Garage-East

Garage-East isn’t a bar in the traditional sense, but it is the perfect spot to sip away the afternoon. Located in the Barnone collection of shops at Agritopia, this wood-paneled bar serves wines by the glass to enjoy inside or on the Italy-meets-Gilbert-farm-style patio. And you won’t find these wines at any other bar. Garage-East […]

Garcia’s Las Avenidas

Although the Garcia family no longer owns and operates the ubiquitous Garcia’s restaurant chain, you can still get a taste of the clan’s popular homestyle recipes at The Original Garcia’s Las Avenidas, founded in 1956. This sprawling eatery is done up like a festive old hacienda, making it a prime spot for people-watching, knocking back […]

Gecko Grill

Gringo-friendly, Sonoran-style Mexican food takes center stage at this cozy, pink-hued cafe. And it’s good stuff, particularly the chips, bean dip, spinach enchiladas and tampique

Geisha A Go Go

From capsule-like private karaoke rooms, to high-tech Toto toilets, to cartoonishly cute waitresses who look like they hang out in Harajuku, Geisha A Go Go brings trendy Japanese kitsch to Old Town. The menu runs the gamut from dumplings and hot rock dishes to seafood entrees, and while it won’t satisfy your craving for traditional […]

The Gelato Spot

Located right beside Hava Java, you’ll see more babes here than at a casting call for The OC, and they’re all eating that Italian “ice cream” known as gelato. Smart gals. Gelato has less fat, and a smoother, denser consistency than our ice cream, which means your butt won’t get too big eating all 36 […]

Genbu Waffles

This pop-up (now storefront) debuted at the 2018 PHX Night Market. Part of what puts Genbu Waffles a cut above is its sourcing of local and organic ingredients. But there are also some impressive combinations on this menu. For the matcha-obsessed, try the Matcha Green Serpent – matcha waffles, two scoops of ice cream, a […]

Geordie’s at Wrigley Mansion

Many of the Valley’s finest restaurants are hidden among the suites of strip malls or inside concentrated dining hubs. Not Geordie’s. Guests dine at one of Phoenix’s most stunning and historic sites: Wrigley Mansion, the 1932-built home of chewing gum tycoon William Wrigley Jr. At Geordie’s, the extensive wine list offers more than 12,000 bottles. […]

George & Dragon: An English Pub

Phoenix’s first English pub lives up to its pedigree: Portraits of Queen Elizabeth, photos of Buckingham Palace and other UK-related ephemera adorn every nook and cranny. Footy matches air on TVs above the bar, which is surrounded by jerseys and flags of beloved teams. And traditional selections like bangers and mash, pasties, and fish and […]

George & Son’s Asian Cuisine

Although primarily Chinese, the menu here throws us for a delicious loop with influences from Thailand, Vietnam, Burma and Singapore, too. Everything is excellent, with light and clean sauces and more flavor than you imagined typical pork with eggplant could offer. Do not miss George’s seafood pocket or a soul-stirring tom yum soup.

George’s Famous Gyros

There are a number of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern restaurants in metro Phoenix that will serve you a gyro, but we bet it won’t be anywhere near as good as the one you’ll get at George’s Famous Gyros in Scottsdale. After all, gyros are the restaurant’s specialty, and as a first-generation Greek from Chicago, owner […]

Gertrude’s

It may be an old-fashioned name, but at the Desert Botanical Garden, founded by visionary environmentalist Gertrude Divine Webster in 1939, “Gertrude” has a decidedly modern ring to it. Gertrude’s offers a seasonally inspired menu served in the form of a four-course dinner. There’s also a killer patio, an impressive wine list, and and maybe […]
