Bar 1 has been my favorite LBGTQ+ bar since I moved to Phoenix in 2005. if you enjoy the patio scene, it's always full of interesting conversations you could jump into. Inside you have your choice, sit on the leather couches alongside the fireplace, stand, sit at the retro style bar table *yes its a full length table in one, made from concrete with plenty of bar stools to find a seat, even easier to jump into a conversation for as long as it lasts or sit comfortably, chat with anyone who came with you - there are also a few other tables you can sit at as well.. In additional there's a full bar to sit around where you can normally find someone interesting to talk to - where you or they initiate.
The atmosphere if you enjoy relaxing with a drink, it incredible. Almost EVERY bar is dark with empty black ceilings showing all the air & water pipes. Not Bar 1, the ENTIRE ceiling is filled with all types of chandeliers & other lighting that will warm you as hot outside it or how many inside Bar 1, is always a perfect. You will notice as you come in is the 2 pool tables & Dart Boards if your feeling a little antsy do something ese for a while. OVERALL I find Bar 1 to be for me - if you enjoy extremely loud music to dance to, whether you can hear anyone talking to you or not - Bar 1 may not be your first choice, but it will become that to you at some point! Last, point is you can't blame Bar 1 for this however, you may find some a bit rude or snobbish, etc - these are the groupies that have known each other 4yrs old to their current age that can't seem to break away f hey wanted to. They will be very conversational with you until their group comes in, then they no longer know you the rest of the night (hence - groupies), thankfully there aren't too many, depends on the night - those evenings the could looks great & more intimate.
Hope you make it in, it will become your hanging place after work forward.
Thanks

Bar 1 is exactly what you’d expect from a solid neighborhood bar. Strong pours that hit the sweet spot—generous but not over the top. Prices are reasonable, and the bartender was perfectly fine, though nothing stood out. It’s not a place for thrills, but it delivers what you want in a local spot. A solid 4 stars.

I don’t really write reviews, but wanted to on this special occasion…
This was my first time there. Atmosphere was great and drinks too (had apple martini). But I had the little Charcuterie platter and I ended up with bad food poisoning. I am writing this on the toilet.
The place was pretty cool overall. Probably would go again. Just a bummer to have a night of emptying my stomach out of both ends like in the movie Bridesmaids.
Love the drinks, and the bartender was friendly. This is a cool, laid-back place 😎
