Organizer's picks
Hi, here we will list some of our favorite places to go in Flagstaff for food, drinks, and a good time.
Igor’s Picks
Breweries:
- Into Hops? Mother Road is the best! Nice selection of IPAs!
- Beers and Southwestern food? Lumberyard is the place to go
- Because I am a hop-head, I’d also suggest: Historic Brewing, Wanderlust (if you are into German and Belgian styles), and Dark Sky Brewing (for a mix of styles and a nice patio)
Local pub:
- Pay’n’take has the perfect local feeling, with several types of beer on tap. Be aware, just beers here. However, you can easily order the best pizza in town from Pizzicleta (ask the server)
Coffee:
- Matador Coffee is close enough to the venue, roasts its coffees, and smells amazing
- Single Speed is my favorite coffee joint. Not very close to the venue, tho.
Cocktails/Drinks:
- The Monte Vista Lounge. Historic Hotel, good drinks, and… KARAOKE on Tuesdays and Thursdays
- The Annex. Great selection of cocktails
- Drinking Horn Meadery. If you want to check a selection of Meads, this place deserves a visit.
Foodie
- Pato Thai is my “to-go” Thai restaurant
- The Red Curry for good vegan food
- Tiki Grill. I like their fish dishes. It is a hipster place, with a small menu, and a small-city feeling.
- Josephine’s. Want to go fancy? This is my favorite one! Amazing menu, with a lot of specials
- Los Alteños. for some Mexican food.

Fabio’s Picks
Breweries and bar:
- Grand Canyon Brewery. They have excellent Ales and this time of the year a seasonal PUMPKIN SPRINGS PORTER - Spiced Porter

- Silver Pine - inside the Little America Hotel. It needs a car, but it’s worth it.
