Nobody puts Baby in a corner, or lets a good glass of bubbly go to waste. Travel back to 1987, the year Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze made movie-goers swoon, as Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Tempe puts a Champagne twist on the film
Dirty Dancing. You’ll get an Alamo champagne glass and free bubbly pour when you attend the screening for this iconic flick on Monday, May 10, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $21.09.

Swing Night
As more venues reopen, you’ll have more chances to really get back into the swing of things. Over at The Duce, they’re taking the idea more literally than most, continuing their tradition of swing dance nights, when patrons can don their swing-era inspired fashion and learn some new dance moves. The next South Central Swing Night happens on Wednesday, May 12, when lessons start at 7 p.m. and the dancing starts at 8 p.m. There’s a $10 cover.

Sauvage Bottle Shop 901 North First Street, #109
Sauvage Bottle Shop is Chris Lingua s wine store inside The Churchill, and it s great. It contains the most thrilling selection of wine and wine-adjacent bottles in town. Lingua sells low-intervention wines, meaning natural-leaning bottles. This is progressive stuff, the opposite of your sleepy industrial cab from Napa. Lingua stocks biodynamic ciders, orange wines from the Puglia avant-garde producer Valentina Passalacqua, and experimental cocktails canned by alums of the groundbreaking Danish restaurant Noma.
The Montecito Bottle Shop 704 West Montecito Avenue Last fall, The Montecito Bottle Shop opened inside a middle suite in the Wagon Wheel Building in the Melrose District. The wine, beer, and cider shop is right next door to Restaurant Progress, which is convenient since it s run by the same small team. That means it carries the same simple, elegant vibe as its neighbor. Current picks include Florèz Wines Sa
