A Friday Night in Downtown Mesa
Have you ever considered a Friday Night in Downtown Mesa other than the 2nd Friday celebrations?
By The Way the 2nd Friday Event is next week August 14th from 6pm-10pm and the theme is “Dog Days of Summer“.
Now back to things to do in Downtown Mesa on Friday or any other night…
The Cellar located just below Sun Devil Liquors has brought back wine tastings on Friday nights from 6:30pm – 8:30pm. This was my first time at The Cellar and the decor, artwork, and ambiance makes this a real jewel in the heart of Downtown Mesa. The friendly staff and local patrons added to an already enjoyable experience.
Then it was off to some poetry reading at Inside the Bungalow. I’ve never been to poetry readings nor did I know they were occurring right here in Downtown Mesa. This turn-of-the-century home is a pretty cool with two huge patio areas featuring coffees, teas, smoothies, and much more. It was amazing to see the passion of the different poets as the shared their art form with a packed audience on the front patio. Inside the Bungalow offers live music and even yoga!
Continuing with a Downtown Mesa Friday evening it was time for some food and karaoke at Kirk’s Sports Grill. Kirk’s is a fun neighborhood grill and bar featuring excellent food. Not to mention a bartender that can serve several patrons while singing his favorite song!
Downtown Mesa does have many unique treasures that can be experienced after the sun goes down, so next time Make it Mesa! And don’t forget your camera to take photos with the sculptures in the downtown area.

Get Ready Laugh with Your Entire Family!!!
National Comedy Theater is a great place to enjoy Improv Comedy with your entire family. After learning about NCT on twitter @nctphoenix I decided to give them a try a few weeks back. Me and my 3 kids went to the Friday 7:30pm show and were pleasantly surprised by the talented comedians. And yes, comedy can be family fun with their “House Rules” NCT doesn’t allow the comedians to be vulgar or disrespectful. If live comedy, laughing, and family time are things you like to do I would recommend checking out NCT Phoenix right here in Mesa. They are located at 1111 Longmore Road near Fiesta Mall. Give them a call to make reservations 602-374-5638.
Here is a brief description about NCT that from their website: NCT Phoenix, recent winner of azcentral.com’s BEST of Phoenix poll in BEST Theater Company and BEST Live Theater Venue categories, is the premiere location for cutting edge improvisational theater and comedy. For two decades, the National Comedy Theater has been entertaining audiences of all sizes and types across the nation with our unique brand of interactive, Improv comedy.

Rock out on the 4th of July!
It’s a weird July – the down economy has forced several event organizers to abandon efforts for Fourth of July events across the Valley so sadly, there just won’t be as many lights in the sky as there used to be. But, one Mesa business that is carrying on with tradition is Rockin’ R Ranch. In true, Western style, they are ready to put on a show for residents of Mesa and gathering friends and family. Their “Old Fashioned 4th of July Spectacular” starts with activities at 5:30 including watermelon eating contests, wagon rides and gold panning. A hearty dinner with all the fixins’ starts at 6:30 with BBQ chicken and beef (all you can eat!). The Rockin R Wranglers hit the stage at 7:30 and the evening will end in celebration – fireworks and all just before 9. Tickets are $20 for kids, $30 for adults. Find out more at www.RockinR.net.

So, I stopped in last week to try the Pillsbury Wine Co.’s vinos at the Cellar Pub at Sun Devil Liquors.

Who’s Your Daddy? The Party Continues in Mesa
Winners, losers, smokers, boozers. High techs and rednecks, bikers and thirsty hitchhikers. They are all welcome at Mesa’s newest offering, Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill. Earlier this month, local celebrities and fans came out in the hundreds when Toby Keith rolled into town to open his newest restaurant. And, restaurant is an understatement. This place is GINORMOUS (thank you Webster’s for acknowledging such a cool term so I don’t look like a fool using it). At 20,000 square feet, there is literally no stopping what can take place here. Toby himself said he “expects great things”, and so do we at the Mesa CVB.
The restaurant has a fully-equipped stage and you can catch live entertainment every Thursday night through Saturday night. As the lyrics to “I Love This Bar” dictate -there is never a cover charge and yup, beer is served in a Mason jar. On the weekends, you can be equally impressed with their “flare”tenders putting on a good show behind the bar. I’ll have to let someone else from our team blog about the food as I simply haven’t had a chance to get at some. Both times I’ve been to TK’s I was so busy running around all I could do was drool at the heavy platters of food as they whizzed by me. But, I wanted to make sure folks knew that this place caters to all – there is no dress code and honestly, you don’t have to appreciate country music (or even know who Toby Keith is for that matter) to enjoy this newest offering at Mesa Riverview. You just have to be seeking out a good time as you’ll definitely find it here – in Mesa!
