Any ideas for good design related shops/stores, pubs/lounges and just general cool things to do?
I will already be doing the superbowl and maybe the FBR Open this weekend.

im gonna tell you...you can find awesome things to do in phoenix...you just have to dig deep. the first friday of every month there is a huge artwalk in downtown phoenix. lots of great underground artists, bands playing on the street, house parties and so on.
i'd suggest tempe for bar hopping, shopping and other various "hip" activities. for a great cheeseburger, try the chuckbox off of university and mill, near ASU. the place is a charmer for sure.- Artwalk sounds cool. i guess that goes tomorrow? :( i get there saturday.jerk
- yea, scottsdale has a big art community too...but be prepared to spend MONEY.studderine

the phoenix art museum is fairly nice too..hell i'd say its a 4 outta 5.

Wander around Papago park in just a tshirt, its like being on the moon, except for people barbecuing. Then hit Scottsdale at night and watch people valet parking Ferarris outside clubs with $20 drinks in..
It's an unreportedly vast place though, so as they say dig deep or you could go years without finding any culture. People are real friendly, so just just get chatting. Oh and be prepared to drive several hundred miles to get anywhere.

Bummer. Phoenix is a cancer cell, a malignant melanoma on the otherwise beautiful desert of the southwest. An endless sea of strip malls and parking lots and too many self deluded bastards all pretending it isn't that hot with all their talk of 'dry heat'.
Hands down the worst American city.- haha, wow... never heard anyone talk about Phoenix like thatPoint5
- hey it isnt that hot. plus its just dry heat!emokid
- Sand in the Vagmorilla
- yea, because LA is really cool. smog, traffic, crack whores, and the like.studderine
- not sure I have a problem with any the items you just listed studderine.
yes please!Point5 - hehestudderine

i like phoenix. a super lot. it's chill.
avoid, tempe, scottsdale, westside, south side, and glendale. and you're fine.
downtown has a nice tiny lil scene. dive bars. ghetto ass clubs. hit up the biltmore, uptown - and you'll find higher end clubs and bars.

i dont see why you should avoid tempe....before the art community was in phoenix...it was in tempe. you could also say that phoenix is crime ridden, boring, with no life at all in the downtown area.
- mesa has a great art center, so does tempe, phoenix and scottsdale.
studderine - i avoid tempe not becauase of art. i don't care about art - i make it. i avoid tempe because i don't like amateur drunks and college kids. :)
and yep, mesa apparently does have a great art center, and scottsdale as a great compt. art museum. it doesn't mean i like the areas to party in. ;)antigirl - uhh...when you have a bar district..there are going to be drunks...what did you expect?studderine
- "i dont care about art - i make it" - antigirl
studderine - i expect (a little too much) people tthat can handle drinking, without making themselves look like idiots. i like professionaly drunks. and i think i will i should screen print that quote. i didn't realize how good it sounded until just now!antigirl

- thanks! so do you live on 7th and roosevelt?studderine
- have fun with that though. awesome to call people trash.
i have been here for 12 years and it's where i went to jr high and high school. but i do not 'rep' any state.antigirl - i live and work on 1st drive and roosevelt. it's like, 1st ave for people who don't know the downtown area. i use to live on central and campbell.
i like downtown and uptown. i don't like other spots in phoenix. oh fuckin well.antigirl - trash talking...its different.
studderine - good work though!studderine
- i don't like getting drunk or partying with amateur drunks. that isn't trash talking. its just facts.antigirl
- & the work is the only thing that matters....antigirl
- make a living just off your prints?studderine
