What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

The Duce occupies a converted 1928 warehouse in downtown Phoenix's Warehouse District, combining a restaurant, bar, live-music stage, and event space with a vintage retail and antique aesthetic. The business opened in 2010 as a mixed concept blending dining with curated secondhand goods, according to PHX Rail Food. A Yelp listing for the address, updated in September 2026, records current operating hours running Thursday through Sunday evenings, with Sunday service from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The venue's own website, theducephx.com, now markets The Duce primarily as a live-music, rooftop-bar, and private-events destination rather than emphasizing the sit-down diner concept described in earlier coverage. No named source documents any change in ownership or business name.
