Happenin' Nightlife in Phoenix, AZ

The independently owned, 2,500-square-foot bar brings a touch of authenticity to Westgate, according to some, as the development is filled mostly with chain restaurants and shops.

“There is no nightlife in Glendale,” Chris Diaz, 30, of Scottsdale. “I like this bar because it has great live music and service. If there were more places like this that you could bar hop around, I would consider coming out here more often.”

Westgate officials were not immediately in love with Nightengale’s concept, though. The bar doesn’t serve food, although guests can bring in their own. And apparently the appeal of a steel-filled saloon was lost on them until they saw the plans on paper.
