Alter Ego is a ground floor restaurant and bar where every day is about celebrating life and living in the moment. We never take ourselves too seriously, yet are always prepared to rise to the occasion. We have an appreciation for the rich history and heritage of Tempe and will look to add a fun twist of flair to make room for new memories for generations to come. We are a little tongue and cheek, yet will always make you feel special.

Country Western Night at Alter Ego Tempe 🤠🎨

We’re painting Mystic Desert together: desert trees in deep purples and blues, warm oranges and reds bleeding across the sky, sunset on a planet that isn’t quite ours.

Bring the denim. Bring the fringe. Grab a Wh***ey Sour and settle in. I’ve hosted well over a thousand of these nights, so wherever you’re starting from, I’ll meet you there and we’ll build it up brushstroke by brushstroke. No experience required, just a good mood.

Alter Ego’s menu is its own adventure too, with Asian-inspired plates alongside the classics.

You’ll walk out with a painting you actually want to hang up.

We've added a 2nd night! ✨ A Court of Thorns and Roses: An Enchanted Five-Course Dinner ✨

Step into the Night Court for one night only. This immersive dinner draws on the sensuality, danger, and fae magic of Sarah J. Maas's beloved series, pairing five original courses with five curated drinks inspired by the world's courts and characters — from the icy elegance of the Winter Court to the wild, feral energy of the Night Court.

📅 November 13th | 🕕 6:00 PM
Location: Alibi Rooftop Lounge

The Experience:
Five chef-crafted courses inspired by the story's key moods and settings
Five thoughtfully paired drinks (w**e, cocktails, or mocktails) echoing each course's theme
Ambient styling and storytelling touches woven throughout the evening

This year, let us do the cooking. 🦃

Join us on Thanksgiving Day for a three-course traditional feast — $59 per adult.

Start with an autumn berry or classic Caesar salad. Then the main event: slow-roasted marinated turkey with traditional gravy, sage brioche stuffing, garlic mashed potatoes, honey-glazed carrots, cranberry-orange relish, and warm dinner rolls with whipped butter. Finish with basque cheesecake or a bourbon pecan tart.

Every dish prepared in-house by our culinary team. No prep, no cleanup, no dishes in the sink at 9pm.

Available Thanksgiving Day only. Our full regular menu will be served alongside it for anyone in your party who'd rather order off the standard menu.

Due to high demand, we’ve decided to add a second night! Here’s your chance to book your reservation for our chefs themed dinner on October 23, 2026.

Step through the gates of Halloween Town for five meticulously crafted courses inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas, each paired with a hauntingly delightful drink conjured up from Jack Skellington’s own cauldron. From eerie appetizers worthy of Oogie Boogie’s lair to darkly decadent desserts fit for Santa Jack himself, this dinner promises an unforgettable journey through a world where the strange, the spooky, and the wonderfully unusual come to life on your plate.

$89 per person, plus tax and gratuity. Book on Open Table using the link in our bio.

Please note any dietary restrictions in your reservation, and we’ll do our best to accommodate — even Sally knows a thing or two about substitutions. Cancellations within 7 days of the event will not be refunded — this is Halloween Town, after all, and once the cauldron’s bubbling, there’s no turning back.
