There’s magic at a dive bar dance night. First, strong drinks loosen you up quick. Second, super dinky size of the joint ensures the dance floor is filled. And, most important, you check pride at the door as soon as you walk into the bathroom. So when the beats compel you to start shaking it, you've really got nothing to lose.

This is why we love Sticky Fingers at Rips Cocktails. William Fucking Reed's latest incarnation has got Phoenicians flocking to this charming venue every Friday night and tonight will be no exception. Throw on your favorite hipster outfit and get ready to sweat as he and guest DJs Kristoefur, Rock & Roll Dance Patrol, and others spin a funked up mix of indie, rock & roll, glam, and more.
