The Ostrich is located behind a wooden door at the bottom of a stairwell around the corner from Crust Chandler. The name of this basement bar could suggest an ostrich burying its head in the ground, but actually, this was the room where ostrich feathers were stored by city founder Dr. A.J. Chandler himself. A […]
A visit to Outrider Rooftop Lounge feels like a cheat. Surely you have to be a hotel guest at the Canopy Scottsdale Old Town Hotel or at least a tourist visiting Scottsdale to access this rooftop bar, right? Wrong. The high-flying bar, complete with lounge chairs, fire pits and impressive views of Camelback Mountain, is […]
Tucked behind a Circle K just off 32nd Street north of Thomas Road, this ramshackle neighborhood tavern might be a little hard to locate, but is totally worth hunting for since the Ox kinda rocks. The blue collar crowd picks this joint as the meeting place to play darts, as evidenced by its six different […]
Don’t let the “padre” in its moniker fool you, as the only thing remotely Hispanic about the place are the nachos on the menu. (Truth be told, it’s named for an Irish Catholic priest that owner Tom Boyle has known since childhood). Although its name might be a bit misleading, Padre Murphy’s is about as […]

A perplexing question is, “What’s the crowd like at Palo Verde Lounge?” All kinds park themselves at this dark, cash-only Tempe bar: construction workers in hi-vis gear at a prolonged happy hour, weekly regulars from the neighborhood, new drinkers from nearby ASU. Like the clientele, the atmosphere can be hard to predict. Some nights you […]
When you walk through the door of this casual neighborhood brewpub, located among the many shops and eateries of Papago Plaza, you’ll be greeted by a larger-than-life-sized statue of a portly, jolly monk. If you love beer – especially beer from Belgium, where monks make the good stuff – you should take that as a […]

Pat O’s puts the “G” in the Melrose District’s LGBTQ scene. Its clientele is largely gay men, many of whom are unabashedly members or fans of the bear or leathermen subcultures. Former owner and namesake Pat Olivo – a fixture in the local gay scene for decades – died in March 2022, but his bar […]
Patties First Avenue Lounge is the ratty dive among the restaurants, cocktail lounges, and other tourist traps of Old Town Scottsdale. We mean that in the best way possible. Pattie’s has been open since 1992, and its regulars range from millionaires to spring training visitors to bachelorette party attendees to old timers who’ve been coming […]
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. Finished wiping the drool off your keyboard? You’re probably thinking that no such magical Shangri-La actually exists but it does, and it’s […]
