Zane Grey Bar, Ballroom & Balcony

Perched atop the historic Weatherford Hotel in downtown Flagstaff, the Zane Grey Bar, Ballroom & Balcony offers an unparalleled cocktail experience with stunning views of Leroux Street and the surrounding San Francisco Peaks. This iconic venue, named after the legendary Western author Zane Grey who famously stayed at the hotel during his hunting expeditions in Northern Arizona, captures the spirit of the Old West while serving contemporary craft cocktails. The spacious balcony provides the perfect vantage point to soak in Flagstaff's vibrant downtown atmosphere, especially during the evening hours when the historic district comes alive. The bar hosts regular live music events featuring local bands, energetic drag shows through their popular Dragstaff series, and themed parties that draw both university students from nearby Northern Arizona University and visitors returning from Grand Canyon adventures. The interior boasts exposed brick, warm wooden accents, and vintage photographs depicting Flagstaff's rich history as a key stop on Route 66. Whether you're seeking a classic Old Fashioned while watching the sunset over the mountains or looking for the best nightlife spot in downtown Flagstaff, the Zane Grey Bar delivers an authentic Arizona experience that has been serving the community for decades. The venue opens daily at 2 PM and transforms into the city's premier evening entertainment destination as night falls.
