Phoenix is a fast moving and very fast growing city so when Phoenicians are looking to let their hair down and unwind, they also have some of one of the best bar scenes in the country to take advantage of. Here we'll take a look at some of the best bars in town where you can kick back and relax in some of the best bars in town without having to worry about whether you have to try them all to find a good one for you.
The Merc Bar - Phoenix
This is a dark and almost hidden bar which is highly popular with the upscale over-30's crowd as well as being the hang out for several celebrities and pro-athletes based in the city. Greg Wheeler designed the Merc Bar and remains the owner today which boasts a specialist Martini that will knock your socks off. It has a relaxed atmosphere for an upscale venue and you will find the dress code to be smart casual with great looking patrons as well as great music that transcends the hip-hop techno teeny kid scene.
This is a bar for grown-ups looking for a good time.
Yucca Tap Room -Tempe
This is the bar to go hang out in when you are looking for great local bands and a rough house feel. Though it has the "old man's" hangout tag, don't let that fool you - there is a great welcoming crowd of rowdies, professionals and musicians and though you can enjoy a beer in peace don't expect it to be quiet! In addition to the live entertainment, you can also enjoy some of the most arcane bar games ever invented at the Yucca where Rednecks cross swords with Hippy regulars and Bikers dancing with businessmen. The Yucca is a bar for all seasons and people and is a place to kick back, enjoy a drink or three and soak in the local ambience.
Jackrabbit Supper Club - Scottsdale
This is a small but very popular venue which crosses burlesque nightclub performances and va-va-voom showgirls with an upscale nightclub for dancing and socializing. The showgirls are classically trained dancers and the whole venue stops to watch the performances while there is outdoor seating to chill out and still enjoy the music provided by the live band. The Jackrabbit also operates a door policy which does not allow anyone in - dress to impress only!
Amsterdam - Phoenix
You'll find Amsterdam in downtown Phoenix and this is a luxurious establishment though a newcomer to the Phoenix/Valley bar scene. This is an upscale watering hole with marble floors and ornate furnishings while your ears will not be pounded with loud urban music that prevents a conversation from taking place. There is also a piano bar where you can get signature drink specialties such as the watermelon and appletini. The Amsterdam also has become the play away home for female illusionists looking to hone their act in between Las Vegas appearances and you will find a wide variety of quality entertainment under their roof.
