So I'm not really sure how to rate Dave's. We've been here about a dozen times. Never turning happy hour always during the evening hours. So, this visit was a first. The place wasn't busy, maybe ten patrons. Bartender served us immediately. One Dos Equis bottle, one Ultra pint. There was a sign in the bar that stated happy hour prices as $2.75 domestic pints, $5.00 domestic small pitchers. Again, service was good. Bartender always asking if we were good. This is why my visit was only 3 stars. We close our tab and the Ultra rang up $3.50. I know it's only $.75 but...so my husband asks. We are told that Michelob Ultra isn't a domestic beer. Huh? Since when? Yep, we were told they price it like an import. I'm sorry if you poll ten people if they consider Michelob Ultra a domestic beer, all of those ten people are going to say yes. read more

Daves On Northern - Happy Hour prices but don't expect to get a Michelob Ultra draft for $2.75. They don't consider it a domestic beer. I call BS. - Sports Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Melissa is not a friendly bartender, she doesn't like other girls. Very lazy, A group of 3 of my friends and I are all bartenders and we came In and sat down and realized okay she's not Busy but it doesn't look like she's gonna come take our order so one of our friends goes Up and orders for us and then she comes back and said she needs our IDs and then she comes back for the third time and says okay we need to all bring Melissa our IDs ourselves and then we go to take the IDs to her behind the bar and I put it on the bar and she says don't put it on the bar like that it's rude and I'm not gonna serve you and I said your not even serving us anyways we are practically serving ourselfs and she yells at us to get out of her bar. what a joke. We know How to bartend and be nice to customers and make good tips she doesn't seem to like her job. She wasn't even busy but didn't wanna take care of the customers. Anyways we went down the street to the beaver and the bartender there was the opposite of Melissa she literally said can I please see your pretty ladies ids and it's like WOW can you just see the different of someone who is actually nice and enjoys their job and treats their customers nicely. Dave's is literally losing money by having a mean Melissa behind the bar. yall need to upgrade to someone who appreciates the job and the customers coming in. There's so many bars to choose from and so many bartenders out there, no one has to go to the spot with the lazy chick working and also other people would love to bartender there and make good money and give services with a smile at least. Reconsider your staff please. read more

Had a few drinks here a cpl of weeks ago. The bartender Melissa was really nice and helpful. I'm legally blind so they made sure I found the restroom when it was needed. Drinks are fairly priced and the establishment appeared clean with plenty of fun things for it's patrons. They even shared a slice of pizza someone ordered in. Their 'regulars' playing pool and darts were also friendly to this out of towner. My only complaint is there was no decent IPA on tap. I'll definitely visit again if I'm ever visiting the area. read more

Went in to have some drinks as we'd been here 3 years ago during the race. Bartender was soooo tweaking because my husband said he remembered her from last time. She went to make our drinks, called us liars that we'd been there before and screams, Are you guys talking about me?! And we're like no, we were talking about in and out burger and she said I'm not going to serve you, leave. FUCKING BITCH, we just got here from Denver, welcome to Phoenix, weirdo. Get off the meth.. too bad would have been a big bill and fat tip, to help support your drug habit read more

Perfect spot !!! Hole in the wall yet very classy !!! Only thing missing is there is no food to be severed!!! Other than that this may just be my new spot !!!! read more

This place is one of my spots to come play darts, if I'm in the neighborhood. They have 3 dart machines. The pitchers of beer are pretty cheap as well. They have pool tables for those that like to shoot pool, I know the table I've been requires quarters. They have shuffleboard and a golf video game machine. Also a lotto machine if I remember correctly. This place is a neighborhood bar, not fancy and not too rough, just right. read more

First time here. Came in to grab a beer and watch some football. Turns out it was the bartenders first day as well. She was super energetic and friendly. Seemed to be interacting with most all guests, laughing and smiling. Great atmosphere, great service. Thank you Chrissy!! read more

Dark, drinks well poured, great jukebox atmosphere. Let's call it comfy. Update: we can now hear Beastie Boys via TouchTunes, Thanks Dave! read more

I was visiting on business and tried finding a chill dive bar. Well I found it! 4 pool tables, 3 dart boards, a few TV's and attractive bartenders. Perfect spot whether you just want a drink while you're rollin solo, or go out with friends and have some fun. Great bar! read more

Great place with friendly people. Chrissy treated me like she had known me for a long time. Good time!

