6. Chez Nous Cocktail Lounge
For ages, the small Chez Nous Cocktail Lounge – engrossed in velvet darkness and dangerous links -- stood watch against formulaic nightlife at the overlap of Seventh Avenue and Indian School Road

7. Q Lounge
Q Lounge is adjacent to Bobby Q's, a barbeque restaurant that took over the space that was occupied by Bobby McGees for several years. Diners at Bobby Q's can go next door to the Q Lounge. This evening club has the standard array of beautiful people, but there are also call down hrs, plots and contests, and munchies. Whenever Scottsdale's too far or as well foo-foo, Bobby Q's is near Metrocenter.

8. Coyote Alley
I admit it. This isn't a glitzy nightspot like some of the other people named here. I do not believe that Beyonce or Ryan Philippe are stopping over in here. Hey, it's in Surprise! It's mostly country, and mostly a bar with entertainment and dancing -- disk-jockeys and live bands. There aren't many other options permanently nightlife in the north-west part of township.

9. Rockin' Rodeo
Graham Central Station in Tempe is 4 clubs in one, but I spotlight Rockin' Rodeo on this list, because there aren't as many country dance clubs in the area as one might expect. This one's amazed a big dancing floor. Checkout the event calendar for credit line dancing lessons.
