http://www.karambanightclub.com The expansive dance floor at this gay Latin dance club is almost always packed with bodies, whether it's boys dancing with boys, gals getting down with other gals, and various other combinations. Although the crowd here is Latino-heavy, it gets downright ethnically diverse during frenzied weekend events, when folks of every race and sexual orientation dance until dawn.

http://www.kobaltbarphoenix.com When the businesses dotting Park Central Mall lock their doors tight when the workday’s done, the party’s just getting started at Kobalt. Owners Bryon Wiley and Robert Mancuso keep things going and the liquor flowing at their popular blue-themed gay lounge, one the ritziest in the Valley, until the dreaded last call arrives to spoil the fun. There’s a voluminous amount of intoxicants to choose from until the staff flips the killjoy switch, however, such as 23 different beers and an army of premium spirits eager to invade the invade the liver or get mixed into any of Kobalt’s 26 fabulous and flamboyant signature specialty martinis. Most are of a sweet variety, including those mimicking Strawberry Yoo-Hoo or Black Forest cake, while a handful brandish monikers of the employee (like the Drewberry or Va-Gina) that dreamt ‘em up. Fresh-popped popcorn is usually available to go along with all the alcoholic, but only if the bartenders can pull themselves away from cocktail conjuring long enough to make a batch.

http://www.legendsarizona.com Formerly Coach & Willies Phoenix's pro sports franchises have a way of stomping all over your heart. Either they'll come close to winning the big one, only to find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, or won't even contend at all. Suffice it to say, the barkeeps at this downtown establishment, located near both U.S. Airways Center and Chase Field, know how to whip up something strong to take the edge off the agony of defeat. Around a dozen different import and domestic beers are on tap at the gorgeous marble-topped bar (including Widmer Hefeweizen, Samuel Adams, Sierra Nevada, and Dos Equus), and the pour is reasonably strong on their mixed drinks, especially on such standards as the Tequila Sunrise, gin and tonic, and Long Islands. A full menu of comfort pub grub is also available, ranging from burgers and wraps (the bourbon steak is our favorite) to pastas and pizzas. Read more about this Phoenix bar or club >>
http://www.thelostleaf.org The folks behind The Lost Leaf are pretty sincere about their beer. The bohemian-style drinkery/gallery, housed in a vintage 1930s-era domicile, offers a selection of more than 100 different kinds of ales, lagers, stouts, and other intoxicating brews available by the bottle. If that isn't enough to wet your whistle, the Lost Leaf also serves a host of wines, meads, and even sake, to boot. If you can tear yourself away from the bar, check out the pulchritudinous paintings and other outstanding works of art hanging on the walls, or enjoy nightly performances by a variety of musicians and bands.

http://www.bowlluckystrike.com "Upscale" and "bowling alley" aren't words that you often hear in the same sentence. Until Lucky Strike Lanes opened at CityScape, that is. This California-based chain isn't your typical bowling alley, full of church groups and old people smoking cigarettes in a dingy lounge. Nope, Lucky Strike is far more posh. A dozen lanes for rolling are outfitted with flat screens and plush couches. There are two full bars, three pool tables, free Wi-Fi, and of course, a full menu of upscale bar food. If you plan to visit on a Friday or Saturday night, be prepared to wait. Live DJs and exceptional service should make the time fly by, however. Read more about this Phoenix bar or club >>
http://www.majerles.com Fifteen years after its downtown location threw open its doors, the new Majerle's Sports Grill in Chandler offers the same friendly staff serving up quality food, refreshing drinks and good times in stylish and comfortable digs. The state-of-the-art audio/video system and cool patio is a great place to dig into Cory's Old School Nachos, warm tortilla chips covered with spicy ground beef, homemade cheese sauce, then topped with green onions, black olives and sliced jalapeños, served with homemade salsa and sour cream. Or check out the popular Slam Dunk Shrimp, yummy tempura shrimp tossed in wing sauce and served with celery, carrot sticks and buttermilk ranch dressing. Score!

http://www.mateoscantina.com/mateoshome.html Bumping and thumping with Latin beats and boasting a festive atmosphere four nights a week, Mateo's is like the rowdier brother of its adjacent sister restaurant Sylvia's La Canasta. Decked out with a colorful cornucopia of Chicano artwork, Spanish colonial décor, and unique antiques, this lounge-like party playground offers live entertainment and more than two-dozen different tequilas. During the daytime, specials on Mexican brews are offered while both fútbol and football are broadcast on numerous televisions. On Fridays, the place becomes the stomping ground for local office workers looking to loosen up their ties, kick off their heels, and enjoy the fun of happy hour. As dusk draws the day into night, however, the nightlife starts to arrive, including guys dressed in sharper duds and ladies clad in clingier club clothing. DJs begin pumping the sound system full of old school, hip-hop, merengue, and cumbia hits, and the dance floor begins generating a serious buzz of activity as patrons shake their collective moneymakers all night.

