Mac Alpine Diner and Soda Fountain

This is truly a Phoenix Treasure. Opened in 1928 as Birch Pharmacy and Soda Fountain. The soda fountain was the center of social activity of all ages. Fred MacAlpine , bought the pharmacy and soda fountain in 1938. MacAlpine is one of the few soda fountains remaining in the US.
If these walls could talk, they would tell tales about how hard the young newspaper boy worked to earn 10 cents for an old-fashioned malt and of the many “regulars” that purchased their Burma Shave or Prince Albert (in a can) here. Throughout the years, customers included Frank Lloyd Wright, Barry Goldwater, Wayne Newton, Winnie Ruth Judd, John McCain, and Rose Mofford.
Now, MacAlpine’s remains the community’s favorite neighborhood joint, still serving up classic favorites like a burger and fries to old-fashioned ice cream sodas. Their award-winning pies are from Amish recipes and are delicious and memorable
