Rum Runner's Bar

This pirate-themed dive in the Sunnyslope neighborhood in north Phoenix opens at 6 a.m., and if you make it there that early, you’re rewarded with a complimentary dish of biscuits and gravy with the purchase of a beverage (there are also burgers, corn dogs, and soft pretzels). This joint is a little more polished than some of its surrounding taverns, but it may have what you’re looking for: drink specials (listed on the wall under the heading “Grogs”), flat-screens, and a snack counter (minimum $5 spent at the bar). Also at Rum Runner's: shuffleboard tournaments, free pool, and pretty great merch: snag a hat or T-shirt sporting the peg-legged, swill-carrying mascot of the bar.
