The Top 100 Places to Drink Near Pinnacle Brewing Company
-
Rank 1. Pinnacle Brewing Company
Beer Bar
A craft brewery that actually has TVs everywhere, which sounds obvious until you realize most places that take beer seriously treat a screen like a personal insult. Pinnacle leans into European styles, Czech lagers, English milds, and a marzen that's won real hardware, all rotating through a comfortable taproom with a covered patio. BBQ from a food trailer handles food duty. Sports fans who also care about what's in their glass, this one's for you.

Rank 2. Tell Your Friends
Cocktail Bar
You descend a staircase, walk a red mirrored hallway, and suddenly you're in a velvet-draped, gold-ceilinged cocktail lounge that has absolutely no business existing under a north Scottsdale restaurant. It's a proper speakeasy vibe with live music and bartenders who take their weird seriously, mixing sweet-savory stuff that sounds unhinged on paper and works anyway. Budget accordingly, because the upgrades are real and tempting.

Proof that strip malls contain multitudes, Course is a proper fine dining tasting menu tucked inside what looks like a Scottsdale insurance office. Inside, it's white tablecloths and serious cooking, with a rotating seasonal menu that keeps regulars coming back. The chef earned a James Beard semifinalist nod, which tracks. Dress like you mean it and bring someone you want to impress.

Rank 7. Carry On
Cocktail Bar
A cocktail bar inside a mock 1960s first-class cabin, where the flight attendants check you in, a beverage cart rolls through the aisle, and the "windows" show sky. People show up in vintage fits and take the whole bit very seriously, which somehow makes it better. The cocktails are genuinely great and genuinely pricey, reservations drop weekly and go fast, so treat this like an actual trip: plan ahead, dress up a little, and enjoy the ride.

Rank 8. Platform 18 at Century Grand
Cocktail Bar
A Spirited Award-winning cocktail bar built inside a replica Presidential Pullman train car, Platform 18 commits to the bit fully: wood paneling, digital windows showing rolling landscapes, Prohibition-era drinks, the whole deal. The crowd dresses up a little, leans in, and genuinely plays along. Book a reservation ahead, because showing up without one is a lot like missing your train.

Rank 10. UnderTow
Tiki Cocktail Bar
The whole place is built to feel like the cargo hold of a 19th-century ship, which sounds gimmicky until you're actually sitting inside it, sipping something tropical and elaborate through a porthole view. Phoenix has caught up with the whole immersive-bar thing since UnderTow pioneered it, but this one still does it better than the copycats. The cocktails mix tiki classics with more inventive stuff, and the crowd is mostly people who came for the vibe and stayed for the rum.

Rank 13. Little Rituals
Cocktail Bar
Voted the top hotel bar in the country, Little Rituals sits on the fourth floor of a downtown Marriott and somehow completely transcends that sentence. Push through the beaded curtain into a room of glittering lights and plush chairs where the cocktail menu reads like an illustrated storybook. The crowd is a good mix of hotel guests who got lucky and locals who definitely made a reservation. The bar snacks are serious enough to call it dinner.

Rank 15. Sauvage
Natural Wine Bar
Sauvage is a natural wine bar tucked into a historic cottage off McDowell, the kind of place where the person pouring your glass actually wants to talk about what's in it. The selection leans toward obscure regions and funky bottles you won't find at Total Wine, and the owner is genuinely good at reading what you'll like. Grab a tinned fish snack and let him guide you. The room feels like someone's very cool living room.

Rank 18. Barcoa Agaveria
Mexican Cocktail Bar
Two bars for the price of one, and both are worth your night. Barcoa is a mezcal and agave cantina where the crowd genuinely knows their spirits, not just the ones with pretty labels. Upstairs is lively, with a patio and a food truck parked outside for tacos. Downstairs is darker, quieter, and reservation-only, the kind of basement bar that makes you feel like you discovered something.

Rank 19. The Little Woody
Dive Bar
The Little Woody is a dive bar that can't quite decide what it wants to be, and that's exactly why it works. Red lighting, pool tables, darts, an arcade room, and decent cocktails all coexist without any of it feeling forced. The crowd on weekends is young, loud, and very much here to have a good time well past midnight. Order a specialty cocktail, grab a flatbread, and let someone beat you at darts.

Rank 21. Rough Rider
Cocktail Bar
You take the middle elevator down to the basement of an office building, the doors open, and suddenly it's 1890 and someone mixed you a very good drink. Rough Rider is a genuinely moody speakeasy-style cocktail bar with wood paneling, high ceilings, and candlelit nooks that feel made for people who don't want to be seen. The cocktail list leans Victorian-inspired with a wink, and the kitchen is serious enough to keep you planted for the night.

Rank 22. Gracie's Tax Bar
Beer Bar
A faded pink dive bar in a former tax office, which honestly explains the vibe perfectly. Cheap beers, a jukebox worth fighting over, and a crowd that'll challenge you to Scrabble before the night gets away from you. Later on, the patio turns into a full-on DJ situation, just smokier. They also throw stuffed animal contests and reality TV watch parties, so check Instagram before you go and lower your expectations for productivity the next day.

Rank 26. Kitsune Brewing
Beer Bar
A craft brewery where the sour program is the real draw, and the rotating flavors lean hard into nostalgia, including one that is pastel blue and inspired by a galaxy far, far away. The owner is the kind of guy whose laugh fills the room before he does, which sets the whole vibe. Food trucks rotate through when hunger strikes. Neighborhood regulars mix with hop heads who drove across town for a pint.

