The folks at Gilligan's have applied their craft to make a masterpiece of a dive. It's got all the trappings of your favorite watering hole, from the ambiance to the bartenders who are more like friend--but it's clean! And not contrived. The place is perfectly nestled between Tempe, Scottsdale, and Phoenix. Oh, and Saturday night is karaoke and this karaoke DJ has one of the biggest song lists I've ever seen! read more

There is so much to say about this place. They get a 5 from me any day. Food is always amazing, drinks are better than expected. "BOSTON" #1 bartender/cook ever!!! He is one of a kind when it comes to his customers. Gives great service an over the top drinks an food. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone. Oh an not to mention the happy hour amazing prices. #1 spot in az. read more

See all

I didnt get served. I stood at the bar mind u i am sober just got there standing at the bar waiting to get served and bartender looks at me then walks to the back i believe me, my friend and the other customer waiting as long were to mexican fortunately there are other options for bars in Phoenix read more

The absolute worst service that I've ever received. We ordered food and after an 1.5 hour of waiting we were told "you need to suck it up and wait". Absolutely will never step foot here again. read more

Prices were really cheap until a New bar tender came and started over charging even during happy hour. Will not come back if she is behind the bar. They were kind of rude when we asked about the prices and said not to say anything to the other bar tenders? read more

Really bad service. Bartender has no clue how to take care of customers. I was completely ignored and other people were served before me even though I was ahead of them. read more

These are the best sandwiches I've had since moving to AZ and giant as well (13"). Lora is fantastic!!

I came here out of yelp reviews and it was amazing! We are from LA and I can assure this place is awesome! If you are looking for a good time with friends and good pizza this is it! Cheap drinks and good memories, ask for a guy with a Boston accent he was a sweet heart! :) read more

The on tap beer is like what you would drink in college, on your bad days. But the prices - Awesome Food - IDK if I would try it but some of the regulars were raving.. some people came in by themselves just for dinner. Nice big salad at a dive bar. (Interesting) But, for being a non regular I don't feel the place was 100% inviting because of the bartenders attitude. It was... a bit.. ODD? to say the least. But nothing deal breaking. read more

Castaways is my JAM! I seriously love this place. It is such a good place to watch a game or just to hang out. Their drink prices are a screaming deal and they seem to always be running a kickass drink special. Their pizzas are also creative and delicious. We usually order the Obama Drama with red sauce. It is basically a Hawaiian pizza but it is covered in delicious bacon :) The bar has lots of TVs all over the place, a smoking patio, and bartenders with great attitudes. My husband and I spent about $30 for something like 4 shots of fireball, two pizzas, and 4 beers. Amazing. I just wish it were a little closer to my house since it never takes long before I'm in no shape to drive :) read more

My first time here...Erica was great...perfect attitude for the place! Pizza was very good, drinks were good, but the place was a little slow for a Thursday Happy Hour. Lots of sports action to behold! Will definitely be back. read more

Looks like a normal bar from the outside, but once inside its a chill place to have good drinks and good food. They have beer pong tables which is cool. If you have a chance to eat here be prepared, the portions here are no joke. From the pizza, pasta to the sandwiches you better come super hungry and the food a great. Great staff!! read more

The food is great, the drinks are cheap (especially on monday/thursday), good times to be had here, shame they don't serve wings, otherwise great drinks, great sandwiches, & great pizzas read more

Not a complaint. Local bar/restaurant portion control was for two. If I lived on the area I would definitely come back

This place is awesome. It is clean and the staff is friendly. The boneless wings are great, their sandwiches are awesome and they have these super delish alfredo potato skins. Beer is cheap and it is overall a good place to spend your time. read more

Local hangout, regulars, great prices on drinks, food is really good. Betting guys are intense. Karaoke too! Check in on Facebook get a free shot! read more

My boyfriend and I frequent this bar every Friday night. We have tried all 19 of Castaways pizza and if for no other reason, you need to go here to try them. Their pizza is DELICIOUS. It has a nice, comfortable atmosphere and all the bartenders are nice and welcoming. If you're in it for the sports, they have TV's all over and are always playing the games. Food and drinks are reasonbly priced as well. And for us, the best part is that if needed, we could walk home. :) read more

Drinkers BEWARE!! Check your bank accounts. I have had my tip amount changed for the SECOND and LAST time. The people doing it are very skilled, knowing the banks do not require receipts to be saved for amounts $15 or less. Bet you couldn't bet what my charges were, BOTH times?!?!!!! FIFTEEN DOLLARS! Hah! This makes it impossible to pinpoint where the alterations are happening. It's either the bartender or a manager. I'm shaking my finger at you guys! read more

So i read the reviews mostly good some bad. But i can tell you i rate it 5 stars. Not a fancy place just a good old fashion neighborhood bar. Friendly bartenders and the meatball sub was outstanding. Was from out of town on business and stopped in and was not disappointed read more

This used to be the place to be. Locals galore, friendly staff that knows what you drink and knows your name, and a packed house on the weekends. But, all of a sudden they think they are a Scottsdale bar. A can of beer is now $5. A pint of Blue Moon is $6. All food prices are up $2. And, not to mention, one of the rudest, new bunch of bartenders around. Fridays and Saturdays used to be packed to the gills, but now it's like a ghost town. The place to be has become the place to stay away from. Good job ruining it, guys! read more

