Crescent Ballroom is an independent live music venue, bar, and restaurant in downtown Phoenix, AZ, opened in December 2011 by Charlie Levy (who also operates The Van Buren, Valley Bar, and La Rosa Tucson). Housed in a building originally constructed in 1917, it blends authentic Phoenix culture with nationally touring acts across indie, folk, rock, country, electronic, and hip-hop genres, alongside local Phoenix bands. Its attached restaurant, Cocina 10, serves a locally sourced Mexican-American menu (developed by chef Chris Bianco) and margaritas 7 days a week. The venue has been named Best Music Venue in Phoenix New Times multiple times. It comprises two distinct spaces: the main Ballroom (capacity ~500) and the Lounge (capacity ~300), open daily with full bar service and usually free live music.
