“I love this place! I work at the Circle K next door and Gypsy’s is my favorite place to eat! The ladies and gentlemen who work there are always smiling and nice. They go the extra mile for the customers whether it is your first time coming in or your 100th time. The live music brings extra life to the place at night. For such a little bar—it packs a big punch of fun! Thanks for being great, Gypsy’s!!“

“Little hole in the wall lounge with great service and prices. The bar and the bathrooms were extremely clean and I can totally appreciate the "nice vibes only" policy. They even offer a cute little menu with really affordable snacks and apps. Will definitely be dropping off my husband here at my next visit to HomeGoods.“

“I went with my boyfriend to play pool and have a drink. I really liked the bar and the jukebox. The ambiance was nice and I liked the interior with the tiki decor. It was dim and I love dim bars when it's hot and sunny outside. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars versus 5 was because of a bad smell near the bathroom area like a sewer smell. But I would still definitely go there again.“

“Total dive bar, but this is the bar that sponsors our kickball league, so we will support it. Service was good and right down the road from he parl that we play at. Added bonus as most local dive bars... super inexpensive drinks and $2 jello shots, which is a bad idea before a kickball game.“

“If local neighborhood dive is your thing then this spot will be your jam. It's tiny, old and has one pool table. Went there for my first time last night and was really surprised at how great this place is. Music was on point, everyone I met was cool as hell, and the bartender Maggie was the gem of the place. Highly recommend. I look forward to going back.“

“Nicole is an amazing bartender, she's funny, friendly, and all around, an amazing person! The place is small, but inviting & welcoming. No food menu, but they have frozen pizzas! Can't take your drink outside to smoke, but no biggie. I'd recommend this place, for sure, especially on Nikki's shift, can't really vouch for any others, but I'm sure they're great as well. So go in, have a good time, & take care of my girl...tip her BIG!!! SHE DESERVES IT!“

The bartender (I wish I got her name...super pretty with dark hair) was very nice and a gentleman I spoke with outside (I think JB?) was extremely nice and knew a lot about the area. I will definitely be back when I'm out that way again!“

“There is one line for all drinkers to get filled. Patio next to the club for smoking. There's live music normally in this club with a calendar of events. The main reason I go to this place is because I can't find something somewhere else which is A karaoke bar which favors punk rock, heavy metal, and ska. I don't know if the DJ mixes things up. It seems like they call names in order the name were received in other words I put a request in a couple hours before close and I did not get called and someone else got called two or three times. There are a lot of screaming punk songs in which the DJ allows the level to go above 100 decibel so I would request bringing earplugs or suffer hearing damage. Karaoke is three nights a week if I'm in Phoenix and it's karaoke night and Im not too tired I'm always there. The drinks are always pretty cheap between $5 and $10 for beer and cocktails. Bartenders aren't too smiley or sociable but it's understandable considering the roughnecks that go through here. Ages 21-45 average. Good female male ratio LGBTQ welcome.Parking: Their lot is always filled there's only about 10 spots. It's on a very long neighborhood street which has plenty of parking you may have to park about six houses down the roadKid-friendliness: Kids are not allowedWheelchair accessibility: This is a very small bar that gets packed very quick there's no way you're going to get a wheelchair through this place. The patio however does have a gate entrance that comes in from a parking lot and usually somebody checking at that gate so you may be able to go to the outside smoking area with the wheelchair but you would not get there through the bar. You definitely won't get through the door very easily coming or going inside“

Nugget Bar • $
4130 N 83rd Ave #11, Phoenix

“Chill bar atmosphere. Good location and friendly staff and fellow customers. They have pool tables and tvs. Drinks are reasonably priced and with reasonable pours. I give this five stars because, if i were in the area (I don’t live nearby), it is probably at the top of my list.Not super crowded, but I assume it gets busier during nighttime / weekends.Parking: Open parking lot. Plenty if parking spaces.Kid-friendliness: It’s a “dive bar”, so great for adults, but maybe not for kids, unless you’re teaching your kid to play pool.“

“The staff is awesome. I've only actually been served by 4 of them, but they all were top notch.Bobby was a great bartender, don't get me wrong, but definitely not as pretty as the other bartenders. All dive bars have that guy.Seriously, though, if you're looking for a bar to take influencer photos of a mixologist adding smoke accents to your cocktail...ah, take a pass.On the other hand, if you're looking for a chill place with a great staff and a friendly down home crowd that will make it easy to make new friends, I recommend!Vegetarian options: Everything I had there was 100% vegan.“

“Everything is 5 star for sure. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars for all the categories is because I didn't eat the food, so I couldn't rate it here. But I gave it 5 stars for all the other categories. Great place for a friendly game of pool, and the bartender was absolutely amazing and very attentive. Best bartender I've ever had!!“

“The finest small bar in Phoenix! They host year-round fundraisers, such as adopting a military family for Christmas. Owner Debi extends her care to all her regulars and employees. I brought my mom, and she expressed feeling genuinely safe visiting with just her daughters, a rarity in bars for her. We've grown to love this bar, and after just one night, it feels like home. I assure you, pay a visit to this seemingly unassuming place, and you'll understand. While the exterior may not impress, once inside, time flies, and you'll keep coming back for their theme nights and events!“

“Met some qaulity people at this local bar, it caught my attention while walking home from my neighborhood Grocery store...What caught my attention was the Wanderin has Karoake on the Weekends and it brought back fond memories watching my father who's singing w/ the angles now..he loved to sing, and always wanted me to sing but was too shy and needed liquid courage to get the nerve to grab the mic...lol! Also, they have pin ball machines ,darts, and pool tables, drinks are fairly priced great music, and the staff are really kind and make you feel like family...I have yet to try any food service so i dont know much on that...but if you're looking for a mom n pop kind've vibe ,mature crowd but there's a good time for younger group as well, go to sing your heart out ...off key or sing with some skills cause Ive heard some amazing talent ,that shouldnt be enjoyed by the masses in there...So if you want a night out with your freinds or family its a good time in my opinion, drama free and great energy ....!!!“

“A must visit! Had an amazing experience here. Misty is absolutely awesome! I saw this sweet looking Dos XX Phoenix Suns El Valle banner outside of her bar. I had to have it! So I walked in and asked the bartender if there was any way I could buy it or if they had an extra one I could buy. He said to ask the owner and she came out right as he said that. Perfect timing! She was super nice and asked where I was from and what I was doing in the area. Long story short, she was happy I appreciated the banner and gifted it to me! I offered her money and she refused to take it. She said if she accepted it then this moment wouldn’t be special. She has a such a great personality and is so friendly. Please visit Misty and her bar! Tell her Misael the banner guy sent you! Let’s support our local businesses. Thanks again Misty for the banner and for being such an amazing person. Planning with the boys already for us to go down and have some drinks!“

“Wonderful evening, did not expect much from this bar, but was pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere, staff and over energy of the space. Ended up staying longer than a single drink. Thank you Cami and Berto you both deserve a raise x2 . I had moz sticks and the sweet chili wings which were the best I’ve had in the longest time! Berto brought out my jacket at the end of the night because I’m more forgetful than anyone should be at 28 Thank you!!!!! Not from the area but I’ll be back soon!!! Truly thank you for creating such a welcoming and open experience! ?? they provide karaoke, pool table which was nice to claim for the night, even a foosball table! Check it out if you want a different night out that won’t disappoint if given the chance!!! Thank you all for the beautiful evening, until next time!“

This experience allows you to hang out and chat with friends. I definitely would say its not a bad experience if you go into the bar ready to just chill and hang out. This is my favorite wing spot for sure and I'll continue to go and take my time and hang out.“
