Playa Bar is the perfect spot for a fun neighborhood night out. The ambiance is fantastic--relaxed yet lively, with a lot of regulars. The food is top-notch, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Their jukebox has a great selection that keeps the energy up and the good times rolling. On top of that, the servers are consistently friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Also, a great place to play pool and experience live music.
Highly recommend Playa Bar if you're looking for great food, great music, and a place where you'll always feel at home.

Classic dive bar vibes in the best way possible. Low-key, unpretentious, and exactly the kind of spot you hope to stumble into when you just want a drink, some good conversation, and a no-frills atmosphere. Electronic darts & pool in the back.
Cassie was behind the bar and made the day—cute, friendly, sharp, and totally on top of things. She remembers names, drinks, and makes great recommendations. Food quality is well above your average dive bar.

I haven't been here for 3 years.. new owner and the place has been renovated. I ordered hot sweet wings which were good. I came here to watch the basketball game and play pool and darts.
I ubered her so I didn't know you couldn't bring in your flask or bottles of any kind so they asked me to take outside (I ubered so I left the bottle outside by the door) which is wrong in my opinion because I had water only with electrolytes. I need to drink electrolytes for medical reasons but they must have had bad experiences with people bringing in bottles filled with alcohol rather than water. Who knows. But the point is, it feels ridiculous they have that rule but I have to follow the rules or not come back. So if it's your first time back and you didn't drive, don't bring any flasks. The atmosphere is nice and clean. Customer service was good. I recommend.
I love coming here!! The staff is friendly and the food is delicious.

Random dive bar i found with large menu and interesting clientele at 6pm on Saturday. I got the wrong order of the famous fried tacos, but the ground beef ones were still pretty good.

I have been coming to this dive bar for years. Excellent service every time and the food is surprisingly delicious. Get the cheeseburger! Fairly priced beers as well. Great place to relax and watch some sports.

This is my absolute favorite Dive Bar they have amazing food cheap drinks and fun stuff. Try the French dip with bacon or the wings are the best literally in Phoenix. Come on in and enjoy a true classic Phoenix spot.
