, unfortunately) phone booth used to belong in Valley favorite Buzz Funbar. The bar doesn't solely lean on fond memories, though. The kitschy, bottle-cap-covered walls by the bathroom, vintage beer signs, and full stage all point to a bar that has an identity all its own, with an old-school, relaxed feel. Located just off the Apache/McClintock light-rail stop and across the street from the luxury housing of the Grigio Metro apartment complex, the bar points to a bright future for a section of Tempe that is rife with old memories and ripe for new ones.

http://www.terrajava.biz Long considered to be one of the coolest art/coffee houses in Phoenix, Terra Java Coffee House & Bake Shop's offers comfy couches and other relaxing seating, Wi-Fi access, and plentiful, spacious tables that make it a great place for students to study. Its baristas also whip out any number of caffeinated concoctions - ranging from high-octane cappuccinos to teas from around the world - and monthly gallery exhibitions from local creative types are featured on the walls. Although it no longer features any live music (owing to its daily 6 p.m. closing time), the weekly spoken word and poetry session goes down on Saturday afternoons.

http://www.terroirwinepub.com As a wine pub, Terroir could really stand to amp up its grub. Don't come here expecting to make a meal out of the snacks. Instead, come here for some serious drinking, as the pours are extremely generous. Three dozen wines by the glass change almost daily, so you'll never get bored with the selection.

http://www.thephoenician.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=places&utm_campaign=google_places_ms It's hard to tell where the The Phoenician's lobby ends and the Thirsty Camel Lounge begins, mostly because the view from both is so stunning. From the lounge's terrace, visitors can see Scottsdale Waterfront, the Papago Hills, South Mountain, and even the San Tan Mountains, not to mention the thousands of palm trees that dot the landscapes in between. On the patio, you can recline near the roaring fires, while inside the bar, you can catch the sounds of live jazz and eye the booze stored in the gigantic liquor cabinet. Arrive around dusk to catch one of Phoenix's trademarked sunsets and watch as the mountains give way to city lights. Read more about this Phoenix bar or club >>
