I'm new to town but I have started to check out the EDM festivals in town. Sunbar Tempe is one of them and I stopped by late on a Friday night to see DJ Habibeats. Located in the heart of the action in downtown Tempe, where Arizona State students go out, parking doesn't come easy. At least if you're looking for free parking. Even a lot of the residential areas are permit only. I found an area where I could park late night but it was a 15 minute walk. No worries though, I love to get my steps in! While it's a little confusing, the entrance to Sunbar Tempe for concerts isn't at the front of the club. It's behind in the parking lot. After going to the wrong place, the bouncer directed me to where I had to go. Upon getting through, I saw that they have a nice patio. While it would have been nice to check it out, I was there for the music so I made my way downstairs. At one end, you have a long bar. I went with a seltzer. Despite being super busy, the service was friendly and efficient. From there, I made my way to the other end where the DJ is set up. There are some VIP areas that surround the dance floor and the stage. I'm a man of the people so I was general admission. There's a good size dance floor and even with that, it was packed on a Friday night (around 12:30 p.m.). Despite it being in a basement, it's a nice underground club. The stage is well made, giving the DJ the ability to add light effects and video. And the A/C was running well which is important when you're in a big crowd. Out of the EDM venues I've been to so far in Phoenix, Sunbar Tempe is my favorite. They are a brunch spot too but I was there late night so I can't comment on that. I'll be back!

Came here for Dj Habibeats the venue was very spacious and clean. As for the bar downstairs it was nice and big and it was very busy but looked like fun. They have a dj as well and a good menu for food. Cute for a date night if you like the outdoors.

Awesome tables great brunch. waffles were fabulous The seats were a little sticky, but we loved the food in the ambience and the one penny champagne bottles with an entrée on the weekends

I've been here for both Sunday brunch and the concert (which is a bit further, in the corner of the street). EDM focused bar. Brunch is a nice value as you get a full bottle of champagne with your meal. The meal quality depends on who is cooking that day, it's either ok or Amazing. For concerts I found that there was great ventilation. There is a bar in the back, and clean bathrooms to the sides of the bar. Would recommend earplugs (for any concert really) as the speakers are really loud. Music is always good here.

Walked over to Sunbar after having sushi next door. After passing by this place earlier and hearing the music, my friends and I all wanted to check it out. The dj was playing some really good music! We grabbed a round of drinks at the bar and sat at one of the bigger tables. We were outdoors but the misting system was on so it helped a bit. We got a second round and as we were close to being done, the power went out in the area! We had to wait a bit so staff could figure out how to close everyone out. They were eventually able to find a way and we headed to the next spot indoors with ac lol. Each round was $51 for 5 drinks. Not bad! This would be a nice patio bar when it's cooler for sure. Especially, if it's the same dj playing the same type of music!

Sunbar's an ideal place for brunch, especially since each entree comes with a bottle of champagne for mimosas. The brunch menu is small but full of promising dishes. Not a single person at my table complained about their meal, and I was really happy with the brunch special I got! -- smoked salmon bagel. I don't believe this is part of Sunbar's menu all the time, but I really wish it were because I enjoyed it :) The vibes here are cool. There are live DJ's here during brunch, making for a nice outing with friends.

Came here for a Saturday brunch and it was great. We were quickly seated and the service was quick and very friendly. Shoutout to our lovely waitress I'm so sorry I forgot your name. Chicken and waffles were very yummy. All the entrees come with a $0.01 bottle of champagne which is awesome but if you want juice it's like $4 for a tiny little vile of juice lol. Great music and great vibes. Would love to come back.
