The Historic of Downtown Chandler Promenade? Well, I do not know much of it since I have only visited it at least 3-4 times, but it does give me the vibe of the Wild Wild West feeling. Not too much of it since the older buildings got renewed and now looks more of a modern look.
If you check out their downtown webpage, http://downtownchandler.org/ there's events/festivals and farmers market which happens on every Thursday from 3pm to 7 pm! If you're looking for ap place to grab a drink
SanTan Brewing Company - http://www.yelp.com/biz/santan-brewing-company-chandler
- Pretty popular and chilled
Coach & Willie's - http://www.yelp.com/biz/coach-and-willies-chandler
- Seems to be a sports bar. Pretty cool hang out place if you're with your fellas. And I believe they have Brunches over the weekend. maybe they have unlimited dranks ;)
As you can see, the downtown website does have sections for food, shop, and play. Explore a bit and keep hydrated all!
p.s - Funny story, when we came to downtown chandler to visit during Christmas, then town had a Christmas tree made out of tumbleweed http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/historic-downtown-chandler-promenade-chandler?select=aFFDwBnhwWQfZ6o1yL66pw#aFFDwBnhwWQfZ6o1yL66pw and the reason why is because kids would actually burn down the actual tree. That is why they kept it as a tumbleweed tree instead of a the real kind. At least kids will be burning something that can be replaced unlike an natural Christmas tree.
