"In downtown Tempe, Canopy Hotel’s lush rooftop bar offers a prime place to cool off, enjoy a few drinks, and take in a knee-weakening view. From your 14th-story perch, you behold a stunning, 180-degree vista of Tempe’s buildings, open desert, and far mountains. This pool is intimate. While sitting in the shade or sun, snack on ceviche, ahi tuna nachos, kimchi wontons, and other snacks. Cocktails lean experimental, with nearly all using a Mexican spirit (tequila, mezcal, sotol, or raicilla). Check out “It was just growing there,” which combines sotol, aloe, lemon, honey, and a Cynar mist." - Chris Malloy
