50 Best Bars in Phoenix

“Love Butler’s Easy! It’s such a great place to hang out. They also have lots of fun events and live music throughout the week. It’s hidden gem in Sunnyslope!“

“Wonderful place. Great people. Good food. Good music. Nice environment.“

“Burgers are good drinks are better“

“Stopped by for national tequila day and Millie hooked up. From offering an accommodation for my tequila soda (she offered Sprite Zero and that means a lot okay???) to knowing the menu and suggesting something new. Smiths has a cool vibe and the hot dogs outside are the cherry on top!“

“Fun vibe. Great time! Would go again!“

“I came here with some business associates, who are visiting. It exceeded my expectations. I was a little concerned trying to find it but the whole experience (table, staff, food) was great. The views!!!!-- during the day, the mountains and at night the city lights. I will be taking more people here. It was lovely.“

“What’s not to like here? Everything is fresh and delicious. I had the salmon which was cooked perfectly. The appetizers were yummy and just enough for our group. Calamari was a huge hit! Highly recommend. The team was attentive & friendly. We ❤️ everything about Alexi’s Grill.“

“Local restaurant exceeded my expectations. Bacon wrapped shrimp and green Chile cornbread were awesome. A little pricy but worth it. You get what you pay for in this case. Service was top notch too.“

“Great time always with amazing drinks and service.“

“Love this spot! Aaron the owner is so kind and so is the staff. Excellent place for live music and they have an excellent selection of libations. This spot is classic.“

“Best beer selection in Phoenix, in my opinion. Great relaxed vibe! Love the Sink or Swim tacos too!“

“My sister took me here for my 21st birthday, and I had the best birthday ever. I got to try lots of different drinks, the bartender was very knowledgeable. I’ve been back other times for the insane Bloody Mary special on Sundays. They have pool tables, darts and usually a fun band. This is a family run business and truly nice and decent people. They work hard and care a lot about the people who come in there. The coolest dive bar ever!“

“The Bloody Mary bar and cocktails are worth it alone, but then you get the food and you can’t decide which one you will come back for more!“

“Always my first stop when I visit downtown PHX. Great service, great drinks, and incredible food.“

“Jimmys old fashions are the best in the valley! Great environment and wonderful staff!“

“Amazing food, great service, will go back often and bring friends. Don't miss this place !“

“Highly recommend visiting here if you are in phoenix. You’ll come for the great cocktails, but stay for the experience. It’s highly imaginative. The setting is immersive in and of itself, but it’s the employees who really work to make the experience feel like you’re transported to a different time/place. We visited all 3 bars, but the bartender, Justice, at Undertow made our whole night.

Make sure to order the Oracle at P18. It’ll take you on an unexpected murder mystery journey…“

“I come here once and a blue moon, sometimes at night and in the lunch hours. Sometimes, it’s extremely busy for the staff.. they are such an extraordinary group of people. Cesar, Shay, and Whit are some of my favorite bartenders in the Valley. Always on it, they take care of the regulars.“

“I LOVED this place. As a “national” karaoker, this BY FAR the shortest wait time. I could NEVER obtain service like this in Vegas. The song selection was limited, yet not…and wonderful and I may have left with a crush on the DJ (strictly professional). Idk how they would be able to keep me out if I was a local. I had a great time. Would highly recommend and return again. I yearn for these establishments. Thank ya’ll. I absolutely appreciate it. ❤️….whenever Im in the area, I’m going to slide by your spot. ?“

“My favorite go-to bar in downtown Phoenix. Every single bartender is top-notch. Daniel is our favorite and he is the bar manager. Miguel and Alex are also amazing. Great place to hang out, cool people and a wonderful outside patio if you want to hang out for a long time. They also have a Mexican food truck which is out of this world. I highly recommend this place for everyone.“

“Delicious maki rolls!! Drinks are exceptional! Recommend it 💯“

“Jus a na’an cool spot to chill and throw down some“

“Amazing Free breakfast and very friendly staff!!;)“

“Fun vibe. Very retro. Interesting drinks.“

“the best of the best ... the pork chop brought me joy“

“The chicken strips are ELITE. It’s not even up for debate, so don’t every try. NORTH DAKOTA TO AZ for these dang chicken strips 😍😍😍 I have references 😆“

“This is a very special and unique space that we are so proud to have had a part in bringing to life. Come and enjoy the fabulous cocktails and staff of the Rose Garden. It will make your evening!“

