It's that time of year again: The 48th annual New Times Best of PhoenixÂŽ hits newsstands and the internet today. đŚâđĽ
The theme, Come Out and Play, is a reminder to put down your phone, get off your computer and experience the Valley of the Sun up close and in person.
With this edition, we invite you â yes, you â to join us in celebrating the vivid experiences waiting to be enjoyed in metro Phoenix. Museums and dispensaries. Golf courses and nightclubs. Mountains and hotels. Day spas and taquerĂas. We have reported and written 500 reasons for you to put on some shoes, set your phone to Do Not Disturb and join the party happening every day, just outside your door.
We couldnât produce Best of PhoenixÂŽ without help from our readers, so we dedicate an entire section to your picks for the cityâs best in nearly 100 additional categories. As for our own picks, those come from our team of writers who know all corners of the city.
Let's touch grass, literally. Letâs open our eyes to the Valleyâs incredible people and places. Let's get out there and live big.

To help you navigate these restaurants, weâve split our list into four categories. We start with the exciting newcomers that opened during the past year (from that list, and on the cover, is @indibarscottsdale).
Then, Weâve got special-occasion eateries, perfect for a birthday or anniversary. Next up are everyday neighborhood favorites, where youâll dine among regulars. Finally, there are casual, counter service spots that are quick, easy and memorable.
We hope youâll use this list to eat your way around the Valley.

If youâve sipped a cocktail in this city recently, you know Phoenix is a hotspot for immersive bars with world-class drinks.
But 25 years ago, it was merely a hot place with a reputation for chain restaurants and dust.
In 1999, Arizona had 12 licensed wine producers. Today, the state is home to nearly 100 producers who cultivate a range of varieties, crafting bottles and blends that travel nationwide. Arizona craft brewers, too, make top-notch beers that continue to earn national recognition.
But bars are about more than plaques and rankings. They bring people together. Theyâre where friends gather to tell old stories and to live new ones. They help celebrate lifeâs highs and commiserate the lows.
The bar scene in Phoenix has grown up fast. Our collection of dives, breweries, wine bars, immersive experiences, neighborhood haunts and nostalgic watering holes has never been stronger. With such an abundance of riches, itâs hard to narrow it down. But Phoenix New Times editors and writers have traveled the Valley, doing research disguised as drinking, or maybe the other way around.
Our 2025 Top 100 Bars issue is finally here. đĽ Pick one up at newsstands around the Valley or read it in full at phoenixnewtimes.com (link in bio).

His middle daughterâs passion for baking pushed him to make his next outfit a place where she and his other two children could learn.
Now, Blue Corn Cafe & Bakery has opened its third Valley location in Avondale.

The woman in the leopard-print blazer and black dress sat on the bench in courtroom 701 in Maricopa County Superior Court waiting for the hearing to start. Seated at the defense table was Stephen Luke Osborne, who turned to look at the woman seated in the gallery. âI love you,â Kat Blue whispered to her son. âI love you too,â Osborne whispered back.
Osborne, 33, was arrested on Aug. 11 and had been in the Maricopa County Sheriffâs Office Lower Buckeye Jail ever since. Now, on the morning of Oct. 23, Osborne was in court to revisit his bond conditions. Blue was anxious but one worry outweighed the rest.
Her son relies on prescription medication to manage a potentially fatal health condition. If he misses doses or takes it inconsistently, his body can become resistant to the medication within weeks. During his first week in custody, the detention deputies and medical staff had skipped giving him multiple doses.
For weeks Blue had emailed anyone she could think of who might be able to help. That included the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. When her son missed another dose on Sept. 21, she confronted the county about the missed medicine again. They denied her allegations. But then she had them dead to rights: His medical records in the jail did not match up with surveillance footage. Her son had not received his medication and the video proved it.
âThey admitted it,â she said. âIt felt like now nobody can deny it.â

At the end of October, Sam Fox left the company he spent the last nearly 30 years building.
The departure comes after Fox Restaurant Concepts was sold to The Cheesecake Factory in 2019 for a whopping $353 million. Fox told Phoenix Business Journal that after the sale, his departure was inevitable.
âItâs time for me to focus on things that I own 100% of and work on some growth of the hotels and maybe a few restaurants,â Fox told the Journal.
