Tempe
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Tempe, Arizona
Tempe is home to Arizona State University, and its bar scene reflects that college-town energy - BarFinder lists 163 venues here, led by classic bars and sports bars, with a solid cocktail bar and brewery presence behind them. The city's nightlife centers heavily on Mill Avenue, the walkable strip of bars and restaurants that's long been ASU's social hub, with spots like Thirsty Lion and Twisted Sisters Sports Grille reflecting the area's game-day and student crowds. From Mill Avenue bar crawls to neighborhood sports bars, Tempe's scene is built as much around ASU as the desert backdrop.
