After dinner, I usually stop by Collins Irish Pub for a pint of Guinness. There’s something familiar about that spot — comfortable, a little lively, and the perfect way to finish off a great night.
I’m not much of a breakfast guy, so Saturday starts early on the course. I like to book a morning tee time at Elephant Rocks Golf Course or Continental Country Club, depending on the vibe. The mountain views, fresh air, and relaxed pace — it’s hands-down my favorite way to kick off the day and catch up with friends.

After the round, I’ll stop in for lunch at Proper Meats + Provisions. Their sandwiches are solid, the ingredients are local, and the whole place has that Flagstaff neighborhood feel. It’s quick, simple, and hits every time.

Dinner that evening? I keep it close to downtown and go with Karma Sushi. It’s got that sleek but chill energy, perfect for date night. I usually pick a few rolls, order sake, and just enjoy a slow, relaxed meal. If I’m craving ramen, their Mucho Midori Ramen is hands-down my favorite in town — it hits every time.
We usually wrap up the night at Rendezvous at the Monte Vista. There’s something moody and cool about it — dim lights, strong cocktails, and just enough buzz around you to feel like you’re out without being overwhelmed. It’s a solid nightcap every time.

Sunday is more relaxed. I’ll usually sleep in a little and then grab an early lunch at Swaddee Thai Cuisine. It’s fast, flavorful, and one of those spots where you can sit down and still be in and out without rushing. I always go for the drunken noodles or green curry — both are fire.
If we’re feeling social, we’ll rally a group and head to Starlite Lanes for some bowling and beers. It’s fun, easy, and doesn’t take itself too seriously — exactly what you want on a laid-back second day.
