PHOENIX — Gracie’s Tax Bar is opening “Club Contact,” a sister concept that’ll be down the street from the downtown Phoenix bar.

“We’re opening a night club,” said Grace Perry, owner of Gracie’s Tax Bar, in an announcement video posted on social media. Perry shared that the new destination will be a place for “live music, late night.”

According to Perry, the club will open on April 4 at 747 W Van Buren Street in Phoenix.

Club Contact will take over the former Thundercat Lounge; an 80s, 90s dance club concept that closed its doors back in November. The previous venture was a sister concept of Thunderbird Lounge.

Thundercat Lounge had opened in a historic building in which prompted several renovations to the location.

“[We] spent about a year and a half on design blueprints, working with immersive companies,” said Jeremiah J. Gratza, co-owner of Thundercat Lounge, which closed less than a year after opening.
