Greater Prescott’s locally owned bars, wineries, vineyards, and breweries are some of the top gathering spots in our community. They sell us some of the finest libations in the state, country, and world while giving us lively yet comfortable places to meet friends old and new. We can go to where the grapes are grown, the beers are brewed or the fruit is fermented, or where the end product is served (or not, in the case of Arizona’s largest self-serve taproom).
Yes, it’s about the “buzz,” but it’s also about the buzz of talking to and just being around other people.
Our local business owners, brewers, barkeeps, and waitstaff have the pulse of the people of Greater Prescott like few others. They know what the community likes to drink, eat and discuss. In the end, they know how to create a place where everybody knows your name.

Matt’s Saloon
Matt’s Longhorn Saloon has been a part of Prescott’s famous “Whiskey Row” since the early 1960s and is still going strong today as one of Prescott’s last true Honky Tonks. Occupying the historic D. Levy Building, built-in 1901 as a mercantile, then becoming a saloon just at the end of prohibition in 1934, Matt’s Saloon has become an internationally recognized and highly acclaimed destination for country music. Great country-western acts such as Buck Owens, Lee Hazelwood, and Waylon Jennings entertained Matt’s customers in the early to mid-60s, and more recently, in 2003, Andy Griggs and Leland Martin performed. Even legendary rock & roller Bruce Springsteen has a special connection with Matt’s Saloon.
Stop by to make a friend, enjoy a cold one and two-step the night away on their magnificent 1,200 square-foot oak dance floor. Take a look back in time as their picture-covered walls capture the endless memories Matt’s has given to many over the past forty years.

Rafter Eleven
Dawn Wasocwicz, the owner of Rafter Eleven, calls herself a rancher’s daughter. She created Rafter Eleven in the heart of Prescott Valley for three reasons. First, to honor the past because where the Rafter Eleven store sits today used to be part of the original ranching land. Secondly, to pay tribute to her father for providing the Rafter Eleven legacy, which is honesty, integrity, effort, and to provide an opportunity where we live. Lastly, to create a place where the community could truly connect!
The Rafter Eleven brand holds great meaning for Dawn. The Eleven represents the pillars of this community: those who laid the foundation before, the Chamber of Commerce, the Town of Prescott Valley, the visionaries, and the ranchers. The Rafter, or the rooftop, is the piece that Dawn is creating; a place where Prescott Valley can bring their family and friends and connect — a place of great quality coffee, incredible olive oils, and balsamic vinegars, exquisite wines, in a beautiful space that feels like home to everyone who comes in!

LazyG Brewhouse
What started out as a love of beer and breweries turned into a dream of building our own place. From the humble beginning of a vintage trailer park (circa 1945), purchased in 2007, we started planning the transformation to the LazyG Brewhouse. In 2018, finally able to devote the time needed to see our plans come to fruition, construction got underway – from the ground up.
Stepping into the LazyG, our open concept with bright artwork and a view into the brewery has an inviting feel. A roll-up glass garage door brings the outside in when the weather is right. The Park is a great outdoor space (dog friendly) with picnic tables, big chairs, firepits, and a stage for live music on weekends. Enjoy a beer made by our award-winning brewer served from our iconic outdoor bar. Experience Craft & Comfort.
