Night Life |

Axis & Radius
7340 East Indian Plaza
(480) 970-1112 |
Dance! Dance! Dance! Latin, Pop, Euro. Dre$$ well to stand in line! Beautiful People and celebrity saturated, almost two years old, and you still have bodycrush on the weekends! The upstairs area was expanded at the end of September 2000 with the "Moonlight Party" shin dig. The patio lounge is sound shielded from the tunes, and you can hold low volume conversations. Even with runway shows, $500 fashion contests, and TV news-worthy special events, the staff and other patrons instantly know you by name. Best nights are Thursdays and Saturdays for the men, Tuesdays and Fridays for the women. Cover is $5 - $10, and VIP runs $500 to $1,000. |

buzz Funbar

Cajun House
7117 East 3rd Avenue
(480) 945-5150 |
Live music from recognizable bands in someone's version of a Nawlin's brick street front. Each "storefront" offers its own feature: pool hall, restaurant, & bar. Attire is relaxed casual (jeans & pony tail is the norm), and people often go for the rock, retro, and theme shows. Cover is $0 - $15. |
|
|
Insomnia
4343 North Scottsdale Road
(480) 994-4800 |
Scottsdale's after-hours dance club with two separate dance rooms. You'll find night-owls left over from the other bars and clubs, but no alcohol. It's hidden in the Galleria building, so parking is ample. Cover is $10. |

Monastery
4114 North 28th Street
(602) 840-7510 |
Of course, there is also the Monastery in Phoenix. Outdoor sand pit volleyball, wooden tree swing, ping-pong, and tree-covered pic-nic tables. Clothes, the more relaxed and casual, the better. |

Sanctuary Nightclub & Bar
7340 E Shoeman Lane
(480) 970-5000 |
Over a year old, this posh, upscale Techno and House hot spot is just one block South from Axis & Radius. Once considered "too good to last" in Arizona, it now boasts a weekly midnight telecast from the dance floor. Watch out for the flaming drinks! Its patio area is set up wonderfully for several small groups to get some warm air and chat or people watch. Best nights are Fridays and Sundays. Cover is $7 - $15, and VIP runs $1,500. |

Sky Lounge
Sports City Grill
132 East Washington Street
Phoenix, Arizona
(602) 229-1110 |
Brought to you by the owner of Axis & Radius, this downtown Phoenix restaurant and bar is hopping for pre & post game parties! (It's not bad the rest of the time, either!) The Sports City Grill serves good food down stairs for lunch and dinner, and the Sky Lounge, upstairs has a retractable roof. Best nights are event nights. Early afternoon lunches are nice, too. |
