Part of the Gay Phoenix Guide — bars, events & things to do.
Phoenix, Arizona
Melrose show lounge with named drag productions and karaoke nights.
The show lounge of the Melrose strip, on 7th Avenue since 2009 (originally La Roca). Where Charlie's is the country bar and Stacy's is the cathedral conversion, The Rock is built for performance: a dedicated showroom separate from the main bar hosts shows, comedy, and karaoke. Out back there's a large patio with arcade games and dart boards, giving the place a casual second mode between shows. It is the place on the strip for a sit-down show rather than a dance floor.
