Staying at the Holiday Inn Express near the stadium, eateries are few and far between: Westgate is a little over a mile away, leaving Crooked Pint and Top Golf as the only options for a dinner after a long day of travel As a sports bar off the highway, Crooked Pint is just fine: a good selection of cheap beer including some local brews and the usual mix of hearty pub grub with some Midwest touches (fried cheese curds, beer battered walleye, juicy lucys et al) I snagged the chicken power bowl: grilled chicken + green beans + cherry tomatoes + black beans + celery over a bed of spinach and quinoa topped with shredded carrot and a spicy sesame dressing. It hit the spot but wasn't too memorable. Washed down with a pint of Piehole Porter from Historic Brewing in Flagstaff, it was a good way to end the day read more

First time at Crooked Pint Ale House for weekday lunch. Located near Cardinals Stadium west of the Freeway. Place is a huge upscale sports bar. Quickly seated, service was excellent. We both had the walleye pike sandwich served with waffle fries. Large sandwich with a large breaded filet served on a hoagie roll. food was good. Friend enjoyed the ruby ale. read more

Good spot right in the. Hotel Haven't seen many hotels have this cool of a spot Lots of seating inside Customer Service is great Got the smash burger first night and it was good The next day for flatbread pizza the bbq chicken and it was ok read more

This was perfect stop to meet with a friend after work, and I didn't really focus on the service and the quality of the food much. Excellent location attached to the hotel. I confessed that the food was to fill the empty stomach and so I could drink more cold beer. The nachos was a bit soggy and didn't taste the most fresh, but the flat bread was delicious. It was so crispy and the even amount of cheese on each slice. I think next time I will come back for the drinks and will try some friends and dessert instead. read more

I have come to this restaurant many times for lunch and have been impressed with the quality and quantity on our plate. BUT tonight they totally disappointed my whole family, especially after me raving about Crooked Pint. Food came out cold (you could tell it sat on the pass), bread not toasted at all, like at lunch, bacon on burger not chewable, music way to loud could bearly have a family conversation, and drinks not refilled. Now I could understand if they were pack and short staffed, but staff had plenty time to stand at the end of bar and chit chat. Very disappointed tonight. Now you could say it was because it was valentines day and they were busy, but they only had about 10 tables seated and plenty of staff congregate at the end of bar. I vote with my dollars and will have to find another place that has a walleye fish sandwich !!!! read more

Crooked Pint Ale House - comp desert for disappointing meal - Sports Bars Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Visited on Sunday after a rather slow round of golf. Server Maisha took great care of us. Menu had a ton of great looking items so a choice was not easy. The Lucys looked to good to pass up . I chose the California which included cheese, avocado, bacon, tomato, lettuce, mayo, and fries. It sounds like a lot and when it arrived, it definitely was just that..a lot of burger. Hard to get a bite that included everything. It was a great burger, I would put it in the Top 5 in Arizona. So, I would recommend Crooked Pint, next time I will sample the beer options also. read more

We have ordered delivery 2 times now and have been very disappointed each time. The staff failed to follow a simple instruction of extra pesto and gave me 3 cups of pesto on the side, no pesto on my flatbread at all. Our walleye fish was overcooked both times we ordered and will look nothinglikethepictureon the menu. Tried to give them a 2nd chance but now.... read more

Crooked Pint Ale House - Margherita flatbread - Sports Bars Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

The Crooked Pint Ale House is located inside the Holiday Inn. It is spacious, with one entrance from within the hotel and another from the outside. The bathrooms are accessible outside of the Ale House, but they are not far away and are very clean. Service can be slow, both from the wait staff and the kitchen. However, we did not take any steps to encourage the wait staff to speed things up. They seemed unsure of how fast they should be moving, and they would have responded if we had asked them to expedite. One featuredd item on the menu is the "Lucy Burger." Although it is promoted as a stuffed burger, it actually consists of two stacked patties with cheese placed on top, not between. (see picture) No one asked us about our preferred degree of doneness; the default is well done. If you wanted something other than fries, there was an additional charge. The waffle fries, however, were perfectly done. Overall, the burger was just as good as the fries, even though it was cooked well done. The atmosphere was casual and relaxed, with soft background music. The most challenging aspect of our two-hour meal was accommodation. However, the seating could have been more comfortable for some. The chairs reclined too much. Despite this, the Ale House was clean and provided a good place for comfortable, casual dining. read more

I have DoorDashed them a few times now, and I have not been disappointed. The food is top notch delicious! The quality and consistency in service is such a breath of fresh air. The level of care and attention they give to providing outstanding pub food is chef kiss. I absolutely love this place! I could wolf down several orders of those onion rings, let me tell you. read more

We tried this place for lunch on a week day. It was recommended to us. We ordered the pepper jack Lucy and the fish sandwich. We started with the chips and dip. Which I highly recommend if you like house made chips. Hot and yummy and classic French onion dip. We also got waffles fries. Also good. read more

Food was amazing. The service was fast & friendly. It was clean and comfortable... will definitely recommend.

