    A longtime favorite of the Phoenix gay scene, Apollo’s is the kind of bar where you can have a few beers and hang with a diverse selection of drinkers.

Check out this raucous roadhouse located at the ass end of the Valley in Apache Junction, where a number of good ol’ boy bands and musicians do the pickin’ and grinnin’ thing every night of the week. Arizona Joes is definitely the place to hang if you’re a cowboy (or wanna feel like one), with an array of western hats stapled to the wall, ice cold Budweiser and Coors available by the bottle, and ample parking where you can stow your pickup truck.

    Phoenix, AZ 85004
    602-229-1265
    http://www.barsmithphoenix.com
    While the lower level of this glossy downtown Phoenix hangout is more of a slick-looking eatery (boasting a killer red and black color scheme), the second floor is devoted to DJ music and dancing. Heavenly-looking honeys mix and mingle, blowing off half-assed hookup attempts from dudes operating way out of their league, while talented turntablists work the wheels of steel from an elevated area. Saturday are the domain of the popular Solstice dance night with spinsters working both levels.

    602-938-9330
    http://www.barwinkles.com
    Barwinkles is a laidback neighborhood joint that’s tucked away in a Glendale strip mall and is the kind of establishment where everybody knows your name.

  • The Big Bang
    501 S. Mill Ave.
    Tempe, AZ 85281
    480-557-5595
    http://www.thebigbangbarstore.com
    Located below The Library, the Big Bang touts itself as "an underground dueling piano bar." Patrons provide as much entertainment as the pianists, getting onstage to dance and sing along. A high level of audience participation, combined with the pianists' campy humor, creates the aura of a cheesy lounge high on nitrous oxide, seven nights a week.
  • Big Fish Pub
    1954 E. University Dr.
    Tempe, AZ 85281
    480-449-3474
    http://www.myspace.com/azbigfish

These days it features a versatile and varied lineup of live music during the week and especially on weekends. The line-ups range from hard rockers unleashing power chords and massive licks one evening, to hip-hop artists spitting funky rhymes the next.

    Phoenix, AZ 85028
    602-788-4574
    http://www.thebloozebar.com
    In case you couldn’t tell by the racing posters on the wall, cars are kinda king at this north Phoenix neighborhood bar. Badass NASCAR fans gather here to cheer on their favorite drivers whenever the sport is in season, and there’s a popular Rockabilly Night every Thursday, with music from local bands like the Hardways and the Rhythm Dragons. Hepcat greasers and members of local car clubs like the Invaders usually bring along their vintage dragsters and cherry rides to the night, creating an impromptu road show in the parking lot.
  • Bobby C's Restaurant
    1140 E. Washington St.
    Phoenix, AZ 85034
    602-252-2273
    Bobby C’s has a full menu (the fried chicken is a highlight), and décor that gives the L-shaped space an upscale vibe. The clientele, mostly African-American business men and women winding down with a cocktail, is often swaying to the smooth beats of live jazz or a DJ playing R&B hits from every decade. Downtown holds so many undiscovered treasures, and BC’s is definitely one.
  • Brigett's Last Laugh
    17222 N. Cave Creek Rd.
    Phoenix, AZ 85032
    602-788-0507
    http://www.brigetts.com
    Even if it does look like a biker bar with all those shiny chrome hogs out front, Brigett’s is really one of the unsung karaoke capitals of Phoenix. Hosting karaoke seven nights a week, and the songs getting sung are just as diverse as the people themselves. There might be a dude with long hair and a flannel shirt singing rock ‘n’ roll, followed by a middle-aged fellow belting out some chart-topper, followed by a biker babe doing her own kooky thing. Everybody's pretty friendly here, and if you can't be talked into a duet, maybe a game of pool or darts will suffice.
  • BS West
    7125 E. Fifth Ave.
    Scottsdale, AZ 85251
    480-945-9028
    http://www.bswest.com
    This seemingly secret gay hot spot is notorious for its frat-boy-esque fashionistas. High-spirited dancing boys fill the two-story video bar/club, which even has Internet access for the hard-core cruisers.
  • Buffalo Chip Saloon
    6811 E. Cave Creek Rd.
    Cave Creek, AZ 85331
    480-488-9118
    http://www.buffalochipsaloon.com
    This place appeals to lovers of country music, who come to see both the Pat James Band and Geoff Conklin (as well as other western-themed groups) perform every Thursday through Saturday.
  • Buzz the Original Funbar
    10345 N. Scottsdale Rd.
    Paradise Valley, AZ 85253
    480-991-3866
    One of the most spacious clubs in Scottsdale, Buzz has two floors (downstairs for 18 and over, upstairs for 21-and-over), three dance floors, three bars, tons of comfy leather seats and couches, and more mirrors than you can shake a bottle of hairspray at. The club doesn’t usually get hoppin’ until around 10 p.m., but underage partyers help fill the place, turning up by the hundreds.
