I hadn't seen KU was here, so that's cool... Chase Field is an interesting choice to host a bowl game.
Wren House is a local favorite
Tombstone
Arizona Wilderness
Fate in Scottsdale/Tempe
OHSO has several locations around Scottsdale/Tempe/Gilbert... I don't think their regular stuff is anything special, but they make killer stouts.
Downtown-ish... Angel's Trumpet House, The Theodore, Wandering Tortoise, King's Beer & Wine (half bar with like 50 taps, half beer store). Ground Control is great, but it's out a ways from downtown. Rift Wine Bar and Tap in south Scottsdale is cool, but relatively small.
If you're here long enough for a Chiefs game, Rooster Tavern in Scottsdale is a cool Chiefs bar.
