The Valley of the Sun's beer scene has been a powerhouse for a decade, with Arizona Wilderness Brewing Company and Wren House Brewing Company opening new outposts to expand their visions.

Friday Nights at OMCA invites the Bay to kick off the weekend with family, friends, or neighbors, featuring live music and interactive activities every Friday from April to October.

Temple Bar is going full throwback this April with a two-night '90s takeover that leans all the way into downtown nostalgia, transforming into a 'living time capsule' with low lighting and oversized martini glasses.

"We've all been in the restaurant industry for a long time, in many different ways. We met a couple of years ago, and one night, after they had been out all day surfing, they just proposed that I join them in opening a restaurant."

Carina Hedlund has visited Ireland over 30 times since 2011, capturing the warmth of the people she meets in the capital's pubs with her camera.

Athens is a place you feel, not see. The beauty and soul of the city is laced into the way of life - the small moments and exchanges that happen daily - rather than in immaculately preserved monuments, museums and high streets like those of other European capitals.

Golden Child aims for a polished yet social atmosphere, resembling a members' club vibe without the exclusivity, making it accessible to all guests.

I was panicking. You don't know what you might have been caught doing. What if they've got a horrible video of me? After all, she was just literally stood having a conversation. Yet she felt embarrassed. That intrusive lens completely violates all privacy.

The drinks scene here has undergone something of a Renaissance, with the number and variety of options across the city blossoming. Of course, there are still the old school stalwarts that adhere to the traditional Italian idea of a bar-envision the quintessential all-day café-bar where you might stand at the counter for a cappuccino in the morning, grab a quick panino at lunchtime, or linger over an aperitivo after work.

Celebrated by the BBC as one of the city's top 8 literary destinations, The Urbane Arts Club is more than just a venue-it's a vibrant hub for culture and creativity. Through an eclectic mix of literary launches, musical showcases, and theatrical performances, it fosters an environment rich in conversation and artistic expression.

It's been wonderful to watch our industry blossom and come into its own. We started out with a handful of small cocktail-focused bars sprinkled throughout different pockets of the city that were trying to stand out among longstanding dive bars and bustling restaurant bars. But they've now burst onto the national map. My favorite thing, though, is that all of this growth still has something very beautifully Philadelphia to it.

For the past few years, we've been rounding up the best new restaurants in New York City as they open, with the sentiment being that anyone visiting the Big Apple can get a glimpse of our vast and diverse culinary scene by dining at a younger spot or two alongside the old-school institutions.

Award-winning bartenders greet drinkers with warmth and authority, led by partner and lead bartender Jose Pereiro, who guides drinkers toward cocktails that suit their tastes. Since opening in 2017, MidCity has kept the focus squarely on the drinks, letting thoughtful cocktails take center stage without any unnecessary theatrics.

PAOK currently sit inside the top 24, but their position remains precarious. Two points separate them from 25th-placed Dinamo Zagreb, meaning Razvan Lucescu's men cannot afford complacency. Their record so far-two wins, three draws, and one defeat-reflects resilience, though recent European outings have been dramatic. A late equalizer denied them victory against Brann, while they salvaged a 3-3 draw at Ludogorets thanks to a stoppage-time strike on matchday six.

My grandparents used to take me to the Sandford Arms across the road from their house in Leeds on a Saturday afternoon to play the jukebox and since I remember records like Boney M's Rivers of Babylon this must mean I was about four. My other grandparents, meanwhile, actually ran a pub in the city centre. Their days usually started with my grandad, who did not have the bonhomie of a natural landlord, groaning to my grandmother: You open up, Kath, I can't face it!

In a prime spot in Ardmore on Philadelphia's Main Line, the long, rectangular shop offers warmth through vertical wooden slats near the door, plus white oak paneling across a white stone-topped bar and the back wall behind the counter. At the far end of the room, blue mati pendants pop against a white wall, a bright nod to the owners' Greek heritage.

Let's explore some of Greece's most popular residency routes... The Financially Independent Person (FIP) Permit Greece doesn't offer a retiree-specific visa so for those looking to enjoy their golden years in Greece, the Financially Independent Person (FIP) Permit is the preferred choice. To qualify for the FIP permit you will need to be able to show that you receive a monthly income of at least €3,500 (about $4,000) for a single applicant.

The latest crop of bars are doing all of the above and then some, putting an emphasis on zero waste, housemade distillates, off beat wines, and immersive vibes. What's also clear is the geography of drinking culture: its clear epicenter is Lower Manhattan, with a few exciting entries in Brooklyn and one in Long Island City, Queens.

The Tusk Bar exudes old-guard Manhattan élán-the sort of room that could have doubled as a private clubhouse for the Vanderbilts and Rockefellers. The name is a wink to the Gilded Age fascination with exotic taxidermy, and the polished brass trim, elegant marble counter, and stuffed ostrich overlooking the salon would make any louche Robber Baron chortle into his Champagne flute.

On a recent Friday night, around 150 people lined up around the block to get into DC's newest hotspot. They weren't seeking out some trendy cuisine or buzzy chef. They were waiting for Eebee's, which is, basically, just a neighborhood bar. Vintage beer signs and family photos give the Shaw corner joint a dive-y unpretentiousness. You can get a Miller High Life for $6 or a martini for $13. And the cheeseburger is better than you might expect.

The UK has long looked to Greece through a familiar lens: sunshine, island airports and a packed summer flight schedule. Yet Greece's tourism story has started to look more like a business story-one built on regeneration, upgraded hospitality, and service sectors designed to perform beyond the peak months. That shift is increasingly visible in the full "destination package" surrounding travel and entertainment. In Greece, the mix now spans conference capacity, waterfront redevelopment

Hidden in a Philadelphia back alley, behind a clandestine door, lies a dark yet spirited cocktail lounge. Called the Ranstead Room, it's one of Philly's best-kept secrets. The speakeasy isn't easy to find, unless you happen to be behind El Rey Mexican restaurant on Ranstead Street. And even then, you'll have to locate a discreet black door with two R's emblazoned into it. But it's worth the quest, and it's one of my favorite lairs in the city.

Whether you're patronizing a swanky cocktail bar, a classic dive, or somewhere in between, there are a few ways to let the bartender know you're the kind of customer worth giving special treatment to. Sure, tipping well and being polite will get you far enough - along with a few other do's and don'ts of ordering at the bar, but getting the type of service that the bartender's favorite regular receives is not that simple, especially on your first visit.
