There are so many cool places around Phoenix, and I have so much fun exploring this city! Numerous places around town have a retro vibe, too, including the place I’m going to tell you about today. Welcome to the Thunderbird Lounge, a retro adult arcade in Phoenix, Arizona that everyone should visit at least once. Between the old-school video games and cocktails, this may become your favorite go-to spot in town if it isn’t already!

Located in the historic Wagon Wheel Building in the iconic Melrose District, Thunderbird Lounge is a popular and beloved watering hole that offers a whole lotta fun!
