After Dos Gringos Trailer Park closed in 2009, college kids and Tempe day drinkers alike were left without one of their favorite spots to grab a bucket of Coronas and a giant burrito first thing in the morning. Thankfully, the drinking gods have blessed them with a brand new drinking hole that’s just as much […]

An oasis of alcoholic bliss tucked away amongst office buildings and industrial parks, Draw 10 beckons to both the white- and blue-collar crowds looking for a drink at lunchtime or after the work day’s done. The large rectangular bar dominates the establishment, ringed with a rainbow selection of illuminated bottles and an equally colorful cross-section […]
Despite the name, this north central Phoenix pub isn’t for Joyce scholars. Here, you’re far more likely to encounter UFC fans shooting Jameson than bookish types sipping Beamish. But that’s not to say the place is lacking in history. Established in 1985 by Seamus McCaffrey (namesake of the popular downtown Phoenix pub), The Dubliner is […]

Don’t judge a book by its cover. The understated exterior hardly does justice to everything that goes on inside, including swing dancing, boxing, and shopping. As far as the drinking goes, The Duce has an impressive selection of old school cocktails as well as few specialties you won’t find anywhere else. The vintage trailer serves […]
If you enjoy watching frolf, there’s not a bad seat on the sprawling patio at Duke’s Sports Bar & Grill, which backs right up to the Vista del Camino Disc Golf Course along the Indian Bend Wash Greenbelt in south Scottsdale. And if you enjoy playing frolf, Duke’s is ideal for a pre- or post-game […]
Since 1950, Durant’s has sat proudly on Central Avenue, its iconic midcentury sign lit up for decades as the city has slowly grown around it. This vibe here is old-school, vaguely Rat Pack-ish: red-leather banquettes, scarlet wallpaper, dim lighting, a back entrance that takes you through the kitchen. (Gangster tales and Hollywood lore abound regarding […]
Easy Tiger is what you might call a modern dive bar. It’s relatively young in the tooth yet feels like its own little time capsule. That’s intentional. The owners of Peoria’s Driftwood Coffee, Lance Linderman and Luke Bentley, set out to create a comfortable neighborhood spot on the west side of town that was reminiscent […]
A magnet for bikers, barflies, and the blue-collar brigade, this rough-around-the-edges roadhouse in south Scottsdale features a nightly cast of characters that are just as colorful as the neon beer signs on its walls. From slick-looking billiards sharks engaging in nine-ball on the tables to the hippies and housewives playing board games around the horseshoe-shaped […]

Along with an ingenious invention called table taps, self-serve beer taps of Coors Light and Dos Equis at each booth, there are a few decent food offerings to go along with the good times in this Mexican-themed bar and restaurant in Scottsdale’s entertainment district. The Sonoran-style menu, created by former Noca sous chef Steven Smith, […]
The Tempe spinoff of this “super macho taqueria” features everything that its sister location in Scottsdale is famous for – from the array of eight signature tacos, Sonoran-inspired “Hefe Hot Dogs,” and potent
Inspired in part by the notorious ’90s-era local music venue of the same name, the Electric Ballroom mashes up rock ‘n’ roll verve with heavy riffs of Scottsdale glam and boozy decadence into its cozy club setting. Photos of guitar gods like Lemmy and Joe Strummer dot the velvet-flecked walls, concert posters and band stickers […]
You’d be hard-pressed to find a single strip club in the Valley that doesn’t feature rock ‘n’ roll blaring as exotic dancers bump and grind away. Elite Cabaret at 910 Live is no exception, as its music mix is heavy on classic jams from the likes of Gary Glitter, Cheap Trick, and The Doors. Thing […]

Enoch’s Sports Lounge is nowhere near as ancient as its Biblical namesake, but the amicably scruffy dive on the edges of Peoria has seen plenty of mileage since opening around two decades ago. Most noticeably, its formerly fire engine-red carpet is now a threadbare salmon from years of the Enoch’s faithful’s feet padding around the […]
Owned by the same lads that operate the Skeptical Chymist, Fibbers is also a popular Irish pub of the traditional bent. Its authenticity extends beyond just having Guinness and Harps on tap and Jameson behind the bar. The place is loaded with Celtic curiosities aplenty — from antique cigarette signs to various and sundry trinkets. […]
