According to the website of the city of Flagstaff, Arizona, the city itself is located at 7,000 feet in the world's largest ponderosa pine forest. Although many tourists visit Flagstaff on their way to other Arizona attractions including the Grand Canyon, Sedona or the Coconino National Forests, the town is home to many attractions of its own. Museums, natural areas, restaurants and shops are all options, as are several bars and nightclubs that appeal to locals and tourists alike.
The Museum Club, built in 1931, boasts Arizona's largest wooden dance floor and an 1880's mahogany back bar. According to its website, the club is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and has also received many accolades for its atmosphere and drinks. The Museum Club is open daily from lunch through late night and offers off-track betting during the day. Live country and western music is offered in addition to special events and drink specials.
