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.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