http://www.modified.org Despite all the rumors to the contrary, Modified Arts ain't dead. While its proprietors recently decided to change the establishment's focus to more of an art gallery than a music venue (and thus, eliminate the sort of rock and indie shows that it regularly featured over the past decade), the Roosevelt Row institution will still host occasional bands and musicians, although they'll be more of an experimental or genre-challenging sort.

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Monarch-Theatre/151721091624098 Patrons of The Monarch Theatre seem to frequently contract dance fever whenever beats begin blasting out of its in-house wall of sound. Each victim at this downtown Phoenix dance emporium has their own individual symptoms: some folks start to shimmy, others begin to bounce, while the rest wind up merely pumping fists or bobbing heads as fast as the BPM will allow. The diversity of boogaloos being busted withing the confines of its 7,000-square-foot dance floor tends to encompass a wide variety of electronic dance music during any particular week. If it’s a UK Thursday event, you can expect a skull-shaking auditory assault of dubstep, glitch, or drum ‘n’ bass. When the Solstice crew puts up a special event, expect hours of progressive or deep house. Touring DJs that visit also bring laptops and hard drive full of everything from electro-house and trance to psychedelic, nu-disco, and other atmospheric jams. If anyone’s beat their feet into submission, however, various booths and posh seating opposite of the bar is waiting. Read more about this Phoenix bar or club >>
http://phoenix.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/index.jsp?icamp=phoenixhyattredirect Politicians and power brokers are known to congregate at Networks, as are professional athletes, office workers, and well-heeled housewives. You'll immediately notice a suit-and-tie crowd chatting on cell phones over their drinks, and, upon closer look, you'll notice a more eclectic crowd of tourists and downtown denizens gathering at Networks, too. Located off the lobby in the Hyatt Regency, Networks also has cigars available (to smoke outside, of course), an amenity that accentuates a room already steeped in a button-up sort of elegance. Cherry wood décor and granite bar tops help class up the place, too. Stop by after a hard day at work for the happy hour, when $3.50 domestic drafts and $4 wells are available. The specials may just be enough for you to seal that deal or find your next business partner. Read more about this Phoenix bar or club >>
http://www.ozphx.com With the only nod to its name being a poster of Dorothy and her friends hanging in the front entryway, the surroundings of this land of Oz are less Emerald City and more leather-rimmed bar, beer logo mirrors, and Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" blaring from the jukebox. It all makes sense, considering this is a joint that likens itself to the gay bar version of Cheers. Underneath a sparkling asphalt-like ceiling hanging over the bar, the mostly male crowd of gay northside locals kicks back and orders up cheap brews or food brought in from a nearby wine burger joint. With a small but hopping patio scene near a row of scooters, projection TV, and a happy hour from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day, the Oz Bar may not be lined with yellow bricks, but at least it ain't Kansas, honey.

http://www.bunkhousesaloon.com Although Pat O's Bunkhouse is a hotspot for big, burly, bearded gay guys, the sign outside reads, "Open. Everybody is welcome" -- and it's true. A wide assortment of LGBT types visit here for such weekly events as Texas Hold 'Em on Mondays and Tuesdays, karaoke on Wednesdays, and the always outrageous Underwear Night on Thursdays.

http://www.myspace.com/phxplazma A video bar, drinkery, and nightspot all rolled into one, Plazma is a quaint hangout for the LGBT community, tucked away just off 16th Street, providing a cool haven to shoot pool, chat over drinks, and even suck down colorful Jello shots from plastic syringes. When the jukebox isn't bumping out techno or pop diva hits (which is often) the multiple plasma TVs are showing videos and campy movies. The weekly Plazma Playhouse also features performances by such gender-bending female illusionists and drag queens such as Afeelya Bunz, with numerous drink specials on tap nightly.

