It seems Post Malone wasn’t ready to wind down with Netflix or a favorite novel after rocking State Farm Stadium in Glendale on Saturday, June 21.
Instead, he headed to Gracie’s Tax Bar in downtown Phoenix to keep the party going until the lights went up at 2 a.m.
Grace Perry, who opened the beloved dive bar eight years ago in a space that previously housed the Abbey Tax Group on Seventh Avenue just south of McKinley Street, wasn’t there when the multiplatinum superstar dropped by.
“I wish I was there,” Perry says. “But he hung out ‘til close. I only know that because there’s a picture with the lights on and we only turn the lights on if it’s the end of the night.”

Post Malone was ‘very gracious, very kind’ at Gracie’s Tax Bar
She heard all about it, though, and now has nothing but respect for Posty.
“From all my staff, he was very gracious, very kind, talked to anybody who wanted to, took pictures with anyone who wanted to,” Perry says. “He was very lovely, is what I heard.”
Malone also left a very gracious tip, the likes of which bartenders generally never see, although Perry won’t officially confirm what’s said to be an astronomical amount.
“I’m not gonna say how much, but he was very generous,” she says.
“We split it evenly with the whole staff. I obviously would never take a dime. But I was just so happy that he was so kind to our staff. That’s really what made me the most happy. Money like that, it matters more to security guards, bartenders. That’s a really big deal, but it’s not a big deal to him. I just feel like that was a really kind gesture.”
