Best Place to See Midget Bartenders
Award Winner 2010

Cuisine(s): American, Seafood
Features: Patio/Sidewalk Dining

Description

There's rarely a dull moment to be had at Giligin's, as this wacked-out island-themed watering hole specializes in serving up goofy good times, as well as gigantic 24-ounce beers, to its rowdy patrons. Be sure to check out the weekly goldfish races, karaoke four nights a week, or hang out with the always-hilarious Chuey the Rock 'n' Roll Midget, who works his own Lilliputian-sized bar in one corner. Plus, the kitchen stays open until 1:30 a.m., serving crab cakes, corn dogs, and other fried treats just in case you get the late-night munchies.

Chuey the Rock 'n' Roll Midget and his Lilliputian friend named Giant). It's adorable and is a good home base for bar-hoppers. There's even a life-size statue of Captain Morgan at the entrance, which makes the... More »
2006 | BEST PLACE TO TEST YOUR CULINARY COURAGE

If you're tired of simply watching episodes of the retch-inducing reality show Fear Factor, see if you've got the gastronomic gumption to consume cow brains or cockroaches at this Scottsdale bar's extreme weekly event every Wednesday at 10 p.m. Courageous contestants spin a large wheel for points and attempt to solve frequently lurid word puzzles like "Finger My Furburger Until I Pee." If the roulette-style wheel lands on a few spaces with "Fear Factor" written on them, players can get even... More »
2001 | Best Scottsdale Branch Of A Thailand Whorehouse

Talk about best-kept secrets: Most people don't know that the popular college party bar Giligin's has a second location -- in Thailand. The Pattaya version has the same owners, the same name and the same tropical theme and Corona beer specials, but with one distinctive addition: whores! Plenty of young Thai prostitutes who, according to the Giligin's Web site, www.giligins.com, will take care of "any, and I mean any, special or freaky needs" for less than $100 a day. The site features... More »