I have to admit I frequent this dive bar in my neighborhood. It's really a gem. The drink prices are perfect and the barkeepers are all so sweet. I love that there is a crew of regulars who we can expect to see and everyone feels comfortable there just chatting with each other - whether you sit at the bar or at a table. The offer regular billiards clubs and I see dart teams there as well. There's no food per se, but we are able to order at the yummy mexican restaurant next door and they deliver food directly to your bar stool. I highly recommend. The ONLY downside to this dive bar is their TVs, they are small and hard to see from the bar. I don't recommend going here if you are a serious fan and want to watch football. read more

This place is definitely a hidden gem, anyone that's left a negative review was just a douce. Come here have fun and mind your business. Atmosphere is very humble. San Francisco,Ca north beach vibe. read more

The service isn't bad, but Allison, Kendra, etcetera were amazing for the bar, but have all pushed on. It's a shame because the owner is losing massive amounts of money, because he doesn't understand what ppl like, a nice bartender. God forbid she's actually hot and knows how to interact with guests. God forbid it's a guy with a great attitude, who treats guys great and kicks up conversation with anyone. I have been waiting tables and bartending since 1994. I am 45 years old. I felt a pop in my leg the other day just shooting around at the gym, so I'm not going out looking for trouble or trying to fight. But for some reason I have been barred from Dave's and The Other Room for simply walking in the steps that I need to take in life. I have overlooked countless things, but yet I'm persecuted for simply raising my voice to contest disrespectful acts. Tonight I was barred from the Other Room for apparently not saying excuse me to some guy as I walked out the door. I put my hand on his shoulder as I walked by, to let him know I was next to him because he was standing directly in front of the door. He then told me after I had passed him to say excuse me. I told him that he was standing right in front of the door. He said this is America and you say excuse me. I assume this was because I appear to be middle eastern, but actually I'm half white and half Mexican. No big deal though. I told this African American brother to use his eyes. Heather the bartender walked up as I was walking out, and the guy told her I wasn't allowed back in the bar. I was intending on leaving anyway, so I disregarded his statement to her. So I was unlocking my bike, and his friend came out to check me. I told him what happened, and he asked me if I said "excuse me" as I passed his friend. The bartender Heather was present and listening to this interaction. I laughed and told the young man to not come out here getting involved in things he knows nothing about. Heather started yelling at me and I told her and her friend I was leaving anyway. I paid for 2 drinks when I came in immediately as I arrived, because I have to work at 11 am at the Herb Box on Shea Blvd in Scottsdale Arizona. I have been serving and bartending for over 25 years and am well aware and adept as to the proper way to act inside of a bar and a restaurant. But since I didn't give Heather the chance to kick me out, she decided to tell me I was barred. Chrissy is the local hag at Dave's on Northern. She has had countless incidents with new employees, when it comes to counting the cash drawer and shift change. I have never had a direct issue with her, but she has not given me great service on multiple occasions on behalf of disrespectful regulars, who have attempted to bully me unsuccessfully. I've never brought any of it up to Chrissy, but I have tipped her much better and bought her frappes from Starbucks since she has seen me enough to acknowledge me and act nice. With that said, I was leaving the bar a cpl weeks ago, and the owner from the Hana House(middle eastern joint next door) was passing by me on the sidewalk. I do love middle eastern food and had had the limited vegan items they offered, as I am vegan. But I noticed the store wasn't very busy, and being in a tough location I thought it could help if they offered some more meat alternatives, such as beyond meat, impossible meat, gardien meat subs, etc. I decided to attempt to convey this message to Muhammad, one of the owners. He was offended and dismissive of everything I had to say. I told him to kiss my ass, as he walked away. Then all of a sudden he had more time to talk shit, after telling me he was too busy to hear what I had tried to take the time to talk to him about in the first place. Since he decided he had more time to talk, I walked up to him and told him I wasn't looking for any compensation from what I was telling him, just that I would enjoy if he had these options and I would spend more money in his store. But unfortunately, as I approached him he picked up a stick he had set aside near the door of his building. I laughed at the thought of the little stick. I humorously invited Muhammad to hit me with the stick. To my surprise Muhammad actually did strike me with the stick and quickly ran inside his front door. I didn't want to get the police involved, so I didn't attempt to enter the building, but I did tap the window with my hand and called him a name. To my surprise Chrissy barred me for this incident. I have left a review for Hana House on Yelp describing the situation, but the owners haven't responded. Instead they have threatened to sue me via message through Yelp. I just have to say, im a regular guy. But I'm not nobody's bitch. If you are a person who thinks like me, Dave's bars might not be the best spot in town for you. I just go there for the darts, but there are other places to shoot. I will definitely be heading in a different direction. read more

Bartenders are rude, place is dark and dingy. as a new person to the neighborhood, i was hoping to find a cool spot, but they only paid attention to regulars. read more

