It's been two decades since Hollywood Alley swung open its doors to the public, and since those late-80s days, the iconic club's stage has hosted sessions by some of the biggest names in the Valley's recent rock history. From gigs by punk legends the Sun City Girls back in the day, to the bands of the early-90s Mill Avenue scene like the Gin Blossoms, up to such modern-day scenesters as the Glass Heroes. The music may have changed over the years, but the decor definitely hasn't (countless classic movie posters and countless band stickers still cover the walls).

2009 | Best Rock Club

When Hollywood Alley debuted in 1988, bands didn't exactly beat a path to its door. Back in those days, the epicenter of the local music scene was undoubtedly Mill Avenue and such venues as Long Wong's and Chuy's, and not some pissant bar and... More >

There are scene bars, restaurants, and music clubs. Imagine if all three, ahem, scenes could unite into one super-fun scenester extravaganza. Well, thanks to Henri Benard from psychedelic jam band Rocketline, there's one place that folks can... More >
2007 | BEST DESIGNER DRINK

Veteran Valley bartender and mini-music-mogul Vil Vodka is known for his potent custom shots, usually created for the purpose of promoting or paying homage to local bands. Vodka's "Robitussin" shot, introduced in 2004, smells and tastes like its... More >
2007 | BEST PLACE FOR A SECOND CHANCE

It's 8 a.m. on a Saturday. You're coming off a night of multiple nightclubs, sweaty dancing, drinks galore, and after-parties lasting 'til well after sunrise. You feel like hell and you look it, too. The belly of booze is gone, the hangover is... More >
2005 | BEST HIP-HOP NIGHT

Green Lady Killers to Return to Arizona with Two Shows in March

By Anthony Sandoval | Tue, January 24, 2012

Melt Banana @ Hollywood Alley

By Jason P. Woodbury | Thu, November 17, 2011

Robert "Fun Bobby" Birmingham was a fixture behind the bar at Hollywood Alley for over a decade — a talkative, friendly dude with a serious musical yen for the bonkers rock music of Japanese rockers Melt Banana. He's been booking the band for over... More >
More Oral History of Phoenix Skate Punk

Over the past couple weeks I interviewed key members of the early '80s Phoenix skate punk scene. The results, printed in this week's issue, coincide with this weekend's JFA 30th Anniversary sho More >
JFA Celebrates 30 Years of Skate Punk

By Jason P. Woodbury | Thu, October 13, 2011

In 1981, Phoenix punk band J.F.A. (a.k.a. Jodie Foster's Army) released the Blatant Localism EP on Placebo Records. Remarkably brief — the entire record clocks in at six minutes, 34 seconds — the record defined the burgeoning skate punk scene. Tho... More >

By Mike R. Meyer | Thu, April 14, 2011

It's been more than three years since local punk icon Jeff Dahl played his last gig in the Valley, packed up his belongings, and moved to the tropical climes of Hawaii. Dahl hasn't played a gig since — the small island town he lives in doesn't hav... More >

This is a legendary dive bar for those living in Tempe/Mesa. Big red leather booths face the stage that hosts bands almost every night. The side room has a pool table and video games to keep you entertained. They also serve up some pretty basic, but delicious food that'll fill your stomach before ordering up another cocktail or beer.
