The hours of operation read 11 to 9 outside of Mother’s Bar and Grill, but it’s the kind of place that will do nearly anything to keep the regulars happy, including staying open late to keep the Coors flowing. Those same regulars have carved their names into the bar–lacquered over to preserve their integrity–and the […]

Anything that can go wrong, inevitably will go wrong. So goes the old adage that inspired this brewpub’s moniker. While it’s not exactly the best attitude to have when engaging in an evening of drinking, the folks at this downtown Chandler drinkery seem to take the saying with an ample sense of humor. Dollar bills […]
Who doesn’t love pizza and beer? The classic combination is the starting point and calling card for Night Owl in south Scottsdale. This is the sort of spot you wish would open in your neighborhood. Those who live nearby are lucky ducks. There’s a large, twinkle light-strung patio, a welcoming bar, plenty of booths to […]
This brewpub in the Scottsdale Seville Center from Nimbus, the Tucson-based craft beer brewery with the iconic chimp icon, features over 16 beers on tap and a sizable menu of burgers, pizzas, sandwiches, and snacks.

North Mountain Brewing boasts a solid list of brews and a “beer-centric” menu. However, the brewers at North Mountain really excel in the art of beer naming. Funk 49, Hugh Hefeweizen, Soiled Dove Dirty Blonde Ale, “Neurotic” Belgian Ale, and James Brown Ale are just a few examples of the ever-changing, but always entertaining beer […]
A touch of the Irish in south Mesa, O’Kelley’s is a dark-wooden pub that boasts 50-plus televisions, a regular gaggle of bar patrons, a pool table, darts, golf arcade, and full menu. It also hosts local rock bands on Fridays and Saturdays and karaoke on Mondays and Thursdays. Craft beer and poker are the way […]
Celebrity chef Jose Garces’s upscale saloon inside The Saguaro hotel in Old Town Scottsdale is a perfect pairing of hard pours and satisfying tavern fare. Inside a cozy and dim, wood-covered interior with caramel-colored leather couches and glass jar lights, a small but tight menu of upscale bar snacks, housemade pickled seasonal vegetables, and burgers […]
This east Phoenix dive, located on Thomas Road across from perhaps the most chaotic Walmart in the Valley, opens at 6 a.m. and possesses many of the qualities one associates with a tavern that caters to morning drinkers. The crowd is casual bordering on haggard. The bar serves what we’ve come to call “personal pitchers” […]

The Ostrich is located behind a wooden door at the bottom of a stairwell around the corner from Crust Chandler. The name of this basement bar could suggest an ostrich burying its head in the ground, but actually, this was the room where ostrich feathers were stored by city founder Dr. A.J. Chandler himself. A […]
A visit to Outrider Rooftop Lounge feels like a cheat. Surely you have to be a hotel guest at the Canopy Scottsdale Old Town Hotel or at least a tourist visiting Scottsdale to access this rooftop bar, right? Wrong. The high-flying bar, complete with lounge chairs, fire pits and impressive views of Camelback Mountain, is […]
Who wouldn’t want a place like Pallets in their neighborhood? Fresh sushi and tasty Chinese dishes like orange chicken made up for sub-par Vietnamese menu items at this hip, pan Asian restaurant/bar on Roosevelt Row. Go for the reasonably priced food, the well-chosen variety, the pleasant wait staff and relatively late hours.
Board games and beer mix with music and madcap fun at this quaint neighborhood tavern nestled near Paradise Valley Mall. Its proprietors provide a little bit of everything for their patrons, including drink specials and distractions aplenty. Come in during the quiet hours and enjoy such all-day specials as $2.50 domestic bottles, $3 well drinks, […]
There are plenty of places to grab a drink along Roosevelt Row, but few rival the mad-science mixology happening at Pour Bastards. The cocktail, natural wine and self-described “shitty beer” bar is from the same team that runs Killer Whale Sex Club, FYPM and Disco Dragon. The muted interiors at Pour Bastards are relatively monochromatic, […]

If you’re hunting for this divers unmarked location within the decidedly button-down south Mesa plaza that houses it, steer clear of the law firms, real estate companies, and other white-collar business and instead look for the Christmas lights on the roof of the Pub ‘n’ Grub that seemingly operate 24/7/365. And yes, the bar is […]
If the yardstick of any sports bar ultimately is the size, quality, and visibility of its screens, then Red Embers is the heavyweight champion of the West Valley. Most everyone else? Mere 90-pound weaklings when compared to this upscale bar and grill inside Surprise’s labyrinthine Uptown Alley entertainment complex (read: bowling alley on steroids). Though […]
Like Doctor Who’s TARDIS, Roman’s Oasis is bigger on the inside. From the parking lot, the historic bar looks a bit ramshackle, a roadhouse that has evolved and grown over the decades. Inside, the sprawling bar goes on and on. The front room, anchored by a shuffleboard table and a large portrait of John Wayne, […]
