Businesses tend to come and go in Downtown Tempe, but brewpub Gordon Biersch, which overlooks the corner of Mill Avenue and Fifth Street, has been a loyal mainstay for more than a decade. It’s no surprise, given the bar’s lofty view (which is particularly nice at sunset) and the establishment’s longstanding dedication to handcrafted beer. […]
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 […]
Synthwave, arcade, motorsports, movies, food, and beer. If any of these things interest you, this is the place you will want to be.
There’s no clearer illustration of how this Mesa mainstay toes the line between family-friendly establishment and dive bar than its claw machine, which is filled with stuffed animals and, ahem, adult novelties. Beyond this incongruous mix of innocence and outrageousness, Groggy’s offers numerous pool tables and a relaxed environment, no matter how intense the billiards […]

Like other flashy downtown Phoenix nightspots, Gypsy Bar comes alive with light, sound, movement and color after sundown, with life emanating from both its lustrous, LED-laden in-house dance club and the adjacent arcade teeming with more than 40 state-of-the-art video games. Inside this second-story adult playground next to CityScape’s Lucky Strike, the thrum of electronic […]
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 […]
At first blush, Half Moon might seem to be strictly a “guys night out” kind of bar. After all, pictures of half-exposed hineys are scattered throughout the establishment, the wait staff consists almost entirely of young and attractive women in form-fitting tank tops, and there’s nothing but sports on all the TVs. If you look […]
Your eyes will get a workout inside this North Phoenix jock joint. Besides its abundance of attractive waitresses and bartenders you’d swear do some modeling, tasteful photos of almost-uncovered derrières hang from the walls. If you prefer to watch sports instead of indulging your voyeuristic tendencies, more than 50 HDTVs are tuned to ESPN, FSN […]
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, […]

Folks have been ambling into this honky-tonk hideout since the ’60s, back when Waylon Jennings was a regular, patrons hitched their horses outside and the place was called Wild Bill’s. Its corner of North Scottsdale has become a bit more ostentatious in the ensuing years (they didn’t have beauty bars or tanning salons back in […]
A chic restaurant, Hanny’s is also a popular downtown drinking destination for after-work drinks and post-game or theater cocktails. Housed in a former department store, the bar nods to the building’s midcentury roots – designer names such as Dior are still displayed on the walls, and you may encounter a classic mannequin – and its […]
Hook into Harold’s Cave Creek Corral, and, sure, you’ll find flatscreens at the bar, live music, a popcorn machine, and some big-time Steelers fans, but there’s also a formal dining room with a fireplace and a hell of a dinner menu. We like the rib-eye steak (a Harold’s favorite) but the marinated pork chops, Atlantic […]
You could drive past this Central Phoenix bar every single day for a year and fail to notice it (and many surely do, situated as it is just off the congested corner of Camelback Road and Seventh Street). What might eventually draw your attention is the sun-bleached sign and vaguely dilapidated Old West-style porch out […]
Nestled in the heart of Avondale, Henry Jack’s has been in the same place, with the same name, since 1935. A big club with the feel of a neighborhood bar, it offers a mix of both worlds. Day drinkers take over the place when the sun is shining, sucking down domestic pints and whittling away […]

This trendy bar hangout has become a national destination for bikers from all over the country-and not just because it’s owned by a motorcycle fanatic. It might be the Famous Hideaway Pizza, a pie that’s known only to ever have been eaten alone on one occasion. It’s great for sharing, is what we’re saying; piled […]
It’s been more than two decades since Hollywood Alley swung open its doors to the public, and since those late-80s days, the iconic club’s stage has hosted sessions by some of the biggest names in the Valley’s recent rock history. From gigs by punk legends the Sun City Girls back in the day, to the […]
