| - This phantasmagoric establishment is highly underrated. Not only is the music incredibly hip, but so is every item on the menu - both cocktail and food.
Not to mention, their brunch from 10-2 every weekend is worth the visit.
Ideal time to come and discover the menu is during Happy Hour, when you can sample 5 of their incredible tapas for $5. A MUST TRY is the chicken lollipops with spicy buffalo sauce. Be sure to order them with the gorgonzola bleu cheese. Also of note are the street tacos, and the Frito Delight (fried cauliflower, queso fresca, and buffalo sauce)
Cocktail menu is varied and impressive, and you can't go wrong with any of their cocktails combining fresh squeezed juices and all natural ingredients. For a fabulous taste of the Southwest, try the "All natural hand crafted margarita", with El charro silver organic tequila, freshly squeezed lime and oj, and all natural agave nectar. For lighter and refreshing options there is the "Cucumber Collins" and "Cu-liad" both made with square one organic cucumber vodka and freshly squeezed lemon juice. There are more traditional cocktails like the "Dark and Stormy" and the "Hemingway", but also a dozen margaritas and various other cocktails, an impressive selection of bourbons whiskeys and scotch, as well as classic cocktails like "the manhattan".
It's a perfect place to drink, and they have prepared a snack menu along with tapas, accordingly. You will find everything from bacon wrapped chorizo stuffed dates to truffled heirloom and parmesan popcorn.
Sonoran hot dogs, Lobster and corn, kobe beef sliders...the Front Porch has something for the most discerning, or laid back palate.
Now that they have started brunch on the weekends, be expecting all of your breakfast comfort foods, and a large selection of southwestern inspired dishes such as street tacos with scrambled eggs and green chili pulled pork.
This is definitely one of my "go-to" spots for snacking, dining, and drinking, in Tempe's Mill Avenue district.
