This place is unfortunately often overlooked, probably due to insufficient marketing. The place has a cool, pre-retro (as in forties or fifties?) feel. It's kind of lush or WAS lush and I can't determine whether the decidedly worn tired feel adds to the appeal of this place to me.
Anyway, this is not a bad place to hang out but it wouldn't be the highlight of a night out in downtown Phoenix. I have to say that we got great, attentive service with exactly ZERO attitude and that is a large part of why I am giving this place four stars.
You'd probably want to start here rather than end up here but all in all, Ghost Lounge will definitely be on my next downtown bar hop.
