Super Sunday Downtown

Friday, January 27th, 2012

The last time the Giants and Patriots met in the Super Bowl the game was played in our backyard at University of Phoenix Stadium.

Phoenix has to wait until 2015 to host another Super Bowl but this year’s Giants/Patriots rematch can be celebrated at a variety of Downtown restaurants, pubs, bar, lounges, and watering holes.

Coach & Willie’s

One of Downtown’s favorite sports bars is offering a complimentary buffet from 4 p.m. to halftime, food and drink specials, and a chance to win 2 sets of lower-level Rattlers season tickets.

Have a Ball at the Crawl

Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

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).

PubCrawlerInsiderSPOTLIGHTMay’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 Magazines 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.

Change Is In the Air

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

Here it is, the moment we’ve all waited for: the first double-digit temps. Feel free to abandon the a/c and head outside to enjoy Downtown’s balmy fall nights.

Start with drinks at the newly opened ReBar on Roosevelt, which has a big outdoor patio and a nice vibe for relaxing with friends.

Rose&CrownWEBOther options include The Rose and Crown, where you can sip a Guinness on the always-popular porch or lawn; Steve’s Greenhouse Grill, where the misters keep you extra-comfortable; and Seamus McCaffrey’s Irish Pub & Restaurant, which has patio seating and a Publican who really knows his liquor. Ask him to recommend something from the pub’s big selection of draught beer and Irish whisky.

Where can you go from there? Head to Coach & Willie’s for wood-fired pizza on the inviting patio, complete with waterfall, or relax outside at Majerle’s and munch on classic American fare.

Of course, as you probably know, one of Downtown’s most eye-catching outdoor settings is the Arizona Center. Both Sam’s Café and My Big Fat Greek Restaurant face the Center’s gorgeous gardens, water features and cozy benches for canoodling.

Want more that’s outdoor? Sip a White Mocha coffee on the patio at Fair Trade Café, then walk a few steps to Civic Space Park and its green lawns. Relax under the stars while you feel sorry – just briefly –  for the rest of the country, which will soon be dealing with rain and snow.

It’s good to be a Phoenician.

Fourth of July Weekend Part I

Monday, June 28th, 2010

A pool party, baseball games, art walks and drink specials: the Founding Fathers would be proud. At the very least, Ben Franklin, who had a thing for beer and the ladies, would have approved.

So, without further delay, here are some ways to make your Fourth of July weekend take off without a hitch in Downtown Phoenix:

HarenHot dogs and baseball

The D-Backs are battling the Dodgers Friday-Sunday, July 2-4, at Chase Field. Be there Saturday night to catch the fireworks display; it’s a major wow. If you have family or friends in the service, Sunday afternoon is Military Appreciation Day.

First Friday events

By now, our readers are more than familiar with the signature event, Artlink First Fridays, which takes place July 2 from 6-10 p.m. in and around Downtown. [Editor's note: It was recently published that the street closure that has become synonymous with First Friday will go on hiatus for the months of July and August.]

While you’re there, check out First Fridays Latino Style at the Arizona Latino Arts and Culture Center. The event will showcase more than 40 Latino artists in Arizona plus the music of Latin jazz artist Ruth Lara Vichules. The Phoenix Fridas, the Valley’s most popular Latina art collective, invites fans to come by and celebrate the world’s most renowned Latina painter, Frida Kahlo.

Since that’s bound to build up a thirst, head for First Fridays Party on the Patio at Steve’s Greenhouse Grill. Knock back $2 Miller Lite drafts and $3 Stellas while you refuel at the complimentary appetizer bar, open from 6-7 p.m. (Steve’s is open till 1 a.m.)

Get this party started

On Saturday, July 3, Solstice Saturdays, now in its 2nd year, heats up at Bar Smith. Dance till you drop to hip hop or head upstairs for house music until 3 a.m.  No cover before 10 p.m.

On Sunday, July 4, you can cool down at the Hotel San Carlos Adult Swim Party, a rooftop pool party featuring local deejays. Open to anyone 18 and older, the party is from 2-10 p.m. $5 cover charge.

Best place to watch the fireworks

When it comes to views, I’m pretty sure the Compass Arizona Grill is the unchallenged winner. This revolving restaurant, located on the 24th floor of the Hyatt Regency, is the perfect place to see an astonishing, 360-degree view of all the Valley’s fireworks shows.  Special 4th of July seating is from 7-10 p.m., so call 602-440-3166 to make reservations now.

(Editor’s Note: Look for Part II of this post next week!)

Memorial Weekend Is Red, White and Blue All Over

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Ready to show your true colors? Then this is your weekend. Along with some all-American tunes, Downtown Phoenix offers you some pretty surprising ways to see things in red, white and blue.

memorial_dayThe Red

Nothing says “three-day weekend” like a Sunday brunch with a ripe, red Bloody Mary (or two). The Sunday Brunch Buffet at Steve’s Greenhouse Grill offers made-to-order omelets and a Belgian waffle station from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The White

Few places are more romantic than the Arizona Center at night. The reason? The spectacular use of light, especially the small white lights strung across the palm trees in the courtyard. Bring your honey here for a chance to get up-close and personal under the stars.

The Blue

The musicians I grew up with cut their teeth on the blues: Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck. I still love the blues, and if you share that passion, drop by Fat Cats. This small, Downtown club features live blues bands and affordable drinks. Plus, there’s no cover charge. Fat Cats is located at 915 W. Grand Avenue.

And the Whole Shebang

For the true red, white and blue experience, get tickets to see the Phoenix Symphony’s Patriotic Pops performance. You’ll hear the usual suspects, like rousing marches by John Phillips Sousa, plus some unexpected selections, like the score for Victory at Sea. Performances are this Friday and Saturday at Symphony Hall.

Spring Fling Pub Crawl Saturday

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

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:

PubCrawlerInsider2What: 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!

Honor One of Your Favorite Parents

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

You and I get 364 days a year. Mom gets one. In short, the odds aren’t stacked in mom’s favor.

Mothers-DaySo 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.
