The Mayor

Flagstaff’s best (and only) rooftop bar. All the booths have their own tabletop fire pit and a great view of downtown Flagstaff, Mt. Elden, Aggaziz and the southern part of the San Francisco Peaks. Their menu is family-friendly, but this is somewhat of a college bar - especially as it gets dark. Summer nights bring rooftop movie showings and other nightlife shenanigans.

Flagstaff Brewery

Flagstaff’s OG craft brewery is still the place to hang out during the summer for locals and visitors alike. There’s live music out on the patio every Sunday afternoon and it’s a great place to take in Flagstaff while getting a burger and a beer or fish and chips. If you are looking for a more laidback, old-school, traditional local pub vibe, Flag Brew is for you. And don’t forget to take a look at their extensive whiskey and scotch menu. It’s quite impressive to say the least.

Dark Sky Brewing Co.

DSB is now bigger and radder than before! Enjoy Pizzicletta oven-fired pizza and the always fun, ever-changing tap menu, but now head over to their new addition, Flagstaff’s biggest outdoor patio! Not only that, they have an additional kitchen that features high-end, classic pub food that really isn’t fair to call “pub food”. One more thing, they also serve wine, liquor, and craft cocktails on the patio as well now in addition to their creative, small-batch craft brews.

Historic Brewing Co.

History Brewing Co. is a popular place for visitors. Their creative marketing and wide selection of merchandise have done well in getting their brand out there. You’ll find a quaint patio that serves food and some good snacks to share while choosing from their selection of decent beers. But their patio is very dog friendly and its back corner location is kind of nice and private.

Diablo Burger

Diablo Burger (named after the local Diablo Ranch where the beef comes from) is arguably the best burger in Flagstaff. There are other fantastic burger joints in town, it really just depends if you’re a purist or really like to push the possibilities of a good burger. Diablo Burger serves their local, grass-fed, free-range raised beef on a ciabatta bun, and then let your flavor profile go exploring! Their outdoor patio is a shared bench format, which is also great for larger groups. Their patio has also always been one of the most welcoming to dogs in Flagstaff. For the vegetarians, they do serve a veggie burger and a kick-ass grilled cheese.

Wanderlust is a small microbrewery located in the high country of Arizona, in a small business park off the beaten path. Our beers reflect our tastes and the sense of adventure that comes along with a lifetime of travel and exploration. We have a particular soft spot for Saisons and Farmhouse-style ales and the sense of place that they evoke, but we also dabble in everything from German Hefeweizens to Belgian-inspired sours; British-inspired dark ales and obscure styles like Finnish Sahtis and German Gose. We also put our own twist on new-school American styles and have even been known to dabble in the hoppy beers now and again. We preach the gospel of science behind our beers for unmatched consistency and quality at our scale, but also embrace the artistry and chaos involved with running an extensive barrel aging and sour beer program and fermenting one of our flagship ales with a local wild yeast strain.

Welcome to FRATELLI PIZZA, where we bake pizzas the RIGHT way - in a stone deck oven. No conveyer belts here! Every Fratelli Pizza starts i's life as home made dough right here in our kitchen and is then proofed to perfection, hand tossed, mated with the freshest ingredients & baked to crispy, golden perfection. Our housemade pizza sauce uses only tomatoes from Stanislaus County, California. We searched high and low until we found the best Wisconsin whole milk mozzarella and were sure you’ll agree. Our methods might take a little longer, but is one of the reasons our pies are super tasty. Your patience will be rewarded with the best pizza available in Flagstaff.
