In Arcadia, tucked behind the bright, airy Santo lies the dark, sleek, sultry Pecado. The juxtaposition is intentional, with the two names translating to saint and sin in Spanish. The dual concepts were opened by Roberto Centeno, Nadia Holguin and Armando Hernandez in early 2024, with the drinks program led by beverage director Adrian Galindo. […]
Take me out to the ballgame, indeed. This stunning stadium is on a short list of nationally acclaimed state-of-the-art spring training facilities. There’s hardly a bad seat in the entire ballpark, including those on the grass (although there’s little in the way of shade-desert visitors, beware!). Located in Peoria, right around the corner from Arrowhead […]

Picture this: You’re parked in front of a ginormous HDTV watching football, when, suddenly, as if from the ether, a hottie appears with a Philly cheesesteak and a frosty pint of Modelo Especial.

A video bar, drinkery, and nightspot all rolled into one, Plazma is a quaint hangout for the LGBT community, tucked away just off 16th Street, providing a cool haven to shoot pool, chat over drinks, and even suck down colorful Jello shots from plastic syringes. When the jukebox isn’t bumping out techno or pop diva […]
Not much has changed at Pomeroy’s since it opened in 1983, aside from a COVID-era plexiglass shield surrounding the cocktail fixings at the bar (no more snagging a quick Maraschino cherry). Wood paneling covers most everything, including the front windows. At the bar, mingle with a mix of old-timers and new arrivals while the rapidly […]

The cocktail, natural wine and self-described “shitty beer” bar is from the same team that runs Killer Whale Sex Club, FYPM and Disco Dragon. The muted interiors at Pour Bastards are relatively monochromatic, […]
