Another Track Club update: Cocktails and live music will fill the downtown space after all
Tirion Morris - Arizona Republic
The historic DeSoto Building in downtown Phoenix has been on quite the ride over the last few years. And the space is about to evolve again.
Track Club, an ultra-modern EDM night club opened in the space in October, 2019. Less than one month later, the club abruptly closed.
Track Club was a collaboration between Phoenix developer Charles "Chuckie" Duff, Relentless Beats music promoter Thomas Turner and Rattle and Rum cocktail expert Damon Scott. The team attributed the closure to "personal health issues," Duff wrote in a statement to The Republic in 2019.
In January 2021, former Track Club manager Pat Brocco told The Republic he'd be taking over the space and turning it into a gym by the same name. Brocco created coaching brand Possible Pat after losing more than 300 pounds and sharing his fitness journey with "Ellen," "Good Morning America" and other major media outlets.
This summer, there will be a new twist to the building's story. While Brocco still plans to open his gym, the front portion of the large building will now house Tru Ultra Lounge, a new cocktail bar and music venue.
"The gym is still on track," Brocco says. "But we wanted to provide a really upscale environment for downtown."
