Zipps Sports Grill

True, Zipps is a sports bar, with TVs in every direction you turn, but it’s a tasteful one, with old fashioned patterned tin wall panels, exposed brick, and cherry wood accents. Better yet the big game isn’t the only reason to come here. Even when there’s nothing to watch, we’re happy digging in to Zipps’ […]

Zipps Sports Grill

Zipps’ Arcadia location boasts a large selection of bites and brews and a sizable outdoor patio tricked out with misters, gas heaters, a fire pit, and, of course, plenty of TVs. Situated in the same Gaslight Square strip mall that hosts the Dilly Dally and Darwin’s, this particular Zipps is a favorite for neighborhood bar-hoppers. […]

Zoan

Previously known as zGirl Club — as well as Misty’s, Desert Rose, and Talk of the Town before that — this after-dark destination in the heart of the Melrose District gay epicenter as one of the longest-running lesbian bar establishments in the Valley. Under its current existence as Zoan, it always seems to be crammed […]

Zoe’s Kitchen

This popular lunch spot looks like a cozy, uptown art gallery-but we know of no art gallery that serves a chicken and slaw pita as good as Zoe’s. We’re also fans of the Z-Chef Salad, an assemblage of turkey, ham, Swiss and American cheeses, tomato, egg and cucumber served on a bed of lettuce with […]

Zuma Grill

Clustered near popular Mill Avenue hangouts Mill Cue Club and Fat Tuesday, the tiny Zuma Grill draws in countless college co-eds and serves as both a noshery and nightspot. Most of the day, it’s a laidback lunch and dinner spot offering American pub eats. After 10 p.m., however, it becomes a den of dancing and […]

Zur Kate

Everything in Zur Kate has a German flair, not just the authentic cuisine. The walls are covered with paintings, flags, and other memorabilia from the Old Country, and there’s always German music, whether on the stereo or from a live band. Expect a selection of imported German beer on tap for pretty good prices.

ZuZu at Hotel Valley Ho

If Scottsdale had a couple more Hos like this one, it might be on its way to outclassing La-La Land. The hotel is pure George Jetson-Googie-midcentury swank, a cherry spot, with the kind of finger-poppin’ pizzazz that cost $80 million to re-create. Ho’s Cafe ZuZu aims to put you in the way-back machine, with nostalgic […]
