Tempe AZ Nightlife 1/2

The Mill Ave Shopping Area at the ASU in Tempe, AZ

We arrived at around 8 pm that night to mill avenue, which is located right next to the Arizona State University, ASU.
The atmosphere in mill ave is usually very pleasant.

Mill ave is full of asu students from the ASU main campus right next to it, and they are very lively and relaxed.
Mill ave is a good and secure place for window shopping, eating, and relaxing.


It has several social lounges, family restaurants, comic and literature bookstores, movies and drama theaters.
The local movie theater usually plays international movies, including Anime, so we make it a point to keep an eye out for new releases that seem to be interesting.



We first decided to eat at a local restaurant. We found that we had many choices to choose from.
There’s even a cosplay, or costume dress-up, restaurant with the staff wearing school-girl outfits.
We finally settled for a healthy measure of pizza at the local pizza shop.
If you arrive there after 9 pm, some of these places will offer a “closing” happy hour, in which you can get very delicious platters for less than half the regular price.



After eating to our hearts’ contempt, we headed out to do some window browsing and walking.Usually, the main attraction of mill ave at night is not so much what you can buy or eat, but the people you see.



Mill ave is usually a host to a number of aspiring artists and singers eager to show their skills to a passerby audience.
It’s almost always impossible to walk through mill ave without finding a band playing some jazz music, an aspiring rock star jamming to some “Greenday” with his guitar, or the occasional performer dressing up as a celebrity and dancing down the street.

Mill ave has also a wide selection of night clubs, and student after-school hangouts that play Techno, Dance, Disco, and some Hip Hop music.
It is not strictly necessary to visit them as there are other things to see, but there are definitely many choices and flavors if you really feel like having a drink and enjoy dancing.





Mill ave Tempe, AZ seems like a very fun and secure place to go out at night for some food, dancing, and socializing.
We enjoy walking through it and look forward to going back each and every time.
