The new Phoenix Suns arena will be one massive bar crawl

The Corner Bar

If fans didn’t get enough to drink in the lobby, they are in luck. When they come through the primary entry point into the arena, they will be greeted what is being dubbed the Corner Bar.

The tagline for this bar is that it is open to all ticket holders, meaning this is the least exclusive bar inside the arena.

Having said that, there only appears to be about four chairs, so if your tickets are in the nose-bleeds and you score a seat at the Corner Bar, you may have just upgraded yourself.

Otherwise, it looks to be standing room only at this watering hole, which is still likely an upgrade from the rafters. Clear sight lines to the court at the drinking rail might be the place to be during a close game in the 4th quarter.

Part of me thinks putting a bar here is wasting some prime real estate, but in this new world, the Suns are taking the approach that adding a bar makes the real estate more valuable.
