Pints + Plane Spotting

Order a couple of pints and a shareable at the Barrio Brewing outpost at Mesa Gateway Airport and watch planes taxi and land. It’s a relaxed hang with a great view.

Sample Tally For Two:
$16-$20 pints + $18-$22 shareables ≈ under $50

Tacos + Retro Games

Grab street tacos and an agua fresca at Backyard Taco; prices stay friendly even when you add chips and salsa. Then, head to Starfighters Arcade where a $14 day pass gets you unlimited retro arcade and pinball. Friday-Saturday evenings are perfect for a nostalgic date.

Sample Tally For Two:
$20-$22 tacos/sides + $28 tickets ≈ $50

Sandwiches + Improv

Share a couple of Worth Takeaway's fan-favorite sandwiches (seasoned fries, too). Then laugh it off at The Bridge Improv Theater. Online tickets start at $12. Shows run most Fridays and Saturdays.

Sample Tally For Two:
$28-$32 sandwiches/sides + $24 tickets ≈ slightly more than $50.

Sips + Stargazing

Join a ranger-led program at Usery Mountain Regional Park (watch for their stargazing nights), then wrap up with a pint at Goldwater Brewing's Mesa taproom. It's a lowkey cap to a night under the stars.

Sample Tally For Two:
$7 Park Entry + $16-$20 pints ≈ under $50

Cider + Pizza + Downtown Window Shopping

Share a hand-crafted pie at Myke's Pizza while sampling a flight of award-winning cider from Cider Corps (they share the same space). Then window-shop along Main Street. Enjoy easy parking, convenient walking and plenty of free browsing.

$16-21 pizza + $18-$24 ciders ≈ under $50

At Steadfast Diner, think smash burgers, salads with farm greens, classic pies and approachable cocktails. The diner sits steps from Steadfast Farm, so you can walk the property paths after.
