Tickets are just $15 and parking is free when you validate at the CityScape garage.
Take the kids to see Disney On Ice’s “Toy Story 3″ at US Airways Center Thursday-Sunday. Tickets are $14-$68, which is pretty cheap fare to go to infinity and beyond.

Pub crawlers, prepare. The 4th Annual Fall Pub Crawl is this Saturday, October 23rd, which means you’ve only got a short window to get in shape for Downtown’s very own Saloon Olympics. (Note: Save $3 by buying your tickets in advance.) Main events include bench-pressing beer mugs and fishing those slippery olives out of martinis (high marks for laughing without getting vodka up your nose).
May’s Spring Fling crawl brought together more than 750 people who had a whopping good time (and hopefully, remembered it the next day). Next Saturday’s event will be even bigger, with a record number of pubs participating. Each location will offer drink/food specials exclusive to Pub Crawlers. See below for a full list, but first, here’s a quick look-see at a few of the locations:
Bar Smith – This bar/dance club/restaurant is like the hottest girl at the party: it’s always in demand. Bar Smith has won all kinds of awards for its nightlife and ambience, even making Sunset Magazine’s list for the Top 10 Rooftop Bars nationwide.
Lucky Strike Lanes & Lounge – The first spot from CityScape to join the Crawl. With its sleek, neon-lit interiors and 19 locations around the country, Lucky Strike made bowling cool again. CityScape’s location includes 12 lanes, billiards, two bars and a full menu.
Seamus McCaffrey’s – Fun, cozy pub with patio seating and a Publican who knows his liquor. I love the warm vibe you get here.
Hanny’s – Think “Sex in the City.” Hanny’s is all about big city sophistication, with custom leather booths that recline, a horseshoe-shaped bar and a DJ spinning tunes from a crow’s nest above. Wonderful, personal service, too.
Turf Accountant Irish Pub – Sister pub to Seamus McCaffrey’s, The Turf has a big menu and 12 taps with imported draught beer and ale, plus a great selection of – what else – Irish whiskeys.
If you’ve never been to a Downtown Pub Crawl, here’s the how-to. Once the bars close, you’re invited back to Steve’s Greenhouse Grill for an after-hours breakfast/dance party from 1:30 am till 3 am. (Watch video from May’s post-crawl breakfast here.) A DJ will be spinning tunes and there’s a fabulous breakfast buffet special for only $6.95, including scrambled eggs, bacon, tortillas, fresh fruit, grilled potatoes and coffee.
Bonus round: the Hotel San Carlos is offering discounted room rates of $89 plus tax for Pub Crawlers. This deal includes free valet parking and Sunday morning breakfast at Bistro 202.
Participating locations: Bar Smith, Bentley’s Nightclub, Carly’s Bistro, Coach & Willie’s, District American Kitchen & Wine Bar, Friday Front Row, Ghost Lounge, Hanny’s, Hooters, Kincaid’s Fish, Chops and Steak House, Lucky Strike Lanes & Lounge, Majerle’s Sports Grill, Networks Bar & Grill, Seamus McCaffrey’s Irish Pub, Steve’s Greenhouse Grill, Turf Accountant Irish Pub and The Rose and Crown.

