Things behind the bar at this East Phoenix gem, open since 1972, may include: an aquarium, two air fryers, an old steel contraption that splits a lime into several slices all at once, little bags of chips, a sign that changes every shift to let you know who’s in charge (“CHERI BAR RULES”), Advil, Tums, […]

The Wayward Taphouse arrived during the COVID era, a time when Phoenix was in great need of patios. The outdoor seating here seems to have been arranged with care. There are good sun and shade options, the space is outside food- and dog-friendly, and it’s surrounded by the casitas (which many know were once prisoner-of-war […]
This well-loved south Scottsdale dive carries none of the pretension of the cocktail parlors and clubs occupying the same stretch of road further north. The music is loud; happy hour participants will have to shout over whatever live Phish jam is playing to argue about their sports. There’s also a sunny, spacious, dog-friendly patio, which […]
Located on a stretch of Fifth Avenue near Indian School Road, the sleek little country music joint perched at the edge of Old Town comes courtesy of Tucker Woodbury (The Vig bars and The Little Woody tavern in East Phoenix) and Stateside Presents promoter Charlie Levy. A kind of honky-tonk version of the Crescent Ballroom, […]
As the adage goes, you can’t judge a book by its cover. And that’s most certainly the case with this Glendale haunt. Though its stucco exterior may seem sparse, with only a faded sign announcing its presence, its vibrant interior is rich with both color and character. For the past 10 years, owner Les Hestand’s […]
Lots of bars try to pass themselves off as “friendly,” but how many places are cool with customers’ pooches scampering about? Saying Westwood Tap is a “welcoming” place is an understatement when you see a schnauzer cruising past the cocktail waitress slinging drinks. Doggies aren’t the last of Westwood’s charms: A vending machine glows in […]

What the Hell Bar and Grill is not the kind of place found often in the Valley. In the heart of Apache Junction, it’s an establishment that probably hasn’t changed a bit since the day it opened. Patrons can enjoy poker and shoot pool, sing karaoke two nights a week, and rock out to live […]
The Whining Pig has amassed a mini-empire of craft beer and wine bars across the Valley. But we’re partial to stopping into the downtown location for a brew before catching a concert or game. Chalkboard-painted walls, funky lights and the voluminous list of hundreds of craft beers and wines available for purchase all add to […]
Shrouded in an aura of exclusivity and mystery, Wild Knight has been proven to be popular amongst ultra-stylish and well-heeled VIP types since it’s opening in June. The clandestine club provides the bottle-service crowd with ingenious perks (such as private drawers underneath seating for their valuables), exquisite cocktails, and a sanctuary from the rest of […]
If you’ve been to Postino – either the original in Arcadia or the wine bar’s Central Avenue location – then you have a good idea of what this latest venture from restaurateurs Craig DeMarco and Lauren Bailey has in store. With a come-hither list of craft beers, wines, and cocktails, and a menu of upscale […]

Churchill’s Fine Cigars seeks to bring a taste of luxury to its east Phoenix strip mall locale – and it succeeds. Note the array of stately leather chairs as you walk in. But it’s hard to imagine a fine cigar without a decent drink, though, and as such the entire south wall of Winston’s, the […]
The Womack takes its cues from Phoenix’s past, paying tribute to one of the city’s most famed cocktail parlors. Opened in 2016 by local restaurateur Tucker Woodbury in the heart of Seventh Street’s upscale restaurant district, it’s a stylish homage to downtown’s long-defunct Chez Nous lounge, mimicking the layout, ambiance and swanky look, right down […]
Valley sports stars of yesteryear live on at this Mesa tavern, which is like a museum of sorts dedicated to hometown heroes. Framed vintage photos of such luminaries as Frank Kush, Alvan Adams, and Dick Van Arsdale cover its wood-paneled walls from floor to ceiling. Maroon and gold fever also flows throughout the place, as […]
World’s greatest amusement park? Not quite, but it’s close. At World of Beer, it’s easy for brewing enthusiasts to fall head over heels for hop knots, IPAs, wheats, whites, and everything in between. That’s because the Tempe restaurant, located in the heart of the Mill Avenue District, keeps its ale available by offering more than […]
