This place probably gets the best lineup of bands in the Valley year-in and year-out. Owner Kimber Lanning is such a sweetheart and is constantly fighting to make Phoenix cool. This little shack of a venue (seriously, it fits about 43 people comfortably) has a decent sound system for its size, and a funky interior to boot. It's all ages all the time, so don't expect any sip and there's no BYOB option. This place can be hotter than a sauna in the middle of the summer (I don't care if there's a box fan or two) and is usually righteously loud. Whatever you do, skip the bathroom at all costs...run to the Krispy Kreme across the street.
