Although ANB caters mostly to lesbian clientele, everyone is welcome to come in, play pool, sing karaoke, or dance on the dance floor in the center of the room. The walls of the bar are decorated with black-and-white portraits you might have found in a 1980s hair salon, but everything else in the establishment is pretty standard: high tables with plenty of barstools, a DJ booth in the corner, and plenty of ladies ready to party.

The small club is unpretentious for sure, but tastefully so, with handsomely painted walls and decorative covers obscuring Eugene's old framed rock 'n' roll posters.
Thu-Sat: Live music. 1320 E. Broadway Rd., Tempe, 480-968-3238.

Jackson St., 602-254-5303.

Indulge yourself in the eclectic menu that is tailored to suit the lounge setting. 7419 E. Indian Plaza, Scottsdale, 480-970-1945.
El Zocalo Mexican Grill: If you want to impress your novia, take her to El Zocalo for Mexican food on a Saturday night.

On any given night, the restaurant's clientele is made up of artists, designers and musicians. The atmosphere is friendly and unpretentious.

Fibber Magee's: A traditional Irish pub, Fibber Magee's authenticity extends beyond the Guinness on tap and the Jameson's behind the bar. The place is loaded with Irish artifacts, from the cigarette signs to the trinkets, and it prides itself on pumping its festive clientele with craic, an Irish term for the vibe of celebration. Irish folk music from Blackwood and other bands and twice-monthly Irish gourmet feast nights help that cause as well.
Thu-Sun: Live music. 1989 W. Elliot Rd., Chandler, 480-722-9434.
Flicka's Baja Cantina: Walk in to Flicka's and think really happy thoughts.

Sat: Battle of the bands night. 3 S. Second St., 602-261-7625.
Harley's 155: The vibe at this central Phoenix gay dance club depends on which of two house DJs controls the console. Some nights, the selection is decidedly '80s (old-school Madonna, etc.). Other nights, newer fare like DJ Sammy blasts. No matter -- an eclectic, multiracial blend of dancers keeps the huge, Technicolor-lighted floor buzzing.
Sun: DJ at 9 p.m. 155 W. Camelback Rd., 602-274-8505.

Mon-Sat: Live music. 2610 W. Baseline Rd., Mesa, 480-820-7117.
Horse & Hound: Off-track betting makes this strip-mall sports bar even more attractive for the regulars, who absorb the races and other sporting contests on any of nearly 50 televisions.

Mickey's Hangover: The attraction to this Scottsdale bar lies in its 3 a.m. closing. None of this turning-into-pumpkins, 1 a.m. stuff. While it stops serving alcohol at the witching hour, it keeps late-night snack food coming 'til 3. The back patio allows for fresh air, conversation and cigarette smoking while the DJs spin inside.

My Florist Cafe: A lively little cafe, My Florist Cafe features a menu that reads like poetry in gourmet sandwiches and salads. Many dishes lean to the sweet side, and it's advisable to get often-syrupy dressing on the side.

Lately, though, the music sparkles as much as the food, as the cafe now offers singer-songwriters and pianists sharing their tunes seven nights a week. 530 W. McDowell Rd., 602-254-0333.

Owl's Nest: What came first, the Hooters or the Owl's Nest?

Pat Murphy's Pub and Grill: A drinking man's pool hall-cum-neighborhood blues bar, Pat Murphy's has no stage to speak of, leaving blues bands no option but to man a back wall. But you can't beat 6 a.m. hash browns and bourbon for that good morning, world, how are you? feeling.

Fri-Sat: Live music. 5014 S. Price Rd., Tempe, 480-897-1466.

Rio Salado Brewing Co. Salt River Saloon: Thank the Rio Salado Brewery for this cramped but vibrant Mill Avenue drinking hole.

The Rusty Spur Saloon: A genuine historic landmark in Old Town Scottsdale, this watering hole slaked cowboys' thirsts long before Southwestern art galleries with crying Indians surrounded it.

Local DJs pump out trance and techno on the decks Wednesday through Saturday on the two dance floors. It's a good place to get away from the collegiate atmosphere of Tempe.

