About The Big Fish Pub

The Big Fish Pub has a storied place in Tempe’s live-music scene. While the original Tempe location at 1954 E. University Dr. (85281) closed in 2014 and now houses 360 Physical Therapy, the Big Fish name lives on in the wider Arizona music landscape as Big Fish Theatre in Mesa. This page covers the historic Tempe site, its legacy, and practical details for fans exploring the area today—from parking and transit to nearby hotels and dining. Whether you’re tracing classic performances by Grey Daze, Eagles of Death Metal, Hoobastank, 30 Seconds to Mars, or John Mayer’s 2001 show, we’ve got you covered with an insider’s guide to securing your seats and planning your night in downtown Tempe.

For fans visiting the Mill Avenue/Downtown Tempe corridor, consider nearby lodging such as Tempe Mission Palms, along with a curated list of dining options. Keep in mind that official seating charts for the original venue aren’t publicly published; third-party ticket platforms may provide seating layouts. When you’re ready to plan your night, think easy logistics: park in nearby garages like the 100 Mill Parking Garage, take Valley Metro light rail from Mill Ave/3rd St or 5th St/College Ave, or hop on a streetcar/bus network to Mill Avenue. We’ve got you with reliable details to help you secure your seats and plan a smooth, no-fuss outing to Tempe’s historic music scene.
