Old school joint! I haven't been there in a while like three years. Still great acoustics I was told they run with the barn and the chairs and you can definitely tell when you come in. They are closing for Good 2027 I believe in August please check that I'm not sure but I know they are closing. read more

Just a fun place for live music at a super fair price...saw Chris Hiatt play Stevie Ray Vaughn last night! Fun! Hope the owner sells it and it stays the iconic institution it's been! I'll miss it if it's gone! read more

Rhythm Room - Chris Hiatt playing "Pride and Joy" by SRV! - Music Venues Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

My very first time ever here & what a cool venue! The acoustics here are perfect for any kind of music, as I found out. Great bartenders here for your drink pleasures but the only food you can get here are snack-sized bags of chips or pretzels. Small dance floor & as far as seats go it's wise to arrive early if you want to sit & enjoy the band. Parking lot is small too. I was here to see Cold Shott & the Hurricane Horns & they draw a great crowd. read more

Rhythm Room - Stage - Music Venues Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I'm going to my old stomping grounds in Phoenix after a 29 year hiatus and the Rythmn room was one of my favorite blues and music bar!

This place has been on my Phoenix bucket list! What a cool live music venue! Cash cover at the door so that was a little inconvenient, but otherwise it was awesome. You need to get there fairly early to get a table depending on The band I'm guessing. The band was incredible. Cold Shott and the Hurricane Horns. If you love a good fuck band you need to see them play. Drinks were average price for Phoenix. read more

Rhythm Room - Finally made it to the Rhythm Room - Music Venues Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Outstanding small club venue with great acoustics for music entertainment! The Jive Aces brought high energy and kept the place jumping from opening to closing song. Pat Roberts & the Heymakers provided equal chops to begin the night. Highly recommend either of these groups. The Rhythm Room staff was very friendly and service is fast with reasonable prices. Dance floor was full all night and the club offered a quick swing lesson before the start of the festivities. Plenty of lighted, secure parking to keep you at ease so one can enjoy the show. Even the bathroom was well maintained. My first visit, I. Will. Be. Back! read more

I for one will miss the Rhythm Room. Thank God for Joe , at AZ BBQ SHACK in Scottsdale. He's keeping the music alive. read more

This is a great venue to visit if you like being up and close to the band. The Rhythm Room has been around for as long as I can remember and holds a couple hundred people. They have been voted "Best Club for Blues" in Phoenix in previous years. My buddy and I used to come here quite regularly to see rockabilly shows before he passed away. Over the years, we saw Dale Watson, Johnny Boyd, JD McPherson, The 5.6.7.8's and The Reverend Horton Heat. I miss catching these shows with that guy. The Rhythm Room can get pretty crowded, but it is a fun venue. There is an area outside that you can hang out to smoke or if you just want to get some fresh air. The only thing that sucks is that the parking lot is really small. Get here early if you want a spot or you have to park across the street on some side street and hope you don't get towed. This area of town is a little sketchy too. read more

I really love this venue. So much that i travel from Tucson to visit. They feature different music genres but I Have seen top Blues, rock, rockabilly and harmonica showcase jams. Small, intimate w excellent acoustics. Bar is simple with huge bottled (and canned) beer selection, complimentary ice water station. No food except chips but great mexican taco spot directly across the street. Owner and staff are friendly and knowledgeable. read more

Went to this bar after a dinner date for the first time but will not be my last. I love live music and I love me some Blues. There was some talent on that stage for sure! I'm from the south and moved to Az in November. This place felt like home in many ways. It was a mature crowd , no drama; just good fun and great service at the bar! read more

I can't believe I have not been here before! Had the opportunity on Sunday evening to see Taj Farrant who is an unbelievable guitarist at just 15 years old. Never saw Hendrix or Prince before, and Sunday, they must have been smiling down on the Rhythm Room. This venue has been around since 1991and if you like the Blues, you need to checkout the venue. The building has a large bar, four walls and a stage. If you are early, you may get to sit on a bar stool or folding chair. It's really not about the ambience, it's about the music and being in a room with many people who appreciate great music. read more

No decor to speak of. Some tables,bbut mostly standing room. Order drinks at the bar; very spotty waitress service. No food. Some side/partially obstructed views. Decent but not outstanding sound system. Loud, hot room. In short ... Great place to hear some live blues !! read more

If you appreciate a local musically educated vibe... this is it!! I am in love this spot! Yes that's my nice way of saying "older" 30 and up club. read more