Rank 28. Kid Sister
Wine Bar
A neighborhood wine bar on Seventh Street that actually feels like somewhere you'd want to hang out, not just somewhere you'd end up. The menu of small bites and pours changes often, which keeps the regulars coming back and gives first-timers a reason to return. Desert-toned walls, a crowd that ordered without overthinking it, and spritzes that justify the trip on their own.

Rank 33. Killer Whale Sex Club
Cocktail Bar
The name isn't a bluff, but it's not what you think either. This dim, tucked-away cocktail lounge on Roosevelt Row is run by serious mixologists who keep rotating in genuinely interesting new drinks. Look a little closer at the walls, though, and you'll notice the polaroids, all shot right here, all tastefully not-that-tasteful. It gives the whole moody room a wink that somehow makes the experimental cocktails feel even better.

Greenwood Brewing is the antidote to every dark, loud, aggressively masculine taproom you've ever been dragged to. Woman-owned and designed to match, it's all globe lights, brass accents, and airy vibes on Roosevelt Row, with two outdoor courtyards that stay comfortable year-round. The crowd skews creative and friendly, the beer is genuinely good, and you can order food from nearby spots right to your table.

Rank 36. Chilte
Modern Mexican
Modern Mexican in a converted motor hotel on Grand Avenue, and the kitchen's attitude is basically "we don't care," which only makes sense until you taste the food and realize they clearly care a lot. The menu rotates seasonally, the team pulls in guest chefs, and Food and Wine named the chef one of America's best new talents. The crowd skews creative-class Phoenix, the kind of people who'll try a grasshopper quesadilla without being talked into it.

Rank 37. Pretty Penny
International
Roosevelt Row has no shortage of spots, but Pretty Penny is the one that actually feels like an occasion. It's an upscale dinner-out kind of place, forest green and sleek, where you're greeted with a pour of bubbles before you've even looked at the menu. The cocktails are as serious as the food, so don't skip them. The crowd is date-night dressed and ready to spend, which is the right energy for a room this sharp.

Rank 59. Copper Star Coffee
Coffee
A converted gas station in the Melrose District that somehow became the neighborhood's unofficial living room. Copper Star is a laid-back coffee shop open early every day, with a drive-thru for the rushed and a shaded patio for everyone else. The bagels are homemade and genuinely good, and the breakfast sandwiches are the kind of thing you didn't know you needed until you're halfway through one.

Rank 61. Valentine
Sonoran Mexican
A wood-fired all-day cafe in the Melrose District that has turned Arizona sourcing into something close to a religion, and somehow made that feel fun rather than preachy. The room shares space with a vintage furniture store, which tells you everything about the crowd: creative types who dress well without trying. Come for brunch when the menus overlap, and don't skip the attached speakeasy, Bar 1912, hiding in the back.

Rank 81. The Dirty Drummer
Dive Bar
A genuine Phoenix institution that's been around forever, The Dirty Drummer is a dive bar and live music venue where the boots are real and nobody's performing irony. Expect country, honky tonk, and rockabilly most nights, with line dancing that looks intimidating until your third beer. The bar menu runs wings, burgers, and nachos, and happy hour runs weekdays if you're watching your tab. Sports on TV, cold drinks, zero pretension.

Beer Bar
The Valley's oldest gay bar has been around forever, and it shows, in the best possible way. Think grandma's attic crossed with a dive bar crossed with a fever dream: there's a plaster rooster taller than most people you know, a fortune-telling machine, and a miniature Eiffel Tower on the roof. Regulars shoot pool and nurse cheap beers while the decor quietly dares you to ask questions. Come as you are.

Rank 86. Wren House Brewing
Beer Bar
A brewpub that actually feels like someone's house, because it basically is one. The taproom is tiny, the community table makes strangers into friends fast, and the rotating taps give regulars a reason to keep showing up. Bring takeout from nearby or catch a food truck out front. The Spellbinder hazy IPA is the one everyone talks about. Neighborhood crowd, no pretense, plastic dinosaurs on the windowsill.

Rank 90. Casey Moore's Oyster House
Seafood Cocktail Bar
Casey Moore's is a seafood bar and neighborhood hangout that's been around forever, operating out of an old house that may or may not be haunted, which honestly just adds to the vibe. Mill Ave gets all the attention in Tempe, but locals know this is the real spot. Drinks are reasonably priced, the oysters are solid, and the crowd runs from college kids to gray-haired regulars who've been coming since before those college kids were born.

Dive Bar
Finding Valley Bar means following a sketchy alley off Central Avenue while seriously questioning your life choices, but the basement dive waiting at the bottom is absolutely worth the commitment. Cheap beers, cocktails named after Arizona politicians, a dance floor with live DJs, and a back room with skee-ball and shuffleboard keep the crowd loose and loud. The hanging mobile above the bar commemorating a local murderess sets the vibe perfectly.

Cocktail Bar
A pinball arcade and cocktail bar hiding behind a fake freezer door inside a pizza shop, because Phoenix apparently decided subtlety is for other cities. One hard pull and you're in: glowing dance floor, disco ball, machines to lose quarters in. The crowd is wonderfully random, goths and Disney adults and post-concert indie kids all sharing the same floor, which somehow works completely.

Tiki Dive Bar
Phoenix's oldest tiki dive bar has been around forever, and it has absolutely no interest in impressing you, which is exactly why you'll love it. Frosted beer glasses, kitschy tchotchkes behind the bar, pool tables, and a patio for a smoke. Show up on a Tuesday when a DJ spins vinyl and the whole place turns into a dance floor. It's cash only, so hit an ATM first or just stand there looking embarrassed.

The bar staff are genuinely chatty and will walk you through a flight without making you feel like a student.
