This place is a great place to visit for an adult cocktail. The bartenders and owners are fun and they make you feel like you're appreciated to be here. We are from Salt Lake City, Utah and we have been coming here for the last 2or 3 years and when we show up the employees here give us a great welcome every time. Tall Todd is one of the best bartenders. read more

Todd took very good care of us. Service was phenomenal. Music was a lil vibe. They have great deals and open to all communities. Haven't had food here but they have some options based on the food trucks! read more

We haven't been here since before the pandemic and nothing has changed. I enjoy coming here Dax the door guy is such a joy he's so kind and very professional I honestly hope that he never leaves. The bartenders know how to mix great drinks and keep the bar smelling and looking great. This also seems to be a dog friendly bar as well. For a straight person this is a bar that I can continue to always come back to without being harassed I feel super safe when coming here to Phoenix. read more

Was at Bar 1 on 08/31/25 from 7pm-12am. From the moment my friend and i walked in, the 2 bartenders (chunky guy w suspenders & the other guy w hat) did not attend us. We had to keep calling them over, it was not busy. They were not friendly at all (especially the chunky one). We should've left but we were enjoying the music. When we finally asked to close out our bill, he ignored us. We repeated that we wanted to close out 3xs....he finally said i heard you. I replied, well acknowledge us. He started stocking and did not close us out. as I'm writing this its been 15 minutes since I've asked to close out. The fat guy has poor customer service. I will never be back! And as a club promoter i will never recommended this place! If management reads this please talk to the fat bartender. His customer service is not good at all! Thank you! read more

This has always been a great place love the atmosphere of the expansion of the patio bartenders are fantastic and so are the owners of the establishment in Thursday two for one is much appreciated and very generous from the establishment read more

Best gay bar in Arizona. Todd and Todd the owners are absolutely delightful! The indoor space is spacious and the air conditioning works well in the blazing Arizona summer heat. The patio area is open and inviting. The staff is super friendly and lots of fun! Bar 1 is now serving ROXX vodka yay! read more

Worst bar I ever been to!!! Worst service and very rude bartenders! They were not welcoming and lines to get drink were terrible! I hope this bar closes down, worst bar in Phoenix read more

Great service. Fun environment. Played pool with some very nice guys. Guys in line drinking not so nice. When you say "pardon me" so you can shoot with your pool stick. I guess you can just not avoid an angry queen. The manager and the bouncer got involved. It's nice to know that a first timer is willing to go back into the den of regulars. Caution: if you look up at the cieling at the TV screens, someone may bump into you... watch where your going. The lighting is set for a party. Enjoy and don't forget to be kind. read more

My friends and I have been patronizing this bar for years now, ti celebrate the end of each work week. It's pretty basic, with ample bar seating, long tables, pool tables, a lounge area, and an outdoor patio heavily shaded by trees. There is no dance floor and generally no big events. Bartenders mix up and serve drinks with speed, video screen are everywhere playing music videos geared toward the clientele, which is a very mixed and diverse crowd. In all, it's a bar that's comfortable to be in, lively but not overly loud, and a great place to make new friends. read more

The atmosphere is a vibe! Cozy, great happy hour spot and good music. A lot of gay boys, which was not what I was expecting as a lesbian walking in read more

How I would explain this place is a staff who does there job. I don't mean that in a rude way. Just come in do your job and clock out. Very kind people. Although last night I know my wallet was picked up, had my money in cash in it of over 400 plus.. and was suddenly missing by the end of the night. I talked with security he did his best, I go to look in the bathroom & two people are hooking up inside... very interesting LOL I have called and have had my assistant and lady chat with them Only replies are "can't do anything it's the owners job" I guess the owner is on vacation and says nothing can change until He arrives on Monday! Which blows my mind. Nobody has access to the cameras besides you? What sucks as well as I have family and friends coming into town this Weekend and I will be without a debit card credit card and an ID.. just simply heartbroken right now I have met with the owner at Boycott she is an angel and takes so much pride in customer service. She Checked the cameras instantly no hesitation and told and SHOWED me that I left with it in my right hand. WHAT MAKES THIS WORSE IS I WAS THE DD last night and this happen. I can't make this make sense like all I ask is for video review to know who took my wallet. Be careful here & unfortunately the Yelp reviews don't make me feel any better. Really hope the owner sees this and a new level of help is created. read more

Best bar in town. Awesome happy hour specials. Professional and friendly bartenders. Welcoming to all. And dogs allowed. Gorgeous decor and patio. A real treasure! read more

Had a great time hanging with friends. It was a good evening. Drinks were good. Will be back.

