The Tastiest Sports Bars in Mesa

Loco Patron

★★★★☆ 3.5 (785) • $$

"We stopped by for margheritas and some snacks but didn't realize it was Fight Night (aka cage fighting on the screens). They said it would take 45 minutes to get seated, but it was so much quicker than that since the staff was organized and efficient. Hats off to them!We got 2 flavors of margheritas - prickly pear and watermelon. Both were delicious! Also ordered some chips and queso and a hard taco platter with beans and rice, which was yummy (though a challenge to eat).It was noisy and crowded, but loved the night time energy so didn't mind.Pro tip:Don't order the shredded chicken - I hear it's only average. Pork and beef were really great though."

Social Tap

★★★★☆ 3.6 (701) • $$

"Social tap has made some changes to their happy hour menu and I like it .... Honestly they are a pretty cool location with an upstairs bar and interesting vibes to see around old town if the weather is nice. I thought our waitress was great actually and would definitely head back their wings are actually very good! Beer prices not too bad for OT !"

Baja Joe's Mexican Cantina

★★★★☆ 3.7 (596) • $$

"Went with a party of nine family members. There was a pretty long wait between ordering and serving, then the wait staff brought the whole order at once. Grandkid's nachos were cold, as was my chile (more like chilly) rellano plate. Only the seafood plates came out hot. I guess they were the last to be ready. Also, some complimentary chips while we waited would have been nice."

Jolie's Place

★★★★☆ 3.9 (363) • $$

"Jolie's place is a well loved pillar of Chandler. I had the pleasure of meeting Jolie and celebrating her 12th anniversary of her business. You can see how loved and respected she is and how her patrons love to support Jolie's Place. Staff were very hospitable. Great outdoor seating. Plenty of parking. Lots of drinks to go around."

Tap N Tikka

★★★★★ 4.6 (236) • $$

"Wow!! This spot is a gem!! We happen to be in the area and dropped in for dinner. Casual ambiance, with good prices. There was a wait but we sat at the bar because it was available. Renee was awesome friendly, professional and really knew the food. The food was so good we ordered chicken tikki it came with rice and we plain and it was so delicious I will be making a point to stop in when I am in the area."

Shady Park

★★★★☆ 3.6 (377) • $$

"This place was the ONLY place that had superb service out of all the places I visited while I was in Tempe. The $10 Cup O' Noodles Special is insanely priced. You get a cup of Ramen, a pint of Kirin, and a hot Sake for only $10. Heck, I sometimes pay more than that to dine at a freaking Mickey D's! And the cup of ramen that you get with this deal is big enough to fill me up. Yeah, you have to pay more for protein, it's still worth it.Our server was super cool and super friendly. I want to say her name was Ashley, but honestly, I can't remember. She was this super nice tatted girl in glasses with an awesome smile. Kudos to the only server in all of Tempe who actually provided awesome service!Next time I'm in Tempe to attend Innings Fest, I'm definitely making a stop here again."

Loco Patron Brewery

★★★★☆ 3.6 (308) • $$

"Great time at Loco Patron! I especially love how accommodating they were to the two young rugrats we had running around. We came on a sunday afternoon and the patio was the perfect kid-friendly spot! They had a large turf area for kids to run around on and cornhole to play. To drink I ordered the skinny prickly pear margarita which is made of blended prickly pear, fresh lime juice, agave nectar, club soda, and tequila. It was light, fresh, and had a little bit of a kick which I love. I split an order of tacos with a friend and it was the perfect late lunch/early dinner. Everything from ambiance, service, food, and drinks hit the spot. Super happy with our experience here and definitely recommend it!"

