What, a neighborhood bar? Yup, and the ambiance is as such. It was our first time here, and if we're ever back in town, it won't be our last! When you walk in, you're greeted by Trina... bartender & server with an amazing personality and just straight up awesome. Ask her what is good on the menu that she recommends and order just that. When you're done eating, be ready for "I told you so" because she did, and it would be more than what you expected. We had the Buffalo cauliflower bites, grilled Whitney wings, pablano & hatch white cheddar queso..Trina told us so, it was juicy, delicious, crispy, goodness! read more

Every time I have called this establishment and place an order because I live in the neighborhood the price has been higher than what it says in this menu. In the old days, they called it false advertising, but I guess you just get away with that now. read more

We'd been wanting to stop into Brick & Barley Neighborhood Bar for quite a while. Having already tried some other establishments in same shopping center on Baseline Road. We stopped in for an after-movie bite and check them out. I started our meal with an ice-cold draft Haus Amber Ale and looking through a very extensive, varied and tempting menu decided on us both getting the Mushroom & Swiss Burgers (she medium, me medium rare) and an order of sweet potato fries and their onion rings. The fully loaded burgers were perfectly cooked and juicy, but lacked seasoning, the onion rings were crispy with the right amount of breading, but tasteless seasoning and the onions were bland, the sweet potato fries were OK. Our afternoon meal was OK overall for what would be expected. Then after having later found that the former 'Baseline Sports Bar' had been part of a TV 'Bar Rescue' in July 2016 and now under new ownership, something appears to not seem to have turned out for the better from that happening. The huge number of TVs, clean and nicely appointed pool tables, game machines, great looking bar, generous menu, and excellent beer offerings was enormously arrested by our surrounding atmosphere where we were subjected to the most brazenly vulgar, imprudent, and forthright customer service (not all staff) I have experienced in any eating establishment! And some customers in my vicinity weren't much better! Caveat emptor - this is definitively a neighborhood bar, but not a family bar. If you are looking for a rowdy, adult bar scene with decent food and entertainment, this is it. Bon appétit! read more

The good is Justin, Sierra, Tiffany, and other staff. The worst there is Reggie. I've gone there for years and nothing has changed. Tonight he was screaming "Jesus, Jesus Christ" all over the bar. It felt very sacrilegious! Then, as usual, he started singing sexual and off-color songs. This one was about masturbation. I told him it was inappropriate and he told me if I didn't like it I could leave. Wow, really?! You say that to a customer?! I asked for the email or contact info of Whitney and Chad and was told there was no way to get ahold of them. Do they ever see what's really going on at their bar? Do they care? Reggie has done this for years and is still there. Kathleen Price 9/20/2024-I'm here the next night after I wrote this review. I decided to come back despite Reggie. When I walked in he looked at me and yelled " Justin." Reggie went to the bar and talked to him. He said "Your girlfriend's over there." He actually walked up to me after I sat down at the bar and threw napkins down in front of me or at me and said "You've got a lot of nerve, lady!" Whitney and Chad. What now? He's done this crap for 5 years. Is he that indispensable? read more

I called to mention an error in my salad. No black beans or cilantro. This is the second time. I called and was hung up on. The second time I called they said it was my fault I didnt look at my order befo Ieft. This is their responsibility. Read the tlocket double check before you bag. I have pictures to verify and they want me to drive back....! read more

Unfortunately we sat down for about 10 mins before some says we have to walk to bar to order to only be told they only have fried food smfh they advertise they only do fired food passed 12 not even wings so unfortunate I rarely do 1 star but the service and disappointment was too much really looks like the wings are good read more

Came here for what we thought would be better wings than Doc & Eddys. Will go to Doc & Eddys next time. Should have known the service was going to be bad from the start when we asked our waitress what dark beers she had and she could not name a single one. It's not entirely her fault. You need better training. I understand it is a neighborhood bar, not a 5 star Vegas strip restaurant, but knowing a few dark beers that you carry is not asking for too much from your server. Secondly, our wings were dry, although the Garlic Parmesan (what we ordered) is listed in the section of your saucy wings. My husband even spoke up as we were ordering that we wanted saucy wings. Again, not training your staff. Menu needs an update. It is misleading saying that the Garlic Parmasan are gluten free, but still listed in the saucy section. Third, and final, the queso was literally liquid milk. I dripped all over the table any time I went to scoop it with a chip. Queso is supposed to stay on your tortilla chip and go into your mouth. I'm sad we wasted $60 on some drinks and misleading/ mediocre food. I bought Tostitos queso this week from the supermarket and it was much better than yours. Sorry to complain, just hope you can do better. read more

Great! Had the wings , fries and 2 beers - good vibes - bartender(s) were great ! , was able to relax and decompress . I recommend the wings , I even had leftovers and I ate them cold the next day read more

Lots of delicious food and drink options. I enjoyed a football game on the many screens and staff was prompt and friendly.

