Gracie’s Tax Bar

This faded pink building off busy Seventh Avenue may look inconspicuous from the outside, but once you’re past the beat-up black door, cheap beers, great music and good times await. Gracie’s Tax Bar has occupied the former downtown Phoenix tax office since 2017. Inside, bar-goers can grab $6 mini pitchers of Gracie’s Tax beer for happy hour from the modest yet lively bar. If you’re lucky, grab a booth near the iconic jukebox and play Scrabble with friends and strangers alike until they turn the lights on. Later in the night, Gracie’s outside patio often transforms into a club-like environment, just with a lot more cigarette smoke, as it becomes a hub of rotating DJ sets. On other nights, the bar hosts “Love Island” watch parties, stuffed animal contests and video game tournaments, which are advertised on Instagram.
