Nightlife in Prescott, AZ

The region’s compact downtown is easy to navigate on foot, and most venues stay open well into the night. On any given evening, visitors might find a local band performing in a corner bar, a small crowd gathering for trivia, or a quiet booth with house-made cocktails and late-night bites.