Came here Sunday lunch time and the place was pretty empty. We were seated promptly and ordered the Poutine, which sounded delicious, but was underwhelming. The gravy was lukewarm and the cast iron dish that it's served in wasn't hot at all. I got the Beer Cheese Lucy with tater tots and the tater tots were excellent; I can see why they won awards. The Lucy was alright; very saucy like the description says but it was almost too much. The bacon was soggy and you couldn't taste the burger at all. The service was ok. For not a lot of people, it did seem slow. Towards the end of our meal, the staff was at the bar register chatting and on their phones and one was talking loud enough that we heard an expletive from across the room. There were some young kids in there so they may not have heard, but it was definitely loud enough for my wife and I to hear it and stop our conversation. I get it's a pub and you'd potentially hear stuff from other patrons but I wouldn't expect it from the staff anywhere. read more

We went to Easter Brunch at the Crooked Pint Ale House. The food was very good for being in a bar/restaurant!! We hadn't planned ahead and so we hadn't made any reservations. At $30.95 for {young} Seniors, it was a GREAT DEAL!! We had noticed the advertisement when we had eaten at the restaurant a week or so earlier. The GREATEST thing about the whole "Easter Brunch Experience", was that we had BRIAN again as our waiter!! He is absolutely AWESOME!! lf you go to the 'Ale House' make sure to ask for BRIAN!! Oh, as a transplant from Minnesota in 1980, they have the 'Juicy Lucy', Walleye dinners & sandwiches & other 'Minnie' dishes. They even have "Tator Tot Hotdish"!! I can't figure out why their isn't a long wait everytime we go!! I just think Arizonans don't get the concept of a restaurant attached to a hotel!! BUT' IT'S REALLY GREAT!! Give it a try!! You won't be sorry!! read more

Our second time back at Crooked Pint and it was a very enjoyable experience. Our server was great. Can't remember his name but he was super friendly and attentive. The food was also good. We started with the Cajun Onion Rings and the Garlic Vinegar Wings which were on a Happy Hour special. Then my partner and I got the Beer Cheese Lucy and the Cheesesteak Lucy. I liked the onion rings a lot - they were super flavorful, but my partner thought they were too salty. The burgers were also good, both came with a decent size portion of waffle fries on the side. Who doesn't love waffle fries? This place is little off the beaten track for us, but I definitely see us coming back again in the future. read more

Brian, our server was immensely helpful, friendly and accommodating. We ate here for two breakfasts, and he remembered our preferences the second day, even ensuring that a specialty item would be available on the second morning. His personal touches and infectious attitude made for a fantastic experience. The food we ate was also quite good! read more

AS much as I tried to like this place, as I'm familiar with the chain from the midwest, this one misses the mark. Ambiance is very good, food is unremarkable and the service royally sucks...and I say this after several visits. Tonight it took 10 minutes for a waiter to show up after we went to the empty greeters desk (she was hanging out at ther bar talking to other employees) to pick up own menus, waited another 10 minutes ( in an essentially empty place) for the waiter to return with our beers and take an order...the "special" was a french onion Lucy...not a Lucy and just had some onion chips om it....ridiculously salty....not a good experience.not to return read more

We've visited this place more than four times over the past year, and the experience has been consistently excellent. The service is always friendly and attentive, the food and drinks are outstanding, and the ambiance strikes a great balance, perfect for both families and adults read more

Got wings and burgers. It was good. Make sure you ask for well done if not it will be pink inside. The fries are seasoned! There's happy hour and lunch specials. Lots of tables available and TVs. read more

Clean place located in the lobby of a Holiday Inn. Clever sports bar type interior. They supposedly specialize in the 'juicy Lucy' style of burgers but I had the basic Lucy and it was just OK. No real cheese inside...no gooey cheese in the middle as in a real Lucy. Prices were fair and staff was nice. read more

