http://www.rosiemccaffreys.com The best damn Irish pub in the world! Okay, you got us, we've never even been to Ireland, but at the very least, it's the best Irish pub in Phoenix. And why wouldn't it be? It comes to us from none other than Séamus McCaffrey, the fellow who lent his name to the second-best Irish pub in the Valley, which is downtown next to the Hotel San Carlos. McCaffrey sold the downtown establishment to his bartender Frank Murray, and opened Rosie's on Camelback. The new place appeals to all senses equally. The fish and chips are superb, as is the corned beef and cabbage, and there's Harp and Guinness on tap, too. Irish music most nights of the week. All in a two-floor building of dark wood, stained-glass windows, and portraits of Irish rebels of yore. And if you stay at the bar long enough, and drink enough Irish whiskey, you may feel a gaggle of leprechauns running up your leg! Céad Míle Fáilte, indeed. Read more about this Phoenix bar or club >>
Though 16th Street is filled with its share of Mexican food joints, discotecas, and distractions, nothing stands out as brightly in the darkness of night as the vintage sign adorning the Royale Lounge. While dive-seekers and hipsters make evenings and weekends busy, the bar stays lively during the day with working stiffs squeezing a beer or two on lunch break and neighborhood regulars sipping spirits around the clock. If their conversations aren't enough to keep your attention, their pinball machine, pool table, jukebox, and an amber-colored jar of pickle eggs might do the trick. The bartenders are plenty amicable, but don't try to pay with anything other than simoleons, as The Royale is a cash-only joint. Read more about this Phoenix bar or club >>
http://www.thebreadfruit.com/rumbar.htm There's more than just Bacardi being served at this cozy rum bar attached to Jamaican eatery The Breadfruit. Much more. Like a treasure trove of 108 brands of exotic, aged, vintage, and premium rumbullion, to be exact. A rustic wooden wall behind the bar contains shelf after shelf of snazzy bottles filled with amber-colored delights from throughout the world, including such far-flung selections as Matusalem Classico from the Dominican Republic to Cadenhead's Green Label from Scotland. If sipping a snifter straight up won't suffice, the mixologists here are happy to whip you up a rum-based drink, including such custom cocktails as The Good Jake (featuring Wray and Nephew Overproof, ginger root, and cola) to old standbys like daiquiris and Cuba Libres.

The latest creation of Valley club guru Steve Rogers (the mind behind such spots as Palazzo and Amsterdam), Sanctum is darkly-lit debaucherous danceteria designed in the spirit of an Euro-style Baroque cathedral mixed with plenty of Pagan-like influences. This posh playpen is kinda like Aleister Crowley meets Dante's Divine Comedy with plenty of satyrs thrown in for good measure. House and trance music pump from the high-tech sound system courtesy of local DJs who perch in the establishment's elevated DJ booth high above the dance floor.

http://www.seamusmccaffreys.com This place is about way more than Irish beer, me boy-o. Oh, sure. Seamus offers sandwiches and salads along with the usual super happy hour specials and such. But how about this: This authentic Irish pub is the home of Arizona's all-time best selection of Scotch and Irish whiskey in the state. If it's something other than a liquid diet you're looking for, pub food is served round the clock. Try the Shepherd's Pie or the crunchy-fried fish and chips. We go back for the corned beef and cabbage, served with boiled potatoes and just like Gramma O'Hara used to make. Live music most weekend nights is a nice side, but we also dig the company of the friendly, chatty staff the rest of the week. Friendly atmosphere and tasty pub food-what more can one ask for?

http://www.sidebarphoenix.com Boasting retro-futuristic swank, a relaxed upscale vibe, and a staggering selection of beer and wine, the always-stylish SideBar has become one of downtown Phoenix's premier drinking destinations. Perched on the upper floor of the historic brick building that once housed the Emerald Lounge and the original location of the Lost Leaf, the spot features a swinging '60s cocktail vibe and décor that was mapped out by renowned designer Judith Testani (of Olive & Ivy fame). A mix of mid-century retro and more modern elements -- including the programmable light wall and Paul Christiansen-like ceiling lamps -- SideBar's digs are matched in beauty by the precision cocktails served at the funky-looking illuminated bar. Try such tasty concoctions as the White Rabbit and the Psychedelic and see if you agree. Read more about this Phoenix bar or club >>
http://www.skyloungephoenix.com Exotically bumpin' beats and other tropical rhythmic treats await nearly every night at Sky Lounge, where the steamy and sultry Latin club serves up two floors of local DJs spinning cumbia, bachata, reggaeton, and other jams en español on the turntables from Wednesday until Sunday every week. Don't forget to bring some agua, cabrón. Read more about this Phoenix bar or club >>
This grungy CenPho drinking den could best be described as a dive bar to end all dive bars, as it features all the hallmarks of a classic hole in the wall: there are multiple signs hanging throughout the place advising patrons that fights aren't tolerated, a slew of cheap booze is constantly on special, and it's typically stocked with a salt of the earth clientele that's seemingly straight outta central casting. But if you're the sort who doesn't mind that type of thing, then the Snap Lounge is definitely the kinda place you can play some pool or shoot some darts with a shot and a beer while hiding from the rest of the world.

