Rodeo Ranch Bar

Rodeo Ranch in Tempe is the quintessential college watering hole, barely a stone's throw from the heart of ASU. It pulses with a kind of reckless energy you'd expect from a place that lives and breathes the student lifestyle--a chaotic cocktail of country kitsch and wild revelry. The mechanical bull at the center of it all isn't just a gimmick; it's a rite of passage, a spectacle that blurs the line between bravado and sheer madness, with cheers and jeers echoing around the room.The drinks flow liberally, leaning towards the cheap and cheerful end of the spectrum, which suits the crowd just fine. This isn't a place for craft cocktails or quiet conversation. It's loud, it's raucous, and it knows exactly what it wants to be. The ambiance is part rodeo, part dance club, all soaked in a haze of neon lights and country rock.If you're looking for a sophisticated evening, steer clear. But if you want a full-throttle night out with the rowdy, unrestrained spirit of college life, Rodeo Ranch delivers in spades.

This place should be avoided at all cost. Security is abusive and looking for trouble. Taylor not very good at drinks. Maybe the place is better in the day time. But not a safe place to drink at night.

Entering through the ground level on Mill Ave, the major draw to this place is the mechanical bull. It attracts the typical college kid crowd and is typically pretty busy. Their music is good, if you like the usual Mill Ave playlist. Upstairs is the best part of this space. Whether you take the stairs or the elevator, you should check out their outdoor rooftop bar. In the covered upstairs, they have a lot of couches and fun decor - perfect for night out photo ops with the squad. It's not really a place to go for tables but a very fun place to be. Prices on drinks are about average, and staff is friendly. Bathrooms are clean with no bad lines. The claw game machine is full of sex toys. I wish more people were on the dance floor instead of just hanging out, but it's nice for a more chill vibe than the wilder downstairs. Looking out over downtown Tempe at night is surprisingly beautiful.

This place unfortunately replaced Gringo Star Street Bar which was my friends as well as my favorite place on Mill for nightlife because they had a classic arcade and N64's but ALSO a DJ and dance floor so it was the best of both worlds. However, it's been replaced by Rodeo Ranch which has a mechanical bull and basketball games. The dance floor is essentially everywhere, no dedicated place so it's a mess getting anywhere. I was hoping if Gringo Star was ever going to be replaced it would have been a better place but unfortuately that isn't the case.

Decent spot, but drinks are overpriced and they kicked out our bachelor party because someone "famous" showed up... we spent plenty of money on drinks and got booted.... I saw the group coming in and wasn't impressed....

This bar is one of the worst I've been to nationwide. The scumbag door guy was so incredibly rude and told me my ID was fake and it is a real ID. Manager came and said I can go in cause he validated it is real. Three vodka sodas in tiny 8 oz glasses were $54 before tip. Absolutely insane. Go anywhere else but here.

Came to the bar with our friend group. Our oldest friend was pulled to the side for having a "fake" ID. They REFUSED to scan the ID to prove the validity of it. She's 23. Cops were called, proved the ID was real. Everyone in our group had no problem. Bouncer made a scene about it. STAY AWAY!!!! Only bar on Mill where there has ever been problems!!

We asked the DJ to play a song and his response was give me $20 and I'll play the song. What kinda of crap is that ? Maybe he's doing this under the table.

Me and my friends always have a blast here! Great management and very friendly staff! We always feel safe here and taken care of!

We came here to celebrate my birthday and try the mechanical bull. The mechanical bull is pretty much just there for looks, didn't get to try it. The whole bar was dirty and smelled like feces and the ladies bathrooms were horrendous. There was no door on one stall and vomit all over another one. Not somewhere I would recommend to anyone and definitely not somewhere I'll go back to.