We interrupt this blog post with an important news bulletin: You have one more day to purchase discounted advance tickets to Saturday’s Spring Fling Pub Crawl. ”So what?” you might ask. Fair enough, smart guy, but if you don’t buy your tickets online before midnight Friday you won’t receive $3 off the day-of price of $15 (nor will you get the additional $2 off by entering promo code “2OFF” — wink, wink).
Quick math: If you save $3 or more on your ticket that’s money for at least one additional drink–a drink you could buy to help win the affections of a fine-looking lass or strapping young buck.
The Spring Fling Pub Crawl is a trolley guided tour of 17 bars and restaurants in Downtown Phoenix, including Seamus McCaffrey’s, Coach & Willie’s, Hanny’s, Carly’s, Turf, and newly added Lost Leaf and The Roosevelt. You and a few hundred of your new best friends will experience Downtown’s hiptastic bar scene while enjoying exclusive drink and grub specials along the way. Here’s more of what you’ll need to know:
What: Spring Fling Pub Crawl
Where: Downtown Phoenix
When: Saturday, May 15 with check-in starting at 8:30 p.m.
Who: All peeps 21 or older.
Why: Because we all love talking smart and grooving out with new friends at Downtown haunts holes like BarSmith, The Rose & Crown, Hanny’s, Majerle’s, 1130 The Restaurant, Friday’s Front Row, Stoudemire’s, Kincaid’s, Ghost Lounge, Steve’s Greenhouse Grill and Bentley’s.
How: Easier than saving 15 percent on your auto insurance. Either buy your discounted ticket online or buy night of when you meet up with us outside the Ambassador Information Center (Adams / 1st Ave.) between 8:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. From there, Ollie the Trolley will be whisking us from pub to pub to enjoy exclusive drink and food deals. Once we’ve crawled as far as we can, we’ll all head over to Steve’s Greenhouse for a special late-night breakfast.
See you Saturday!

You and I get 364 days a year. Mom gets one. In short, the odds aren’t stacked in mom’s favor.
So on behalf of moms everywhere, I’d like to suggest giving her the one thing she wants most on Mother’s Day: some time and attention. You’ll find lots of options in Downtown Phoenix that will get her way more jazzed than that card you have your eye on.
Now, go clean your room and wash behind your ears. You have till the count of three.
For Boomer Moms
If your mom grew up with the sounds of the British Invasion, here’s the perfect event. Sunday at 2 p.m., the Phoenix Symphony Pops Series presents “The Beatles & Friends: Sounds of the 60’s.” Besides the Fab Four, the concert will include music from the Beach Boys and the Mamas & The Papas.
Paging Heidi Klum
Fashionista moms should love “Catwalk,” a new production by Scorpius Dance Theatre. Fusing funky local fashions, athleticism and hot choreography, the show is staged on a runway. The last performance is Mother’s Day at Phoenix Theatre’s Little Theatre.
Because She’s a Good Sport
Take her out to the ballgame. Sunday’s showdown at Chase Field between the Diamondbacks and the Milwaukee Brewers starts at 1:10 pm, and all moms will get a Mother’s Day D-signer Tote Bag.
Mom Earned That Mimosa
The Mother’s Day Brunch has become an American tradition, and who are we to argue? To quote The Simpsons, “It’s not quite breakfast, it’s not quite lunch, but it comes with a slice of cantaloupe at the end.”
Kincaid’s is offering a yummy brunch on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Steve’s Greenhouse Grill will feature a made-to-order omelet and Belgian waffle station. For a fabulous view coupled with a lavish buffet, make reservations at the Compass Grill atop the Hyatt Regency.
Happy Mother’s Day, everyone.
Got a date? Text ”ARTS” “FOOD” or “EVENTS” for great ideas!

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.

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.
Martini 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.

The Third Annual Downtown Phoenix Pub Crawl will kick off on Friday, Nov. 13 at Fourth St. and Garfield starting at 9 p.m. and continues up to closing time. Fifteen of Downtown’s finest saloons will be offering music, food specials, wine, spirits, and, of course, hoptastic beers. As someone who is new to Downtown, I can’t wait to mix it up with some friendly faces while checking out Phoenix’s most talked about hot spots.
And this year, Sonoma Casual Dining will be offering a special after-hours breakfast starting a 1:30 a.m–a perfect opportunity to recap the revelry with new friends and soak up the evening’s, um, experiences. A fleet of trolleys will transport teams to their respective pubs and team leaders will be on hand to answer questions and make sure the crawling continues on schedule. You can purchase discounted Pub Crawl tickets here until midnight Friday. In terms of value, you aren’t going to find a better bargain than a buck a bar, am I right?
Want a nice place to crash? The San Carlos Hotel is offering special discounted rooms to Pub Crawlers. Go to www.hotelsancarlos.com and enter in the code “DPUB.”
Electronically flip through photos from the 2008 Pub Crawl on Flickr.
Can’t wait to crawl with you all this Friday!
