A mash-up of a sub shop and a pop culture museum, this fun little neighborhood eatery has been a favorite with Phoenix locals for more than 30 years. From advertising icons to oversize household items to hundreds of nearly-naughty bumper stickers and customer photos covering every square inch of space, the d
Next to the entrance of the uptown location of Hula’s Modern Tiki, there’s a second door hiding in plain sight. It looks to be an employee entrance or maybe a storage room. But inside, you’ll find a dark space serving bright cocktails. Tiki drinks in shades of pink and blue come adorned with purple orchids […]
For 15 years, diners have been lining up to order salads and sandwiches at Carla Wade Logan’s café on Roosevelt Street. But the cocktails here are first-rate, too. The Prickly Pear Margarita is hot pink and ice-cold, a must-try for visitors to the desert or those just bar-hopping on a hot day. The Whiskey Sangria […]
This Central Phoenix coffee house – located in a vintage 1940s house on Camelback Road in Arcadia – is a favorite for its warm, cozy interior, interesting artwork, and freshly brewed java (using Lux beans). But what has us returning again and again is the full menu of breakfast and lunch items. Carmel’s Coffee and […]

This south Phoenix staple is a true come-as-you-are restaurant. It is almost shockingly bare-bones. There’s no decor on the paint-chipped walls, no music.

A second location of this legendary Valley restaurant, Carolina’s has a cult following for its out-of-this-world homemade tortillas. Folks line up to gorge on green corn tamales, enchiladas, red machaca burros and, on weekends, menudo. Breakfast burros are another delicious treat.
Phoenix’s hottest flight isn’t departing from Sky Harbor. Instead, people are lining up, sometimes dressed in vintage togs, to get a seat at Carry On. The immersive cocktail lounge is modeled after the first-class experience of a Mad Men-era flight, complete with martini service. Once flight attendants check you in, you’re whisked aboard the 1970s-inspired […]
If you live in Phoenix and haven’t heard of Cartel Coffee Lab, you’ve probably been living under a Starbucks-shaped rock. Or maybe you just don’t drink java. This local coffee roaster is the best known in the caf
The salsa bar at Casa Corazon in central Phoenix is a thing of beauty.

Don’t leave without […]
