Phoenix late-night dining options

What’s Cracking Good — Late night dining

It’s after 10 o’clock,  you’re hungry, and it seems like all your options are winding down for the evening. There are, however, a few places about town that still serve into the wee hours. Here are a few around town:

DOWNTOWN PHOENIX

Hanny’s
40 N. 1st St.
Phoenix, AZ 85004
Serves food until: Kitchen cooks until 1 a.m. daily

The old Hanny’s department store has been converted into a new, open restaurant bar — often with a DJ. Food includes pizza, sandwiches, salads and an array of other munchies.

PHOENIX

The Vig
6015 N. 16th Street OR 4041 N. 40th Street
Phoenix, AZ
Serve food: Until 1 a.m. every day

Both Vig locations have stylish modern decor and a large menu selection. My suggestion: the burger and/or wings.

***

Dick’s Hideaway
6008 N. 16th Street
Phoenix, AZ 85016
Serve food until: Midnight nightly

Sit at the bar and watch the chefs  cook up  one of Dick’s spicy southwestern-style selections like quesadillas, New Mexico sausages or a relleno plate. The owners are the same people behind Rokerij (one of Esquire’s best bars) and Richardson’s. NOTE: Dick’s is located to the right of Luci’s, but the door is unmarked.

Delux
3146 E. Camelback Rd.
Phoenix, AZ 85016
Serves food until: 2 a.m. nightly

What’s on the menu: burgers, sandwiches, salads and addictive sweet potato fries.

***

Revo Burrito
3154 E. Camelback Rd.
Phoenix, AZ 85014
Serves food until: 12 a.m. on Friday and Saturday and 11 p.m. on Sunday – Thursday

Big burritos filled with things like organic black beans, vegetables, green chili and some really good creamy rice. NOTE: Revo does not serve alcohol.

***

Armadillo Grill
1904 E. Camelback
Phoenix, AZ
Serves food until: 12:30 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and until 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday

Armadillo is a sports bar that sells slightly-above-sports-bar fare like coconut shrimp ($9.99) and artichoke croquettes ($7.49) — and then the usuals, wings, potato skins, nachos and fried pickles?

The 24-hour restaurants serves the usual diner-fare all night long, every day.

Tempe, AZ 85281

OR

1941 W. Guadalupe Rd.
Mesa, AZ 85202

Delicious pies filled with savory fillings. I can’t think of a better late-night destination.

***

Casey Moore’s
850 S. Ash Ave.
Tempe, AZ 85281
Serves food until: The dinner menu is served through 11 p.m. The rest of the menu until 1 a.m.

“Casey’s” is a quintessential ASU bar/food spot. It’s officially an oyster bar, but the menu runs the gamut — sandwiches, burgers, and your typical fried bar food.

SCOTTSDALE

AZ 88
7353 Scottsdale Mall
Scottsdale, AZ 85281
Serves food until:  12:30 a.m. every night

AZ 88 has a cool atmosphere, expensive (yet potent) martinis and a basic menu of salads, chicken sandwiches and burgers. During the spring/fall, the patio is amazing.

Serves food until: 24 hours every day

Cheese steaks, cheese fries, egg and cheese sandwiches are just a few of the menu items that you’re probably craving late into a Scottsdale night out. They also have other delicacies like cutlet sandwiches, meatball subs and some vegetarian options.