Maybe I caught a show on the wrong night, but I'd never go here again. The band was unorganized...figuring out what they were going to play when they got on stage. I know that musicians usually do a little bit of that on stage...but this was supposed to be a Chico Chism tribute. You'd think they would start with a little chat about Chico and then play a song; actually know how they were going to start. That's what I thought would be happening anyway. They all looked like they were high and were in their own little world. Sadly, the audience had more energy than the band. The white lead singer seemed like he was impersonating a soulful black man. I couldn't help but think I was watching a real life (not funny) version of Malibu's Most Wanted. Zero authenticity, zero respect for the historical roots of the blues. I'd call this place and assault on my sensibility. Unfortunately, my friend was visiting from NC and now this image of blues in AZ is seared in his head. To put a positive spin on it, we refer to it as an "unforgettable experience." We left before the end of the second song, and even that was too much. read more

We only recently discovered the Rhythm Room and boy, are we glad we did! This is what live blues is all about...great musicians, very friendly staff and the best value for your entertainment dollar you will find in AZ. Onsite (delicious!) BBQ and a vibe that can't be beat. read more

As local music venues go this one doesn't get much better. Nice intimate space where you can listen (and drink) to local and famous alike! You never know what or who is going to show up at the Rhythm Room. Get on there mailing list and check this place out. Best place and best price to see an intimate show. read more

This place is the one of the oldest blues/jazz clubs in Phoenix. It wears its' age with style and grace.... Some would simply call it COOOOL! There's no food except for an occasional food truck but the bar is stocked and the beer is cold. The venue itself provides a stage for acts from a bygone era in music. And God Bless Them for doing so! Bob C, you're a legend. read more

We came for the Rockabilly night and it was swinging! Lots of jitterbugs on the dance floor! It was a great time! Admission was $10 for 3 local bands from 8pm to midnight. I was glad we came early to snag a seat because it filled up fast! By 9 the place was packed! They have a large parking lot which was a relief, didn't have to worry about parking. There's a long bar and in front of the bar is the dance floor with seating around it, the stage is front and center. I like how large it is for a blues bar. For instance, Char's is a good blues bar with good music but it's too tiny and I feel claustrophobic there. I don't have that problem here, there's room to breathe and a patio! And there is also a large patio too with a nice huge graffiti mural piece of different blues singers. The first band that night was a rockabilly country band called Pat Roberts & the Heymakers. Then came Mario Moreno & the Black & Tans who were a latin rockabilly band - very cool and different than your usual rockabilly. The final, and main event was Voodoo Swing who put quite a show on. (Video attached!) It was all well worth the $10. Also, service was great! The roving bar server was wonderful, she helped everyone seated with a smile and although we picked corner seats she still checked on us every hour, while making her rounds. The gentleman at the ticket entrance was very nice and friendly too, always spoke to us with a smile as well! I'd love to give it 5 stars but it needs to have some actual food options other than regular chips and pretzels - hot meals rather than dry food. The interior also needs some TLC. read more

Great artists! Fun venue for music. Good prices on drinks too. And easy free parking.

Fun place to see your favorite band up close. I really enjoy this more than huge venues. Always a fun time.

I loved this place! Brought my dad here for his birthday weekend. He loves live music, especially being a trumpet player. The night we went the Hurricanes and Horns were playing. Excellent band!!! So passionate about music, the vocals, the artists. So amazing! We had such a great night!!!! read more

A treasure that should be considered an institution and is a must-do evening out in Phoenix! If I lived here I'd go all the time. We were on vacation in Phoenix and when I saw that there was a blues club in town, we were like, "OK, let's check it out." Then I saw that Bob Corritore, who is a monster national blues harmonica master, who plays with virtually all the top tier blues players, and who I had heard on the radio and on many recordings, was playing at the club and is actually the owner of the Rhythm Room, so we had to go. It was an amazing evening. The band was outstanding. The club has a great sound system, not too loud at all, and people were up and dancing! The staff was friendly and professional. This is not Carnegie Hall, folks, it is a seasoned Blues Club that features a wide range of regional and touring blues acts - amateurs and professionals. Support local and touring blues acts! Have some brews, by some CD's and band swag and help keep this gem of a club alive in Phoenix! read more

I met GB Leighton!!! I met GB Leighton!!! This is such a great venue for meeting and listening to bands right up close and personal. My hubs went with his bud to listen to the Hoodoo Kings all the time. RIP Trippy And he loved that he got to know so many people because of the intimate setting. This was my first visit, and I loved literally singing with GB Leighton, well it felt that way anyway. There was a dance floor. And a bar, with alcoholic and non -alcholoic drinks served. If you love music, you already know about this place, and if you love music and don't somehow know this place, then you'll enjoy a visit. read more
