Our cocktail bars will transport you to other dimensions when you board a replica train car, descend steep stairs into a basement filled with agave wonders or head to the rooftops to soar above the city.
A host of bar owners and mixologists are pushing hard to earn Phoenix the reputation of being a true cocktail destination. Local bars are racking up national and international awards, and downtown Phoenix is booming with new, colorful, creative drinking destinations.
More of a craft beer fan? Breweries are popping up around the Valley, some with their second or third locations. Settle in for a cold one in a cozy bungalow, order a flight in Old Town Scottsdale or crush a craft brew after running around the lake in Tempe.
If unpretentious, welcoming and comfortable is more your vibe, the Valley's dive bars don't disappoint. Sip strong drinks under strings of twinkle lights, play some pool and catch the game at destinations sprinkled throughout our desert strip mall sprawl.
