Night Life

Double down at the blackjack table or double over at the comedy club. Dance to pulsing beats or pump your fist to falling pins. There's plenty of unadulterated fun to be had in Greater Phoenix, which is a hotbed for casinos , nightclubs and live music .

Old Town Scottsdale is known for its bars, clubs, lounges and restaurants in a well-rounded repertoire of nightlife. There are bars like Maloney's and Drift for the casual crowd, while dance clubs such as Devil's Martini , Axis/Radius and Suede turn up the beat – and the glam. Kazimierz Wine Bar has a hidden entrance, but once inside, it's a relaxing spot for a glass of wine, while Martini Ranch is the go-to for live music. But these are only some of the best places in Old Town. Just strolling the streets gives plenty of people-watching and excitement.

Central Phoenix has some hot spots that the locals know as their favorite places around. The Vig is an indoor/outdoor restaurant and bar that blends casual with sophisticated. With a bocce ball court, live bands, and fireplaces, there's always something new to do. Postino Wine Café is also known for their outdoors-inside space, and Merc Bar is a dark lounge that takes swanky to a whole new level.

Tempe is home to the main ASU campus, but also Mill Avenue, a brick street with bars built for a crowd young at heart. The Tempe Improv hosts some of the biggest names in comedy – and local shows – while The Big Bang piano bar turns a dark basement into one of the most lively and talented crowds in the state.
