ZONA Music Festival is excited to partner up with four staple Phoenix bars that will be located throughout the festival grounds. Grab a cocktail from the Cobra Arcade Bar, and pause to play a game of Pac-Man. Stop by the Gracie’s Tax Bar for a beer and say hello to their infamous javelina head. These bars will look and feel like your favorite local watering holes - from the familiar faces serving you to the warm embrace of their decor. Check out all of the bars that will be featured at this year’s fest and take a deeper dive into what makes them so unique:
Taking up residence in a 1970s tax service building, Gracie's Tax Bar is a no-frills bar with cheap drinks and a kitchen that stays open til the early morning hours. Grace Perry, former front woman of local metal band Landmine Marathon, longtime industry professional, and third generation desert-rat opened the bar back in 2017 creating a pitch-perfect downtown dive. Right on the edge of downtown, Gracie's comes complete with vintage vending machines, original events, live music, plus a surprising selection of industry-favorite spirits.
