Gift Ideas for Phoenix Dads

Looking for the perfect gift for Dad for this Father’s Day?  I’ve got a few ideas if he likes to eat out, play golf, or just laugh all night long.

Give Dad a night off from the backyard barbecue and take him for a night on the town for a big juicy prime rib at Don & Charlie’s.

A guy’s paradise overflowing with all types of sports memorabilia, Don & Charlie’s has been packing ‘em in since 1981.  They serve everything from pasta and seafood to barbecue ribs and steaks.  In honor of Father’s Day, all dads who dine at Don and Charlie’s on Sunday, June 20 receive a complimentary 10-ounce cut of prime rib and his choice of side, with the purchase of an entree of equal or greater value. Reservations are required.

If your dad is a die-hard golfer then show how much you appreciate him with 8 rounds of golf on Camelback’s signature Padre Course. Part of the famous Camelback Inn, a AAA Five Diamond resort, the Padre Course is known for its strategic layout, challenging water holes, one of which at the 18th hole was voted the best water hole in the state by Arizona Golf Magazine.  For $199 the Camelback Loyalty Card includes:

Does Dad have a lot of tacky ties from previous Father’s Day celebrations?  Then have him wear his cheesiest design at a performance at the National Comedy Theatre in Mesa.  The Phoenix National Comedy Theatre Show is a comedy competition and as a member of the audience you get to shout out suggestions, challenge the performers, and decide which team of comedians is the funniest.  No two shows are alike and the best part is that they are appropriate for all audiences.

The Cheesy Tie Discount is available to attendees wearing a cheesy tie to the Father’s Day weekend performances.  Receive $2 off admission and use coupon code DADTI when making your online reservations.