http://www.standuplive.com Comedy and cocktails are classic combination. Depending on the night's talent, sometimes you want a drink and sometimes you need a drink. But considering the host of big names at CityScape's Stand Up Live, you'll probably go with the former. Owned by next door live music purveyors Copper Blues, Stand Up Live takes a cue from its boozier neighbors with a long list of drink options including beer, wine and liquor in a cool, dark, theatre setting. Don't expect to see the bar for yourself, though. Friendly, whispering servers come to each of the venue's tables and quietly take orders, as not to accidentally heckle the comedians on stage. Then, they head to a back room where drinks are mixed and classily brought out on serving trays. Quick service and quality selection make Stand Up Live an easy venue to reach the two drink minimum.

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.tiltedkilt.com There's nothing more authentically Scottish than framed photos of Fat Bastard from the Austin Powers films and girls in plaid push-up bras and mini skirts. Tellingly, at Tilted Kilt, located downtown in the CitySpape plaza, the focus is less on real Scottish fare than on American standards like Bud Light and French fries. The spot features an extensive beer menu, and cheekily dressed bartenders who playfully flirt with the male patrons, but don't worry ladies --there's a slice of beefcake in it for you, too. Kilt fetishists bask in man-skirt glory as sport events splash across the bar's dozens of flat screens. Misters and fans keep views of U.S. Airways Center and downtown cool during hot summer months on the outdoor smoking patio, just a couple blocks from concerts and sports events taking place at the arena.

http://www.thetrunkspace.com Populated by a kooky coterie of performers and artists, the Trunk Space has become a haven for nationally touring indie outfits like Quintron and Miss Pussycat, as well as a number of burgeoning local bands. Creating a hipster block on Grand along with the always-popular Bikini Lounge and candy shop/record store Sweets & Beats, this quaint performance space/boutique/espresso bar is a stomping ground for a variety of musicians, artists, and other creative Phoenicians. Since its opening in 2005, a quirky cross-section of comedians, theater troupes, fringe acts, poets, and freakazoids have also graced the venue's tiny stage.

http://www.theturfpub.com It doesn't matter what you do to Turf's classic Caesar Salad. You can add chicken, shrimp, tuna, even calamari; it's still one of the best Caesars in town, made with fresh, crisp Romaine lettuce, parmesan cheese grated over homemade croutons and tossed with a perfectly made, lemony dressing. Follow this perfect salad with a traditional boxty, a delicious potato-based, grilled Irish pancake served with homemade soda bread and butter. The chicken boxty offers peppers and mushrooms tossed with chicken in a white wine cream sauce. Bangers and mash or burgers are other inspired options from Turf's gourmet kitchen, from which some pretty amazing meals have come. Read more about this Phoenix bar or club >>
http://www.zippsportsgrill.com CenPho sports bar fans like Zipps because it’s practically always open, and yet we’ve heard that people come from the east valley just for Zipps’ trademark Chicken Skewers—lightly battered, then deep-fried and served with something called Gold Sauce that’s apparently to die for. Zipps is locally owned and operated, and many of the menu items are made from closely guarded recipes. All of them are included on the generous, everyday happy hour menu that stretches well into dinner time—perfect for anyone who doesn’t want to stop watching the game in the cozy confines of Zipps’ bar.

http://www.facebook.com/theZoan Previously known as zGirl Club -- as well as Misty’s, Desert Rose, and Talk of the Town before that -- this after-dark destination in the heart of the Melrose District gay epicenter as one of the longest-running lesbian bar establishments in the Valley. Under its current existence as Zoan, it always seems to be crammed to the gills with Sapphic sirens of every stripe. From “bois” with spiky hairdos to jockish gals in shorts and tee shirts, ladies from around the Valley gather here to flirt and frolic while shooting pool or relaxing in its gorgeous side lounge. Dancing fun is offered within the video bar vibe of the main room, where high-energy club tracks and eye-catching visuals are played on numerous HD screens and Zoan’s bartenders pour such adult beverages as the “Pop My Cherry.” Hit the place during its electronica night, and you’ll likely find girls grinding on each other to Lady GaGa pop or EDM tracks, as well as the occasional femme fatale in skin-tight black pleather.
