A Blissful New Downtown Spot
In the days of Fate and Nine|05, neighbors and First Friday attendees alike flocked to the outdoor bar and the tasty but expensive plates well into the night. With those concepts long gone, it seemed a waste to have one of Downtown's premium patio spaces — not to mention stunning yet quaint indoor restaurant-and-bar bungalows — vacant once more. The vacancy was brief, and in the ideal doldrums of the Phoenix summertime. Bliss and reBar, a restaurant and bar concept sharing the same lot, opens today, offering a shift toward cheaper price points and a more neighborhood feel.

Health & Wealth Raffle’s Grand Prize Has the Views
Shocking as it may seem in this real estate climate, a million-dollar penthouse is in extremely high demand in Midtown Phoenix. The just-completed, fully furnished 2,846-square-foot penthouse offers unparalleled Valleywide views, sleek finishes and the roomiest balcony Phoenix has to offer. The kicker: It can be yours for $100. The Health & Wealth Raffle, now in its seventh year benefiting St. Joseph's Hospital and Barrow Neurological Institute, is "Soaring to New Heights," offering One Lexington's model penthouse unit — 16 floors above the intersection of Central and Osborn — as its grand prize.

Make the Scene | Psyko Steve
If you’ve lived in the Valley long enough, you've probably seen "Psyko Steve Presents" stamped on many a flyer and poster. But who is this Psyko Steve? Stephen Chilton, an Arizona native, has been promoting shows for a decade, and has showcased so many bands that Coachella might even be jealous. Every promoter has to start with what they’re familiar with, so Chilton started his promotion career with friends’ bands. [caption id="attachment_9507" align="alignright" width="358" caption="You can find Psyko Steve at neighborhood venues like the Rhythm Room, the Trunk Space and Hard Rock Café.

Sips and Grub | Urban Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich at Urban Cookies
Cookies are truly delectable treats. They have the uncanny ability to make me crave them fortnightly. In some cases, I crave them every night. This incessant craving has led me to seek out some well-crafted, flavorful treats in our beloved Downtown. I heard tale that a palace of heavenly baked goodness resided just up 7th Street, in the form of Urban Cookies. This standalone cookie factory shone like a beacon of hope for my sweet tooth. [caption id="attachment_9482" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="Your new favorite thing."][/caption] When I walked in, I was met with a flair of modern design and sweet scents of epic flavor ...
Make the Scene | Dry River Yacht Club
At 10 p.m. in the middle of a Tempe neighborhood, most people are going to bed — kids dreading the first days of school, parents watching David Letterman — but behind one door, there’s a family reunion going on. A Dry River Yacht Club reunion to be exact. For the first time in a while, all eight members are together again and yes, it feels so good. The night before they’re off to record at Chalice Recording Studios in Los Angeles, they get together to practice, have a few beers and catch up. DPJ was lucky enough to be part of the ...
