Cubbie Spring Training-Mesa
 

My girlfriends and I are going to see our beloved Cubbies play during spring training in Mesa, AZ-- we will be there the 1st weekend in March. We are staying in Mesa at the Holiday Inn Suites- we'll want to find a watering hole after the game on Saturday... is there anything going on in Mesa as far as nightlife goes? How far is Tempe from there? Can we take a cab for a reasonable amount of $$? Any suggestions for a bar to go to? We like places that are somewhat low-key, fun, local joints- good food, good tunes- no "clubs". <BR>Thanks, and GO CUBS!!

Jen, I don't know how long you will be here but I would highly suggest renting a car. It is a very spread out city. There really isn't anything going on in Mesa as far as nightlife so I would suggest driving into Mill Avenue in Tempe. That way you can wander from place to place until you find one that suits you.

ok, second try... <BR>Thanks, Deb-- we really don't want to rent a car, mostly because we don't want to have to drive after having several beers at the ballpark or at a bar... any idea what a cab to Tempe would cost us? How far from Mesa is it- I remember it being about 10-15 miles, but it's been a few years since I've been there and I could be way off. <BR>Thanks again!

to the top for the Cubs!

bringing this to the top--I am going there this spring as well and would be interested in any info on the area...

I'll top this one last time...any Arizonans out there who can help?? <BR>Thanks!

my guess is 8-10 miles will get you to Mill Avenue in Tempe; where you can find a number of watering holes. After spending 4-6 dollars per beer and 3 bucks for dogs, the 10-15 dollar fare shouldnt be too bad. <BR>If the Tribune would spend half as much money on their team as their fans do, the Cubs might be worth cheering for...until then, they're pathetic!
