Nightlife in downtown Phoenix comes in the form of ale houses, cocktail lounges, music clubs, tiki bars and outdoor playgrounds. The scene runs the gamut from sophisticated to gritty, from historic to hipster, from proudly unpretentious to fiercely independent. This video introduces you to some of the nightlife options available in Phoenix’s urban heart.

Downtown Phoenix nightlife includes the CityScape entertainment district, home to Lucky Strike, an urban-chic bowling alley; Gypsy Bar dance club; Copper Blues, a live-music venue with 60 beers on tap; and the Stand Up Live dinner comedy theater. If you're looking to get your game on, drop a few tokens in the retro game consoles at Cobra Arcade Bar, challenge friends to cornhole on The Vig Fillmore's patio or sink a pool ball at the Bikini Lounge dive bar. LUSTRE Rooftop Bar serves drinks with a view by the third-floor pool of the Hotel Palomar. Bitter & Twisted Cocktail Parlour has you covered for cocktails in its 24-page book of offerings, and craft beer fans will find something new on 30 rotating taps at Angel's Trumpet Ale House.
