Sex Mex Concert

Sex Mex Concert

November 12 at 8pm

Linger Longer Lounge · Camelback East Village • $15

Sex Mex brings their thing to Linger Longer Lounge, a gloriously weird Phoenix dive with a lit-up bar top and a bathroom plastered in defaced vinyl covers. Come for the band, stay for the Old Style signs and a genuinely good time.

The Pemberton

The Pemberton

Evans Churchill • $$

Part art installation, part open-air bar crawl, The Pemberton is downtown Phoenix's 21+ playground. Wander themed bars, murals, and an LED tunnel, cocktail in hand.

Chula Seafood | Downtown

Chula Seafood | Downtown

Central City • $$

Desert city, ocean-fresh cravings: Chula answers with poke bowls, lobster rolls, and oysters shucked at a bright counter steps from the convention center. Happy hour keeps the fish tacos and sake flowing.

Casa de Julia Restaurant Bar

Casa de Julia Restaurant Bar

Central City

Casa de Julia channels Yasmine Rubio's grandmother's kitchen into Downtown Phoenix, serving soulful Mexican plates like Ribeye Chile and Oaxacan Mole alongside live music, karaoke, and mariachi nights that turn any dinner into a fiesta.

Frequently asked questions

How are these lively bars in Phoenix chosen?

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.

Is everything here still happening?

Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.

How can Outgoing help me find something I’ll actually want to do?

Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

Do I need an account to use Outgoing?

You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.

Is Outgoing free?

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