The chicken wings were very good. The Whitney sauce is amazing. Our waitress was very nice. Very big place with a lot of different games to play. Highly recommend!!! read more

This place was a sight for sore eyes! I was so excited to greet a sea of Lions fans! The food was good, I had the Buffalo chicken salad and my hunny had the Buffalo chicken wrap and Cajun fries. The service was ok considering how busy they are and we sat outside on the patio. The outside can use a little TLC, one of the TVs doesn't work and the nightlights are out. Other than that it was a nice experience and I'll likely return. Go LIONS!! read more

The grilled wings here are phenomenal. Whitney's sauce is some of the most flavorful sauce I have ever had on wings and the food is always hot and fresh. The staff here is always very friendly and very attentive and I enjoy it every time I visit. There are a bunch of different games to play while you are there. read more

What an amazing place, loved the food and atmosphere!! My wife and I new spot. Live in San Tan Valley and no problem making the drive. Service was in point read more

The last 2 times I ordered from here, months apart were both completely wrong and took over an hour. Not sure what happened here but used to be good, won't be back again though. They also have their phone turned off so you can't get ahold of anyone. read more

Fun bar and restaurant in Tempe on baseline. Kitchen's open super late till 2:00 a.m. Great vibe easy parking. Trying to brioche avocado chicken and the chicken breast with super juicy. Brioche bun was nice and moist I had a bacon for a couple bucks and it was several pieces and crispy delicious. For about more you can upgrade to garlic fries and a couple other sides and they were outstanding.. Clean restroom. Service was attentive but not overly fast. read more

We chose Brick and Barley on a Friday night because it was close to an event we were attending...service was quick and pretty attentive. Not very friendly but efficient. We just ordered bar fare...their adult happy meal (chicken fingers). And our server recommended the poppers.. I ordered an old fashioned and the server asked what Bourbon...I said Makers Mark or whatever else you've got is just fine. We enjoyed the atmosphere...music was fun...the whole vibe was cool. The owner or manager came and shook our hands and welcomed us..we shared that it was our first time. Snacks were legit! We enjoyed them. The old fashioned was watered down for sure... I mean like literally water was added.. no bitters or orange was used (I did not expect anything fancy but this was below standard. It wasn't terrible, just small and watery‍ I ordered two...the server was super busy, it just seemed easier for him. All was good. We had fun mostly.. Then we got the bill (shown below) I called server over and mentioned that I was charged for 4 drinks when I only had two... he said that they charge Makers Mark as doubles...I said that I had never heard of that before..he said sorry, that he should have said something.... You think?! so that means that each of these water downed drinks were $16?!?!?! Whoa! Probably won't go back because of this...I hate surprises like that! I wish it wouldn't have happened as it's super close to our new home that we are buying...oh well.... read more

Brick & Barley - Receipt - Sports Bars Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

This joint is right by my work. Having ordered from here online and having it be fabulous I recommended my family stop by one weekend to eat here. When we entered, it was really lowkey for being a bar in Tempe on a Saturday. They have games like darts, shuffleboard, and pool. We sat ourselves and got drinks started immediately. Our waitress/bartender Trina Jo was excellent and she made us feel so comfortable and at home! The drinks were poured strong too! The menu is not vast but the options are high quality for being a bar. They have some healthy choices such as Keto friendly options. I went with the blackened chicken Caesar salad it was splendid. The chicken was cooked really well and had a lot of flavor but was still tender and juicy. The salad has just the right amount of dressing. My mom got a quesadilla which was tasty as well. If the food didn't wow us enough, The chef was kind enough to sit down with us at our table and we all kind of got to know each other. It was seriously so fun and such good energy all around. For an immaculate vibe, great menu, and fun, kind people I 100% would return and recommend anyone visit Brick and Barley! read more

Crazy busy for the football game. Nice crowd, opposing fans were respectful. The Avarado bowl was excellent! Would order it again in a heartbeat. read more

Yeah no way would I ever recommend this place! New ownership?... haha that's a joke more like lipstick on a pig. Same creepy vibe with the same waitstaff "training". No one checked in on us and was very hesitant to give this a try but the owner posted to come back and give it a try... Don't believe everything that's on the internet. Good thing my company pays for my meals. I wish we could ask for experience refunds, I can careless about the over priced food read more

Sierra was amazing i love her so much. she is the reason i will come back , loved the drinks and the music

