The Duce

Looking for a unique eco-urban vibe for your bachelor/bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner or next fundraiser? . . . head straight to The Duce in downtown Phoenix. I stopped in with no expectations and came away with placing it on my fav list!  This warehouse space is straight-up old school with exposed brick walls and cement floors, however the inside is filled with surprises in every corner.  It’s a store with funky vintage items and re-purposed army fatigues to buy; a restaurant with, hands down, some of the best comfort food in town all cooked out of an Airstream trailer in their courtyard; a retro soda station, cool dance floor and gritty boxing ring! The indoor/outdoor ambiance invites a relaxed flow as your guests will bounce from getting down on the dance floor to smacking their lips after a bite of their sweet, sticky ribs or sumptuous sliders.

Keep it real . . . use dried flower buds to create a sign like this with your names to place over your sweetheart table or to welcome guests to your wedding.  Stress-less make this weeks in advance by using dried flowers instead of fresh.  After the wedding, keep the sign or remove the flowers and re-purpose in your home decor glued to picture frames, layered in glass jars or re-crafted as a wreath.  These touches will help keep your love in bloom for years to come!

Patio Pleaser.  Invite your girls or guys to the patio for a “bach” party to fuel up for the antics ahead or gather your family for a cozy rehearsal dinner.

Swing or Hustle your way to the music on this dance floor painted with dance step moves . . . this place is jammin on Fri and Sat nights with tunes spinning out all types of beats.
