Local pour · checked 2026-09-03

Phoenix drinks like a desert city that discovered wine. Arizona grows its own grapes — the Arizona Wine Growers Association counts three grape-growing regions around the state, including the Verde Valley north of town — and the Arcadia wine cafes pour $6 glasses until 5 every day. The local pour is a $6 glass of wine, a $5 draft, and, in Old Town, a $3|6|9 steakhouse band.

Wine is the local language

Postino Arcadia (3939 E Campbell Ave) posts Happy Hour Redefined: Join us daily 'til 5 PM for $6 glasses of wine and $6 pitchers of beer. House hours run 11 AM to 11 PM. That daily-til-5 is the longest wine window in the directory, and it sits in a restored 1940s post office on Campbell. Downtown answers with a shorter, sharper version: The Arrogant Butcher at CityScape posts happy hour 2–5pm, every Monday–Friday at the bar, with $10 classic cocktails, $7 house wines, and $5 draft pints.

Biltmore and Old Town pour heavier

The Gladly (2201 E Camelback Road, Biltmore) posts drinks 11am–6pm and eats 3pm–6pm daily, with draft cocktails $12, featured wine $9 per glass, smoked mozzarella fondue $12, sausage & pretzel $8, and Cutino Sweet Heat Wings $16. In Old Town Scottsdale, STK Scottsdale (3815 N. Scottsdale Rd) posts Monday–Friday 2:30pm–6:30pm, Saturday–Sunday 2:30pm–5:30pm, and Monday–Friday plus Sunday 9pm–11pm, with a $3 | $6 | $9 Happy Hour.
