St. Francis

Chef-owner Aaron Chamberlin hired Wendell Burnette Architects to overhaul this early 50s Harold Ekman building, and the final result is stunningly cool. Sit on the patio, sip a refreshing Sunny & Dry cocktail, and dig in to comforting contemporary American cuisine, from crisp, puffy flatbread with black Mission figs, to fragrant seafood stew. And thankfully, […]

Stand Up Live

Comedy and cocktails are classic combination. Depending on the night’s talent, sometimes you want a drink and sometimes you need a drink. But considering the host of big names at CityScape’s Stand Up Live, you’ll probably go with the former. Owned by next door live music purveyors Copper Blues, Stand Up Live takes a cue […]

The Stand

The Stand Burgers & Tacos takes In-N-Out Burger’s keep-it-simple philosophy, and adds Arcadia flair by making the burger more upscale (and more expensive) and putting tacos on the menu. While some of the items are forgettable, most of the menu is so satisfying that you may soon be a regular if you live in the […]

Standard Restaurant Supply

Sure, chefs and restaurateurs come to this no-frills warehouse for fridges, ice-makers, china caps and cooking pots (sized to feed a small nation), but non-professionals are welcome to browse the cavernous place as well, stocked with loads of kitchen basics (whisks, colanders, mixing bowls), plain dinnerware and glass-ware at good prices. On any given day, […]

Stardust Pinbar

Stardust Pinbar co-owner Ariel Bracamonte had one goal for the David Bowie-inspired pinball lounge he opened in 2019 next to the The Van Buren in downtown Phoenix: He wanted it to be big on fun – or, to paraphrase the late pop/rock icon as Ziggy Stardust, he promised it wouldn’t be boring. Mixing Bowie-esque glam […]

Starving Artist

When O.S.H.O. Brewing + Distillery took over the former location and brewing operations of Helton Brewing Co., the team opted to reimagine the space and create a neighborhood tavern that specializes in cocktails and globally inspired bites. The bar is vibrant and eclectic, with red lampshades, toile wallpaper, loungey leather couches and classic paintings refreshed […]
