Taste of Tops

This near-downtown Tempe bar is known for its wine and craft beer selection. It’s also quite cozy, with a popular couch and comfortable bar seating for sampling the place’s 30 rotating taps, 20 by-the-glass wines, and more than 600 bottles and cans. Browse the local art pieces for sale, grab a board game (they’ve got several to choose from), or settle in to watch the nightly movies they play. Bonus: You can bring in food from neighboring restaurants — Thai Basil, maybe, or Little Szechuan. Headed home? They’ll fill a growler for you, or you can pop in next door to Tops Liquors and choose a bottle or a sixer to-go. Note: This bar is temporarily closed.
