Old Town is usually where the happening joints are. The only problem is choosing where to go!

Haus Murphy’s
Old Town Glendale
5739 W. Glendale Ave.
Glendale, AZ 85021
(623) 939-2480
hausmurphys.com

Come for lunch, dinner, or just the authentic German beer! Haus Murphy’s has the best German cuisine on the west side, with plates like Jäger Schnitzel, Frankfurter Würstchen (sausage), and Hackbraten (German-style meatloaf). Every Friday and Saturday, the tuba and accordion players serve up live music, and the annual Oktoberfest is always a good time!

Casey Moore’s Oyster House
Old Town Tempe
850 S. Ash Ave.
Tempe, AZ 85281
(480) 968-9935
caseymoores.com

At Casey’s, you’ll get a little history with your meal. This historical home that many claim is haunted serves up high-class appetizers like Oysters Rockefeller and escargot. In addition to plates like salmon Oscar and cioppino of seafood, Casey’s also has sandwiches, burgers, and steaks. The building itself is worth the visit, from the beautiful outdoor seating areas with ponds to the unique and antique décor inside. Be sure to check out the draught beers and spirits!

Grimaldi’s Pizzeria
Old Town Scottsdale
4000 N. Scottsdale Rd.
Scottsdale, AZ 85251
(480) 994-1100
grimaldispizzeria.com

You may have visited the Grimaldi’s in DC Ranch, but a visit to this flagship location is a must! Coal-fired brick oven pizza is Grimaldi’s claim to fame. Known nationally for their unique flavors and exceptional service, Grimaldi’s has naturally attracted customers like Frank Sinatra. They have calzones, salads and, of course pizza, with all the toppings you love on your pie and then some. Love Grimaldi’s so much you want to share? Reserve a banquet room or have your next party catered!
