The Best Venues in Phoenix, by the Record
The best venues in Phoenix, by the professional record: Phoenix New Times has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Hideaway Lounge comes out on top, and the record runs deepest in Peoria and Phoenix.
Salt River Fields at Talking Stick and Tempe Center For The Arts hold the next two places.

A wood-clad 600-seat auditorium anchors this performing and visual arts center on the edge of Tempe Town Lake, with a black box studio theater, a gallery that spills into the lobby, and an outdoor amphitheater for when Arizona evenings cooperate. The Tempe Symphony Orchestra, Childsplay, and several other resident companies call it home, so there's almost always something on. Public art installations are scattered throughout, in case you arrive early and need somewhere to look thoughtful.