Pomeroy's is a straightforward dive, good for long nights of casual drinking with no sniveling allowed, as per the sign hanging prominently on one wall. Walk into this darkened drinking den on any given night and witness regulars huddled together in groups of three or four, swapping stories, trading jokes, and sucking down $2.75 pints of PBR and Rolling Rock. Hang out long enough and they might just invite you to join the revelry, challenge you to a game of pool, or encourage carving something into the long wooden bar that's littered with names, random phrases, and curse words. The whip-smart barkeeps don't seem to mind it when patrons make their mark, though they seemingly maintain control over any rabble-rousers. They'll also serve you plenty of greasy-but-good cuisine that's available from the kitchen - try the green chili burritos and the joint's signature grilled cheese sandwich - food that's perfect for soaking up any excess alcohol.

http://www.blissonfourth.com Catering to the more arty and fashion-conscious, drop-in-then-drive-out crowd of downtown Phoenix, ReBar is the latest effort from the crew behind Fez and Switch. The joint's shared patio with adjacent eatery Bliss (when you arrive, be sure to hang a left to get to the bar) is a big draw, as are its top-shelf drink selections. Tree coverage and a unique outdoor bar made from actual rebar (hence the establishment's name) in the shape of a sprouting palm offer both shade and a surprising amount of coziness. Meanwhile, the inside bar jams on Top 40 hits and slings out handcrafted cocktails in martini glasses alongside house wine blends. Time your visits well, as the west-facing patio and surrounding vacant lots can make for some intense sunsets. Or maybe it's just another reason to order another lavender-and-grapefruit-infused Passionately Purple martini. And if you're looking for the restroom, head straight back to that big green wall and keep an eye out for what looks like a secret door, or the crowd of people waiting outside it.

http://www.therecoveryroom.org Owner John Kunst and his daughter Shannon know there's nothing like family when it comes to providing pub-style pick-me-ups to friends in need. For over 25 years, the duo has been serving up cold drinks and satisfying sustenance to loyal, old-school locals in the form of daily drink deals, 99-cent lunches, and John's signature chili on Sundays. (Its secret? He makes it with whatever he has in the fridge.) With an easygoing, open atmosphere and entertainment a go-go, including big-screen Rock Band at the ready, the folks at the Recovery Room will make sure you're taken care of like kin.

http://www.revolveraz.com As one of the precious few independent record stores in the Valley, Steve Zimmerman and TJ Jordan's music emporium has become a beloved stomping ground for local audiophiles and vinyl junkies. Besides boasting a plethora of platters (as well as enough CDs, music ephemera, and memorabilia to rival your neighborhood Zia's), Revolver also draws in music fans during the number of live shows it hosts every month. First Friday usually sees a handful of rock, punk, and ska bands performing outside, while the weekly "Outer Bounds of Sound" affair on Sundays features eclectic and experimental musicians doing their thing inside. Be sure not to trip over their microphone cables while hunting for an unscratched copy of We're Only in It for the Money. Read more about this Phoenix bar or club >>
http://www.rhythmroom.com Jumping and jiving every night of the week, the Rhythm Room has long served as the Valley's best joint to catch performances from blues, jazz, and roots musicians. Since opening its doors in 1992, owner (and Valley blues guru) Bob Corritore has booked plenty of legends from those down-home genres over the years, including such venerated names as Pinetop Perkins, Sanford Clark, and the late Chico Chism. Rock acts are also a popular draw , including a wealth of local and touring indie acts that have been featured in recent years. Behind the bar (and behind the scenes) you'll find the always-cheerful manager Mona Lisa, who can not only pour you a stiff one, but also leave you in stitches with her tales of customers both famous or otherwise.

http://www.therockdmphoenix.com There are a number of LGBT-oriented hot spots in CenPho's Grandview neighborhood, and this cozy joint may be one of the most laid-back of the bunch. The main bar area has a touch of modern swankiness, and the cheerful staff is happy to pour you a pint from the standard selection of taps. The Rock's mixed drinks are cheap but pack a punch. Boasting a patio, a rec room for darts and video games, and a performance showroom in addition to the bar, The Rock is damn near a clubhouse for all the interests of its diverse clientele. Various nights include karaoke, darts league, stand-up comedy, and poker. Weekends get busy with regulars coming out for Valley drag diva icon Barbara Seville's weekly performances, as well as various female illusionist shows and charity benefit performances in rotation.

http://www.roscoeson7th.com This athletic-themed CenPho gay bar is typically packed with both sports spectators and participants alike, as Roscoes sponsors several local rec league teams and hosts weekly pool tournaments. Trophies upon trophies adorn one corner of the establishment and celebrate the achievements of these weekend warriors, while the pennants for local pro teams dotting the walls show off Roscoes' support for hometown heroes. During football season, the joint opens at 10 a.m. on weekends for the early games, and various happy hour specials are offered throughout the week, such as two-for-one cocktails and domestic beers on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The bartenders usually wear referee jerseys, and aren't afraid to cite patrons who perpetrate party fouls. Read more about this Phoenix bar or club >>
