Night Life

Night life in Prescott mostly centers on “Whiskey Row,”  just across from the Square.  Music, dancing and good times roll as the rest of the town quietly sleeps.  Here are some popular hot spots in and around the Row…

  •  Jersey Lilly Saloon: Great live music and bar.  Hang out on the porch overlooking the Square.
  •  Matt’s Saloon: One of Prescott’s last true Honky Tonks.
  •  Hassayampa Hotel: Beautifully restored 1927 hotel, two blocks from the Row.  Tamer time, with live music most nights.
  •  Thumb Butte Distillery: A little further off the Whiskey Row path, but not far.  Dancing and live music in the bar attached to the distillery.
