Recreo Cantina

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (218) • $$

"A casual and chill wine right starting at Mingle + Graze with friends turned into hopping to four locations on a recent summer's Friday night in Downtown Chandler. This location was how we ended the night, and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. I felt like this location had a balance of music without being too loud where you can't hear your party. The service was friendly and quick to get drinks/refills. Additionally, the food items ordered were delicious and quick to come out of the kitchen. We only did starter items, so I can't weigh in on the food. Though, we did feel those food items were perfect accompaniments to drinks. Overall, it was definitely a location I would try again!"

Old Town Tavern

★★★★☆ 3.9 (246) • $

"This place was next to the Back Door Lounge which was closed on Sunday, so we ended up here. The bar was small inside and had a live musician (much better than dead ones) so we sat outside at one of the many tables available. Luckily, they had fans with the misting water spray as it was after dark and still around 100 degrees. It was pleasant though.They had a lot of choices of alcohol and bottles/cans of beer. I chose a local wheat and it hit the spot after dinner.Uber pickup was a challenge as the Uber Driver ended up somewhere where we didn't know where he was, but we got that squared away and were off."

Valley Bar

★★★★☆ 3.8 (487)

"I like this place. I've been a couple times now. It's relatively big. 3 rooms. 2 bars. A game area with pool and shuffle board. An area with some booths. I like the main dance area. The dj has always been fun to dance to."

Seamus McCaffrey's

"While I have family visiting this week we decided to check out some supposed haunted spots in the city. My brother loves that kinda stuff. First stop was the Hotel San Carlos. After we decided to stop in here for some lunch and I'm glad we did. Very cool Irish pub with more history than I knew. When we arrived they were serving their lunch specials and we all decided on the fish and chips. While we waited we talked with our waitress and well as one of the managers who both told us how patrons have said to of seen a spirit at the edge of the bar who quickly vanishes. Some also spooked in the men's bathroom up a small staircase. There are some tunnels under both here and hotel. Interesting for sure. Our food came out pretty quick and looked great. The fish was golden outside, crispy and full of flavor. The fries were crisp on the outside but a bit mush in middle. I'd of liked them more if they'd been fried and extra minute. Service was awesome and didn't have to ask for anything. They also sell T-shirt's and hoodies if interested. Pretty good size bar, very popular later in the day with its late night hours. Huge bar with you guessed it...plenty of alcohol!"

The Loft Again

★★★★☆ 3.7 (40)

"I really like this place for a drink and a burger. Prices are very affordable and the patrons always seem pretty chill. It's an older crowd and they have pool tables, foosball, live music some nights. What I like most about this place is the burger they make. It is just so flavorful, they butter and toast the buns and give you the standard toppings. This burger is far better then ones I've had at fancy restaurants."

Walter Studios

★★★★★ 4.5 (37)

"Love that they have their own parking lot, at 1am on a Saturday night it was only 1/3 full. They also have events every month.This was a normal night, main room and main bar was empty, the bouncer was very nice and helpful and told me about the other rooms.Restrooms are at one end, the Blue Room is at the opposite end. The Blue Room has a DJ, dance floor and bar and was EDM. The side rooms are more for conversation. There is a trippy mushroom room, and there is also a library classy room.Interesting concept."

Dubliner Irish Pub & Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (197) • $$

"I love Irish pubs. This one is in North Phoenix and it was my first visit here when I stopped in. Dubliner has been around since the 80's and has a long history here in the Valley (they claim to be the first pub to have Guinness on tap in Phx). The food menu has classic Irish dishes like Irish Beef Stew, Soda Bread, Bread Pudding and Corned Beef and Cabbage. I got one of my personal favorites - Shepherds Pie along with their popular Corned Beef Sliders. I also ordered a Black & Tan to wash it all down. Guinness has been one of my favorite beers since my college days and always pairs well with Irish cuisine. Good times here and it was nice to discover an Irish pub that I haven't been to. Sláinte!"

Turquoise Wine Cellar & Tasting Room

★★★★★ 4.6 (70) • $$

"I was so happy to find this place. I was looking for somewhere to take my pup with me and I love this patio. There are dog bowls outside, and an awesome option for a bark-uterine board with doggie friendly foods and treats for only 5 dollars! As luck would have it, it was also happy hour, and we tried four or five different appetizers, which were all absolutely delicious. The service was great and we will definitely be back."

Copper Blues Rock Pub - Phoenix

★★★★☆ 3.7 (829) • $$

"This place is solid spot for a casual night out, deoending on what type of events and timing you go. I ordered the Pina Colada and lemon pepper wings, and both hit the spot. The wings had just the right amount of zest, and the drink was refreshingly balanced. The security guy upstairs, where it's connected to the comedy hall, was super friendly, which added to the bar/night club vibe. Just a heads up--the place can get busy, especially around the bathrooms, but it's worth it for the good food and drinks."

