Feels like a bar in Chicago, New York or Boston not new shiny Phoenix. I think that's the fun part about valley bar. The entrance is in a stinky alley and the bar is below a building. But once inside, it is packed with people every weekend. They've got a great cocktail menu named after different Phoenix "celebs" like the McCain and some old school arcade games. But what gets this place the 5 stars is their stage. A revolving list of live acts play at the valley bar that compare to the acts that come to crescent ballroom.