The televisions, in fact, play videos featuring snowboarding and other events nightly. The bar, located to the right of the stage, occasionally attracts impromptu pole dancing.

Undici Undici Fine Art Coffee House: The owners of the relaxed, artsy Undici, nestled in west Mesa, indulge in all of their laid-back cultural interests at once.

The multi-roomed venue is an urban museum for local artists. 149 W. McDowell Rd., 602-252-0272.
Wine Concepts: 4001 E. Bell Rd., 602-923-9463.
Winks: Three words sum up Winks: drag, drag and drag. Four nights a week, the bar is home to some of the best female impersonation acts in the Valley, including (his promo, not ours) America's favorite blonde, Barbra Seville, Pussy LeHoot, and Devina. The bar is decorated with class: Zebra-print carpet lines the floors, a chandelier hangs from the ceiling, silver and black curtains frame the stage, and lovely flower arrangements adorn the front window.

LOUNGES
The Bar at the Citadel: Chef Michael DeMaria puts as much class into his bar as his award-winning restaurant. We're talking cushy sofas, overstuffed armchairs, a discreet but well-stocked bar and inspiring views of Scottsdale's spectacular sunsets. These are way-above-average bar bites, exquisite eats like potato-and-prosciutto-wrapped scallops and crab-stuffed cannelloni. Tossing back some Krug Grande Cuvee Brut champagne, serenaded by live music, how could we be anything but thrilled?
Fri-Sat: Terri Anderson. 8700 E. Pinnacle Peak Rd., Scottsdale, 480-515-2575.
Barcelona (Chandler): It could be the bars, massive and trendy, lined with ice for resting cocktails. It could be the live entertainment, including such favorites as the LMNOP band. Maybe it's the food, a mix of upscale Mediterranean and Southwestern cuisines. Perhaps the dancing is the draw, as guests young to old kick it up on the floor after 10 p.m. Whatever, both Barcelona locations are usually packed with people not bothered by pricey cocktails and even pricier snacks. Be smart and get started at happy hour, when appetizers ring in at half-price seven nights a week. 900 N. 54th St., Chandler, 480-785-9004.
Barcelona (Scottsdale): 15440 Greenway-Hayden Loop, Scottsdale, 480-603-0370.
Barmouche: This looks like a real man´s club, but it's friendly to the ladies, too. Think lots of moody lighting, burgundy leather, and hearty noshes like Scotch beef sandwiches, the Rich Man's Burger (no kidding, it's $15), and classic liver 'n' onions. Here's where to find some clever wines, too, like Pommery POP champagne As Seen on TV. Take advantage of happy hour, with bargain-priced drinks and appetizers for as little as a buck. 3131 E. Camelback Rd., 602-956-6900.
Bistro 24: For luxe libations, nobody bests the Ritz-Carlton. Silk fabrics, comfortable rattan booths and country French accents nestle around the cozy, eat-in marble bar at the restaurant's entry. Bistro 24 is an exquisite environment in which to impress guests, with expert, unobtrusive service.
Fri-Sat: Live jazz. 2401 E. Camelback Rd., 602-468-0700.
Cafe Blue: We could well be in Manhattan with this snazzy, sophisticated lounge. The bar is stunning, all back-lighted white reflected in giant mirrors and funky blue neon. A sushi and fresh seafood bar beckons us from the glass wall separating the lounge from the restaurant (check out the light show as the wall changes colors). Bring your wallet -- drinks and appetizers are expensive, and there's no happy hour. But after a few twisted martinis (Ketel One with cranberry and grapefruit juice), who cares? Closed Sundays. 4175 N. Goldwater Blvd., Scottsdale, 480-946-6555.
Christopher's Fermier Brasserie: It's hard to look past the list of more than 100 wines by the glass, but worth it to discover outstanding French cuisine. Sommelier Paola Gross offers pairings perfect for nibbling and sipping at the sleek, European-style bar, followed by a decadent dessert and puffs on quality cigars. Stop in early (4 to 6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays) for a trio of two-ounce wine tastings at $9.95. Full wine bar menu Thursdays through Saturdays. 2584 E. Camelback Rd., 602-522-2344.
