Drinks & Nightlife

This is a classic Tempe dive bar very well known by locals. Go for the low-key atmosphere, great wings, and the drink specials.

Voted one of the best breweries in the US. This is usually my go-to for after work drinks. The beers are constantly changing depending on the season. I personally love the sours but they are all worth a try!

Food Scene

This is one of my favorite places to go for brunch mainly because of the location. The service is ok, food is normal, but the atmosphere on the patio with a group of friends is great! Nice place for sunset drinks as well.

One of my favorite breakfast spots in Arizona. I always swear I'm going to try something new and always end up getting the same thing- the elevated egg sandwich.

Parks & Nature

I love Papago Park because you get the feel of being in nature while surrounded by the city. One of my favorite things to do is to climb Hole in the Rock at sunset which has a fantastic (and free) view of Phoenix. There's also easy trails and picnic areas.
