Saturday Night Special

Support your local dive bar! Like, now, folks. With mom-and-pop joints droppin’ like flies in central Phoenix – Chez Nous is apparently moving, Ham’s is bye-bye soon – you’ve gotta fight the powers that be and throw your money at deserving homegrown establishments. So instead of dressing up like a red-carpet reject and heading to Scottsdale, dress as yourself and head down to the Hidden House, where you can mingle with the unpretentious crowd at The Shop, an underground/old-school hip-hop night spun by DJ Al Page and special guests.

Saturdays, 9 p.m., 2008
