You will find the entrance through and alley and take stairs to the basement. This may not be for everyone, but it is a cool bar that serves drinks inspired by local politicians and live music most nights. This is not really a place for children, but they are admitted with a parent.

This is a local music venue with food. They have a great weekend brunch, too. I highly recommend getting in early on Sunday evenings for trivia. Check the website for music schedule. There are often very low cost or free shows going on.

Vincent’s has two restaurants, the upscale restaurant in the front and the Marketplace in the back. Both of these are French style restaurants with excellent food and service. We love to go to the Marketplace for a casual weeknight dinner where everyone seems like family, and Vincent’s for a special occasion.

Bring your favorite casual wear
You can dress up if you’d like, but you won’t be out of place dressed casually in even some of the best restaurants in Phoenix. We are pretty much “come as you are”.
