Jackson's on 3rd

Who needs to wait in line for a beer when Jackson's has a hot beer tub girl ready to fill that mug for you? However, Jackson's is not just a great dance club. They are also known for being a good sports bar too. Can you ask for more coverage of the big game? Great food and drinks makes Jackson's the hot spot in downtown Phoenix.

Rack Shack BBQ

Maybe pumping beats are not your thing, well you cool cat, and the Rack Shack BBQ has just the place for you. Not just barbecue, but great rhythm and blue for you. Cozy on up with a plate of Pork Spare Ribs and hear some great live music.

Martini Ranch

This isn't your typical "ranch" with horses and cowboys well ok maybe a few cowboys. Martini Ranch has been serving martinis and live music for over 12 years. With major headliners like Coldplay and Avril Lavigne, you are sure to hear something that tickles your musical palette. There are two sections to this night-time destination. One is the lounge and 2 bars where you can relax have a drink and good conversation, or upstairs the Shaker Room with high-octane dancing. Either way Martini Ranch will tucker you out after a night of fun.

Hidden House Cocktail Lounge

Who cares what you're wearing or what you look like? At Hidden House, it is come as you are, dance how you like. Here it is all about great music and having a bit of fun. On weekends they feature Hip Hop music, but during the week there is something different every night. If you don't care that you're not in designer clothes, we don't either.

607 W Osborn Rd
Phoenix, AZ

Good music, great food, awesome drinks are what nightlife in Phoenix is all about. Not getting home until 6 in the morning because you are having so much fun is easy to do in one of these clubs. The hard part is choosing which one will suit you the best. Happy Dancing!
