Cactus Tavern

On a business trip to Phoenix, and we had the late night hungries. We found the Cactus Tavern and decided to give it a shot.It advertises itself as a dive bar, and I think it is appropriate. It's small, dark, but fun. There's a pool table and maybe a game or two. They have tabs!The menu is typical bar food, although we were pleased to find quesabirria tacos. We gave them a whirl. The tacos were good, shells were grilled crispy and the beef was tender. The consumer was, well, odd. It had a red color and frankly, wasn't tasty.The server did a great job. She was busy but she stayed on top of everything. Standard beers on tap, but it was cold and got to me quickly.I bet this place can get pretty hopping. Nice to find a fun local bar!

We came here for a quick lunch bite and a drink. The bartender was great. The cocktail I got was good. Not a LOT of beer options but enough that my partner was satisfied.We each got burgers. I got it medium rare, it was more well-done but it was good enough that I did not mind at all. Could tell the bartender knew everyone coming in and out. Also, when someone left their trunk door open, they announced it which was nice. Showed they looked out for one another. Reminds me of like Moe's Tavern in Simpson's - and I sorta love it! Like Cheers, everyone knows your name!

The best pasta this side of Little Italy! My cousin from Sicily was in town and he had 3 helpings! This is a picture of him

I cannot express my disappointment with my first visit to your tavern.Alaina was bartending. I've never been more ignored and disrespected ever. She ignored us openly, She made it clear we weren't welcome... even though my friends are regulars. They'll never be back... and neither will I.

Best bar in Phoenix! Walk in and every bartender knows what I drink every time. Food is amazing, prices are even better! Great ambiance and local vibe.

Medium now. Mediocrity on every level now. The worst thing is that the new "owner" put in touch tunes which on surface level is maybe a good thing. Here you have a giant jerk, Caesar and fills it up with headbanger crap all nigh and smokes weed all night outside. Great for us inside. Yay. The amount of neon signs are TOOOO MUCH! Unless they start giving Excedrin as a perk pack your own. We have been coming here for years. Come Monday through Wednesday and hang with Suzy. She's the reason it's going to survive.

An absolute must! Stopped in for the first time and it didn't disappoint!!!!! Food was so good! Service was amazing! The drinks were perfect, the food was delicious. It's a relaxed locals sports bar! Our server was so nice! She walked us through menu. Really the food is worth it!! We will definitely go back!

Stopped in tonight because they had live music... amazing food and the best part was the service. Lindsey, Nicole and Andy were great. Mozz sticks were great. Awesome place.

Absolutely awful. The bar tender on Friday nights is ruder than anyone I have ever run across. Asked if we want to keep our tab open than screamed "you don't have to be rude" when we said no. Go somewhere for a good Friday night drink.

Excellent food been back twice in a week lol the fish tacos are amazing ! Staff warm and attentive we will be back and great to have in the neighborhood.
