The Grand

If you want the true pulse of downtown Phoenix on a Friday night, The Grand is the definitive destination. This isn't just a bar; it’s a historic landmark of the Phoenix nightlife scene that feels like stepping into a cinematic, Victorian-style train station. With its intricate decor and immersive atmosphere, it’s easily one of the most unique spaces in the city. ​🎧 The Power 98.3 Friday Experience ​Friday nights here are legendary thanks to the Power 98.3 takeover. If you are a hip-hop head, this is your home. What makes it special is the multi-generational energy; you’ll see everyone from the 21+ crowd vibing to new hits to the 50+ legends enjoying the classics. The DJ keeps the dance floor moving from start to finish. It’s a rare spot that stays high-energy while maintaining a respectful, "grown and sexy" vibe for all cultures. ​🍽️ Soulful Dining with a Southern Twang ​The restaurant side of The Grand is top-tier. The menu has a distinct Southern twang that is authentic and seasoned to perfection. Two standout examples you have to try are: ​The Mac of the Moment: A creamy, gourmet take on classic mac and cheese that hits the spot every time. ​The Southern-style Wings: Perfectly seasoned and crispy, they pair perfectly with the late-night energy. ​💨 Amenities & Service ​The layout is incredibly versatile, featuring two floors to explore, outside dining for catching a breeze, and dedicated hookah tables for those who want to kick back while the bass is bumping. The service I received was impeccable; my server was a total professional—chivalrous, respectful, and fast despite the bar being packed. Even the security team was cool and kept the environment smooth and safe. ​📍 KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: ​Parking: The lot is small and fills up fast! Get there early to secure a spot and a seat inside. ​Kitchen Hours: The full kitchen stays open until 2:00 AM on Fridays. ​Bar Hours: The bar serves until 2:00 AM. ​The Vibe: Friday is Hip-Hop night—dress to impress and come ready to dance! There is no cover charge.!!!!!!!!! Whether you’re here for the history, the soulful Southern eats, or the best hip-hop in the city, The Grand never misses. 💯

Came here for a pregame before our last night in Phoenix! It was pretty empty here but the drinks were fairly priced and the music was pretty good! We also got great recommendations from security for our next spots of the night! It was overall great vibes!

The aesthetic of this bar is pretty cool with the dim and dark flicker lights, but the security guards were the ones who really made this night better than it should have been. They went above their job duties by routinely checking on us to make sure we were good. So this place gets three stars because of all that. The DJs, however, were terrible! I understand the top hits but not the top hits of 1995! Plus the song transitions didn’t match up at all or they would play something good and up-to-date then switch right back to the 90s. Just meh vibes overall!

Rob ( ft in pic) was very rude. I even said "hello", I stood right in front of his register and he kept ignoring all people in my party.

Good music, great drinks and loved the crowd. The bottle service is reasonable as so worth getting the service. Celebrated my best friends birthday here and she was not disappointed. We have a great time everytime we hang out here. So worth the drive from Tucson.

We got there right before they opened so no wait on a Saturday night. Was a lot smaller than we expected compared to other reviews and pictures I’ve seen. The food was good, cheese bread was so fluffy and good and the charcuterie board was good as was. Definitely recommend the Lava Flow drink was so good. I must warn you in the Zombie drink, it was incredible strong, the sweet fruity look is deceiving. Overall wasn’t terrible but was surprised how small it was. Glad I experienced it but probably wouldn’t do it again.

I had been wanting to experience the Ghost Ship after reading about it online. Understand that the Grand and several areas within have different themes. It is a bar/nightclub first. We arrived at opening time, 5pm. We had the place to ourselves. We ordered a couple of specialty grogs and enjoyed the atmosphere. We were offered food bit had plans following this stop. We will come back for more. Argh!

It’s such a nice and hidden little business. It’s both a restaurant and a cafe shop. It’s quiet and ideal for getting some work done. There’s a few creative things in the menu like this Mac n cheese Cheeto burger. The prices are reasonable and definitely won’t leave a dent in your wallet. The restaurant itself is cute and looks appealing. Including the restrooms. They’re clean and follow the same asthetic. Go and experience it yourself! Great customer service.
