Hey man, I moved to Tempe to go to ASU a few years back. Mesa is pretty dull, so you ll probably be going to Tempe and Scottsdale for most of your fun.Best places in Tempe are Casey Moore s and Barney s Boathouse. They are totally chill bars with lots of outdoor seating and a really casual atmosphere (not like those clubs on Mill Ave). They are both really close to ASU too, so you ll meet tons of people around your age too (plus the ASU girls are so hot).I never got up to Scottsdale much, but there are some nice places around old town Scottsdale. They re a bit more trendy though.You might also want to check out the website meetup.com. When I first moved to Arizona, I didn t know anyone. This website will tell you about different groups in your area that meet up regularly to talk about specific interests. The Phoenix area is pretty big, so there should be groups for you nearby no matter what you re into. I met some great people this way.Hope this helps.
