House of Tricks is well-known for their large and unique wine menu, with occasional special wine events. Menu choices vary in homemade soups, winter squash ravioli, seared salmon flatbread sandwich, or braised provincial beef pot pie and much more.

Rula Bula Irish Pub & Restaurant: 401 S. Mill Ave, Tempe, AZ 85181, phone 480-929-9500, Open 11am-2am, 7 dys/wk.

Roughly translated from an Irish phrase as "uproar and commotion" in the most playful and fun way, Rula Bula is a lively place for a good pint, Irish and American food, and a good time. All in all, it's a great place for good solid food like Shepherd's Pie, Corned Beef and Cabbage, Boxty, and of course a pint of Guinness or other favorite beer on tap. Rula Bula also satisfies the good old American hamburger hunger pains.

  • Rula Bula offers a wide variety of American and international beer on tap until 2 AM.
  • Bit-zee Mama's Mexican-American has been part of Glendale's historic downtown since the 1970's.
  • Haus Murphy's bier garten (beer garden) is a little old European flavor in the middle of Glendale.
