The Best Restaurants and Bars in Uptown Phoenix
When I first moved to Phoenix, I started one day in downtown and just drove north on Central til the end. Buildings, shops, neighborhoods, everything.

And now, so many years later, it’s better than ever, with a ton of amazing food options dotting the area.
