Best Open Mic Night
Award Winner 2009

Cuisine(s): American, New American, Pizza, Traditional
Entertainment: Live Entertainment

Description

Dude, if you're like totally looking for some groovy fun, be sure to pilot your old VW microbus on over to the Goat Head. It's a "kind" bar and grill offering jam-rock and all varieties of live music nearly every night of the week. An array of Americana, bluegrass, and rock groups also take to the colorfully-lit stage area at this charming wood-paneled bar. Several pool tables are also on the premises should you feel like proving your billiards superiority.

2009 | Best Open Mic Night

Attending open mic nights at Valley bars is often akin to being an excited kid on Christmas morn: You're hoping for something good, like an unsigned troubadour who croons beautifully, instead of something lousy, which in this case might be some no-talent freakazoid who should be singing only in the shower. Thankfully, the wanna-be musicians, comedians, poets, and other participants at the weekly acoustic/electric open mic at Goat Head generally fall into the first category. Sure, the... More »
2008 | Best Place to See Jam-Rock Bands

Here's some groovy news for you: Ever since opening its doors last spring, Goat Head Saloon has become a destination place for fans of jam rock. Every month, this charming Mesa watering hole hosts gigs by bands specializing in the funky, Grateful Dead-style genre, usually featuring extended solos and fits of psychedelic jamming. Groups such as Xtra Ticket, Endoplasmic, and The Noodles perform here regularly, as do such out-of-towners as 3 Ugly Guys and Alfred Howard and the K23 Orchestra.... More »
2003 | BEST PLACE TO GET A GUINNESS

If you're really a Guinness drinker, then you know how hard it is to find Guinness in this town, poured like it was meant to be served: warm, in a pint glass, by someone who knows what they're doing. You know how to wait for it, mouth watering, watching until the slow fizzle of the light brown bubbles clears to the top and leaves the body dark, thick and pitch black. Ah . . . Guinness. The beer that eats like a meal. Unfortunately, most bars around here serve it cold, in a frosty glass,... More »

You wouldn't have recognized Krystle Delgado three years ago. She was 20 then, dressed to the nines in a gorgeous floor-length gown with platinum blond hair. She sat at a piano and played "Think of Me," the classic track from Phantom of the Opera... More »

Here's some groovy news for you: Ever since opening its doors last spring, Goat Head Saloon has become a destination place for fans of jam rock. Every month, this charming Mesa watering hole hosts gigs by bands specializing in the funky, Grateful Dead-style genre, usually featuring extended solos and fits of psychedelic jamming. Groups such as Xtra Ticket, Endoplasmic, and The Noodles perform here regularly, as do such out-of-towners as 3 Ugly Guys and Alfred Howard and the K23 Orchestra. The place evokes the spirit of the old Sail Inn (the infamous bygone east Valley jam-rock hangout), with the usual crowd of granola-munchers and tie-dyed types turning out for shows. It's not all hippies, however, as a varied crowd of rock 'n' roll fans make the trip to Goat Head every week to have a funky time.

Saw their ad in the Phoenix New Times and had to check it out for myself. I'm so glad I did because this is now one of my favorite places for live music on the weekends and week days!
