2012 Best Place to Hear Music29 W. Southern Ave. Tempe, AZ 85282 480-967-4777
When the logo is the words “Yucca Tap Room” shaped into a guitar, you know what’s up. Usually just called “Yucca Tap,” this music venue has offered free live music every single night since the early 1970s. Local, national and even international artists perform every kind of music, and the regular act is Blunt Club, a Thursday-night mainstay that mixes hip-hop, reggae, dubstep, funk and electro acts. In case that isn’t enough, the place also has a separate tap and whiskey room with 28 beers on tap and 200-plus in bottles and cans, as well as a pizzeria, dubbed Speakeasy Pizza. There’s no better place to pretend that Monday is Saturday.
