“but dive bar in Mesa. hands down.“

“Liz and the team at Neon Spur Bar are nothing short of amazing! From the moment you walk in, Liz makes you feel like a VIP. She attentive, and genuinely passionate about creating a great experience for everyone who comes through the door. Liz is 100% the best when it comes to hospitality.

“As a member of the Band Quasar we just played our first gig Saturday night April 22nd. Great venue and the crowd was awesome, looking forward to playing here again. Tons of fun!“

“Stopped in for a quick drink after some bowling with friends and this was a very nice spot pretty spacious very clean and service was pretty fast. My only complaint is that this business is strictly money only they do not take any cards but they do have a ATM on site.“

“No food really. It's a true classic Cowboy Bar.
Servers and Bartenders have all been very friendly and helpful. Been there maybe 5 or 6 times the past month or so. Every time we've seen excellent bands playing great music.“

“This my "Cheers. Full of friendly and interesting people. Pool is cheap and drinks are cold. I'm positive to have a great time and leave renewed and happy. Laura and Joey and the whole team are amazing people. Stop in you won't regret it. Oh, did I mention you can take your own food in. One final note worthy fact is what ever your taste in music you're bound to find a show here for on any given night.“

“Great little local spot, got a bit crowded. Drinks were good, but service could be slow at times because there was only one bartender. They have two pool tables but only one is fully usable. I would recommend if you are looking to hangout with friends and meet some cool, friendly locals. Definitely will visit again next time I'm in town.“

“They have the best tombstone pizza ever!! With pretty bartenders that provide awesome service.“

“I love this place and especially Sarah she’s the best bartender and so nice. We always have a great time there and she makes it so much better!“

“Great local watering hole.“

“This place is great. I’ve been coming here for 8 years. Great staff who don’t take guff from people with condescending attitudes. This just happened, a guy who obviously wasn’t a regular went in with a bunch of cans and was told he and the person he was with couldn’t walk in the establishment with them, like any bar would say, and the gave her attitude back as if he wasn’t the A-hole.

He said back douchily that there were no trash cans outside. There was a giant industrial bin outside where it always is. So not only was he an A-hole, he was a liar. They were kicked out. Love places that don’t take guff from jerks.“

“What a cool place! Such character! Definitely going back.“

“Stopped by here at 7am on a Sunday to ask for jumper cables to jump my scooter battery. There weren't any so me and my dog ended up staying while we waited for my mom. The staff was nice they gave him water and a slimjim and a patron shared their chips with him. He had a great time and everyone loved his Dallas cowboy jersey. I normally wouldn't drink on a Sunday, but this (I'm almost sure of it) would definitely be a bar our lord would unwind in. An over indulged couple arguing about which wataburger is the best, while a man in a ICP shirt sings louder than the jukebox speakers to the the tune of John Legends All Of Me. The nearly packed bar seemed to enjoy it and even joined it at some parts, even waking up the tired and filling them with inspiration; a là church if you will. This unexpected yet familiar place nearly made me forget it was only 7am on a Sunday and me and my dog still needed to drive my scooter home. I will definitely return for more of the unexpected, and so will my dog…for the chips and slimjims of course.

Kid-friendliness: Gave my dog slimjims.“

“fun place, Monday night bingo always a good time...staff is amazing, Jake, Gabby, Val... love them“

“Moved to Tempe for a brief 9 month period. Accidentally discovered this place one night and it has truly become my saving grace. The bartenders are amazing. Rachel: Has come to become a very good friend of mine, she’s a very true and down to earth and with it kind of woman. She’s treated me and my friends so well, I’m very much thankful for her company. She will treat you right ALWAYS. Amanda: This is the kind of woman you can truly shoot the shit with and make you laugh on a bad day. Never a dull moment at the bar when Amanda is running it. Amber: This woman is a sweetheart. Literally the rose of the facility. Sorry I missed you!
Leaving AZ in a couple days and just wanted to say a few things about these lovely ladies that have served me so graciously.
Shawna! (I’m sorry if I spelt that wrong) thank you for everything!

Highly recommend this bar! Best dive spot in Phoenix and I promise that!“
