If you’re feeling fancy this historic, upscale but cozy restaurant offers an exquisite food selection consisting of contemporary American cuisine.

2. Culinary Dropout at The Yard
The perfect laid-back scene for a post-grad celebration. You can snag a one-of-a-kind cocktail from the bar, play some ping pong on the outside patio and try some of their delicious gastro-pub fares. This is the one place where Deviant Behavior is a really good thing (it's the name of a drink, of course!).
Like beer? Then this is this place for you. Treat yourself to an award-winning brew while enjoying one of the best patios in Downtown Tempe. Plenty of room to wave around your mortar board and take pics.
This delicious vegan restaurant hidden away in the beautiful bougainvillea-laced courtyard in the Shops on Mill at 414 S. Mill Avenue is only open Monday through Friday from 11 am - 4 pm. Hyper-local, woman-owned, ever-changing daily menu, mostly gluten free. A place to celebrate your mind, body and accomplishments! Enjoy 11.11% off during graduation week for grads and their families.
If you’re in the mood to party, but still looking for something appropriate for Mom and Dad this might be the venue for you. Great for lunch or dinner and a place to dance the night away with your friends and family. Try out Rodeo Ranch Bar on the first floor or the One One Rooftop Bar for great urban views. Speaking of rooftops - check out Skysill Rooftop Lounge at the Westin Tempe from 5 - 8 pm on May 8 for a multi-piece band!
Another parent-friendly venue offering sing-a-long style live music all night long. So fun, so fun!
Tip: Want to save some time? Call ahead to make a reservation - it gets super busy downtown this time of year.
