It's just not as cohesive as downtown Tucson and I'm not sure if I'd call your route continuous.

I think he was saying there are 4 or 5 separate areas with a bunch of options within walking distance. I don't think he's saying you can walk between all 5 easily. Although downtown and the Roosevelt are definitely withing walking distance (or if you're lazy light rail)... I've done that multiple times. Then you can now take light rail home after 2am on the weekend. There were many places jsmscaleros didn't even mention downtown or in Roosevelt area (the two are merging). The old Jefferson St. bar, the bars at the Hyatt and the Wyndham, Moira Sushi (and Sake bar), Rose & Crown, Bar Bianco, Portlands, Sens.... etc. I think you (and definitely poconoboy) are greatly underestimating downtown Phoenix's nightlife now-a-days, and I could go on, depending on your style, but I doubt you'll ever go to the Ruby Room. And I'm probably underestimating Tucson's.