During the day dont go here. Chrissy is the WORST if she doesnt like u. If u arent a regular u will be treated bad. Ordered a drink, and someone wanted my seat, not because i left my seat but because i took there seat, they were here 2 hours ago and they normally sit there. Totally low class bs, i had to leave because i wouldnt move. All i did wrong was show up at this bar. read more

Absolute worst bar ever...toxic bartender Chrissy took forever to ask us what we wanted then gave us an attitude. Then shut off every song we played. Had no problem catering to regulars though. Dark, dank bar with a terrible vibe...Ughhhh read more

Trying to watch a football game here is impossible. The tables are stacked in front of the booths so you can't see the big screen. Pool tables are also placed in front of the booths so you can't see over the people playing. Tv's are too sporadically placed to help. Free hotdogs and cookies give this bar an extra star. read more

Daves On Northern - Go Cardinals! I think.. can't see through people.. - Sports Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Very few and small TVs. Esp at bar. Chrissy bartender often disappears. She has her favorites. Lots ofDarts, pool, regulation shuffle board. No patio. read more

I love this bar not just for the amazing poured drink but also because of the amazing prices. plus free pool on Mondays onto of some pretty decent tables, even a pool tournament goes on. A pretty small bar but have lots of exotic hard alcohol(tarantula tequila) even real red bull,chill vibe and the bartenders are really nice. :) read more

Trying to like this bar, but with the exception of Ashley, on Wed, the daytime bartenders are pitiful. They ignore your empty glass, take your order then walk away to wait on 2-3 new customers before getting back to you. Always checking personal phone instead of completing orders. No organizational skills. read more

2 working soft tip electronic Dart board, 4 or 5 clean billiards, big size shuffleboard. Ok selection of draft beer. small pitcher of lagunitas ipa $7 which is an awesome price not sure if this was happy hour but it was to me. Everything is clean: tables , floor, glassware even the men's bathroom sorry ladies they wouldn't let me inspect yours. High tops or private small cushioned booths . Music is random which I truly enjoy one minute it's the weeknd, next Bob Marley then upbeat country, Micheal Jackson, etc . More than enough TV's to entertain the sport enthusiast. Really quick \ Easy Fwy access .For a Saturday night This bar hits the spot. For those who grade it one star you should take a trip to Thomas and 30s ave. read more

Barenders suck. No hellos when you are waiting at the bar for 5 mins. No I'll be right there. No acknowledgment at all. When they get over they ask what you want to drink and tell you the price. Awful service. Awful service. read more

Dont judge a book by its cover , from the outside you would think that the inside of this bar is going to be all dive but its not that at all its nice its dark its a real bar and chrissy the bartender is awesome , you like her instantly read more

Maria best bartender real good service even though she was busy she was nice and professional

This place is great! I consider a destination bar, worth driving to, especially on Monday nights when there is free pool. The bartender was laughably horrible--texting, bored, not paying attention--but I suspect she'll be gone soon. ;) read more

I am a regular here. Great bartenders. They know how to deliver the drinks. Great prices, nice and dark and cold in the summer. Just perfect, dont change it read more

Dave's on northern what can I say, it's a big place lots of tables great big bar, pool tables, some darts over there, a jukebox. Tucked away in the corner of a dead strip mall. what else can I say ?? interesting... read more

Great bar. Close to work. Awesome happy hour! & Amy is by far one of the best bartenders I've came across.

Friendly service, wide open with 4 pool tables. First time here for happy hour. Bar seems pretty clean for a dive bar. Cheap drinks! No bar rescue here! I would come back! read more

Great place to watch a game. Friendly service, honest prices on their drinks, and a great place to make friends :)

My first time at this bar and I am definitely coming back. The bar was very clean. The bartender (Maria) was very attentive and has an awesome personality. read more

Great bar and most of the bar tenders are top notch. Except 1 humongous B---- and over server. She will remain nameless since I do not want to hurt everyone else involve with the place but she should be in prison and needs an abusive man in her life lol read more

Awesome service Chrissy. Don't take it when these people enter the bar that don't know what it's like to have good bartender service. This isn't the place that will put a napkin on your lap, but all the bartenders at daves sets a good tone for customer appreciation. read more

This bar was quite shocking this evening as I observed three young men who was obviously over served, quite loud, starting to fight (so much so patrons had to jump out of the way) yet they were allowed to stay and even received hugs from the bartender on duty. I have seen less behavior tossed out and 86'd. So this is a bar where bad behavior is accepted and is rewarded with hugs; the bartenders obviously favor. Also, observed smokers in front of the front and back doors instead of obeying the law. Patrons had to walk through the smokers smoke while trying wave the smoke away to get into the bar, totally unacceptable. Recommendation: pass up this bar, there is many others more favorable to everyone. read more
