Main Stage

Went to Cottonwood and our cab driver suggested Main Stage. So glad we went!!! Amazing music, really tasty drinks and fair pricing. Spacious inside, great smoking patio, and the staff was really welcoming and friendly. The customers were fun and friendly and it was easy to get a cab home. Such a fun time… definitely the place to go in Cottonwood!

This is the best bar in AZ! They have great service, food, cocktails and always good music. And they have delicious Bloody Marys that come with a burger on top.

Bloody Mary good. Strange menu but I finally chose the Gnocchi ala Mama. The meatball, sausage, shrimp and «Italian gravy» we’re excellent but the Gnocchi were disappointing. Asked to turn down the music but then some guy came in and blasted it again! He also turned the channel on tv I was watching to some Barn saving show :(Went there for lunch and we were the only ones there the whole time. No desserts. Disappointing.

I cannot fully review this cool local spot because I haven’t seen or heard any of the entertainment or been there on a busy night. My wife and I have had cocktails and eaten here. The food is pretty good for bar fare and reasonably priced. I would like to go back to sample some entertainment and see how things flow when it’s really busy. So for now I will put up 5 stars so as not to lower its stellar review status. I will say I was somewhat surprised by the funky vibe and friendly staff although that was entirely consistent with the reviews I read here on Unilocal

This place was great wait staff was on top of our drinks and food. I would definitely go back. This is the place to be for the thunder valley rally

OPEN SUNDAYS!!! Wife & I stopped in cuz we heard they had NFL Sunday Ticket… and wow! This place is the real deal! Rob (chef) & Stormy (bartender) were exceptionally hospitable!
Had brunch when the place opened… great dishes offered! Wife had Eggs & Potatoes which was a great meal. Well seasoned and tasted great! I ventured for a little fun and got the Donut Waffle… and it didn’t disappoint (need to have sweet-​tooth)!
For lunch, we had the Brats & Onions. AMAZING! Smoky chipotle and and sweet BBQ sauce… perfect!
Place has a couple tasty craft beers… and of course some normal American stuff. Full bar with a great choice of liquors!

Great bar. Great stage. The friendliest staff at any bar in town.
Anytime I want to go out on the town, this is always my preferred location for the night. Between DJs, Live Music, Open Mics, Karaōke, and comedy shows, there’s always a bit of variety at this venue. Something for everyone during some point of the week.
I’ve never had to worry about breaking the bank when I come to Main Stage, even when I order food! They just renovated to add a restaurant recently, and the food is great. Definitely above average for a local bar. I’m excited to see where their menu goes once they get trial and error out of the way.
As a local musician, this venue is the best spot in town to perform. They’re decked out with lighting, sound, a large stage, green room, back room, and a professional in-​house audio engineer.
This bar has only been a part of the local scene for just over a year, and the surprises keep on coming. I can’t imagine getting tired of this place anytime soon.

Great atmosphere with live DJ!
This is a great place to go for dancing and drinks. They have a really large area — dance floor for fun, bar tables for chatting, patio for enjoying weather or smoking, and art work to check out!
We went this weekend and they were having a super hero party night — we just dropped in, so we were not in costume — but no fear — they gave us cool super hero sunglasses and wrist bands! It was pretty cool — even a power ranger DJ!

When I heard this place opened I couldn’t wait to go there. A sedona band called decker. seem to play there lots, and I couldn’t wait to catch a show. The vibe is trendy but kinda hickish because it tries to look trendy (very clean, great ART, too) but then the people who come in work in Central AZ in farming, ranches, etc… it’s a very cool crowd. Drink prices were pretty good and sound worked for a small off the road place. If you live in Central AZ, this is the place to hear music. Period.

Love this venue! I can’t believe it is in Cottonwood. Wonderful sound and feel, really cool rotating local art in a little gallery, lovely patio. Great place to see bands when you want to get out of the Phoenix inferno.

Finally finally FINALLY!!! A place to see live music in cottonwood!!! Check it out peeps! Rockin good times!!!
Have some BBQ at Tamara’s BBQ, it’s yummy!

I can’t believe that there is a live music venue… in Cottonwood and even cooler that this place USED to be a church! REALLY nicely done with a great stage for the talent to play, a few «lounge areas» with couches and tables, and an open space that serves as a dance floor. There is also a perch for the audio controller.
The bar area is very cool with a nice selection of craft brews on tap and some good wine offerings.
The inside is very well lit: dark with very strategically placed lighting that really makes for an awesome atmosphere. The walls contain a lot of cool artwork so the whole place really is about art and community. I think it’s awesome that these guys took a church and remade into something so cool. Everything inside is brank spanking new-​the perfect place to take in some live music.
Food can be ordered via phone from the barbeque place behind the venue. Items on the menu include pulled pork, hot dogs, brats, burgers and a few other bites to choose from.
On the particular night I went in the band was a rock/​blues group that rocked out some pretty good tunes. This is not typical Cottonwood where «live music» usually means a solo acoustic guitarist. Nothing wrong with that but I’m just not used to electric guitars, sax and keyboards.
There is live music Thursday, Friday and Saturday. On Sundays there is «Church of Bluegrass» and there is ladies night on Wednesdays with a DJ spinning tunes. Main Stage is yet another amazing new business that is transforming this town into a destination unto itself. I am really looking to coming back here again next time I’m in the area.
