Some people, like superstar chef Anthony Bourdain, for instance, will journey to the ends of the earth for unforgettable Middle Eastern cuisine and culture. All you have to do, on the other hand, is head to the edge of Tempe and the plaza housing Hookah Mania. As its name implies — and the ample supply […]

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 […]
Aloha! Welcome to your vacation destination, smack-dab in the middle of CenPho. Hula’s is known for its inviting patio, island-style eats, and rum-filled tropical cocktails. On chilly nights, set your sights on a spot by the blazing fire pit. Hot enough outside already? Belly up to the sleek, yet still tropical, air-conditioned bar inside. Make […]

Obvious, but: the Ice House Tavern is cold. Multiple layers of glass separate the bar from AZ Ice Arcadia, the hockey and ice-skating rink it shares space with, but the chilly air finds a way through. During Phoenix summers, of course, it’s a godsend. You can enjoy a domestic or craft beer and fried pickles […]
It used to be that a roadhouse was a simple oasis of comfort on a long rugged road or trail-a rough-around-the-edges joint that served all of your needs. These great old landmarks are mostly gone, but Iguana Mack’s provides their spirit with a fine selection of cold beer, juicy steaks, and crusty, cut-loose entertainment. A […]
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 […]
The strip malls spread throughout the Arcadia area are some of the most dense in the Valley. They are jam-packed with all sorts of small businesses including JT’s Bar & Grill. Inside the Indian School Road haunt, you’ll find a mix of regulars chatting with the bartenders and groups of friends gathering to watch the […]
Perched on the north side of Camelback Mountain amid the luxurious Sanctuary resort, this lounge is as good as any in the Valley to get that we’re-not-in-Phoenix-anymore feel. The floor-to-ceiling windows provide a prime view overlooking Paradise Valley, and the people-watching view is nearly as good. And, of course, jade is never better during the […]

The horseshoe bar has specials throughout the day ($2.50 domestic longnecks every […]

Robbie Fox’s little brother Johnny is just as much as a happy hour troublemaker as his former older Tempe sib. Half off the entire menu from 3 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday means $3 Jameson shots, $6 shots of Macallan 15-year, and $7 bowls of lamb stew. The public house is full of old-school […]
Jolie Boucher, the namesake matriarch of this Chandler bar and grill, is nothing if not accommodating. She keeps the happy hour prices going all day from

You don’t encounter many Minnesota Vikings bars in Arizona. But Jupe’s, a small, cash-only tavern open since 1982 in west Mesa, is a sea of purple on NFL Sundays, owing to a lineage in bar ownership that stretches back to Fargo, North Dakota. Inside, the bar’s all patchwork wood paneling, period-specific beer signs, framed 8-by-10s […]
What was once an infamous 1980s bar called the Liguori Lounge is now Kats, perhaps best known these days as the bar where concertgoers from neighboring venue The Rebel Lounge go between sets or when things get too crowded. Inside, you’ll find an all-red-everything color scheme and one of the finest dives in the Valley. […]
A freestanding neighborhood joint just north of Alma School and Broadway roads in Mesa, Kay’s deals cheap drinks and generous pours to a clientele of working-class locals. Once a truck repair shop dating back to the ‘60, this spacious bar keeps to its blue-collar roots with framed photos of souped-up race cars on the walls, […]
Kaz Bar was vino-only from its founding in 2001 until original owner Peter Kasperski closed it 17 years later. Enter restaurateur Tommy Plato of Second Story Liquor Bar fame, who reopened the posh lounge in 2019, adding a focus on rare and distinctive whiskeys and a bespoke supper club atmosphere big on leather and wood.