Swizzle Stick

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (28) • $

"Wound up here to wind down the night last night. Was driving, so no booze for me. Karaoke night. Some decent singers, some horrible. Best song sung was a duet of "Piece of Shit Car". It was rather funny. They have multiple TVs, a lotto machine, darts, 2 pool tables and shuffleboard. Played a game of shuffleboard while listening to the American Idol auditions. This is my buddies bar and is friends with the bartender. Good mix of people, everyone was having fun. Am I coming back here by myself? Naw. Am I coming back if I'm with a group of folks who want to? Absolutely. Had a good time for the hour and a half I was there."

Azool Bar & Grill

"Stopped for lunch at this spot in Carefree, AZ.My wife had a salad, and I had boneless chicken nuggets or wings. Service was very good by Christy B. The food is mediocre, although the place seems to be a good little bar hangout.They also have pool tables, etc."

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!"

Copper Blues - Desert Ridge

★★★★☆ 3.6 (312) • $$

"Great venue to see bands and love that the music stage is higher up and right behind their very long and spacious bar. It makes for a really nice view pretty much anywhere you are in this venue but especially at the bar. I came to see a friend play in his cover band playing songs from the Pretenders and Pat Benatar and could see everything so clearly! Service was good and they have plenty of drafts to choose from. There is also a happy hour menu from 4pm - 7pm. There is pepperoni pizza for $10, but I wasn't in the mood for that. I wanted some protein and had the chicken wings with the dry rub and that was very well made. Probably not something I would eat frequently but every once in awhile is okay. Bathroom and venue were clean. Overall, this was an excellent spot to enjoy some music, food and drinks and I had great company!"

Tailgaters Sports Bar & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (137)

"The food and service have definitely improved. The fries and ranch are delicious, and the patty melt is now consistently quite tasty."

Mule Creek Saloon

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (28)

"Cool little divey/local place with cheap, ice cold draft beers. Not a ton of food options but from what I can tell they do allow you to order pizzas or DoorDash as an alternative. Josh provides witty banter behind the bar and along with friendly regulars who are always willing to strike up a conversation this is a very fun place to hang out. Plenty of options from darts to lotto tickets, pull tabs, and plenty of TVs with games on all the time so there's something to keep everyone entertained. Glad this place is in our regular rotation in Surprise."

Gypsy's Roadhouse

★★★★☆ 3.6 (50) • $

"We stumbled upon this bar one Saturday while out running errands .. the kind of place that does not judge you for having jack Daniels and Diet Coke before noon .. the regulars don't care that you've stopped in.. the pop corn is free and the vibe is easy goingThe bartender told us the wings and fish & chips were good so we returned on a Friday for happy hour and fridays special Fish & chips.. Lindsey was our bartender.. she kept our drinks full and Bill was the chef .. he was funny and entertaining.. the food was hot and the fish was fried right .. the wings smelled amazing (Marty sitting next to us ordered them and when he was concerned about the heat .. Bill brought him a baby spoon so he could try it) and yes we made fun of Marty as a group We will definitely be back to try the wings .. and listen to Casey Brooks from 5-8.. cherry bombs are $1.. the green tea with Jamison, peach snapps & lemonade is delicious This is a dive bar .. it might be Smokey and dark inside and rough around the edges but they are welcoming of outsiders .. thanks for the cold drinks, good food and laughs AND Bill see you next time.."

The Stillery

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (262) • $$

"Shoutout to Skylar! He was amazing. He was friendly, attentive, always there when we needed him. He is a professional and I greatly appreciate his service as it made my day. The vibe is as if you are transported to Nashville. The rustic wood and large neon sign and the stage where they had live music was great! For the appetizer I ordered the fried pickles.... THESE ARE SOME OF THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD!!!! The batter is like tempura and the pickles still had a small crunch to them but thin enough to be chips. Honestly I will be craving these for now on!Then for our entrees, my friend got the burgers and they were double stacked patties. One got fries which were shoes strong and the other got a salad. I personally got the Cobb salad and it's a half a head of iceberg lettuce and the dressing is placed around the head of lettuce. The blues cheese, bacon, and other toppings were great! I wish I could have added my dressing as towards the end it did make the lettuce soggy. I totally want to go back and try out more of their menu and enjoy the music!"

Blooze

★★★★☆ 3.5 (75) • $

"This place is fairly far outside of my normal evening outing circle, however, one of my favorite bands happen to be playing there one evening. And therefore a journeyed out of my circle to see them. The boy had a lot of space, tables to sit and watch the live bands on stage perform. There was also a lot of seating around the bar and the bartender was very friendly and the service was excellent. It was a little challenging due to construction out front but that's not their fault. If I live closer I would frequent more often because it was an enjoyable experience."

Crescent Ballroom

★★★★☆ 4.2 (692)

"I've lost count of how many times I've witnessed the mesmerizing performance of The Ocean Blue, but this is undoubtedly their second mind-blowing show at this venue. Trust me, the vibes here are off the charts! The acoustics? Absolutely killer! Though I must admit, the staff can be a tad curt, and the drinks might leave you thirsting for more flavor. But hey, let's focus on the bright side--they constantly bring in phenomenal bands that rock this joint to its core!"

