the building is the story

The main room at Roosevelt washed in red light

Four thousand square feet rebuilt from the studs. Dance floor, stage and lounge seating under one black ceiling, with room for five hundred.

  • Capacity 500
  • Stage and dance floor
  • Lounge seating
The Funktion One dance stack lit pink during install

The room was built around a Funktion One rig, the only one in an Arizona nightclub, tuned with studio treatment so every record hits full without shouting.

  • Funktion One system
  • Studio acoustic treatment
The screening setup glowing red with the Cinehaze logo on screen

Where the records live. The DJ booth doubles as a projection booth, a straight nod to the eleven years this room spent as FilmBar. Selectors on the weekend, reels once a month.

  • Projector and screen
  • Cinehaze residency
  • The old FilmBar marquee
Banquette seating beside the dance floor in low red light

Same name, softer landing. Deep banquettes off the dance floor that keep your table, your drinks and your people together while the room does its thing.

  • Banquette seating
  • Off the dance floor
The full back bar glowing under the brass canopy

The centerpiece. A long rail under a floating brass canopy, stocked deep and lit like a scene, with Beverage Director Nick running the cocktail program. Happy hour is two for one, four to six.

  • Full cocktail program
  • Happy hour 4 to 6pm
Chef Walter in the Roosevelt kitchen under green light

Walter Sterling of Ocotillo leads the kitchen. Snacks, movie night popcorn and a proper menu are in the works, built to feed a long night.

  • Led by Walter Sterling
  • Menu in development
Rotating local artwork glowing on one of the venue art screens

Out the side door, under the palms. Lightboxes on the patio wall rotate work from local artists, with more art screens running inside, and Roosevelt Row at the front door.
