    Ghost donkey is a super cool bar! I love the lights they have up in the ceiling and all the decor!!! I only ordered drinks, they have a big menu with different cocktails, wine and other things to order. I definitely recommend coming over here to enjoy a night out with friends!!

    Ghost donkey was a part of our sustainability mixer for our Forbes summit and it is a really neat place! We really packed in here but their staff did a great job accommodating us. I didn't get to order anything but the menu looked lovely and creative. The seating looked really open and I definitely want to come back with a smaller group.

    No Stealth Margarita! Sayyyyy whaaaaat! No really. Say what (insert sad face). Ambiance: This place is a cool vibe for those on a date, just hanging out as friends or a nice pregame to the next stop. Its giving Austin's 6th street and sprinkle a little more keeping it weird on top. Very eclectic. Parking: We just bar hopped so Im not sure the best place to park. However I did see a bit of street parking. Please read street signs and be responsible when parking your vehicle. Service: Service was great. The Bartender offered suggestions in lieu of not having the stealth margarita. I will say that I am not from AZ, so when I travel I like to have the whole experience, that includes signature drinks that sounds like they taste divine. Whenever I am back in town I may give them another try if I get to experience tasting the stealth margarita or any other signature home town favorites.

    The decor is so fun. You must go to see. The staff is awesome. The music is great. You have to see.

    Ghost Donkey is a cute bar perfect for Instagram worthy pictures. The drinks are a bit expensive but tasty and they offer a variety of house cocktails including some drinks for multiple people to share. Sparkling lights cover the ceiling giving the room great ambiance. Bathrooms can be packed and messy but the bar overall is cute and neat. Many seating areas though the bar is small so expect a wait during busy nights.

    The absolute best. The best Latin music in downtown, best drinks, and amazing atmosphere. They have a huge variety of Mezcal and the manager Eddy, who we met earlier at Palma was more than happy to sit down with us and give us a rundown on what spirits they have and let us try his favorites, even on a packed Friday night. We ended up going to the bar afterwards and the bartender Jerry gave us one of his favorites too with a brand that Eddy had talked about, which gave the whole experience an even better touch. Even the security guard out front, Edgar,was so nice and cracking jokes with everyone, which doesn't happen very often in downtown. Most of the security in the area are serious and on edge so it was a nice change. Hopefully we'll have a chance to try their last bar Champagne Lanes to finish it off in the coming days!! 10/10

    We are from out of town and stopped in before a Suns game. We did arrive shortly after they opened. The service was outstanding only because our bartender was so nice & personable!

I remember touring the administrative offices, the dining hall, the classrooms, the residence halls, and other random buildings, but the most memorable stop was The Pub, which was rooted in much Thunderbird tradition. Now, years later with a new building in place at ASU, I was delighted to learn that The Pub still exists but in a new space (on the fifth floor). I recently stopped by to see what it looked like and try one of their dishes. In the spirit of Thunderbird, at The Pub, it is said that "global flavors and local charm come together to create an unforgettable dining experience." This is a great place for a meal with co-workers, hosting a gathering for a special celebration, or having a low-key meal. I took a book and gave it a try on my own. The sides include chicken wings, chicken tenders, hummus snack plate, or various ways to prepare fries. They have soup, salad, flatbread, entree bowls, and many burgers and sandwiches. They also have all sorts of drink options (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). It was national root beer float day (or something of the sort), so every burger came with a free root beer float. I jumped at that and got the Thunderbird Pub Burger (seasoned 6oz all beef patty, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, American Cheese, signature pub sauce Brioche Bun, served with Crispy French Fries). It was delicious!! In fact, it was better than delicious when paired with a free root beer float! They have regular hours of noon to 5 PM on weekdays (though they are open until 9 PM on Thursdays. They do have seasonal hours when they close early or entirely when classes are not in session. Happy hour specials are from 3-5 PM daily. While there are many great places to eat at ASU, I certainly recommend The Pub at Thunderbird.

One of the highlights was chatting with Dan, who has been bartending for eight years. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer questions about the brewing process and the brewery itself. It's clear he enjoys what he does and takes pride in sharing information with customers. I also learned that the brewery was founded by Megan Greenwood, and it's impressive to see how her vision has grown into a well-known local brewery. The brewing operation includes seven tanks, giving visitors a glimpse into the production side of the business. For anyone interested in seeing more behind the scenes, Greenwood Brewing does offer brewery tours. There isn't a set tour schedule, so it's best to ask staff about availability when you visit. One feature I thought was especially cool was the live Instagram follower counter displayed behind the bar. Watching the number update in real time was a fun and unique touch that added to the brewery's modern, community-focused atmosphere. The atmosphere was welcoming, the staff was engaging, and it was fun getting a closer look at the brewing process while enjoying quality craft beer. A great stop for both locals and visitors looking to support a Phoenix- Women owned brewery. The vibes are chill & semi-loud with music playing in the background. They have seating on both sides of the brewery, outside seating & local restaurants QR codes to order food from. IG: greenwood Brewing

We passed AZ Wilderness and saw how busy they were so we stopped at Greenwood as they were less busy and we had never tried their beer before. My parents prefer IPA's and are tough critics, however, they liked the IPA's so much they bought a pack to take home. I'm not a huge beer drinker so I ordered the seltzer on tap and it was good + refreshing. My husband also ordered the Mango Lassi and loved it. We spoke to the staff member on site who I believe said they've been around for 6 years or so. Greenwood definitely deserves more hype as not only were their beers good but they have cute seating arrangements with an open courtyard. Definitely give Greenwood a try if you find yourself going to Downtown Phoenix!