Pier 54

★★★☆☆ 3 (476) • $$

"I came here today with a few friends around 3:15, right after they opened. We were sat right away by a very friendly hostess and promptly given menus and water. We got the spinach artichoke dip for our appetizer and I got the lamb burger as my meal. The dip was garlicy and savory, absolutely perfect. And my burger was wonderful! The tzatziki was wonderfully fresh. The view is beautiful and the vibe of the place is definitely laid back. The one drawback is they allow smoking at the bar and if you're eating and a non smoker, the smell can be off putting while you eat. All in all, I'd definitely go back and recommend this place!"

Atlantis Mariscos & Sushi

"The place itself seems a little boujee when you walk in, the chips and salsa weren't the bestBUT the food was soooo good. I waited 24 hrs to post this to make sure there was no seafood poisoning and I'm great.Can't recommend the carne asada roll enough ! The shrimp ceviche coctel was loaded full of stuff I couldn't even finish it! Everything here has huge portions !"

"I was in town to visit my Fiancé and we were invited here in celebration for her friend's birthday! Neither of us had been here before. All in all, its a great place to have some eats, drinks, listen to music, and definitely people watch!The music was great metal music and on point. The lead was great to walk around the place while singing. Just a good overall entertainer!We had some shots and beers. Everything was great The food was also good sized portions. The prices was also very reasonable!All in all, I would definitely recommend a must stop!"

The Corral at White Tank Ranch

"What an amazing space! It's so open and the views are beautiful Staff is really nice. Met one of the owners - really nice guy. The waitress was a doll. Food is reasonably priced and actually really good. Hubby had the burger it's fries and I ordered the chicken tingadilla - very yummy. Be aware - no substitutions. You get what is on the menu. I am very picky but it worked out. Check out their hours before you go. They are not open every day. They do have live music (check their website for days and times) and I hear line dancing lessons We will about a doubt return"

Rusty Spur Saloon

★★★★☆ 4 (364) • $$

"What a fun Western saloon for a little bit of live music and dancing! Came here on a Monday night and was pleasantly surprised that the place was packed with people (albeit mostly tourists), but was still fun to listen to some live music (mainly Western and pop covers) and do a little dancing. Place gets very packed, so expect that things will get sloppy. Another patron was tipsy and did end up spilling some alcohol on my dress. Overall, a great experience (even for locals like me) and it is an interesting place to take out of towners."

Tempe Tavern

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (177) • $

"It's a spot I've gone to a handful or times and I like it! A step up from a nice hole in the wall bar but a lot more comfortable than one of those stuck up bars! The food I've tried was really good. (Wings, Fish Tacos, Burgers & Fries but there's much more) Friendly staff! When ASU is in session the night crowd changes pretty fast but it's always been a friendly atmosphere. It's my go too place"

Pho Cao

★★★★☆ 3.5 (356)

"Pho Cao: divey, but surprisingly authentic!Pho Cao is an interesting concept, one I've never seen before; Vietnamese food/American Karaoke bar. I was concerned with the authenticity of the Vietnamese food given the concept, but was appeased by the Vietnamese on the menu and the steady influx of to go orders while we were there. We were there on a Wednesday evening so there was no live music which I believe is on the weekend. We ordered spring rolls, Bo lu lac (shaken beef), and Cao's special fried rice (Chinese sausage, bbq pork, and shrimp). There were some beer specials for Bf and I requested a piña colada- although they did not have coconut crème. The waiter asked the bartender what they were able to do and they made me a coconut rum/pineapple juice/lime blended concoction which was almost as good as a piña. Really I appreciated the fact that they were willing to work with me! The spring rolls were lackluster, mostly filled with cabbage, a sliver of pork, and shrimp that was not listed on the menu. They stuck to the plate and each other and were dull. The peanut sauce was on the runnier side. Of everything we ordered we would not get this again.The bo lu lac (shaken beef) was some of the best I've been able to find in Arizona! The beef cubes could have more consistent in size and there could have been a smidge more bell peppers but the taste was spot on! The portion was more generous than my eyes had lead me to believe! Cao's special fried rice tasted authentic, the way my friend's mom used to make! Not too salty and not under seasoned. The meat to rice portion was great; there was more meat than rice which you don't see often! We ate about half and took the other half to go.Overall a very unique and cool spot definitely worth checking out!"

Handlebar J BBQ Restaurant & Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (329) • $$

"This is the Arizona country bar in my opinion. There is live music, dancing and I even had a dance lesson here one time! I had a blast. There is a cover charge (only during peak hours to pay for the great live entertainment) so be prepared- bring some cash and a good attitude. The crowd is always friendly and the patio is large. I always enjoy myself here. Fun spot. If you love country- this is not to miss! If you even like country a little- not to miss. *closed on sundays*Last night, I noticed that they sell some fun merch too.... Pictured here the "welcome to the "shitshow" hats! Cute."
