Baiz Market

Perhaps the best place in the Valley to go for Middle Eastern groceries, this Central Phoenix market features aisles filled spices, olive oils, freshly made pita bread, produce, and meats. As far as non-perishables go, there’s a wide array of compact discs by Middle Eastern musical acts and an impressive selection of hookah pipes and […]

Baker’s Nursery and Gift Shop

Baker’s has been serving the Phoenix and surrounding areas for over 40 years with a wide variety of plants, pottery, statuary, great service, and an excellent location for relaxing and enjoying nature!

The Bakery PHX

The Bakery PHX is not a trendy cupcake shop, though the bright, simple interior and handwritten signage are modern and stylish. It’s also not a traditional spot, as it serves both freshly baked sourdough bread loaves as well as the shop’s take on the Twinkie, which actually looks more like a Ho Ho on the […]

Balkan Bakery

Mornings, in-the-know customers trickle into Balkan Bakery, inhaling the bready fragrance of its tiny room on Bell Road. Some get French-style rolls. Some get rope-like kifli. Some get dark twists of pretzels still hot from the oven. All seem to have an unspoken respect for Jasenko Osmic, the man behind that oven, who bakes, peals, […]

Bar 1

Far from the leather bars, rainbow-flagged saunas and diva-filled discotheques found elsewhere, Bar 1 is casual gay nightlife that still knows how to have fun. Established in 2008, its easygoing, candlelit atmosphere allows patrons to talk in their (gasp!) indoor voices whether relaxing in the lounge seating, playing pinball or unwinding on the outdoor patio. […]

Bar 1912

Behind the restaurant on Seventh Avenue, Valentine’s love letter to Arizona cuisine continues in drink form. The entry of Bar 1912 is marked only by a neon sign that reads “Cocktails.” Inside, Mission revival-style niches behind the bar frame bottles, but the space’s feeling, down to its staff-curated vinyl, is a nod to Japanese listening […]

Bar Bianco

Bar Bianco may be the most and least Phoenix bar. It reaches peak-Phoenix because, if you’re there, you’re likely killing time while waiting to enjoy the pizza that in many ways put the Valley’s culinary scene, and its connection to incredible local ingredients, on the map. At the bar, you can enjoy curated wines, local […]

Bar Smith

Creativity abounds on both floors of this bi-level beatshack located in downtown Phoenix. Bottle-tossing mixologists like Chase Crain show off their furious flairtending skills and whip up handcrafted artisan cocktails at the downstairs bar. Meanwhile, talented turntablists work the wheels of steel from an elevated platform on the rooftop lounge as urbanites and heavenly-looking honeys […]
