Folks have been ambling into this honky-tonk hideout since the ’60s, back when Waylon Jennings was a regular, patrons hitched their horses outside and the place was called Wild Bill’s. Its corner of North Scottsdale has become a bit more ostentatious in the ensuing years (they didn’t have beauty bars or tanning salons back in […]

No downtown bar combines more eclectic, curious influences under one soaring roof. Through most of the 20th century, this was a men’s department store, and the bar has won recognition for keeping many of the original architectural flourishes. Also, it has added some genuinely weird shit. Dip downstairs to check out a clearly haunted basement […]
Hook into Harold’s Cave Creek Corral, and, sure, you’ll find flatscreens at the bar, live music, a popcorn machine, and some big-time Steelers fans, but there’s also a formal dining room with a fireplace and a hell of a dinner menu. We like the rib-eye steak (a Harold’s favorite) but the marinated pork chops, Atlantic […]
You could drive past this Central Phoenix bar every single day for a year and fail to notice it (and many surely do, situated as it is just off the congested corner of Camelback Road and Seventh Street). What might eventually draw your attention is the sun-bleached sign and vaguely dilapidated Old West-style porch out […]
Nestled in the heart of Avondale, Henry Jack’s has been in the same place, with the same name, since 1935. A big club with the feel of a neighborhood bar, it offers a mix of both worlds. Day drinkers take over the place when the sun is shining, sucking down domestic pints and whittling away […]

This trendy bar hangout has become a national destination for bikers from all over the country-and not just because it’s owned by a motorcycle fanatic. It might be the Famous Hideaway Pizza, a pie that’s known only to ever have been eaten alone on one occasion. It’s great for sharing, is what we’re saying; piled […]
It’s been more than two decades since Hollywood Alley swung open its doors to the public, and since those late-80s days, the iconic club’s stage has hosted sessions by some of the biggest names in the Valley’s recent rock history. From gigs by punk legends the Sun City Girls back in the day, to the […]
Some people, like superstar chef Anthony Bourdain, for instance, will journey to the ends of the earth for unforgettable Middle Eastern cuisine and culture. All you have to do, on the other hand, is head to the edge of Tempe and the plaza housing Hookah Mania. As its name implies — and the ample supply […]
There’s plenty of charm that awaits at this Glendale dive, for those lucky enough to stumble upon its location in the far corner of a Bell Road strip mall. But once found, however, The Hoot Owl — in business for more than 20 years — rewards with pitchers of domestic beer priced competitively with a […]

Aloha! Welcome to your vacation destination, smack-dab in the middle of CenPho. Hula’s is known for its inviting patio, island-style eats, and rum-filled tropical cocktails. On chilly nights, set your sights on a spot by the blazing fire pit. Hot enough outside already? Belly up to the sleek, yet still tropical, air-conditioned bar inside. Make […]
After working at Papago Brewing for 14 years, Leah Huss decided to found Huss Brewing Company with her husband in 2013. The Tempe taproom is offering 24 beers on tap including rotating signature Huss beers. The whole taproom also encourages outside food.
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 […]
It used to be that a roadhouse was a simple oasis of comfort on a long rugged road or trail-a rough-around-the-edges joint that served all of your needs. These great old landmarks are mostly gone, but Iguana Mack’s provides their spirit with a fine selection of cold beer, juicy steaks, and crusty, cut-loose entertainment. A […]

We’re just going to say it: The far reaches of the Valley can be lacking in top-quality watering holes. Fortunately for the denizens of Surprise, Irish Wolfhound Restaurant & Pub isn’t a good bar by edge-of-town standards; it’s a genuinely great place to eat, drink and be merry. It’s got all the necessary trappings of […]
The strip malls spread throughout the Arcadia area are some of the most dense in the Valley. They are jam-packed with all sorts of small businesses including JT’s Bar & Grill. Inside the Indian School Road haunt, you’ll find a mix of regulars chatting with the bartenders and groups of friends gathering to watch the […]
There are bars that claim they have extraordinary views, and then there’s Jade Bar. This luxe lounge is located inside Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa, which is perched at the base of Phoenix’s most famous mountain. Just about every booth, club chair and plush leather bar stool is oriented to look out at the […]
Good times are on tap day and night at this Glendale sports bar and neighborhood haunt. Mornings feature hearty free breakfasts ( three eggs, two bacon, two sausages, toast, and hash browns) with the purchase of a beverage from 8 a.m. to noon. The horseshoe bar has specials throughout the day ($2.50 domestic longnecks every […]
