It’s a safe bet that sports fans probably need a drink or two (no, make that several… dozen) to help forget all those underwhelming performances by multimillion-dollar buffoo… er, athletes from one time to another. The good news is that the Lighthouse’s barkeeps can pour ’em long and strong, regardless of which mind eraser you’d […]

If you’re not on […]

An exotic and romantic date spot thanks to its lakes, waterfalls and gondola rides, the Hyatt’s further buoyed by the resort’s rotating live music roster. Every night in the lounge you can find one of three acts — Paul McDermand (steel drums and marimba), Mosaico (a flamenco group with dancers) and Nuance (a contemporary classical […]
Owner Sid Campbell was a longtime cook at Pischke’s Paradise, the now-shuttered Scottsdale eatery, so he’s revived some favorite Pischke’s dishes here in tribute to his late employer, Chris Pischke (the Fire Island pizza, in particular, is worth a try). And as the restaurant name suggests, Local Breeze has a subtle tropical vibe, capitalizing on […]
Young gun chef Chris McKinley might “just want to have fun,” but that doesn’t mean his menu at The Local should be overlooked. The Roosevelt Row restaurant started off strong earlier this year with lunch, dinner, late-night eats, and brunch — though they’ve cut out brunch service for the summer. On the current menu you’ll […]

Luci’s Healthy Marketplace specializes in organic and natural foods – sort of like a pint-sized Sprouts, minus the produce department. It’s bright and airy inside, with a stylish retro-modern theme, a coffee bar, and a Viking Test Kitchen, where they offer cooking demonstrations. For a neighborhood market, Luci’s is pretty unique. Read our review.
There are plenty of reasons to cruise into this swank South Tempe sports bar and billiards haven to grab a drink or catch the game. First off, you won’t find just any old ramshackle pool tables inside the place, as it’s stocked with six gleaming, high-end Spencer Marston tables made from solid hardwood. Sharks and […]
“Upscale” and “bowling alley” aren’t words that you often hear in the same sentence. Until Lucky Strike Lanes opened at CityScape, that is. This California-based chain isn’t your typical bowling alley, full of church groups and old people smoking cigarettes in a dingy lounge. Nope, Lucky Strike is far more posh. A dozen lanes for […]
