The Rhythm Room was the first blues bar I visited when I moved here to Arizona. I randomly showed up for their fall music festival. I saw so many great local acts that I had no idea existed! And It was my first introduction to Big Pete Pearson. That guy puts on a GREAT show and always interacts with the crowd and will talk to any random bar patron who wants to praise his performance or just talk music. The RR is also really good about showcasing newer bands from all over the country of all genres. The drinks are cheap, the bartenders are awesome and always show ample cleavage. The crowd on any given night ranges from the young hipsters to the AARP crowd who still dress up for a night on the town with cocktails and dancing. There is no pretension here. I love this place and everytime I go, I wonder why I've been away for so long.
