Timeline
16:11
Pick up a coffee or light bite at Cup Cafe. It is open from 07:00 to 22:00, so you have plenty of time to grab something before the evening rush.
16:53
Walk 12 minutes from the Arizona Theatre Company to Vista Del Pueblo Park. This spot looks WSW, directly into the path of the setting sun. Find a comfortable seat on the grass or a bench to watch the sky change color.
18:26
Head back toward downtown and stop at Old Town Artisans. The shop is open until 5:30 PM on January 15, giving you just enough time to browse their Mexican and Arizona crafts before it closes.
18:56
Dine at Coronet Restaurant. It opens at 5 PM and stays open until 9 PM. Order a cocktail and a classic dish while the city lights come on around you.
19:56
End the night at O'Malley's Bar and Grill. It is the largest and liveliest bar on 4th Avenue. Expect a line and a crowd after 10 PM, but the pool tables and dance floor make it a great place to wind down.
Local tip
Vista Del Pueblo is a quiet escape with a clear view of the sunset. If you want to avoid the crowds at O'Malley's, arrive before 10 PM or be prepared to wait for a table.
