The Grid: Games and Growlers

I love this place with my whole body & soul, amazing staff, amazing amenities when it comes to video games, karaoke nights, Rockband night & the vibe is what keeps me going back. Highly recommend to anyone who lives in the Mesa/Gilbert area, Good vibes n good times.

This bar has super fun and supportive atmosphere! The games are free, and they do karaoke! The food and drinks are also really good. The staff watch your back too, and make sure you're comfortable and safe.

I feel bamboozled by the good reviews of this establishment. The place was disgusting and the stench was horrid. Like they tried to clean with bleach but couldn't eliminate the smell of sweaty "armpits" or something??.We walked in, sprinted out, and drove to Total Wine. BEST DECISION OF THE NIGHT.Read the one star reviews, they tell you everything you need to know and are spot on. Issues owner says are "addressed" have not been. That smell from my visit in March 2023 is still in my nostrils....

I've been here a few times. There are plenty of games to play. From entertainment systems, board games, and some pinball machines. This will be my 3rd time here, and a lot has changed since I was last here. The food was okay. Last time, I got the chickens tenders, and tots were really good. This time, they were okay and didn't get a second dipping sauce. Even on their menu says two dipping sauce. A lot of their entertainment systems and pinball machines are gone. Their menu of beer selection has also changed. I always order their valley spiked sour beer. They used to have their week scheduled by the bar, and that is also gone. It's a decent place to come and a great place to have a night out with friends

The Grid has an eclectic, laid back, welcoming ambience. Karaoke is karaoke. The gaming stations are so remiscient of chikdhood it's like a blast from the 80s-90s to today. Fun, affordable, comfortable. Yummy, bar type fare.

I love The Grid! It is always a fun place to hang out at. Really chill vibe. I hope they bring the pinball machines back eventually. Love the drinks and food.

Absolutely incredible venue! Visited for the first time on a Tuesday night to celebrate my birthday with some friends, and the owner made us feel like VIPs. A welcoming and inviting atmosphere, deicious food, killer mocktails, and games from every era as far as the eyes can see. We came expecting to check the place out, and ended up staying all night due to having such a great time. Would highly recommend for a special occasion or just a simple night out for some fun!

The concept is great and has a lot of potential. However, there are some hygienic issues with the bathrooms (mold in toilets) and I almost fell through the chairs for gaming. Prices were decent though.

Great staff, we always have fun here. Whether you are drinking with friends on the weekend or taking the teenagers out for root beer and something to do out of trouble No fluff with an "anti-downtown&anti-touristy" kinda vibe... And in all honesty, I hate to be one of those... but; locals only plz!... Lol ? kidding.

Very cool atmosphere to where you can drink beer, eat from a menu with plenty of choices and play games on almost every gaming platform. The owner is real nice and listens to customers opinions. I really enjoyed this place and will return even if I am alone.

It was okay. Pinball machine wasn't on. Seems like maintenance was low. Great if you wanna make local friends but not for an out of state bar stop. Staff was friendly though.

Went for karaoke Thursday with my wife. Very non judgemental crowd and host. One of the only places I've ever seen with a tournament style Killer Queen setup. The cover charge is almost nother and there are a lot of free homebrew games to play. Great seeing the innovation, I hope they're able to stick around indefinitely.

Went in with our son for Karaoke and some drinks. Cover for the event was very reasonable, drinks were great, food was pretty good also. All around a great experience. They have Butterbeer!

Wish the place was a little bit bigger or had more places to sit at because when kareoke started instead of letting us play some of the customers just sat by some of the games to watch the people sing and weren't playing the games.The kitchen looked very messy so we didn't order any good but the drinks were amazing and this place was fun and had different events every day.

A dive arcade bar hosting karaoke, just dance, rockband, RPGs, comedy, multiple genres of live and dance music events and a large collection of modern and vintage console and cabinet games. Beer/wine bar, no liquor. The one-man kitchen is VERY good, providing vegetarian/vegan options. It's not perfect but neither am I, so I fit right in.
