The Ra Ra Room ushers in a new level of opulence when it comes to catching your favorite sports team in action at PHX Arena in Arizona. As the first-ever members-only private dining club within a sports and entertainment venue, The Ra Ra Room brings together a sumptuous food menu, a world-class wine list, personalized concierge service, and an elegant setting that rivals any big-city social club.
The Ra Ra Room is a next-level Art Deco-style speakeasy and a $20-million collaboration between Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury owner Mat Ishbia and global hospitality company Major Food Group, which is known for hot spots like CARBONE, The Grill, and Dirty French. The Ra Ra Room marks Major Food Group’s first venture in Phoenix.
“The Ra Ra Room is another example of our commitment to continue to elevate Phoenix as the premier destination for sports, entertainment, and now high-end hospitality,” says Matt Ishbia, owner of Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury, in a press release. “The Ra Ra Room is designed to be a destination in and of itself with the added convenience of Phoenix’s best sports and entertainment offerings in the very same building. Together with Mario [Carbone], Jeff [Zalaznick], and Rich [Torrisi of Major Food Group], we have created a one-of-a-kind experience that can only be found in Phoenix.”
The speakeasy-style setting, which is found in the event level of the arena, offers members an exclusive dining and social experience, with exquisite cuisine and a world-class wine and spirits list. Major Food Group (known for next-level dining concepts such as CARBONE, The Grill, Dirty French, ZZ’s Club, Sadelle’s, and Contessa in its lineup) will bring many of its widely adored classics, like Caesar alla ZZ and CARBONE’s spicy rigatoni vodka and veal parmesan, to the menu at The Ra Ra Room.
“The Ra Ra Room is an extraordinary opportunity to merge luxury hospitality with the vibrant energy of Phoenix sports and entertainment,” says Carbone, in a press release. “It’s designed to deliver an elevated experience that redefines hospitality standards in Phoenix and beyond. We’re excited to partner with Mat to bring this unparalleled vision to life in a way that only MFG can.”
Beyond it elevated food and drink menu, the ultra-glamorous space also has a lavish pantry stocked with gourmet snacks, and a personal concierge will provide unparalleled service for its members.
Member benefits include admission of additional guests, personal concierge for reservations and other event needs, valet parking, access to a pair of private dining rooms, presale access to NBA, WNBA, concert and other events, and more. The annual membership fee is $15,000.
The Ra Ra Room is open during every Phoenix Suns home game, select Phoenix Mercury games and concerts, and every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, regardless of PHX Arena’s event schedule.