Drift Polynesian Restaurant and Tiki Lounge: This is the ultimate Scottsdale tiki lounge, with big Easter Island heads, surfing flicks on the tube, and huge, highly alcoholic Polynesian-styled drinks like the Evil Bastard and the Grotto. Kick back in the beautiful, big-assed bar and lounge area, where you can pretend you're in Maui while you listen to a mix of electronica, rock and hip-hop. Food is served until midnight. Happy hour runs from 4 to 7 p.m. 4341 N. 75th St. (75th St. and Stetson Dr.), Scottsdale, 480-949-8454.
Durant's: Perhaps the only unselfconscious retro lounge in the Valley, Durant's recalls an era when dry martinis and tuck-and-roll leatherette truly mattered. Surrounded by red-flocked walls and peeking out from dimly lighted banquettes are crowds of theater types, local politicians and businessmen with nieces in tow. Order a Stoli martini, five-to-one, and an icy plate of Florida snow crab claws, and know that you've reached the pinnacle of Old Phoenix cool. 2611 N. Central Ave., 602-264-5967.
Eddie Matney's: The lounge looks just like someone's living room -- someone in Morocco, that is. Bold, bright colors decorate the comfy sofas, armchairs and ottomans flanked by mosaic patterned tables. Savvy professional types gather here for an elegant nosh (half-price at happy hour, with freebies on Tuesdays) of Matney's eclectic appetizers: seafood ravioli, sumac-grilled lamb chops, garlic-cornmeal calamari. If a drink is trendy, it's on the menu (cosmos and lemon-drop martinis are favorites).
Fri-Sat: Live jazz. 2398 E. Camelback Rd., 602-957-3214.
Furio: The owners are so proud of the decor of their lounge that they openly give its designer credit. Judith Testani crafted the fabulous, violet-lighted bar furnished with chunky ottomans and a couch stacked with leopard-skin pillows. But real attention focuses on the handcrafted martinis, a boutique wine list and more than 15 specialty drinks like mojitos, an Italian ice-lemon (lemon gelato, Ketel One Citroen, Triple Sec, sweet and sour, and lemon juice in a sugared-rim martini glass), or a Bellini (champagne, peach purée, vodka and peach schnapps). Recorded music is inspired (Gipsy Kings, Sinatra, jazz, acoustic guitar), and the cuisine is, too (amazing dusted hearts of palm, calamari, osso buco).
Sun: Aria House music.
Mon: Martinis and manicures.
Thu: Flight night. 7210 E. Second St., Scottsdale, 480-945-6600.
Houston's: Don't let the cow skull on the wall fool you: There's nothing hokey or Southwestern about this upscale bar, grafted onto one of Phoenix's most popular eateries. Order a cosmopolitan and any item off the dinner menu and watch as secretaries, guys on the make, and other professional sorts mingle under giant, flying-saucer-shaped chandeliers. Or check out the game on the overhead TV at the bar. Either way, you've escaped the usual scene, and you're in stumbling distance of fine dining after too many martinis. 2425 E. Camelback Rd., 602-957-9700.
Jetz American Grill: Half the space is a bar, the other half is a restaurant, and the whole thing is ultra-classy with rich stone walls and lush cherry wood. Start with a happening happy hour, easing into a quieter dinner crowd. The action sizzles after 10 p.m. on weekends, with a small dance floor rocking to Top 40 and dance mixes. Martinis star, with complex blends like Berry White (Ketel One vodka, Chambourd and Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur), Purple Haze (Bacardi O, sweet and sour, orange juice and grenadine), and Lip Service (Smirnoff Raspberry Twist, Chambourd, Cointreau and cranberry juice). Hungry? Sample from a large menu, including peppercorn-crusted NY strip and grilled salmon.
Fri: Live music.
Sat: DJ dance music. 10050 N. Scottsdale Rd., Scottsdale, 480-948-2606.