Lucky Lou's American Grill

★★★★☆ 4.2 (215)

"Found Lucky Lou's American Grill on Yelp and wanted to give this place a try. And I give it 5 stars and here's why:Wait Time: I came in on a busy Thursday night and I really only had to wait 15 minutes. I am not sure if that can apply to everyday but the speed and efficiency of the staff and the people coming and going was quicker than any other wait time from all the other places I've been to Staff: The staff are really chill and friendly people. They all seem to enjoy their jobs and it really shows as they are checking up on us and making sure it's good. It really gives a great vibe.Atmosphere: The atmosphere is pretty great. It's got a nice comfortable feel where you can hangout with friends or loved ones. Combine that with a good staff and pretty good food, there's not much else you can ask for.Food: I ordered the cheeseburger medium rare and with onion rings with a side of barbecue wings. The cheeseburger was really good, I felt like the onion rings were much better here compared to the other places I've been too, and I have no complaints toward the wings.Sanitation: Usually what prevents the places I review from attaining 5 stars is that there's always something gross, sticky, or something is off that makes the place feel gross. I'm glad to say I did not find anything dirty coming here and sitting down. So they got a good wait time, good staff, a great atmosphere, delicious food, and it's all clean. I had no issues with my experience coming here and it's places that don't give you problems that deserve 5 stars. Would definitely recommend"

The Dirty Drummer

★★★★☆ 4.1 (208) • $$

"I went to see Rita Hamilton's band play on Sunday, 3/7, and the band was really good! My sister ordered fish and chips and fried zucchini and a mixed drink that was grapefruit juice and vodka. She liked her drink. I had a Ladmo Bag drink and it turned out to be a can of Wild Ness. It was good. We shared the food which was typical bar food but definitely delicious. The server was really nice. Because it was Rita's party someone went around and offered everyone strawberry shortcake cupcakes. They were delicious. I had a great time! Fun and friends and drinks and food. You can't go wrong!"

R.T. O'Sullivans

★★★★☆ 3.6 (260) • $$

"Truly amazed with this place! They hand cut and dip their Zucs and Shrooms! They were exceptional and loved the spinach dip as well. So glad our server suggested both as they were very delicious! Hope they have Strongbow on tap again as angry orchard just didn't hit the spot like Strongbow. Love both the service and the pub feel of the establishment. Made for a comfortable visit and I'll definitely return!"

Hob Nob Sports Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (213) • $$

"We went for trivia night and met some friends there. We had never been before, I was very impressed. Lots of TVs music families all having a good time. They also have outside dining in this weather. We chose to sit inside to play some pinball and some pool Was a great time. I had a."

Backyards

★★★★☆ 3.9 (211) • $$

"This place is right next to Medieval Times. Our printed out reservation stated the wrong time so we popped in here for a cold drink. They were very accommodating and quickly threw together a table for ten. We only had drinks but were very pleased with the friendly service."

JJ Madisons All American Grill

★★★☆☆ 3 (298) • $$

"My mom's neighbor told her about bingo. We met up last Tuesday and had a great time. It starts at 5. You should arrive a bit early to get your cards and find a seat. It's pretty packed. It's free and they have great prizes. The menu is expansive! There are so many great options. Our service was great. There's a ton of seating. Looks like a great place to watch a game. The pulled pork was delish. My mom and I shared nachos. It was a huge dish. There was plenty for both of us. We'll definitely go back. I've told coworkers and friends how much fun it was . It was only 1.5 hours. So, don't worry too much about being late on a work night. I'd definitely recommend this establishment for fun and food!"

Clancy's Pub

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (224) • $$

"Clancy's is my bar and JoJo is MY BARTENDER, has made me feel like family EVERY SINGLE TIME in walk in. She remembers every regulars' drink after their first visit! If whenever you find yourself in Scottsdale come in and see this true scottsdale gem. You have my word you won't be anything charmed and welcomed!"

Beast of Bourbon Bar & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (264) • $$

"Ok. The reviews aren't lying. There are some challenges. The ladies that work here are very friendly and deserve all the praise. Food is typical for a spot like this. Not Michelin Chef but also not Applebees. Fair enough. My service has always been excellent. As someone who is trying to convince my sports fanatic friends this is better than cogburns. I would say it fails. ONLY because the projector and TV situation is not a priority. Went to watch college football playoffs and the projector was down. I heard this is normal. Unacceptable to any true sports fanatic. Sports should be the priority. You couple this with good service and you'll get my money 4/7 nights week. My recommendation is to ownership. Invest 1000$ in upholstery for the booths. Fix the projector and it's going to pay for itself. Marina and the other gals are exceptional. 4 stars for service. That's it."

