The nondescript pub, which is tucked in a strip mall off Scottsdale Road, is popular with the tattooed-and-pierced hipster crowd. Kona Grill in Chandler a place for the in crowd http://www.getoutaz.com/story/3689 When it comes to nightlife at Chandler Fashion Center, Kona Grill is where it's at. The hip bar, which is attached to the mall by the food court, is packed on an early evening during happy hour. Mesa's Salty Senorita is cooler than Old Town Scottsdale's http://www.getoutaz.com/story/3668 It's not often Mesa beats Old Town Scottsdale in cool points, but when it comes to the Salty Senorita, Mesa wins hands down. Parking isn't a challenge like it is in downtown Scottsdale. And the patio is a lot larger, making it easier to maneuver around the bar. Improv troupes making it up as they go http://www.getoutaz.com/story/3661 With the National Comedy Theatre opening in Mesa and theseventh annual Phoenix Improv Festival coming this weekend, we can't help but notice: Improv is thriving in the Valley. Casey Moore's has a piece of our heart thanks to its eclectic scene http://www.getoutaz.com/story/3658 Casey Moore's is the anti-Scottsdale bar: warm, cozy and filled with friendly people, many who seem to be well-acquainted, nightly. You're sure to run into someone you know at this "Cheers"-like bar, where the bartenders will remember you and your drink of choice. Karaoke cool at Scottsdale's Geisha A Go Go http://www.getoutaz.com/story/3640 Karaoke night finds 22-year-olds Ashley Grobmeier of Scottsdale and Lauren Almeter of Tempe tackling a Madonna classic, but their rendition of "Like a Virgin" isn't for everyone. That's because not everyone can hear them - only six other friends, all celebrating a birthday inside a private karaoke room at Geisha a Go Go, the Asian-themed nightclub than opened last month in downtown Scottsdale. Will Lyte Lounge & Bistro survive curse of its location? http://www.getoutaz.com/story/3625 Given the track record of the night spots that have opened (and closed) at 7419 E. Indian Plaza in Scottsdale - remember NV Lounge, anyone? Blue Note Cellars? Elixir? - Lyte Lounge & Bistro is taking a big chance opening in the same site. E.V. pubs, restaurants turn go green for St. Patrick's Day http://www.getoutaz.com/story/3594 St. Patrick's Day is the biggest one of the year for Casey Moore's. Last year the Tempe patio bar went through 20 kegs of green beer and 700 pounds of corned beef and cabbage, says co-owner Gavin Rutledge, who dresses like a leprechaun for the holiday each year. Phase 54 is a hidden find in south Tempe http://www.getoutaz.com/story/3593 South Tempe's Phase 54 is not an easy find. The nightspot, off Harl Avenue and Elliot Road east of Interstate 10, sits in an industrial complex. It's easy to pass, but purple lights decorating the trees outside the bar should help catch your eye. Ra Sushi brings a slice of nightlife to Dana Park http://www.getoutaz.com/story/3557 Ra Sushi at Dana Park shopping center is open and airy compared with the Tempe, Ahwatukee Foothills and downtown Scottsdale locations. But like the other locations - there are five - it has that trendy, hip, rock 'n' roll vibe. And there's not an empty seat at the bar when we stop in.
