The menu features a collection of localized bar snacks with a Southwestern theme along with creative-sounding cocktails, as well as salads and a few entrees. The renovated space features a chic, rustic dining area complete with a minimalist fireplace visible to passersby on East Adams Street. In the fall and winter, it appears that the […]

El Charro is more than a coffee shop experience. Husband-and-wife owners Francisco and Azul Peralta, former workers in STEM fields, have drawn from their world travels and aimed for more of a salon vibe. They hit that target. Sit at the bar, and unbidden, Francisco may pour you high-end mezcals, just so you can taste. […]
Famous 48 Local Kitchen & Bar offers a menu of items with an Arizonan nod, like the Sun Deviled Eggs and Four Peaks Nachos, but we want to talk about the hefty Havasu Hot Chicken Sandwich. This is a major slab of crispy fried chicken doused with house-made hot sauce. The handheld also holds lettuce, […]

Sports bars are a dime a dozen in every city in the U.S., so it’s hard for one to stand out from the pack. They all have sticky bars, ripped up barstools, cute-after-a-few-drinks bartenders, and TVs that are too often left on a channel no one wants to watch. If we ever had the opportunity […]
Gracie’s Tax Bar gets half its name from Grace Perry, the founder of the bar (and the former singer of the local metal group Landmine Marathon). The other half comes from Harold and Morda Abbey, the original owners of Abbey Tax Services, which once occupied the downtown Phoenix building where Gracie’s has been serving drinks […]
The Grapevine, a folksy bar and grill situated in downtown Scottsdale, is the place where local karaoke singers go when they get serious about their much-maligned craft. Besides being one of a handful of Valley venues where karaoke is offered every night of the week, The Grapevine also features the inimitable talents of disc jockey […]
Synthwave, arcade, motorsports, movies, food, and beer. If any of these things interest you, this is the place you will want to be.
This kinda-biker bar, kinda-sports bar in the shadow of Papago Park has gone by many names over the years: Baja Red’s Cantina, Daisy Duke’s, The Lark. In 2014, Bill Voss, a Harley-Davidson enthusiast with a wife named Gypsy, took over. Gypsy’s namesake roadhouse is a reliable pit stop for cold beer, burgers and perhaps a […]

The first thing you’ll notice at this neighborhood bar on Mesa’s Main Street is that you can smoke inside. That’s because there aren’t technically windows, just screens, meaning it’s actually one large enclosed patio. (The bar switched to this model after the 2007 statewide smoking ban.) The staff says the Hambone dates back to 1956, […]
Most people come to this 16th Street spot for the beloved burgers, which are sizable, cheap ($7.50, with fries), juicy, and, yes, splashed on the flat top with red wine. For those who live nearby, though, Harvey’s is a wonderful neighborhood dive that just happens to also serve tasty burgers. Aside from the bright green […]
Highball opened at the tail end of October 2020 in the former SideBar space. The concept is overseen by Libby Lingua and Mitch Lyons, formerly of Barter and Shake Hospitality, but the new, sleek establishment is gimmick-free. Expect an elegant copper bar, black leather couches and exposed brick walls at the top of those stairs. […]

There’s plenty of charm that awaits at this Glendale dive, for those lucky enough to stumble upon its location in the far corner of a Bell Road strip mall. But once found, however, The Hoot Owl — in business for more than 20 years — rewards with pitchers of domestic beer priced competitively with a […]
This is our new place of worship. We go here not to genuflect but to dine on the yummy Pub Garden Salad, a fresh mix of greens with tomato, onion, shredded cheddar and crunchy croutons. Served with our choice of dressing on the side, this is the perfect lunch or accompaniment to the house specialty: […]
There are a lot of sports bars on the West side of town, but comfy, approachable Irish pubs? Not so much. Which is exactly why we were so happy to stumble upon Irish Wolfhound Pub in Surprise. The restaurant and bar looks like nothing special from the outside, sure, but walk in and you’ll find […]
