Things tend to get wilder, […]
From the outside, Shady’s may look like one of the old residences located along Indian School Road in east Phoenix, but inside, it’s a small pub and lounge with British flair. Its intimate, living room-like interior is full of stylish touches: black leather booths and chairs, a fireplace stocked with candles and caricatures of Ernest […]

The space is compact, with barstools making up a majority of the seating and a handful of comically small leather booths rounding it out. Sidecar’s newest menu is an accordion, folded into a collage of creative cocktails with handwritten descriptions. […]
It’s a shame that the Silver Pony doesn’t have any windows. The country-tinged dive bar in South Phoenix boasts excellent views of South Mountain from the parking lot, but in exchange for some scenery, patrons get a watering hole that feels like a home away from home. What kind of home? The kind where the […]
This slow-to-catch-on coffee house and eatery gets its caffeinated drinks from Cartel coffee and its menu from chef Payton Curry, who has created a small list of breakfast and lunch items as well as a daily selection of pastries. Sandwiches include a BLT, chicken salad, and an Italian grinder; a hummus plate and several salads […]

When you walk into Spirit House, remember that it was once neighboring SanTan Brewing Co,’s junk drawer. Not a drawer, exactly – more like a side room where SanTan folks stored random items such as old kegs, glassware and kitchen stuff. They’ve since converted it into a 49-seat cocktail lounge that’s proven popular among the […]

If the gay agenda includes more bars like Stacy’s, you can understand why conservatives feel so threatened: It’s a blast in here. Sundays are for drag brunch, Mondays are for karaoke, Wednesdays for gothed-out dance parties, and Fridays are for — well, more drag and more dancing. You’ll also find a grab-bag of the sort […]
With a name like Stadium Club, it shouldn’t be surprising that the focus of this Chandler joint is all about athletic exploits.

Situated just below the […]
