This article is part of an SIR Today series of recommendations from Phoenix-area interventional radiologists and their colleagues on their favorite restaurants, hangouts and sights to see. We thank all those who have submitted their top local picks to this series!
Restaurants
- The Churchill Downtown: A wide collection of restaurants and bars, with a notable fast pizza option in Freak Brothers Pizza. Vegetarian and Vegan options abound there.
- Pizzeria Bianco: If you can wait 3 hours and love Netflix and want to check the box for attending, go here and get drinks at Bar Bianco while you wait.
- Chantico: A nicer restaurant featuring healthy and Arizona-inspired Mexican fare with vegan/vegetarian options to boot. Good drink menu.
- AZ Downtown Wilderness Brewing: Good food and local beer selection. Some of the purchases help wildlife and water conservation.
Bars

- Ghost Donkey: A smaller bar with a great nacho menu and diverse Agave based drinks, but with other drinks as well. The mushroom margarita and frozen margarita are a must
- Châm Pang Lanes: An Asian inspired bowling lane with fun cocktails