Fat Willy's

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (229) • $$

"We have visited their Point View location many times. When we drove by and noticed this location. We had to stop and try it out.It was time for breakfast so we ordered a few things.This was the first time we tried there breakfast menu, It was fine. I like there lunch and dinner a lot more.We had a great time, service was great, and would come back again."

Final Round Sports Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (151) • $

"Not a bad little hole in the wall pub little pricey on the drinks but had a very mellow vibe to it not bad stop by for a quick drink"

Stadium Club

★★★★☆ 3.9 (151) • $

"No better place to get a breaded pork tenderloin sandwich than the Stadium Club. It is H U G E!!! My mother and I made 4 meals out of just one sandwich. Reminds me of my upbringing in the Midwest as a child. My husband loved the wings. If my daddy was still alive he would have loved coming here bc he was a big cheesehead from Milwaukee. Go Pack Go!"

Natalie's

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (186) • $

"I used to be a regular at 1st Round Draft, so was excited when it was re-opening as Skip and Jan's. What altdown! It smelled like an ashtray, slow service, bad atmosphere, nothing was good. I met some friends last Friday for HH at Natalie's and was shocked at the transformation. Everything was orders of magnitude improved. Well done!"

Cactus Tavern

★★★★☆ 4.4 (110) • $$

"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!"

Crown Public House

★★★★☆ 4.1 (124) • $$

"Great place if ya need a bite to eat or a drink before or after a Dbacks game, or anytime you're downtown in Phoenix for that matter.Lyssa is the absolute BEST!"

Echo 5 Sports Pub

★★★☆☆ 3 (216) • $$

"Been here a few times, today on St. Patrick's Day. It's a very festive bar and with it being an Irish one it's pretty cool. The menu is limited (probably because of how busy it is) but has some Irish dishes. A little pricy, which personally triggers me more than it should (but in my defense, $12 for 3 chicken strips is getting personal). Overall great service, had multiple coming out to ask if our group was good. They had green beers, and a large table so I didn't feel crammed with 8 other people. Would come back here randomly, but wouldn't go out of my way to return."

The Sugar Bar Craft Beer & Wine Taproom & Bottleshop

★★★★★ 4.7 (83) • $$

"I honestly needed a lil sweetness in my life , so when I found out there was a bar with CANDY on the menu, I just knew that it would be love at first sight! Fellow Yelpies, you gotta try this place! The Sugar Bar has all kinds of sweets to indulge in, (SCORE!) and a pretty decent line up of craft beers, adult slushies, and tasty beverages to try too! (DOUBLE SCORE!) Bartender was super accommodating and even helped me create my own drink recipe to try! Would definitely recommend it if you have a sweet tooth and wanna get your fix! Tip: ask your bartender for a flight of drinks! They always have something new in their line up that you might like!"

Goodwood Tavern

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (166) • $$

"This is my favorite spot to hit after work, I've been here like four nights in a row. The vibes and music are always on point and the staff is amazing. Jason, Nate, Marcus, and Mackenzie are spectacular bartenders. The door guys Danny, Jeff, and Tyler are awesome.Good food, drinks, ambiance and all around good time."

R.T. O'Sullivan's

★★★★☆ 3.6 (138) • $$

"Love this bar! Our server Brooklin was amazing!! I would come back just for the service but really enjoyed the atmosphere with darts and a volleyball court next door Love this bar- thanks Brooklin!"

Local Legends Bar & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (162) • $$

"It's a clean biker bar with football on the screens, 2 pool tables and a patio on the East side of the building ( someone went against tradition ... Thankfully!)I had one of the best burgers I've ever had!My friend was not happy with her potatoes..."

McMashers Sports Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (123) • $$

"Decent bar food for decent prices. Very friendly staff. Yelp wants more words so here they are."