I came here a few days ago with my husband and daughter. 4 people sitting at the bar. We sat at one of the picnic tables they have inside. Took us about 30 min to get the bartender to come take our order as she was just chatting away with the 4 men. My husband even went up to the bar several times to ask for help and to place an order, she kept saying "I'll get to you in a min" We decided to play some pool while we waited. Some of the locals came up as we were in the middle of our pool game and just decided to take over our game, drunk and rude. The bartender just watched and said to go with it! Completely nonsense Eventually we did get to order, food came fast, but unfortunately the 2 hrs we were there we saw the bartender 2 times. Once to order, once to pay. I'll definitely never be going here again. Worst service ever!!! Also, the food was just okay! The 1 drink we received was just a drink! Nothing fancy here. read more

Love this place and all the people that work here, but definitely need to update your menu on your Buffalo chicken salad to let people know you include raw onions mixed in. It does not show that on the menu and I hate to pick them out every time I've ordered it. read more

I am in Tempe frequently and my daughter and I like to go here for lunch. I believe that in the evening it is more of a bar scene but they serve a nice quiet lunch. The restaurant was featured on Bar Rescue at one time and one of the recommended changes was the chicken wings, or so I am told. They are really delicious. They are baked, fried, then roasted, not necessarily in that order and come out very nicely cooked. There are several flavors and there is a style where you can mix the flavors together. Very good. We have had burgers there which we enjoyed as well as salads. There is a nice selection of beer on tap. We tried their pretzels filled with artichoke dip and found them to be very heavy and filling for an appetizer. We have always had good service and will be back again. read more

Brick & Barley - Saying goodbye to my baby girl. - Sports Bars Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Have you ever seen the show Bar Rescue? Well Brick and Barley were featured on that show! Jon Taffer made his presence in Tempe! This is a cool neighborhood spot. The bartender knows the regulars by name. Plus he is quick with his drinks. There are pools tables, many televisions to watch sports and good music. Brick and Barley has great wings. They were Voted "Best Wings" by the New Times! They are Grilled Wings and have a 3 Part cooking process. It ends with rolling their wings on the grill which sears in their amazing sauces. You can Choose from Many different sauces. The Whitney Wing flavor is a popular choice. They also offer wraps, sandwiches and salads. Don't worry there are plenty of goodies to eat while watching sports. I felt very comfortable at Brick and Barley. The atmosphere was fun and relaxing. I could eat and not feel rushed to get done. Plus it wasn't too loud to talk to other at my table. Come check out what Jon Taffer created when he changed Baseline Sports Bar into Brick and Barley. read more

The food is EXCELLENT! You'd never expect it out of a bar type spot. This is more like a local chili's. The wings are ridiculous! Sooo gooood! I love this place and it's open late. I don't even drink alcohol! I come for the food! read more

Great service. Trina was very hospitable; my boyfriend and i were immediately greeted by Trina's great personality!!! She recommended the Whitney wings, they were super delicious!!! the ambiance was very chill and will definitely make the drive back to visit Trina and Brick and Barley!!! read more

Fun neighborhood bar. The staff and local customers are warm and friendly. We didn't order food but saw a lot of it and it looked and smelled delicious! Shuffle board was fun and the regular patrons joined in on the fun. Seth was an excellent server and Denny and Dean (regulars) made the visit a lot of fun! read more

I love the Whitney Wings but the new bar tender, Darby, is something else. I miss the old bartenders. She is rude as f$&@.

Waited 3 hours for my delivery. Horrific experience. I was speaking with the owner as well. He didn't give a shit. Literally my food has been sitting and a driver has been waiting to pick it upp. Why don't you drive it over to me you imbecile. Worst experience of my life I i wanted to throw my food at the driver it was disgusting by that point. Terribly disappointing. read more

This is this was my first time to this place and all I have to say is their wings are amazing I would recommend this place to anybody that is looking for food I didn't have any drinks but I'm sure they're amazing as well and the environment is really laid-back for Tempe read more

Great drinks awesome service our bartender Sierra went above and beyond with the drinks and hospitality!!

