Sizzle Korean BBQ

You may be familiar with Korean barbecue, but it’s key to note that things are done a little differently at Sizzle. Yes, you can order assortments of raw meats, and yes, there is a little grill at the center of each table. But here, the servers do the cooking. Sit back, relax and enjoy the […]

SK Lounge

Set among the suburban chain restaurant sprawl that fills much of Surprise and the West Valley is a swanky local cocktail bar that, while seemingly out of place, fills a need for area residents who otherwise would have to drive quite a distance to find something similar. SK Lounge is a neighbor and sister concept […]

Skate Park at McDowell Mountain Ranch Park

At 16,000 square feet, Skate Park at McDowell Mountain Ranch Park is not the biggest skating spot out there, but it’s got the tables, benches, planters, and ledges to keep you entertained, and a bowl that drops down about 10 feet.

Skysill Rooftop Lounge

At 18 floors above the bustle of Mill Avenue, this buzzy spot atop The Westin Tempe flaunts the title of being the highest open-air rooftop bar in the Valley. Order your drink at the bar, the only covered space up there, and stroll around to soak up 360-degree views of downtown Tempe, the iconic A […]

Slices

Some of the best, NY-style, thin-crust pizza in the Valley. The motto is ‘Shut up and eat’ so we’d advise you to do the same. Form follows function when it comes to atmosphere — just tables and stools and windows looking out onto the street. See, in this pizzeria, it’s all about melt-in-your-pie-hole-good triangles of […]
