There are a lot of sports bars on the West side of town, but comfy, approachable Irish pubs? Not so much. Which is exactly why we were so happy to stumble upon Irish Wolfhound Pub in Surprise. The restaurant and bar looks like nothing special from the outside, sure, but walk in and you’ll find […]
The strip malls spread throughout the Arcadia area are some of the most dense in the Valley. They are jam-packed with all sorts of small businesses including JT’s Bar & Grill. Inside the Indian School Road haunt, you’ll find a mix of regulars chatting with the bartenders and groups of friends gathering to watch the […]
Perched on the north side of Camelback Mountain amid the luxurious Sanctuary resort, this lounge is as good as any in the Valley to get that we’re-not-in-Phoenix-anymore feel. The floor-to-ceiling windows provide a prime view overlooking Paradise Valley, and the people-watching view is nearly as good. And, of course, jade is never better during the […]

Robbie Fox’s little brother Johnny is just as much as a happy hour troublemaker as his former older Tempe sib. Half off the entire menu from 3 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday means $3 Jameson shots, $6 shots of Macallan 15-year, and $7 bowls of lamb stew. The public house is full of old-school […]
Jolie Boucher, the namesake matriarch of this Chandler bar and grill, is nothing if not accommodating. She keeps the happy hour prices going all day from

You don’t encounter many Minnesota Vikings bars in Arizona. But Jupe’s, a small, cash-only tavern open since 1982 in west Mesa, is a sea of purple on NFL Sundays, owing to a lineage in bar ownership that stretches back to Fargo, North Dakota. Inside, the bar’s all patchwork wood paneling, period-specific beer signs, framed 8-by-10s […]
The expansive, colorfully lit dance floor at this gay dance club is almost always packed with bodies, whether it’s boys dancing with boys, gals getting down with other gals, or various other combinations. Although the crowd and the music here leans Latino, the welcoming space is home to a diverse crowd during frenzied weekend events, […]
What was once an infamous 1980s bar called the Liguori Lounge is now Kats, perhaps best known these days as the bar where concertgoers from neighboring venue The Rebel Lounge go between sets or when things get too crowded. Inside, you’ll find an all-red-everything color scheme and one of the finest dives in the Valley. […]
A freestanding neighborhood joint just north of Alma School and Broadway roads in Mesa, Kay’s deals cheap drinks and generous pours to a clientele of working-class locals. Once a truck repair shop dating back to the ‘60, this spacious bar keeps to its blue-collar roots with framed photos of souped-up race cars on the walls, […]
Kaz Bar was vino-only from its founding in 2001 until original owner Peter Kasperski closed it 17 years later. Enter restaurateur Tommy Plato of Second Story Liquor Bar fame, who reopened the posh lounge in 2019, adding a focus on rare and distinctive whiskeys and a bespoke supper club atmosphere big on leather and wood. […]

Some things are worth the wait. When we learned that two alumni of Progress would partner with their friends to open what they called a “neo-bistro” and wine bar inspired by their travels around Europe and the U.S., we were intrigued. After facing delays refreshing the former Whyld Ass Cafe on Seventh Street, the wine […]
Welcome to the Valley of the Sun’s future, where phrases like “live-work” and “mixed-use” suddenly-finally!-apply. Completed in 2000, Kierland Commons is the city’s first-ever “lifestyle center,” a 600,000-square-foot Scottsdale development that includes shopping, dining, entertainment, office space and upscale loft condominiums. Originally created to serve as the community gathering place for the master-planned community of […]
With a name like Killer Whale Sex Club, you could be forgiven for assuming this place is just another blink-and-you-miss-it addition to Roosevelt Row’s high-turnover drinking scene. And, honestly, the place takes a little warming up to. For one, reservations are “highly recommended,” per its Instagram. The music inside is incredibly loud. It’s super dark […]