Justin the server is so awesome!!!!!! Totally becoming regulars here with our friends because the atmosphere is super laid back and fun. They have Stella Artois on tap and I couldn't be happier. 10/10 would recommend read more

If your looking to go someplace for a drink, don't waste your time here. Bartenders, with five people at the bar, will ignore you and chit chat with the other staff and play on their phones instead of serving drinks. I was there for 15-20 minutes, sitting at the bar with a total of 6 other people, and didn't even get a hello let alone a drink. Can't comment on the drinks of food since she was far too busy on her phone to serve me. read more

Over an hour wait for food , we never got asked if we wanted another round of drinks. Service was awful

Pretty bummed about the garlic fries. I called in my order to go and they said 10-15 minutes. I know the service here is pretty slow so I came 20 minutes later. I sat there for 20 minutes waiting for GARLIC FRIES. Only to wait 40 minutes in total for garlic fries, which I could have made at home quicker, and when I finally got home there was no ranch in it and the amount of garlic wasn't even noticable to taste. I don't think they even salted the fries either. Not worth $9. Such a bummer. This is the best they could do after 40 minutes of cook time. read more

Brick & Barley - Garlic fries with hardly any garlic and no ranch - Sports Bars Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Yes, I totally organized a small happy hour here a few weeks ago due to my fascination with Bar Rescue. Love love love what Taffer & co did with the place and how the ladies have kept it up since then! I called a few hours ahead and asked if I could make a reservation for a group of roughly 10 people. The girl on the phone was absolutely elated that I wanted to make a reservation because it was a Monday, and they were expecting it to be dead. So I made it and was told to let the hostess know once I arrived, and they would take care of me and my friends. And that is what we experienced! Honestly, it reminded me of a really cool British bar that I frequented when I studied abroad in the UK. Loved all the wood and the general decor. They have a lot of TVs with a lot of sports on, perfect! The menu is pretty much the same since Taffer redid it, and they feature a really delish cactus-mule drink that he created and a lot of us enjoyed! They also have a pretty decent rotating menu of local beers. I know a lot of my friends enjoyed their food, my wings were good, but just a little too spicy for my preference. Won't hold that against them since I didn't ask to taste the sauces before ordering. This is like the perfect watering hole for me and my friends, and I can't wait to come back! read more

Great neighborhood bar with surprisingly good food! Really good burgers, wings, some salads, lots of fresh avocado on the various menu items which I wouldn't expect. A TON of craft/local draft beers and a good selection of various flavored seltzer (White Claw, High Noon, etc), ciders, seasonal beers, sours, etc. Full bar. Pool tables, patio, shuffleboard, darts, Golden Tee, dog friendly Lots of TVs featuring Michigan and Arizona teams...Detroit Lions, Spartans, Cardinals, Sun Devils, Suns, Red Wings, Coyotes you name it! read more

My wife and I came here a few months back on a weekend afternoon hoping to grab dinner and drinks before a show. The service was less than accommodating, to say the least. One bartender working who didn't seem interested in serving you if you weren't a patron she knew by name, which we obviously were not, so we didn't stay long, finished our drinks, and went for dinner elsewhere. I have friends who rave about this place, and while we still hadn't had a chance to try the food, I figured we should give it another go and came back for a night cap on a Wednesday recently. The only way I can describe the vibe inside was odd. Very odd. There was a DJ in the corner playing for absolutely no one, as the entire clientele was localized to the bar seating. The same bartender we had encountered a few weeks prior was visibly drunk, so much so that by the end of our time there she could hardly hold herself up, and was borderline bullying customers about the amounts of their tips. My wife said the bartender (I unfortunately didn't get her name) was in the bathroom frequently taking shots, which I found to be strange, but it would definitely explain her demeanor. I'm not a total stick in the mud and I understand that likely all bartenders drink, but this level of intoxication was one I'd hardly even seen from the bar customers anywhere, let alone the staff. It was beyond tipsy, bordering on belligerent. Once the loud and lonely techno music ended, it was replaced by the bartender's drunken yelling and parading of her betting wheel (maybe this is a thing here, not sure), where she again basically harassed patrons into spinning the wheel while other folks' drinks sat empty and ignored. We didn't stay much longer to see the rest of the show unfold, though I'm sure it somehow got even more strange. My wife and I live in the neighborhood and really wanted to like this place, but I doubt we will ever be back because of these two experiences. It's a shame because I've only heard great things about the dinner menu, but with us, it all comes down to who is serving it. I can't imagine how as a business owner, anyone thinks an employee like that is good for new patronage. All I can assume is that this business relies heavily on regular customers and doesn't need any new clientele that would potentially be put off by the long-time staff's behavior, so they do their best to push out anyone they are not familiar with. I had seen similar reviews about feeling unwelcome but I usually take reviews with a grain of salt and chose to instead form my own opinion. Unfortunately, those reviews were proven to be correct, we felt the same way, and we were led to take our business elsewhere. read more

Stopped in on Friday night to see what all the hype was about. Walked in un-greeted bar seats were full so grabbed a seat at a table and waited. And waited. And waited. No one came to greet me. Take an order. Nothing so I left and went down the street to The Porch where i was greeted, welcomed, served and checked on frequently throughout my stay... that was $100 buck Brick & Barley didn't get. read more
