The historic H.M. Coe House conveys a sense of the old Phoenix, before all the hustle and bustle. For a chill-out night away from the hubbub of First Friday, head to this iconic Phoenix home for a few drinks (you can bring your own as well!), great tunes and artwork and fascinating conversation.

Evan Wyloge’s minimalist paintings will be hanging from the walls, while DJ MoLo will be spinning a set or two of toe-tappin’ soul records. Archer Wave (Kenny Bump and Morgan Benavidez) will provide acoustic jams in the living room. 6-10pm
