Charley's Place is a Glendale nightlife favorite for many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that this friendly bar and grill keeps its kitchen open until 10 o'clock every night except on Sunday. Plus, the many pool tables and dart boards make it fun to hang out after work and well into the evening. There's also karaoke every Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights for all those American Idol wannabes!

Zola Bell's is one of those places that appeals to nearly all of your senses. Reach out and touch the impressive selection of classic books and toys. Gaze with wonder at the detailed works of pottery and stunning pieces of glassware. You can even taste some of the old time candy that is for sale here and smell the sweet aroma of it as you purchase a bag to munch on while you shop. Zola Bell's also features an extensive selection of antiques, jewelry, primitives, tools and various works of art.

Glendale's Deer Valley Rock Art Center will challenge what you know about art. In more than one way, this attraction will “rock” your world, as the center houses several unique examples of rock paintings and petroglyphs. Some of these impressive rock sculptures are displayed outside the venue, and can be seen in all their glory along the adjacent walking path. As you move along this picturesque trail, you will also be treated to the sight of a beautiful garden and an impressive amphitheater.