Kazimierz World Wine Bar: It's hard not to be happy sprawling back on cushy overstuffed armchairs and sofas amid candles and shrouded lights, enjoying a magical display as the sun sets behind an elaborate paper-and-gel stained glass window that comprises the bar's northern wall. This place has got it all, from funky music (jazz and techno, spiced up with big band, Irish and mariachi themes) to fashionable drinks (more than 800 bottles of wine, including two dozen themed flight selections) to fine food (gourmet antipasto, calamari and octopus salad, duck pâté with truffles). Get there early (before 7) for best seating.
Mon and Thu: Live jazz. 7137 E. Stetson Dr., Scottsdale, 480-946-3004.
A League of Our Own: The name of this popular place says it all: A combination sports bar and jazz club, League offers televised games around a scenester-dominated lounge on one side, and local legends making music in the swanky restaurant/lounge on the other. Autographed basketballs in Lucite cases mix it up with large-format paintings by local artists. Two pages of martinis and a dozen different champagnes make this a smart before-dinner stop, especially when paired with one of League's fancy appetizers (we like the confit of artichoke and the beluga caviar).
Wed-Sat: Live jazz. 40 E. Camelback Rd., 602-265-2354.
Merc Bar: Merc is so cool it barely has a sign -- just look for the door tucked across from Houston's and you'll see a tiny plaque. Inside is high style, with brass tables, designer sofas, dark wood accents and virtual bat-cave lighting. Clientele is of the well-heeled sort, with plenty of businessmen and pretty young things sipping French martinis (Finlandia vodka, Chambourd, pineapple juice) while nibbling on $14 plates of smoked salmon. Get there early, the place fills up quickly. 2501 E. Camelback Rd., 602-508-9449.
1912 Lounge: This elegant watering hole at Arizona's oldest golf resort has quite a history. Below a banquet room across the hall, catacombs are all that´s left of what was once a speakeasy. You won't need a password to get into the brightly lighted bar today, but it seems nearly everyone who works there has a ghost story to tell. 1 San Marcos Place, Chandler, 480-857-4428.
Nixon's: This cozy hideaway, tucked alongside the escalators at the Esplanade, is as much like Cheers as any neighborhood bar in town. The difference: bartenders who won't bore you with Cliff Clavin-esque factoids, and a cool after-work crowd who know a good wine list when they see one (and here, they'll see one). They'll also see a huge painted mural featuring Marilyn Monroe, Sandra Day O'Connor, Madonna, and Jackie O -- among others -- a lot of warm wood, old framed magazine covers, and a mess of political memorabilia. Order the red pepper goat cheese dip and a Thomas Kemper draft, and position yourself near a window with a view of passing shoppers. You'll be glad you did. 2501 E. Camelback Rd., 602-852-0900.
Old Town Tortilla Factory: This historic 75-year-old adobe former home centers on one of the finest flagstone patios in the Valley, perfect for lounging under towering 100-year-old pecan trees and sipping from a selection of 80 premium tequilas. Either the main restaurant or a tequilaria next door offer prime drinking and dining options. Food is Southwest-Sonoran with excellent house-made tortillas, seductive salsas and specialties. 6910 E. Main St., Scottsdale, 480-945-4567.
Pattie's First Avenue Lounge: A lively party place with a Mexican cantina, Pattie's features three dance floors, three bars, pool tables and a heated outdoor patio. Party buses -- full of bachelorette parties and other soirees -- always seem to be parked out front. Never a cover and the drinks are cheap (for Scottsdale, anyway). Live music and karaoke during special events.
Fri-Sat: DJ plays all genres of music. 7220 E. First Ave., Scottsdale, 480-990-0103.
Postino: It's a converted historic post office, including glass garage doors to bring in the outside during good weather. That's almost as cool as the lovely boutique wines available (check out a tasty Folie a Deux, a rarely seen white varietal called ménage ˆ trois). The wine selection changes every other month, but great snacks are always on tap: Try the signature bruschetta, a huge wooden board groaning with four (out of nine) selections per order atop garlic-and-olive-oil-brushed Italian flat bread. The best seats in the house are many, at the bar, on a cozy couch, or on the pretty patio, grooving to excellent CD compilations. 3939 E. Campbell Ave., 602-852-3939.
