Haus Murphy’s

For more than a quarter-century, this cozy, classic restaurant from chef and owner Brett Hoffman has been dishing out authentic German cuisine in Glendale. (You may have seen it on the Food Network.) Haus Murphy’s is known for its Original Oktoberfest Pretzel, the sausage sampler, juicy bratwursts, house-made sauerkraut, and a variety of schnitzels (including […]

H.B. Hanratty’s Pub

You could drive past this Central Phoenix bar every single day for a year and fail to notice it (and many surely do, situated as it is just off the congested corner of Camelback Road and Seventh Street). What might eventually draw your attention is the sun-bleached sign and vaguely dilapidated Old West-style porch out […]

Henry Jack’s Place

Nestled in the heart of Avondale, Henry Jack’s has been in the same place, with the same name, since 1935. A big club with the feel of a neighborhood bar, it offers a mix of both worlds. Day drinkers take over the place when the sun is shining, sucking down domestic pints and whittling away […]

The Hideaway Grill

This trendy bar hangout has become a national destination for bikers from all over the country-and not just because it’s owned by a motorcycle fanatic. It might be the Famous Hideaway Pizza, a pie that’s known only to ever have been eaten alone on one occasion. It’s great for sharing, is what we’re saying; piled […]

Holgas Gallery

In the mid-2000s this spot in Downtown Phoenix was the place to hear up-and-coming bands play informal front yard shows. Nowadays there’s still plenty of art to be seen at Holgas Gallery but it’s usually not the music genre. It’s an apartment complex for the poor, starving artists types where each living space also doubles […]

Hollywood Alley

It’s been more than two decades since Hollywood Alley swung open its doors to the public, and since those late-80s days, the iconic club’s stage has hosted sessions by some of the biggest names in the Valley’s recent rock history. From gigs by punk legends the Sun City Girls back in the day, to the […]

Hookah Mania

Some people, like superstar chef Anthony Bourdain, for instance, will journey to the ends of the earth for unforgettable Middle Eastern cuisine and culture. All you have to do, on the other hand, is head to the edge of Tempe and the plaza housing Hookah Mania. As its name implies — and the ample supply […]

The Hoot Owl

There’s plenty of charm that awaits at this Glendale dive, for those lucky enough to stumble upon its location in the far corner of a Bell Road strip mall. But once found, however, The Hoot Owl — in business for more than 20 years — rewards with pitchers of domestic beer priced competitively with a […]

Hula’s Modern Tiki

Aloha! Welcome to your vacation destination, smack-dab in the middle of CenPho. Hula’s is known for its inviting patio, island-style eats, and rum-filled tropical cocktails. On chilly nights, set your sights on a spot by the blazing fire pit. Hot enough outside already? Belly up to the sleek, yet still tropical, air-conditioned bar inside. Make […]

Huss Brewing Company

After working at Papago Brewing for 14 years, Leah Huss decided to found Huss Brewing Company with her husband in 2013. The Tempe taproom is offering 24 beers on tap including rotating signature Huss beers. The whole taproom also encourages outside food.

Ice House Tavern

Obvious, but: the Ice House Tavern is cold. Multiple layers of glass separate the bar from AZ Ice Arcadia, the hockey and ice-skating rink it shares space with, but the chilly air finds a way through. During Phoenix summers, of course, it’s a godsend. You can enjoy a domestic or craft beer and fried pickles […]

Icehouse

This multiroom mega-venue in downtown Phoenix has hosted numerous raves and underground dance parties over the past decade. Talented turntablists will spin hardcore and house within its cavernous concrete walls while club kids and glowstick types get their PLUR on and sweat up a storm.

Iguana Mack’s Arizona Roadhouse

It used to be that a roadhouse was a simple oasis of comfort on a long rugged road or trail-a rough-around-the-edges joint that served all of your needs. These great old landmarks are mostly gone, but Iguana Mack’s provides their spirit with a fine selection of cold beer, juicy steaks, and crusty, cut-loose entertainment. A […]
