The sunset fades and downtown comes to life as you dine in the skyline. The Churchill is a community-driven gathering place located in the heart of the Roosevelt Row Arts District. The open-air shipping container design is the first of its kind in Phoenix and is a unique attraction for locals and tourists alike.

The menu features specialty cocktails, inventive small plates, cast-iron meats, steaks, and eclectic entrees.
For a singular dining experience, treat your date to a dinner hosted by this unique event company.

Word to the wise: these popular dinners tend to sell out quickly, so grab tickets while you can.
