Crescent Ballroom

A Phoenix gem! Cool, hip restaurant bar in front of a truly amazing and surprisingly sizable music venue . Great bands every night. And oh... really good food.

Love this place. Here mostly for music & events . Food wise... Surprisingly good! Mexican fare. The carne asada burrito was outstanding and their homemade salsas/hot sauces are to die for! Stop in!

Had 2 burritos from the bar , were really good, especially with salsa . A great spot for a close up n' personal experience with your favorite artist (as long as you get there early.) Same for seating.

Yummy burrito bowls and tacos to go with the drinks. The outdoor patio is a great place to chill . Different artist also come and play at this venue.

Best small venue in Phoenix Metro. Sound is great, it's pretty intimate but you still get to dance like no one cares. Bands seem to really enjoy playing here.

Great concert venue even better restaurant and bar ! Delicious Mexican fare: guacamole ( is that pineapple I tasted, yum! ) tacos and burritos ( the barbacoa was amaze! Tots !!

The most recent addition to the cocktail list is the New Old Fashioned , which is a mix of Jim Beam's Devil's Cut bourbon , simple syrup , and water muddled with strawberries , oranges , bitters , and mint . Read more

It's a hell of a venue that's intimate and friendly and innovative. So many good people, vibes and drinks. People are very cigarette sharing friendly too as long as you smile and say please.

Being under 21, my impression of Crescent Ballroom is solely based on the music . I really enjoy the diversity of bands they have, and they're the venue I most frequently check for upcoming shows.

Great venue - bar and restaurant up front - seating and bar in the music hall. Intimate setting for music and friends.

I came here to see Toadies and to see OFF! Raucous shows. I see people with backpacks. I wear a backpack to the EELS, and I get turned away. I walked back home to drop it off. Be consistent!!

Amazing, intimate music venue with an awesome restaurant .

Amazing venue for live music . This place is so intimate it will feel as if it is just you and the artist in the room. Perfect hangout for you and your friends.

Fun bar with inexpensive drinks and decent food, And fun live acts. What's not to like?

It is a really neat place. I like the atmosphere a lot. They have pretty good burritos and I really liked their honey badger cocktail .

The Stella Artois on draft here is delicious, and decently priced. This is one of the only venues where the food is as good as the musical performances ! Chips and homemade salsa hit the spot nicely.

Hooray for a music venue that DOESN'T subject you to a TSA pat down. The bouncers are super nice, and they have free ice water for under-age concert patrons. Favorite in Phoenix.

2012 Best of Phoenix Winner: Best New Music Venue ! Expect a "who's who" of indie tastemakers, folk troubadours and art rock icons live over a crystal-clear sound system . Read more

$3 PBR cans? Yikes. But great acoustics , incredible music , and amazing food- try the chicken quesadilla . Make sure you take your plastic cup into the "venue" section- no bar glasses allowed!

This a place I could call home. Everyone looks after each other. Crescent is a community which fully describes the future movement of downtown Phoenix.

Tacos are great! Good vibe and music although food took a while this time.

I saw the Clinic here and this place was great! The acoustics were awesome and the atmosphere was friendly . It was downtown Phoenix in a fun part.

I attended a concert here earlier last year. While it's a bit strange how they separate up the over and under 21 crowds, it doesn't take away from the extremely close and fantastic atmosphere.

Check Facebook for specials... Got a mini bean and cheese burrito for $3 at lunch . Yummy! If you can't drink alcohol order a ginger beer and pretend!

This venue has great sound, good beers on tap , and is quite intimate . They bring in lots of bands across many genres.

The Mexican wrestling night was awesome! Loved the Spanish singers too!

Late night dance parties , great shows and plenty of beer choices . I don't know what there is to dislike here!

See a show here! This is one of the best live music venues in the Valley!

Great venue with solid sound system , excellent staff , and a chill vibe.

this is an awesome venue for live music . lots of fantastic shows here. ????????

Great full bar , very fun events ! Also surprisingly great food for a bar/music venue.

Make sure you check out both bars before ordering to see what beers are on tap . Each bar often has some different drafts on tap .

If you order a drink at the front bar & plan to go in the main room to watch a show, let them know so they put it in a plastic cup instead of a glass--saves you from getting stopped at the door.

This place has excellent live music . We are lucky to have it. I like the beer . Which kind? All the kinds.

Mention New Times when ordering during Wednesday lunch to get 20% off your bill - it's part of their 80s Wednesdays promotion running July-August 2012.

This is the perfect sized venue, plus nachos . Amazing.

Crescent has quickly become an iconic staple in the CenPho scene. If you haven't been, treat yo' self

Go for lunch on Tuesdays & Thursdays for a mindblowing bean and cheese burrito and a beverage for only $5!

I make a point to go to a show early and hungry. Great burritos and brews. I never miss a show at Crescent.

There's seating in the back if you want to relax at a more chilled out concert , but you might want to save those early because they tend to fill up.

One of Downtown Phoenix's best kept secrets. Great place to see a band.

The best venue in phx yet and solves my weeknight problem. How do u go home, change, eat and make it in time for the opening band. Restaurant on site.

Someone wrote a tip that there are only two unisex bathrooms . This is actually false. In the back of the venue, there are two separate men's and women's bathrooms with numerous stalls in each.

The Lalo Burger may be one of the best in the Valley. Where's your fav burger ?

The free flamenco dancing was great! It is every Sat night from 6 to 8 PM.

Ask Bruce to give you his juice .its most ripe when he's wearing his gold underware.

Seating the the side of the stage is great if you don't have someone standing right in front of you.

Buy any menu item on Tuesday and get a free ticket to an upcoming show!

Cocina 10 Ensalada is soooo bomb!

I love that you can chill in the Lounge and still hear the tunes from the Ballroom pretty pretty well .