Breakfast was off the hook! Much praise to the chef! Our waitress Neisha took the experience to another level with her smiles and cheerful service. Made us feel at home. This place is always clean and comfortable. We are definitely hooked! Also can't forget the Bloody Mary was FIRE!!!' read more

Our first time here. Nice layout. TVs everywhere. A few pinball machines. Outside seating. It's located in the holiday inn. We had really good services. Even when he got really busy he took time to talk to us if we needed anything. Now for the food. We started off with the margarita flat bread and that was so so yummy. Unfortunately they were out of the walleye fish so I got the prime rib French dip loaded. That was very good. The wife had a hog heaven. And that was heavenly. The bbq sauce was so amazing I asked the manager for a container to go. read more

What an amazing spot hiding in plane sight inside of a Holiday Inn. Don't be fooled by the boring facade outside because once you walk through the doors the restaurant/bar is quite nice inside. I was shocked to see how empty it was inside, but heard others talking about how busy it had been before the cardinals game started. We took a seat at the bar and were greeted right away by a very nice woman who ended up being our bartender. I was pleased to see they offered a sour beer on tap. It was lemon meringue and tasted just like it and was very smooth. I quite enjoyed it. I was a bit hungry so I also ordered the salmon bowl. Everything came out quickly and was so delicious. There are multiple TVs to watch the games and many beers on tap. They offer dining tables as well as cozy chairs to enjoy drinks with friends and relax. A great spot for locals or someone staying at the hotel wanting a drink or a bite to eat without leaving the hotel. read more

I love finding something new to try. The ambiance of this restaurant alone makes it a fun place to meet friends. I have been to other restaurants associated with Holiday Inn and this one has to be one of the best. The food could use improvement but the beer selection was really good. I hear the appetizers are pretty good as well. When we visited, the place was pretty slow. I think there were only a half a dozen or so people there. I think I noticed two waitresses. Service was a little slow, but I did have a pretty good beer to nurse while we waited. I had the Walleye sandwich. The fish seemed oily but the fish tasted good and was nicely done on a hoagie roll, lettuce and tomato. It was really pretty good. My wide had the Chicken Pot Pie. Unfortunately not so good. The carrots were uncooked and crunchy which really turned my her off to it. The prices seemed higher than average, so really the food should be better. But I will say that the salad was one of the best around! I love the fine grated cheese that they put on top. Also I thought their Thousand Island dressing was really good. That will be a great start for my next visit. Any issues asside, this is a fun place to be. I will have to try other dishes to find something that I really like. I will return and recommend the Crooked Pint Ale House for anyone looking for something new with an upbeat atmosphere! read more

Went on a Saturday afternoon, service was not good, very slow service. Sat at bar there was only 5 other people in the whole plac. Ordered the pickle Juicy Lucy, it was basically a burger no cheese in the middle. Don't advertise juicy Lucy if you are not going to make them they way they should be. Half of my burger was well done and half of it was rare. Overall as a burger it was ok, but we drove over 30 mins to come here for a juicy Lucy. read more

Food was good, but they REALLY need more staff. We were there Father's Day and it wasn't crazy busy or anything and they had 1 waitress, 1 bartender who was helping the waitress, and 1 cook that was also helping the waitress. We waited for plates, napkins, straws, had empty drinks for almost the entirety of our lunch (which took almost two hours). Our waitress was super kind but definitely overwhelmed. Then when we finally got a refill it was not the drink we ordered and it never got fixed. I love this menu, and the restaurant could do well! Please hire more people!!! read more

Crooked Pint Ale House is located inside/attached to the Holiday Inn Glendale - Stadium & Ent District hotel, which is located on N 99th Ave between Cardinals Way and W Maryland Ave. Read my review on the hotel if you're curious Every one of the staff I interacted with was great! I stayed at the hotel with a group that was part of a hockey team. Every night a lot of the parents migrated to the Crooked Pint Ale House to have a few drinks. The staff was very attentive and did a great job tending to the crowd. They even stayed open a little later than the posted hours, which everone appreciated. They have a really good selection of beers on draft in addition a slection of hard alcohol. If you're a local, stop on in and give 'em a try. If you're visiting the area and are looking for a bite to eat and a few drinks but don't want to fight with the mall traffic, drive on over the freeway to the Crooked Pint Ale House! I'll stop in the next time I'm in the Glendale area! read more

thank the gods for the crooked pint in the Glendale AZ Holiday Inn. It was our oasis in the desert of Glendale. We were there to see a Chris Stapleton concert at the "semi nearby" Desert Diamond arena. The Holiday inn is not walking distance to the arenas, and we didn't have a car. So, Hung out at the Crooked Pint a lot! The food was delicious, huge selection of beer, and the staff was fantastic. Special shout out to Shayla, Neesha, & Dom! They were wonderful and helped make our stay GREAT! Five stars to the Crooked Pint, and 100 stars to the staff! Karen & Brian from Portland OR read more

