Description

Pretty young things and tattooed-and-pierced types rub elbows with hip-hop heads and ASU cuties in the nooks and crannies that come together to give shape to this spacious drinkery. Located off the beaten path on University Drive east of the 101, Stray Cat brings in a diverse college crowd who manage to mingle well with barflies more interested in their glasses than socializing. Live shows by local rock and punk bands are occasionally offered on Stray Cat's stage, and while there's no patio to speak of, a ventilated room adjacent to the front entrance offers smokers a place to satisfy their nic fits while drinking.

  • 2011 | Best Smoking Patio

    Packed with hip-hoppers, coeds, and rockers, The Stray Cat serves a diverse clientele. But no group is better taken care of at the Tempe spot than hardcore smokers. The bar doesn't feature a smoking patio, per se, but it does house a ventilated room complete with tables, couches, TVs, and fans, all dedicated to the Cult of Nicotine and its members' ashy habit. Best of all, smokers can bring their drinks out with them, enjoying those classic twin vices of cigarettes and alcohol. Smoking... More »

  • 2005 | BEST MELONBALL

    When your mixed drink of choice is the melonball, and it seems to be made differently (and usually poorly) at every bar in the Valley, you start to feel like maybe you should just order a friggin' screwdriver. Most of the time, when you do ask for a melonball, you get a drink made of mostly orange juice, a smidge of vodka, and a tiny, microscopic drop of Midori melon liqueur, anyway. Or you just get a glass of tequila with a thimbleful of sweet-and-sour mix tossed into it. Nobody seems to... More »
