Urban Wine Walk Saturday

Tuesday, September 20th, 2011

Join the throng of wine enthusiasts and  urban adventurists who will be rating grapes during Saturday’s Urban Wine Walk.

Wine_Walk2This free event encourages Wine Walkers to ride METRO light rail (just $3.50 for a day pass) between three hubs–Downtown Phoenix, Tempe, and Uptown–to get a taste of the emerging wine and dining scene in our Central City.

You’ll make the jump from novice to wine expert as you sample 2 oz pours on a diverse list of over 50 wines. From deep red Cabernets and Pinot Noirs to sweeter Chardonnays and Rieslings, the Urban Wine Walk has something for all tastes. Pours are priced between $2-$4 and restaurant hosts will provide Wine Walkers with tasty palate-cleansing snacks along the way.

Urban Wine Walk is scheduled to run 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. but don’t be surprised if a thirsty mob arrives at Phoenix Public Market Urban Grocery & Wine Bar early to claim the free gift bags being doled out while supplies last.

logoIn all, 17 bars and restaurants will participate in this event, which is sponsored by the Downtown Phoenix Partnership and Mix 96.9 FM. Downtown restaurants include 1130, The Arrogant Butcher, Brick Pizzeria, ICON, District American Kitchen & Wine Bar, Kincaid’s, Networks, Nobuo at Teeter House, Phoenix Public Market Urban Grocery & Wine Bar, Province, Rose & Crown, Sam’s Café, and Steve’s Greenhouse Grill. Everything a Wine Walker needs, including a full list of participants, maps, plus wine and snack deets, is available at downtownphoenix.com/winewalk.

See you Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Well, this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. you can experience it all when City Circles.com and the Downtown Phoenix Partnership (hey, that’s us!) debut Urban Wine Walk 2010, a light rail-based grape extravaganza that features 11 up-and-coming wine destinations  in Downtown Phoenix, Camelback Corridor and Tempe–including Kincaid’s, 1130 The Restaurant, Majerle’s, Maizie’s, Hula Modern Tiki and Ra!–and over 30 different wines.

This FREE event allows attendees to ride METRO light rail to one or more of the three major stops, exit the train armed with Urban Wine Walk maps and official score sheets , and proceed to a diverse list of participating restaurants serving up priced-right wine samples and palate-cleansing plates of bread, fruit and cheese. 

As a bonus, we’ve teamed up with Arizona Theatre Company to give away 10 pairs of tickets to their upcoming show, Second City Does Arizona or Close But No Saguaro.

Happier Hours

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

In Downtown Phoenix, Happy Hours have multiplied faster than bunnies on Viagra. For anyone on a tight budget – and that’s most of us – Happy Hour equals drinks, dinner and meet-ups, all rolled into one affordable package.

So, without further delay, here’s a listing of some of Downtown’s Happy Hours. You’ll find one – or even two – for nearly every day of the week, with all kinds of drink and appetizer specials included.

happy hourMartini Mondays

Feel like a member of the original Rat Pack at Majerle’s Sports Grill, which hosts this toast to retro drinks. Martinis are only $5 each.

Tough Guy Tuesday

Every Tuesday, from 4 pm to 8 pm, Bud Light drafts are only $1 at 1130 The Restaurant, located inside the Arizona Center. Appetizers are $5 off until 7 pm.

Wild Wing Wednesday

If you like wings, you’ve just hit the jackpot. On Wednesdays, from 5 pm to 11 pm, Network’s Bar & Grill offers a hefty bucket of wings for $10; a huge bucket for $25; and an enormous, bring-all-your-friends-and-family bucket for $50. Plus $1 off signature wine and well drinks.

Pint Night Thursdays

Knock back half-priced draft beer every Thursday at Coach and Willie’s from 4 pm until closing.

Absolut-ly Fridays

I don’t know about you, but I love Absolut Vodka, and you’ll find all Absolut Flavors for only $5 each during Martini Madness at Coach and Willie’s. This special goes on all day and night each Friday.

Monday-Friday Happy Hour at Sam’s Cafe

I’ve always loved the food at Sam’s Café, much to the dismay of my scale. From 3 pm to 7 pm, Sam’s offers Happy Hour Specials in their bar, including $3 house wine, Coyote and Grand Canyon margaritas – huge and exceptionally fine – and all manner of munchies, including $3.50 for grilled nachos, carnitas cheese crisp, Southwest bruschetta and more. For $4.50, you can munch on Tumbleweed chicken and onion rings, jalapeno poppers and fire grilled cheeseburgers.

If you want more happy hours – and who doesn’t – check out the Monday-Friday specials at My Big Fat Greek Restaurant, the Matador, Hooters, District American Kitchen and Wine Bar, Kincaid’s and Steve’s Greenhouse Grill.