Redfish: The chain restaurant's Voodoo Lounge is dressed up with authentic New Orleans artifacts and antiques and a hundred-foot mural of bayou sites, but it's the wrought-iron balconies and oil lamps that take us back to New Orleans every time. That and the Creole and Cajun appetizers (we like the shrimp rémoulade best) and the specialty cocktails (try to stop at just one Cajun Martini, we dare you). Signature beers like Dixie Crimson Voodoo Ale and Blackened Voodoo Lager and live music on the weekends bring us back to this faux French Quarter again and again.
Fri-Sun: Dance music. 7401 E. Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd., Scottsdale, 480-998-6995.
Sapporo: Yes, the bar really is changing colors under your cocktail glass (neon lights, you know). But there are no kids lounging here; this spot is often favored by middle-aged professionals who eagerly crowd in to scan the scene while chatting on cell phones. Weather permitting, the back of the bar opens to a lovely patio with fountains bubbling out of rock walls. Service is smooth -- martinis come in silver shakers for self-pouring, with some creative choices like the Asian'tini garnished with octopus. Terrific sushi, too. 14344 N. Scottsdale Rd., Scottsdale, 480-607-1114.
SIX Restaurant and Lounge: Selected as one of the top bars in the U.S. by InStyle and Esquire magazines, SIX, with its neon ambiance and gym-augmented clientele, may make you feel like you just sneaked into a Hollywood première. The unisex rest room can be a peep show if you forget to lock the door. Catch jazz jam sessions on Mondays and sets by world-class DJs on Sundays. 7316 E. Stetson Dr., Scottsdale, 480-663-6620.
Sportsman's: This may well be the only bar in town with a cheese cooler just inside the door. A cool combination neighborhood bar/wine club, Sportsman's is as close to a Provençal bistro as you'll get in the Valley. On one side, 2,000 fine wines are available for take-away sale; on the other, a cozy bar wraps itself around some mighty friendly wine aficionados who serve as your bartenders. Fancy sandwiches and cheese platters are available for palate-clearing, and a coffee bar with pastries from Willo Baking Company will help sober you up if you just can't say no to another Castello Banfi Centine.
Tue-Thu: Wine tastings, 5-6:30 p.m. 3205 E. Camelback Rd., 602-955-7730.
Suede: Plush padded walls, sleek cherry wood, two lavish bars glam-lit with teardrop lights and neon ice strips -- no wonder this high-class lounge attracts so many beautiful, moneyed people. The sound is equally sophisticated, with DJ picks of jazz, disco and R&B. Everyone sports martinis in their manicured hands, with specialties like red-chocolate, the Bombay Sapphire Gin model, and Ketel One on tap, even. Plan on dinner, since Suede sends out truly tasty Euro-Asian fare like lobster pot stickers and spicy chicken spring rolls.
Sun: Hip-hop 8 p.m.-1 a.m.
Mon: Closed.
Tue: House music, 5 p.m.-1 a.m.;
Wed: DJ old school and funk music, 5 p.m.-1 a.m.

Fri: DJ, house music and R&B, 5 p.m.-1 a.m. 7333 E. Indian Plaza, Scottsdale, 480-970-6969.
Zen 32: The fact that this trendy place serves sushi until midnight every day is enough cause to celebrate, but the late-night fish feasts are even more fun thanks to an upbeat, hip young crowd. The bar is separated from the restaurant by a glass wall, so guests can get loud, and they do. Japanese animation videos add extra pizzazz and commotion. Drinks are especially ambitious, featuring a dozen premium sakes, a groovy sake-rita (Momokawa sake, raspberry sake, Triple Sec, Chambourd, Sweet-n-Sour) and a sake-tini (Midori melon liqueur, Skyy vodka, cold sake). Free sushi at happy hour makes Zen 32 literally priceless. 3160 E. Camelback Rd., 602-954-8700.
