About Rum Runners Bar

Rum Runners Bar is a cozy and welcoming neighborhood bar in Phoenix. The owner, Debi, extends exceptional care to both regulars and employees, creating a genuinely safe and homely atmosphere. The bar hosts year-round fundraisers, such as adopting a military family for Christmas. While the exterior may not impress, the lively theme nights, strong drinks, and friendly service keep customers coming back. The bar features a shuffleboard table, free snacks like Chex mix, PB filled pretzels, and popcorn, and a limited food menu that now includes meals like the burger. Customers enjoy wall paneling and a drop ceiling that give the place a nostalgic feel, and on Saturdays, they can watch goldfish racing. They also have a jukebox, pool table, and pre-concocted rum punch and margaritas for $5, poured from a dispenser behind the bar. The friendly staff, including Emma on weekend nights, makes it a great spot to stop in for a quick drink that often turns into more. Overall, Rum Runners Bar offers a fun, divey local experience with strong drinks, good vibes, and a welcoming atmosphere.
