"Since its opening in 2015, Valley Bar has stood as a cornerstone of the valley music scene. In an era saturated with subterranean speakeasy-style establishments, many of them feeling cliché, Valley Bar distinguishes itself by doing it right. The venue occupies a unique space, blending elements of a gritty underground venue with the ambiance of an understated cocktail lounge. Adjacent to the main venue is the Rose Room, a lounge-oriented space offering craft cocktails with witty names inspired by local politicians, such as “The McCain,” “Ground Control to Captain Kelly,” and “The Original Sinema.”" - Mcconnell Quinn, Nikki Buchanan
