Showing 89 - 110 of 385When the weather’s hot almost year-round, adding a swimming pool to a bar makes perfect sense. That’s exactly what the proprietors of Geisha A Go Go and Spanish Fly thought when they opened El Santo Cantina y Mas in Scottsdale. The spot features a 2,800 sq. ft. pool, a plethora of chic VIP cabanas, a […]
Yes, the intersection of Scottsdale Road and Shea Boulevard is just that – an intersection – but it’s also a classic Valley drinking and dining destination, and a history lesson as much as it is a dining district. So, let’s dive in – and that first dive is Ernie’s Restaurant and Bar. This family-owned sports […]
