DRINKING, AGE, AND ID RESTRICTIONS

Valley Bar is mostly a 21+ venue, unless the underage guest is accompanied by a legal guardian. Some shows will be 16+ or 18+, and will be indicated as such upon purchase. Children under the age of 13 are not permitted to attend shows at Valley Bar. This is for the safety of the minor.

Effective July 24, 2014, Arizona liquor laws changed regarding acceptable forms of identification to access alcohol. You are required to obtain a new ID within 30 days of your 21st birthday. After 30 days, your vertical ID will not be valid for alcohol purchase or entry into the 21+ areas of Valley Bar.

We strongly recommend that you bring your ID. Valley Bar is a venue that serves alcohol and it is very important for us to verify that guests who plan on drinking are of legal drinking age. In compliance with Arizona State Law, anyone 21 and older who plans on drinking alcohol will have to show a valid, non-expired, government issued photo ID; regardless of how old you look!

Anyone without proper ID, regardless of age, may be treated as an underage guest and not allowed to buy, hold, or drink alcohol. This policy is strictly enforced and any violation will result in immediate removal from the venue.

VENUE INFORMATION

Unless otherwise indicated, shows at Valley Bar are General Admission and are not seated. On occasion, we have seated shows where you may buy a specific seat at the venue. This is indicated upon purchase (on a show-by-show basis) and seating is seldom guaranteed. Guests with special needs should call in advance to make arrangements.

Category: VENUE INFORMATION

Due to Arizona State Law, our all-ages shows must include a barrier between our underage guests and those who are 21+ (who have access to alcohol). Incidentally, this is why we request that our underage guests use the south entrance of the Music Hall (only open to underage guests on show nights) after receiving their wristband; rather than pass through the north Music Hall entrance or Rose Room. Underage guests must form a line outside the venue until doors open. There is no access to the restaurant area (Rose Room) and no re-entry for underage guests.

Category: VENUE INFORMATION

The Rose Room is usually open and free to the public as long as we are within capacity requirements (except when we have a full venue event that requires a cover charge). We encourage you to hang out for shows in the Rose Room, but if you have not purchased a ticket to the show, you may not go into the Music Hall.

All credit cards left behind with open tabs will be closed at the end of the night and a 20% service gratuity will be added. Valley Bar will hold your card for 2 weeks. Cards can be claimed from the Rose Room bar during normal business hours. You must bring your photo ID to claim your card. Staff is not permitted to give your card to anyone other than the card account holder.
