During the summer months, catch free, family-friendly performances (music, theater, and dance) and movies Thursday to Saturday evening outdoors at Heritage Square.

Mountain Top Tap Room
This 36-tap watering hole on Route 66 hosts open mic and karaoke nights plus the occasional band on weekends.
Museum Club Roadhouse and Danceclub
Downtown
Fondly known as the Zoo, this Flagstaff institution once housed an extensive taxidermy collection in the 1930s and is now a popular country-and-western club (a few owls still perch above the dance floor). A gigantic log cabin constructed around five trees, with a huge, wishbone-shape pine as the entryway, the venue offers a taste of Route 66 color along with live music and other events.
Weatherford Hotel
You'll find three bars here: Charly's Pub & Grill hosts late-night jazz and blues bands, while, in the basement, the Gopher Hole has a game room and brings a mix of styles to its stage. The third, the Zane Grey Ballroom upstairs, affords a great view of the city you can enjoy with your drink. Good food and historical charm enhance the experience.
