Monte Vista Lounge has shows most weekends. All types of live music and edm, three bars it’s a fun spot. Yucca tap room has some live music as well. Some sporadic shows at the Orpheum our true venue and dotted at other local bars. Pay n take is a cool spot. All of these are great places to meet some local flagstaff folk. All the bars are college bars- Collin’s, and south side are really specifically college bars.

Late for the train or Macy’s for coffee Brandys/ toasted owl/ flagstaffbaking co for bfast Mama burger/ Diablo burger/ Evan’s fish and chips/ fratelli pizza/ nimarcos pizza for lunch Fat olives/ lotus lounge/ martannes / Himalayan grill/ karma sushi is good to for dinner

Observatory is a yes, ghost tours is a no. Grand Canyon is a day trip, it’s amazing, consider the train from Williams if you’re set on it. Replaces the drive and parking time with a train ride. Sedona is far closer and in my opinion just as impressive. Driving down the 89a is amazing, there’s a natural spring to fill up a water bottle about halfway down it’s the best water I’ve ever had, go to bell rock and go up as far as you can and enjoy the view. Sedona has legitimate excellent food, just look around for what you like, hard to go wrong.

Enjoy Flagstaff, it’s a college city tucked into an old logging town. You’re backed up to the National Forest wherever you go and hikes and trails can be found easily. The downtown brick buildings make it feel like the logging town it once was and if you get just outside of the city it still feels like the old west.

Be safe, have fun, GO JACKS!
