Been a while for me to see a good live music venue in Phoenix for non-established acts. The owner Brandon is working the bar and they only have beer and wine right now, but a $10 cover to see new acts on a Thursday makes for the kind of vibe like discovering the next Gin Blossoms before they became famous.
The downside is the location. The Last Exit is just south of downtown where Central ave. and 1st ave. split. Cabbies don't know how to find it yet, so getting here is an adventure.
If you are interested in the music scene of Phoenix, you can't miss checking this place out.
