Casey Moore’s Oyster House
Even if the notorious bar district of Mill Avenue might attract the limelight in Tempe, the true beating heart of one of America’s most complex college towns is Casey Moore’s. This is a classic, dependable neighborhood staple where the food is solid, the drinks are well-priced, no one is out of place and the good times always roll. From college students to seasoned local drinkers, you’ll find anyone and everyone mucking it up at this classic hang. It’s earned a special spot in the Valley’s nightlife ecosystem for its homey vibes, excellent service and unique digs — it’s housed in a 1910 home built by early Tempe settlers, giving it a timeless and potentially haunted feel.