“We go here for trivia almost every week and the atmosphere and rotating taps are great. Aimee is always the server and she does a great job at building real and great relationships with every customer even when they're busy. The food is great for snacking as well.“

“Didn’t have any good bur smelled delicious. Almost all the pinball machines didn’t work when I tried them the first time. However someone was there pretty quickly to get them fixed. Karaoke and the dance floor were great! Had a blast.“

“Have a good time with Ybarra, which offers beer, wine, and other pastries and snacks“

“A great valley jam which is open to all styles of music with friendly hosts.“

“P.P.A.E.A.U!!!!!!!!!! VCMB“

“This is a fun and lively spot especially for live music though non-members pay a $10 cash-only cover and Friday service can be slow when it gets busy. The food was just okay but the friendly staff, casual seating and overall atmosphere made for a good time.“

“Visited this week with a group of friends. Got too caught up with chatting and forgot to take photos. The food was really great and the atmosphere was great! My husband had the wings and I had the all American cheeseburger with fries. I also had the barbecue chicken flatbread as an appetizer! It’s a must have!“

“I have found a legitimate broker who has helped me in so many ways in the aspect of forex & cryptocurrency. At first, I was really skeptical that it won't work but I still kept the faith going until I saw a recommendation about Mrs Craig Vanessa who changed my financial status from grass to grace. Once again I'm really grateful for your help and support towards me and my family in this tough time of the year. If you are looking for a change in your finances, then connect to Mrs. Craig Vanessa today on WhatsApp through Facebook via Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“Theadore is my favorite place downtown Phoenix. However I feel like the variety of drinks is limited and basic. I’m gluten free and always come here for a beer. And the amount of gluten free beers and ciders are always inconsistent. One day they will have a gf ipa and the next day nothing remotely gluten free. I have friends who aren’t gluten free and just enjoy a cider. And I came today and there weren’t any. All in all a great place“

“This bar is both parts dive and tiki with just the right touch of sleaze. You won't find any place like this while still being reasonable with prices

I myself ordered some kind of tomato juice base cocktail at the good graces of the bartender, and it with just a bag of chips hit THE spot for the night

It is a little on the cozy side in terms of size, and you can try and impress a date in several ways with the toys you can win out of the claw machine. I am very likely to return as my go to drinking buddy is a rum man, and this place appeals to my sensibilities at the same time as offering him his go to Tiki rum runs“

“Love the vibe of this chic bar. Great music, friendly people, laid back atmosphere for indoor or outdoor cocktails - which are fabulous.“

“Happy to find our new local having just moved to the area. Great food, beer and atmosphere!“

“Outstanding service, food, atmosphere, everything! We went because we’ve heard nothing but good things about Steak 44 and it didn’t disappoint one bit. Steaks were on point and perfectly cooked!!! Can’t wait to go back.“

“We truly have the BEST wings in Arcadia. Tuesdays is wing days.. Also fresh cut fries, made to order onion rings....“

“We just came in with a large group and sat at a firepit. We were told to leave after a few min due to a large group reservation in an hour. We talked to the manager who told us we could stay for an hour until the reservation showed. Our table was ready after about 30 min. We were stuck in the back of a private area where 2 people didn’t receive their food until half way through and one person waited for a condiment for the entire meal. Another person got her drink order filled at the very end of the dinner. Before we left they seated 2 other tables extremely close to us when many many other tables were available! During a pandemic! Horrible experience from a usually very enjoyable place. Poorly poorly managed!“

“We’ve been coming to this pub for about four years now, and it quickly became one of our favorites. It has a quaint charm with a grown-up yet still playful atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and enjoy yourself.

The variety of local beers really sets it apart and keeps us coming back. I have several go-to favorites—the wings, pretzel with cheese, and flatbread pizzas are always on point. The food consistently comes out hot, which really seals the deal for me.

If you’re in the Phoenix area, I highly recommend checking this spot out—and be sure to say hi to Doug. He’s truly a gem. As a manager, he’s dedicated to making customers happy, and his genuine interaction with guests adds a special touch that sets him apart from others in similar establishments.

Give it a try—you won’t just like it, you’ll love it!“

“Was there last Sat. Great little place and the bartender Claire was awesome.“

“Really great place, highly recommend. Tiffany is awesome.“

“Larry’s is 2 bars in one. Definitely a dive bar. Love that! Inside is cozy and comfortable, with a pool table, Low lights etc. Outside is the patio, a little brighter, and a pool table also where you can, ya know. Everyone is friendly and kind. Love this place.“

“Great Location and atmosphere. Awesome martinis 🍸“