810 Billiards & Bowling - Phoenix

★★★★☆ 3.9 (99) • $$

"I was so happy to stumble upon this place for an excellent date night out! New fresh clean hip feel, great atmosphere, GREAT pricing ($10 an hour (adult) for bowling which is 2 to 3 games based on how fast you go, $10 an hour to play pool regardless of how many people play, $4 shoe rental, unsure on kids pricing), food was surprisingly delicious and well priced, and yummy drinks. We will definitely be back, and will refer it to anyone and everyone. I posted lots of pictures of all the different games - pool, darts, bowling of course, giant Jenga and an overall great vibe and nice service - AT your table or couch - NO standing in line at some basic snack bar here.Also posted pictures of updated menu."

The Woodshed II

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (120) • $

"If you're looking for an inexpensive dive bar to go for a bite with friends or coworkers this place is a good contender. They have your typical greasy bar food with many options to choose from. They have good happy hour specials and daily specials everyday for less than $12. Onion rings were perfectly crispy and not soggy. Their wings were crunchy, fried and lathered in sauce. Apparently their burgers and wings are the most popular item so if you're not sure what to order pick either of those menu items. Enjoy!!"

Mesquite Grill and Sports Bar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (74) • $

"Food was delicious - meat tender -tasty -will be coming back Carne Asada was awesome - will be trying chicken"

Wok ‘N Roll Downtown Phoenix

★★★★☆ 3.6 (98) • $$

"Great placeLove MickeySad to hear they have trouble keeping a good sushi chef. As a local business owner I get how difficult finding good employees is.Food is amazingSuperb miso soup!!!!!!!!! The decor is ok but we're there for the food and service"

Tailgaters and IL Primo

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (151) • $$

"We were looking for an alternate to islands and Desert Ridge in general. So we came here on a Monday night so kinda quiet. Attentive wait staff. Food was excellent. Reasonably priced. Definitely coming back."

Dell's Pizza

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (121) • $$

"Best kept pizza secret in Pinal County! The Cheese Pizza is homemade and it comes so rich and gooey that you NEVER have to order extra cheese!! They have amazing customer service and truly love to help their customers!The place is clean and happy, with it being busy on game nights but would 100% recommend take out if you don't feel like sitting there."

Park Tavern And Market

★★★★☆ 3.6 (80)

"Fun neighborhood bar located adjacent from an ice rink. It's a great place to watch a game. Lots of tv's and one really big screen. Great selection of drinks too. It seems they've improved their wine list. I tried a couple of nice wines at a really reasonable price.There's one not so good thing. Their pretzels bites. My husband has always loved them. They used to be buttery and soft. He ordered them the other day and they were overcooked/very dark and oily. The oil smelled really bad. Our server took them back and replaced them with a new batch. They were still just as bad, but not as oily."

Desert Peaks Pizza & Grille

★★★★☆ 3.9 (64) • $$

"We came here on a Sunday afternoon. I had wanted to come here for a while to try their pizza. Our waitress greeted us as soon as we were seated. She took our drink order. Upon browsing the menu I realized they offer so much more than pizza causing me to waiver on my pizza choice. I did decide to order the 10 inch pizza. They allow 3 toppings, but I chose 2 additional toppings for 75 cents each.The pizza was out in about 20 minutes. Time passed quickly as they have about a dozen TVs around the place. There was a basketball game I got interested in. The pizza came out with the warning, "the pan is hot". The pizza was good and hot too. There was a bit more cheese than I prefer, but not too much so the pizza was not greasy. This pizza had the perfect amount of sauce. The flavor was slightly sweet with a hint of garlic. There was a generous amount of toppings, probably because I had ordered 2 extra toppings. The sausage was like sliced Johnsonville sausage. The crust was thin, not bready or brittle crispy. There was a nice golden brown on the bottom side. As a pizza snob, I rate this pizza 4 stars. This is a good quality pizza ranking near the top of my favorite pizzas. I am listing it on my best pizza list. I will be back to experience more of their amazing munu. They have a fish fry that could possibly make my best fish fry list also."
