Description
A beautifully macabre brainchild of downtown Phoenix club guru Steven Rodgers, Palazzo once upon a time served as a constant haunt of the Goth music groupies. These days, however, this dramatic Central Avenue den perched between Amsterdam and Club DWNTWN is used by a different set of souls altogether. Every weekend it transforms into teeming discoteca destination for local chicas y hombres spending their Saturday evenings with Latin music in their ears and close-quarters activities on their minds. Although Palazzo’s balcony hasn’t gotten much use anymore, as its wrought iron railings are merely for decoration purposes only, its gleaming travertine dance floor definitely does, whether it’s salsa songs causing elegant steps between partners or the energetic moves like twerking being incited by reggaeton and merengue flowing from the elevated DJ booth. While a certain segment of the population digs mopey Goth gods like Bauhaus, were guessing that you’ll never catch anyone at Palazzo’s Saturday night shindigs sporting pleather or latex wear.
