Description:
OLD TOWN. Sleek, swanky Shaker Room sits atop hard-rocking Martini Ranch and is an oasis of animal-print sofas, cherrywood pool tables, and signature, hand-blended martinis. Come early to avoid lines for a snug dance floor that tends to fill up quickly. DJs lay down a stylish mix of electronica and disco in the always-crowded space, making it easy to lose yourself in the beat. High ceilings, exposed brickwork, and a faintly hallucinatory projection of colors and patterns lend a dreamy feel to the venue, and eager revelers happily submit to the vibe. |

Description:
OLD TOWN. This casual, relaxed, C&W spot attracts a loyal following of locals and out-of-towners with live music most afternoons and evenings. Regional and local acts perform primarily country tunes with a little rockabilly and blues thrown into the mix. Peanut shells crunching underfoot and a collection of dollar bills tacked to the wooden walls are accurate indicators of the completely laid-back atmosphere of the Scottsdale favorite. Check out the renovated vault of this one-time bank – liquor, not cash, is now carefully guarded within. |

Lots of framed memorabilia, posters, and beer promotionals set off dark-wood booths and touches of kelly green to give Rosie's just the Irish slant you'd expect. The fun-filled place gets tons of business, thanks to terrific atmosphere, well-poured pints, tasty pub fare, and rockin' live music. Happy hour specials, televised sports, and WiFi access add to the appeal, and even if your primary intent isn't to quaff a glass of Guinness, you'll find much to recommend Rosie's. As the slogan suggests, "There are no strangers here." |

Description:
CENTRAL PHOENIX. Begin with a cozy, no-frills venue, add in top blues and jazz acts from the area and around the country, and toss in fans of great tunes and lively performances, and you've got one of Phoenix's best-loved music venues. The Rhythm Room draws crowds regularly, and the place can get smoky at times, but for raw-edged, top-notch blues and more, the place can't be beat. In fact, if you're not hitting the dance floor before long, or at least tapping your toes, folks may begin to look warily at you. Just give yourself over. |

Description:
CENTRAL PHOENIX. Char's (pronounced with an "sh," not a "ch") promises an unpretentious evening of good music in cozy environs. Most of the audience isn't more than a few steps from the stage, so the immediacy of the blues is right there in front of you. A varied audience checks out the tunes nightly, and many times, they hit the dance floor as the music moves them. Some basic food is available for munching, and a pool table offers a between-sets option. One of the city's best live-music venues. |

Sure, it's a tourist destination known for souvenir t-shirts and ball caps, but it's also a popular neighborhood bar with a reliable menu of salads, burgers, sandwiches, ribs, and more. |
