Guidebook for Chandler
Drinks & Nightlife
Our personal fave - The Perch is something truly unique in the East Valley. This pub and brewery is also home to around 40 rescue birds--hence the name. So you can eat, sip and chat with some winged friends right around you. Amazing craft beers and food too!

If you're into floating down the river with your friends whil'st enjoying refreshing beverages (bring a cooler and lots of rope!) - you'll LOVE this experience! Also bring an old sheet (from the thrift store, NOT our linen closet!) to cover your tube so you don't burn your buns. Not really appropriate for young kids, it can get rowdy!

Entertainment & Activities
Feel like you've walked into the Old West at Rawhide Western Town! Strap on those cowboy (or cowgirl) boots and ride down the dusty roads on a real stagecoach. There are a bunch of shops that sell upscale Western souvenirs and knickknacks. They also have a live stunt show, a mechanical bull, petting zoo and panning for gold. Since we're talking about food, you don't want to miss the steakhouse (or the fried rattlesnake).
