About happy hour in Prescott AZ
Whiskey Row in downtown Prescott AZ is the historic bar strip on the west side of the Courthouse Plaza. The Palace Saloon has been pouring since 1877. Daily happy-hour windows run across most of downtown, with second windows late-night on Friday and Saturday on the Row.
Whiskey Row anchors
The Palace Saloon (since 1877, where Wyatt Earp drank), the Bird Cage Saloon, Matt's Saloon, the Jersey Lilly upstairs, and the Hassayampa lounge run the historic Whiskey Row strip. All take walk-ins, all run drink specials in the early evening, and live music spills onto the sidewalk most Friday and Saturday nights.
Off-Row happy-hour picks
El Gato Azul (West Goodwin) runs a creekside-patio happy hour that's the locals' first pick for after-work drinks. Park Plaza Liquor & Deli pours craft beer and cocktails on a dog-friendly patio. The Barley Hound runs a gastropub happy hour just south of the Plaza.
Seasonal events the Row plans around
Whiskey Row Marathon weekend in early May, Frontier Days late June through July 4, the Bluegrass Festival, and Whiskey Off-Road in early May all bring the Row to capacity. Christmas City lighting weekend in early December does the same for winter.
