The Desert Bar is a one-of-a-kind experience located in the middle of the lower Sonoran Desert, on land that was once an old mining camp. The bar is powered by solar energy and built of many unique materials, such as old refrigerator doors and swaying steel barstools.

It is not accessible by any paved roads, and it is only open on weekends from noon until the sun goes down during the months of October until April, though sometimes the owner opens and closes at his own discretion. It accepts only cash, no cards, and it never serves cheese. But visitors shouldn’t let that stop them, because a meal at the Desert Bar is a truly unforgettable experience.