Ordered via Doordash. Food was meh. Felt like your run of the mill American casual dinning. My burger was dry and lacked much of any sauce on it. Fries had no salt on them but were at least cooked crispy. Nothing I will run to have again when in town. read more

Great little sports bar with plenty of TVs. Great service and food as well. If you've never had a Lucy, you should try one. Basically, meatloaf on a bun. Tastes better than it sounds. I guess it's a Minnesota thing. They have cheese curds too. Service was quick and friendly. Awesome place before or after Topgolf, Westgate or the new go cart track. read more

Like I have said in my most recent reviews we are new to the area. We use Yelp to find new places to eat. We gave Crooked Pint a try as our latest eating adventure. The restaurant was inside a Holiday Inn which we didn't know but we really didn't care. The bartender was very nice and attentive so I give her 5 stars. The restaurant was a little warm, I understand it's Arizona in July but still a little warm. My wife ordered the chicken pot pie and I ordered the French dip. My wife's pit pie was ok, she said the vegetables were under cooked and hard. She said it tasted ok, but that was her comment. As you all know from my reviews, I am a French dip snob. This one did not meet my top 100. The sandwich was very greasy and if this makes sense, very dry. I think the meat was over cooked cut also lacked any flavor. The waffle fries were over cooked so hard, almost like potato chips. I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt and give them another chance but this night they missed the mark ( besides the bartender). Thank you. read more

This place is hit-and-miss when it first opened up. It was a great place to go to for while. I or juicy Lucy's, but we've had so many bad visits in the past year. Finally, we reserved a table for 10 for Mother's Day last week. My wife called twice to make sure the reservation was still on, and the lady answered the phone said yes. When we got there, they said they had no reservation for us. Very disappointing, they did find us a table. It was a buffet. The food was dried out and tough and it was at 12 o'clock. Noon, the prime rib was overcooked, out of call the adults that was with us. Nobody enjoyed their meal. The mashed potatoes were probably the only good thing about it. The kids, of course, they loved the desserts that was about it. I am so disappointed. We will never visit this place again. Cost me a hundred and seven dollars for just two people.One bloody mary and one iced tea. I never complain about the cost. If the food is good, what the food was very disappointing. Lee should actually be ashamed of themselves. read more

Came in on a Tuesday not knowing what to expect. Decided to jump on the Taco Tuesday Madness. These tacos are huge in my opinion. I could barely tackle one taco. These are share size portions if your not starving. The staff here was very attentive. The bar tenders know how to poor a jack and coke! Catrina M. does a great job behind the bar. This is your typical bar food situation. It's decent enough if your grabbing a drink after work. Will definitely be coming back in my travels to Phoenix. read more

Alrighty if you don't mind this being attached to a hotel then by all means get here. We went in the early afternoon so the place was on the quiet side. Their menu is pretty good with Lucy burgers, tacos and sandwiches. We shared a Gaint pretzel with beer cheese and this was very good. I ordered the pepper jack Lucy, California style minus the avocado. It included fries but I got the stuff ed tots, both were so good. Just a note AZ law requires the burgers must by medium well in cooking style. Mine came out quite well. My wife had the chicken tacos with chips. This was a good size serving. I also found out this place knows how to make a wheat beer and enjoyed my serving. Our waitress was awesome and had several suggestions and ideas on what we had. read more

The food in this joint is flat out amazing. From their version of the egg McMuffin to the Reuben. So much care is put into preparing every last ingredient to make even the simplest dishes the best version of that dish you ever had. Combined with the great service, environs and awesome selection of beers, and you've got no reason to stay at any hotel other than the one this joint is housed in. read more

Honestly. Wish I had the function to leave multiple reviews. The staff here is always so friendly and willing to bend over backwards (shoutout Dominique for always being a recognizable staple/friendly face of the establishment). Always sports on TV and a relatable playlist. And the burgers never miss. So happy to have found a hidden gem in Glendale!! read more
