Thanksgiving Eve at Coach House in Scottsdale

Holiday Décor at Bars

It might not feel like the holidays in the Valley, especially if you come from somewhere snowy, but a lot of places go to lengths to create winter wonderlands. Must sees include the following: the dive-y Coach House  in old town Scottsdale takes decorating to a new level, covering every inch of the bar in ornaments, tinsel, colored lights, wrapping paper and candy canes. You will feel like a wide-eyed kid walking into the bar for the first time- trust us. AZ88, also in Old Town, always makes headlines with its unique trees, designed by Janis Leonard. One year, it was made out of Barbie dolls in jars of colored liquid. Last year, it was broken martini glasses.
