NachoBot

Nearly a next-door neighbor to Jobot Coffee Shop and with the same vibe, this simple but hip little house turned eatery off Roosevelt Row from Jobot owner John Sagasta features chips with gourmet toppings and, like Jobot, offers late-night hours – staying open until midnight on weekdays and until 4 a.m. on weekends. With a […]

Ice House Tavern

Obvious, but: the Ice House Tavern is cold. Multiple layers of glass separate the bar from AZ Ice Arcadia, the hockey and ice-skating rink it shares space with, but the chilly air finds a way through. During Phoenix summers, of course, it’s a godsend. You can enjoy a domestic or craft beer and fried pickles […]

Humble Pie

The distinctive pies at this bustling pizzeria have a crisp, chewy crust and unique toppings (shrimp with burrata, basil, and lemon zest; potato and roasted garlic with fontina, gorgonzola, and rosemary) that we can’t get enough of.

At the bar, you can enjoy curated wines, local […]

There’s hardly a bad seat in the entire ballpark, including those on the grass (although there’s little in the way of shade-desert visitors, beware!). Located in Peoria, right around the corner from Arrowhead […]

Lucky Break

There are plenty of reasons to cruise into this swank South Tempe sports bar and billiards haven to grab a drink or catch the game. First off, you won’t find just any old ramshackle pool tables inside the place, as it’s stocked with six gleaming, high-end Spencer Marston tables made from solid hardwood. Sharks and […]
