Suite 301 might be my favorite bar in Tempe. 301 is a couch type lounge with a great outdoor patio located on Mill Ave above Hooters. The lighting, music and decor give it an chill atmosphere and ambiance all its own, especially for Downtown Tempe. Friday and Saturday nights start off slow, but kick it into high gear fast about 11:30 or so.
One major plus...this place is loaded with hot bartenders. What? I'm just sayin. Another plus is that drinks are reasonably priced. The wait staff are usually attentive if you are lucky enough to get a couch.
There is a negative of getting up there. The elevator shuts off at a certain time and the back stairs get to be like a subway ride during rush hour in Japan. And let's not beat around the bush...some nights it can be DB central.
But, I recommend it if you are on Mill and want to chill in a lounge.
