The Wright Bar

If your idea of nightlife runs more towards the refined, this hotel lounge is a delight. Opening onto an outdoor terrace and affording views of manicured lawns, fountains, and Piestewa Peak, the establishment is a gracious alternative to rowdy bars. While it's open for drinks at noon, music and appetizers aren't provided until after 6pm. At that point, nibble on a gourmet cheese plate or savory empanadas, indulge in one of many specialty cocktails, and revel in soothing piano tunes. The bar offers an extensive, upscale drinks menu and wonderful, subdued ambience.
