Flagstaff Dining & Nightlife Listings
From sushi to cowboy barbecue, Flagstaff has an eclectic collection of diners and restaurants that pleases even the most discriminating. Just ask the food editors and Conde Naste Traveler, who named Flagstaff's own Brix Restaurant and Wine Bar one of the top 95 restaurants in the world in 2007. But savvy travelers can not subsist on dinner alone. Flagstaff has a thriving nightlife, offering live music almost every night of the year. Whether the mood calls for a crowded dance floor or a people watching from the corner window of a downtown wine bar, Flagstaff has it. See 2010 Visitor Guide for amenities.