None of these gay bars in Phoenix are 4/5 stars. I want to give these places high ratings but is my experiences here at this business pulling me back in? ...and the answer is no. I wait up at the bar every time. The bartenders see I'm waiting but can't even acknowledge and say I'll be with you shortly because reality is the bartenders forget they're working to sell alcohol and keep customers there. The business these owners lose because of mediocre staff that can't simply say hi or any friendly welcoming gesture to someone standing up at a bar. Bartenders who make me wait and then get frustrated because I'm asking about the signature drinks being advertised on their tv screens? This lack of customer service has been consistent at this bar. It is why my recommendation is 50/50. The owner is cordial and the manager was nice to us as we were leaving but that cordial behavior doesn't exist in its staff that I've experienced. I'm disappointed because it's a nice looking bar. read more

The owners, Todd and Todd, are absolutely wonderful! The ambiance is lively. Very cool atmosphere.

Great place! With amazing customer service. Also cool atmosphere and vibe. Thank you.

Friend recommended this watering hole as it's near her home and she has her favorite bartender. I didn't care for the layout inside as there are pool tables in the middle where seating could be instead. Sat outside on the patio where all the smokers were and it was too smoky. Staff was pretty friendly and drinks were reasonable for happy hour. read more

Was a nice little atmosphere, like the drinks and the space with the couches was awesome. Games look cool too. Bartenders were nice. Would go again read more

I stopped in on a Thursday about 7:30pm for a drink. The bar wasn't too busy, yet there were two lines at the bar for drinks. I stood in one for about 10 minutes, and literally no one was served a drink. The bartenders were standing around with their hands seemingly up their arses. I left and will never go back. Sorriest bar service I've ever encountered. The door guy is cool though. read more

This bar is always great to go to when your looking for some good strong drinks for a great price. I had a lemonade mixed berry drink my favorite drink here. Has real Berry's fresh very very flavorful. We also had the famous dick Jell-O shots from here always delicious fun little bonus. Cleanliness- very good everything wiped down clean not sticky glasses were all clean as well nicely polished. Staff- great friendly very helpful even when very busy. Definitely go to this bar for a fun laid back atmosphere you will not be let down read more

Friendly - pretty busy on a Friday night as a pre-game bar. Thinned out at around 11.

Went to Bar 1 with my wife and a friend that doesn't go out much (he was a bit fearful of the new environment and bar scene). The service was great, we watched a tennis match, drank some beer, and enjoyed some light bar food. I know my wife and I are not the targeted audience, but my friend fits the bill. Great time, I am certain he will drop in from time to time to enjoy the atmosphere and kind people. read more

Love to Dax and Todd Di both Gentlemen extrodinar Todd's ass I is cute Dax Isn't shabby for a guy close to my age always has the handicapped parking ready and as a stand up comedian he has great stuff for me read more

You would think this place would hire more bartenders. You only have two bartenders and about 20 people in each line. It takes at least 20 to 30 minutes to order a drink. I just don't understand if you want to make money have more bartenders and keep the customers happy.! read more

Bar 1 is Phoenix's more mature and classy gay bar option. The interior and finishings are very chic and well executed, creating a sophisticated atmosphere that is markedly calmer than the rest of the gay bar scene. The patio in particular is an excellent spot for drinks; spacious with great ambience and high-end design. Overall Bar 1 offers a wonderfully designed space that is mellow and a great place to spend time with friends. They also have shockingly inexpensive drink specials that always make for a good time. read more

Bar 1 - Patio at Bar 1 - Gay Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

well have been there a few times before. I am a tea girl and was sitting at the bar having a drink, and I got bumped into no one said excuse me. I did not realize it but I was bumped into about five times. The only thing I can't figure is that a girl like me is not wanted and borrow one or the clientele have issues with girls like me. Needless to say I won't be back until the problem is addressed. I don't judge anyone and I don't expect anyone to judge me. I loved the place but Not sure if I will be back without a date to have my back. Just really sad. read more

I've come here a few times. The crowd and staff are always super friendly. Their Chamtini is sooooo good

Great place to stop in after work, have a cocktail or two and meet some very nice guys.

