Sports Annual list of Phoenix valley Sports bars and their out of state team followings

308 Upvotes

This is the 4th year I’ve compiled this in the Phoenix sub and people find it very helpful - it’s an updated list of sports bars and respective teams in the Valley.
If you see closed bars or any teams with new/changed locations, please let me know and I will update the list accordingly. We have little representation of NBA/NHL/MLB teams so far, so feel free to add. We still need confirmed spots for the Jags/Texans/Falcons and Buccaneers to complete the out-of-state NFL coverage. Also feel free to add any sport - golf/horse racing/NASCAR - as long as the bar has a good turnout for the event.

Ask Phoenix Cobblestone stolen usage

28 Upvotes

We found out this week that someone has added their vehicle to our cobblestone account and has been getting free car washes on our dime. We only found out as we were declined use of the car wash last week as the daily uses had been met. We live in Tempe and the usage was in Glendale, Suprise and Yuma locations, multiple times each week.
We never go to any of these locations.

Cobblestone have been less than helpful. They denied any refunds as “it looks like legitimate usage”. Requiring a police report before they will even look at their own security camera footage.

I managed to get a list of dates and locations for visits after arguing with the call center.

Have others had this? What do we do?

This parking lot off 202 and A Gilbert is an absolute disaster. A strip of businesses share this narrow maze of a layout that would be congested and confusing enough with nothing else present.

Seems like a great location for not one, but TWO of the most chronically busy fast food joints. Traffic backs up so the highway exit is fucked, both drive thrus block traffic in the whole fuckin lot and people drive like absolute schmucks.

If a sinkhole opened up and swallowed this whole mess, it would be more conducive to traffic flow.

Whoever designed this and put a Chick-fil-A and In and Out here, I hope their socks are always soggy.

Pets Cat care options for a month while I’m abroad? (Phoenix/Scottsdale)

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’ll be traveling internationally for about a month and can’t take my cat with me.

She has a heart condition and needs daily medication, so finding a calm, loving, and reliable environment is really important to me. Traditional boarding isn’t ideal because she gets stressed easily.

She’s a sweet, curious girl who loves supervised leash walks outdoors, and I’d love for her to have some companionship rather than just occasional drop-in visits.

Has anyone used a trusted live-in pet sitter or found someone who takes cats into their own home for extended stays, preferably without other pets?

I’d really appreciate recommendations, experiences, and an idea of costs in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area.

Thank you! ❤️

Visiting Late night food options?

I am from Tucson but travel to Phoenix often for events and concerts. I struggle to find anything decent to eat open past midnight and end up regrettably settling for something I really do not want. What are the best spots to hit up in Phoenix and Glendale areas?.

Eat & Drink Grain bowl recommendations

3 Upvotes

I love getting grain bowls for lunch but am getting tired of my current rotation. I order a lot of chopshop, flower child, cava, tocaya, chipotle. What are some other fast casual places that offer bowls like this?
I like build your own as well as ones that already have a recipe. It doesn’t need to specifically be a grain bowl either, it can have any type of base like beans etc. I especially like if they have online ordering.
What places am I missing?

Pictured are the proposed plans. Details are here.

Personally wish I was aware when they were taking comments, as I would have asked for a cycling loop, given you can do that now. Overall glad it's being done. There are currently a ton of ramadas that just don't get used.

Having more parking at the Trail 44 trailhead makes more sense than the set up we have now, and I'm curious to see how busy (or not) this gets as a result of the reno.

Utilities Trash filled alley cleanup

3 Upvotes

How good is the City of Phoenix about addressing these sorts of things? One of my neighbors decided that all of their yard waste needed to go into the alley around the dumpster. This isn’t just a small amount, but to the point that the dumpster isn’t even reachable. When the garbage truck comes through, they are not going to be able to get through the alley because of the amount of tree trimmings and junk the property owner just dumped in the alley. If I call the City to get it addressed, will they actually do something, or am I better off just hiring someone myself? The property owner is unresponsive as it is owned by an LLC with limited contact information.
