At this Gledale sports facility, the owners have transformed what used to be an outdoor hockey rink into an outdoor arena with artificial turf, lighting and bleachers.

Action at this outdoor playland includes Arizona’s largest roller coaster, plus miniature-golf courses, a log ride and video games galore.
Phoenix’s Catch 22 does a little bit of everything. The best category for this place is “sports bar” – they have 28 flatscreen TVs tuned to the big games and a nice selection of tap beers – but the proprietors go the extra mile in a few different directions. Patrons can shoot a little stick […]

Standing out from its more milquetoast neighbors at an otherwise unremarkable North Phoenix shopping center, the red neon sign of Centerfold’s Cabaret beckons the curious through its wrought iron doors with suggestive temptations of scandalous thrills and near-naked delights.

Featuring the hard-to-find cuisine of Chettinad, a dry, remote region of the state of Tamil Nadu in southern India, this decidedly grand restaurant on the city’s west side offers many of the region’s meat-centric, highly fragrant, and abundantly spiced food (even to the southern Indian palate) as well as around 200 dishes from both northern […]

An offer you can’t refuse: traditional, English-style fish-and-chips shop run by British expats, serving cod, haddock, halibut, and salmon with thick, house-cut chips. Monday is all-you-can-eat night, and worth the drive. Also worth the drive are the steak-and-kidney and chicken-and-mushroom pies, as well as the pineapple fritters (fried pineapple rings). Makes for a perfect palate-cleanser. […]
Like North Phoenix itself, Connolly’s Sports Grill might leave you with the subconscious urge to stretch out a little. It’s not that it’s big, just more open than you might be used to – an airy outparcel made artificially sports-bar-dark with blackout curtains.