Got a three for the ambiance! Good location great outdoor patio. Good music. Went on a Monday so the crowd was nice. One bartender no one to bus tables so glasses were everywhere. Also I waited a while to get service which was odd considering it wasn't crowded and I was standing in pretty clear sight... now looking at my bill wondering why it's 5$ more? Anyhow, will prolly not be returning but Im sure they won't care... Im sure if I was a nice hot guy I wouldn't have waited lol read more

Decided to stop in here after work as I pass it every day on my way home. I wasn't expecting much, just a chill divey bar atmosphere to have a few beers. I came in and sat down at the end of the bar which was the only open seat at the bar. It wasn't too busy, just a full bar and some people at tables. I waited as the bar tender was finishing with other guests. After that however, I continued to wait as he moved on to polishing glasses and chatting with his other customers. I've worked in the bar industry for 10 years and was taught to pay attention to the full bar and not just hang around one section. Still, I figured I'd just wait until I caught his attention. After 30 min a new crowd came in and were instantly served at which point I decided to walk out. Had I had any reason to at that point spend my money there I would have walked over to him but didn't want to lose my seat, so finding somewhere else to go was the better option read more

It is a place to hang out, be yourself and have a good time. It is not pretentious and there are no snooty people hanging out. Just a good place for cheap drinks and to laugh and have fun. read more

By far my favorite spot! I enjoy the staff, drinks are great, and the prices are a bargain for what you get. I like the ambiance, and the fact that it is gay/straight friendly. I think everyone agrees the toilets are to high, but allows one to get creative. read more

music? bumpin vibes? present drinks? litty fun fun fun i have to make this longer so here i am this bar is fun and cool read more

All I have to say is the doorman Dax was absolutely amazing. He started out our evening great and we will continue to come!

Always such a fun time with great music! Tammy is the best bartender as she is so friendly and provides such great customer service. She remembers my drink every time I go to the bar. read more

Bar 1 is a great neighborhood bar! It's considered a gay bar, but like most of the "gay" bars today, everyone is welcome and all kinds of people are seen there. Bar 1 is very friendly, comfortable and clean. I would consider it upscale but not snobby by any means. They have a beautiful patio, nice living room area and the main bar has plenty of seating at tables and at the bar itself. There are two pool tables and a juke box. My advice is to leave the juke box alone and just enjoy the awesome music videos they play. Personally I think having the juke box is a mistake because as I said, their video library is awesome. If you are nice to your bartender, they will even play something that you want to hear. Drinks are fantastic and they can make just about anything. Try one of their champagne specialties or shot of the month. Always delicious! I am a Jack and Coke drinker and one of the things I like best about Bar 1 is they use real Coca-Cola products. Do you know how important this is? Those knock off soda products that some bars use can almost ruin a drink! There are various specials throughout the week...2-4-1 every Thursday. Karaoke is every Tuesday. Be sure to check out Bar 1 you don't even have to be gay! Enjoy! read more

This bar reminded us of the " Mos Eisley Cantina " .. you know... the bar featured in the Star Wars movie... where Han Solo is found. Strange place... large, very much a renovation in progress.. and has been for quite sometime. I think they are attempting to duplicate the interior of "1313 Mockingbird Lane"... I've been told that this bar was owned by the same people who own Amsterdam.. which I find hard to believe since its SUCH a departure from Amsterdam. I was told by a friend to check this place out ( again ) ... that it got allot better... hmmm not sure what he meant by that. I was hoping that Stacy would be working, since I heard he was working there... but much to our dismay he was not. The drinks were decent, although unsure why they have 2 or 3 different styles of "rocks" glasses, we kept getting our drinks mixed up. I'm gonna try this bar again.. maybe during the week for happy hour.. Maybe I just went on an off night and update the review... read more

This bar is a lot of fun! Although it was pretty crowded when we popped in the night before Thanksgiving I never had to wait long for a drink and we were all able to find seats. They have this great "living room" area with a fireplace and comfy leather couches that we hunkered down in. Awesome patio with a pass through bar window if you want to get some air or have a smoker friend. Great music, fun videos, and friendly people. I would go back again. read more
