"Since 1947, The Bikini Lounge has stood as a quintessential embodiment of Phoenix’s essence. While many new establishments attempt to replicate the inherent kitschiness of a loosely tiki-themed dive bar with over half a century of history, capturing the true soul of a place like The Bikini Lounge proves to be a challenge. Don’t expect an expertly made cocktail, but with cheap and strong drinks, you are guaranteed to at least get your money’s worth. Amidst the rapid transformations of the Grand Ave area, The Bikini Lounge remains a taste of old Phoenix while also embracing and influencing the evolving Phoenix culture. Operating from 3 p.m. to 2 a.m. every night of the week, be sure to bring cash, as The Bikini Lounge operates on a cash-only basis." - Mcconnell Quinn, Nikki Buchanan
