It can be easy to miss F.Y.P.M., the cocktail lounge tucked into Roosevelt Row’s Disco Dragon. But once inside, you may wonder how you ever skipped over the omnipresent glow of electric pink neon. The bar’s name is shorthand for “Fuck you, pay me,” a reference to the movie “Goodfellas,” and the phrase is emblazoned […]

Gabby’s Sports Bar & Grill has been around since 1983 along the Old 87, and over the years, this neighborhood spot has stuck to its roadhouse-style roots. Expect karaoke nights, a lively patio, TVs and two pool tables. There’s even a menu of fried bar food. If you’re looking for a full meal, go with […]
There is a special charm to Garden Bar in downtown Phoenix. Step inside the converted 1914 bungalow and history washes over you. Sure, the decor has been updated beautifully, but the many memories that this house holds still shine through. Owner Kim Haasarud invites guests to roam from room to room in the dim but […]
From capsule-like private karaoke rooms, to high-tech Toto toilets, to cartoonishly cute waitresses who look like they hang out in Harajuku, Geisha A Go Go brings trendy Japanese kitsch to Old Town. The menu runs the gamut from dumplings and hot rock dishes to seafood entrees, and while it won’t satisfy your craving for traditional […]
Phoenix’s first English pub lives up to its pedigree: Portraits of Queen Elizabeth, photos of Buckingham Palace and other UK-related ephemera adorn every nook and cranny. Footy matches air on TVs above the bar, which is surrounded by jerseys and flags of beloved teams. And traditional selections like bangers and mash, pasties, and fish and […]

Mezcal and tequila fans, Ghost Donkey is your utopia. Boasting a lengthy menu of both agave-based spirits, this Mexico-inspired bar balances a darkly lit space with a canopy of string lights overhead, making for a kiss-of-disco party feel. Grab a bar seat or sit back and chill at any of the cozy booths on the […]
Subtlety has never been Giligin’s style. (Hell, it’s never been Scottsdale’s style.) This island-themed bar has gleefully gone all-out pushing the boundaries of good taste and staging lowbrow gags since its debut in 1995. (Case in point: Prior to the pandemic, it had a pint-sized “midget bar” staffed by little people.) Giligin’s embraces its over-the-top […]
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. […]

This faded pink building off busy Seventh Avenue may look inconspicuous from the outside, but once you’re past the beat-up black door, cheap beers, great music and good times await. Gracie’s Tax Bar has occupied the former downtown Phoenix tax office since 2017. Inside, bar-goers can grab $6 mini pitchers of Gracie’s Tax beer for […]
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, […]
