Great evening entertainment, 5 minutes by car. I've always enjoyed the stand-up comedy here. It's on High Street, which is an assortment of restaurants and bars, including a cigar bar, and dance club, all on the same street, so it makes for a nice easy evening of hopping from one venue to the next, and a short Uber ride too.

Cave Creek is about 40 minutes north of the Airbnb and offers a more casual western vibe with country line dancing bars, rodeos, and great hikes and views. My favorite spots include: Buffalo Chip (large country bar with live music and a weekly rodeo), El Encanto (Mexican with an expansive gorgeous patio) Ravens View Wine bar (go for happy hour after a hike!), Blue Wash Trailhead Hike (it has awesome views at the beginning and a little waterfall at the end!), and The Grotto Cafe (great for lunch with occasional live music). If you love the country western vibe, and want to plan a day trip here, please reach out and I can help give itinerary recommendations!
