Described in the bar as "Bikini Tuesdays" with a black and white painted sign describing "funky mutant dance music," Tuesday nights at the Bikini Lounge in downtown Phoenix are a favorite among Valley dive-bar aficionados.
It's easy to find a seat and there's more than enough room to go around on the dance floor. Guests can belly up to the bar, take a high top, or hunker down in one of the half-moon booths along the wall across from the grass-skirted maiden above the bar.

The People: Bikini is a mix of gritty downtown locals and hipster downtown locals. A few Phoenix outsiders even linger in from the outer cities to check out the famed tiki-themed bar. The pool table at the entrance is usually taken over by locals, so you might as well forget that idea, but the bar has great people-watching and a sweet jukebox to throw your money at before the DJ sets up.
"Pool" and "bikini" taking on an entirely different meaning.
