Enoch’s Sports Lounge

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 […]

Fear Farm

Spread over a dozen or so buildings of various sizes and 25 acres of cornfield, this attraction will give you a full night of entertainment. The old-school haunted house is well worth the drive from wherever you’re coming from since, unlike most other haunted houses these days, Fear Farm is almost 100 percent real people […]

Federico’s Bar & Pool Hall

This south Phoenix watering hole might seem a little grubby around the edges, gringo, but after dark it becomes a pretty happening little Latin nightspot. Throngs of rancheros, vatos, and chicas from around the Valley pack themselves into this noisy joint during the weekends to play billiards on its many pool tables, and listen to […]

Fibber Magees

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. […]

FilmBar

FilmBar doesn’t just have the lock down on the hippest indie and foreign film screenings. The theater’s lounge is a fully functioning bar, featuring DJs, live music and a carefully selected menu of import and domestic beers. Standard brews have no place in the bar, which favors full bodied dark beers and tasty pints of […]

Floor 13 Rooftop Bar

For a big-city feel and views filled with towering skyscrapers, head to the top of the Hilton Garden Inn Downtown Phoenix hotel. Here, a small indoor bar opens onto a spacious alfresco sundeck. Warning, this spot isn’t for those with acrophobia. You’re up high and surrounded by dizzying drop-off views. It also can be gusty […]

Fort McDowell Casino

With 23 different games of keno running every five minutes (including the super-competitive Speed Keno, where guests play 100 games for ten cents apiece, all at once-really!), it’s no wonder this is every small-time gambler’s favorite haunt. Fort McDowell Casino’s state-of-the-art bingo hall is a player’s paradise, what with its spacious smoking and non-smoking areas, […]

Four Peaks Brewing Company

Arizona’s largest brewery, Four Peaks Brewing Co. has been serving craft beer and upscale pub fare in a late-19th century, Mission-style Tempe warehouse since 1996. Yes, there are other locations, and yes, Anheuser-Busch InBev acquired the brewing company in 2015, but the 8th Street Pub remains a totally Tempe institution (and is said to be […]
