Went for a LOLO Ella Red Concert. To be honest we had a hard time finding it. Going down an alley we see a red light over a door advertising Valley Bar. Going in we head down a flight of stairs to this basement to...Read More

Went here for a concert, so not the usual "bar experience". However, it was super fun and unique, and reminded me of an underground speakeasy with lots of industrial styling and interesting items. Very dark and cool, a respite for the long, hot Arizona summer...Read More

This is my kinda place: busy, edgy, my kids would call it “grimy” as a compliment! Fast Moving bartenders serve excellent cocktails in a rapid pace. We didn’t see any live acts but DJs were very good. It started with all dressed up crowd from science...Read More

Love the atmosphere. Good music gets played here. This is also hidden in between an alley. However, service can be very slow especially when there’s only 2 people on the bar who can take orders for both food and drinks and there’s a long wait...Read More

I attended Barflies event and had a great time! Unique venue and worth a visit if you’re in downtown Phoenix. Tasty cocktails with a story behind each name. Didn’t try any food; bartender service was slow with little eye contact nor friendly bantering. Customer service...Read More

Valley Bar is one of my favorite spots in Phoenix to catch live music and hang out. The vibe feels gritty and intimate, you’re close to the stage without losing comfort. Sound is solid (especially for local bands), drink options are decent, and staff are...Read More

I never buy food there so I can't rate that. Service is fine, nothing stands out from my interactions. The music venue has a good atmosphere and I find myself at Valley Bar more often than other bars because the bands often play there.