Castaways Sports and Sand Bar. Went on a Saturday, service was on point, food was great! Karaoke guy: Dick!! Don't wast your time! Epitome of "That Guy". read more

Decent neighborhood dive bar. U shaped bar with plenty of tables around... They have an track betting crowd but also lotsa regulars from the neighborhoods nearby... A lil mix of everything... All the staff is really chill not a true full kitchen but plenty to pick from subs pasta pizza boneless wings potato skins..this used to be a regular spit after Kickball on Tuesday nights. I've been here for weekend karaoke before and they play the sound for most big sporting events.... read more

I was pretty skeptical about this bar since I had been to it when it was previously Juggheads. I think anyone that's ever been to Juggheads knows what I'm talking about. I gotta say Castaways knocked it outta the park. It's owned by the creators of Giligan's in old town so it's got the same vibe, just not as... quirky. The location kind of sucks, and draws some funky characters but it's a great sports bar, and the food I've tried is pretty good so I'd definitely go back! I highly recommend checking it out! read more

This place is perfect! Wonderful bartenders and great food. One of my regular spots and I have never been disappointed.

We love this place!!! Great food...but even better the staff. Erica is the bomb! She rocks this place with her Chicago style. We love when she works. Guaranteed fun!!! Kevin...sold us on the BEST pizza EVER!!! Yum!!! He always has a great smile. Then there is Boston...funny dry "wicked" sense of humor. GOTTA love him... Gotta go...yummy pizza is here!!! read more

They have lots of cocktail options and some shot specials. The beer selection is lacking. Bartender was a young guy but crotchety and rude. I guess I'd hate my job also if I worked in a bar on 51st St. and McDowell on a Saturday night. Castaways would be a way better place if they served better beer. read more

The only thing I remember about this night was the bar tab was $28 for 2 people drinking for hours and hours. I was expecting it to be like $80-100. Woohoo! read more

Pizza is pretty good for a bar. The sandwiches are huge. Inexpensive drinks and a fun crowd. Not too snobby and not to trashy. Just good people. Decent selection of craft beers. read more

Love this place! The atmosphere reminds me of a Southern Florida neighborhood beach bar. Its laid back, the bartenders are friendly, and its cheap. They're always running drink specials. They also have good sub sandwiches. read more

Gotta love this place. Great bartenders and food is AWSOME too. Very reasonably priced too!!!!

I like the look of the place and the food is okay. However I see alot of people commenting that this is a great dive bar. I agree but why do they have their drink prices so high. This is not a fancy Scottsdale restraunt. If their prices were more reasonable I would definitely recommend to more people.... read more

Castaways is the spot we go after our softball games to eat and have drinks. It's a great place for hanging out and I hear football Sundays are awesome! The only complaint I would have is if their service could be a bit faster in the evenings. Great place and affordable. The food is good too. And the best part is that you get a free shot when you check in on Facebook!!! read more

Interesting meal here. Not sure if waiter was new or his is how they do it here: we had to pay for our meal before we got it, like it was our tab for the bar???? Food above average not overly over the top. Service was weird. The server was maybe new as he also gave my buddy a hard time about something else. read more

I have been a faithful customer of this establishment until today. I came in at two and ordered two pasta dishes to go. Played 3 races and then was notified they had no pasta (this is an Italian restaurant). This was 45 minutes after I placed my order. After watching 2 more races I asked for my bill. I asked if my bill was going to be accommodated for waiting for my food and being told they had none and blamed a sister location and the owner for not having any pasta. At this time a very large man-the cook comes out and starts yelling at me and slaps my paid for drink across the counter and it smashes into the floor of a full establishment and then starts screaming to "get the fuck out of here". He then returns to the kitchen and I ask the bartender if he was going to replace me drink- he states "I can't he just asked you to leave". I asked him what did I do for this type of treatment - he began to start making up things about me being notified immediately about them having no food-a lie it was 45 minutes. I looked at the customers and asked if there was anything I did to get this type of treatment. In unison-20 plus people said no and about 10 immediately left, with me. Boston the bartender I am ashamed of you. I have been a loyal customer for years and never does anything other than watch a few races and get food-then goes home. As for the big fat cook-you should be fired and never return to any job that involves interacting with any living creature. Your behavior was repulsive and extremely demeaning, not only to myself but every customer in there today. To the owner, you will probably do nothing. They-Boston and Fat Cook blamed you. I have been a customer since you opened, but will never return. This type of "explosive" behavior I do not accept. Hope you have video footage and you can view for yourself. Goodbye forever. read more

From out of town and this place has amazing food! I was blown away! Have to try it! I'm passing the word by mouth to all my friends that live here. read more

Pleasant surprise when I looked at the menu for the first time, they have a wide variety of signature pizzas and pastas. I ordered take out and was a little sketched out bc of all the motorcycles in the lot but realized that crowd belongs to the neighboring establishment. The inside is clean and has plenty of tv's. The pizzas were good and very reasonable priced. I had the #16. Ill definitely order there again. read more

Was okey. I tried the baked chicken dish. Authentic but too cheesy.

We love castaways! We live nearby and have always wanted to check it out. It's great for watching games because there are TVs everywhere. Also, their food is AMAZING. We've had the sandwiches and pizza and it's some of the best we've had. It's clean, not crowded, and a very "neighborhood" atmosphere. Love it read more
