Bartender
Brittany R.

If you're hunting for a true neighborhood gem, Dodey's is it. It's got that classic dive bar vibe--laid-back, welcoming, and unpretentious--without ever feeling dingy. The regulars are friendly, the bartenders pour with a generous hand, and the drinks are deliciously strong. There's always something going on, from lively pool tournaments to competitive darts. Bonus: they open at 7am, which makes it the perfect stop for early birds and industry folks alike. Comfortable, familiar, and fun--Dodey's is the kind of bar you end up calling your home base.

Awesome shots

The Lost Dutchman's gold mine of dive bars. Many have looked, many have tried, some have died, others are missing to this very day (which is for the best, not all are worthy of the Dutchman's Divebar secrets.) This place is the elusive goldmine of solid, 24k nugget drink gold.The Dutchman's secret may be percolating thru the local d bar scene talk, but only the most worthy and coolest of cats will find and enter. The bartenders are solid gold. I mean soft, malleable, 24K gold shimmering in the light. Smaug would snatch those golden barkeeps up faster than the Arkenstone. Anyway - the service is what made me come back. Susan and Suzi are the HEARTS of Dodeye's. The rare, genuine service made me feel special, like a welcome guest in their own home. Best green tea shots in the land. Name your shot/drink and they'll make it better than you've ever had it, and at a great price. Pool tables- check. Darts - check. TouchTunes jukebox- check. Dana White life-size cardboard cutout defaced - check. It's a one of a kind place, with a solid strong customer base, willing to fight to the death to protect this hidden gold mine. Don't go looking unless you're ready.

Cheese balls blow,

I'd like to address the pivotal topic of pub mix. Yes, they have it. Previously, we "Dodos" enjoyed the free Costco brand that included sesame-encrusted discs. And everyone knows those are the best. Although this new mix is still presented in an inviting cradle of foil, it is not the same quality! This is cheese-ball forward, AND the basket of dubious delights features bargain-basement "doritos." Are the bartenders amazing? Yes. But who cares. This pub mix blows. Don't come here. I want all the bar stools for myself. Wait, did I type that out loud?

Great rose wine

My favorite dive bar! Friendly bartender and the drink are priced very cheap and strong. No watering down here! Met the owner today. Suck a cool dude. 10/10 recommend making this your home bar!

Billiards table and a Papago Orange blossom (:

It's a cool dive bar. Lots of regulars. It's great when you just want a drink and wind down after work without being bothered.

We come here often, yet have never written how amazing the food and staff are!!!…read moreTenderloin toasts are by far the best value on happy hour menu! Sports are on TV's both indoors and outdoors, if you are not into more intimate dining experience. We are new to the " neighborhood " , yet we have found our most favorite hang out for sure!

Have you guys seen Palm Royale on Apple TV? Because that's the first thing I thought of when I…read morewalked into this place! I don't know what it is, but it just has that same kind of vibe and I love it. We were there on October 10th while I was on vaca and it was such a beautiful day. They had all the doors open and it was just perfect. Then we got a haboob warning and had to close everything up for like half an hour. I'm from Denver so I've never experienced a haboob and was kind of excited to see what happened. Nothing happened. But we had the best time hanging out and talking about it with everyone! Crystal was behind the bar and made me a screwdriver with vanilla vodka, shaken, because I'm a weirdo. She was all about it and made it perfectly. She's so much fun! Bailey was at the door and was just the sweetest. We spent some time chatting with her too. And Nina! She's the manager and I just love her. She was making us drinks, hanging out with us between checking on guests, and making us laugh the whole time. Seriously, I want to go back just to see her. We actually ended up going back later that night because apparently I couldn't get enough of this place. Scott was at the bar and he's so cool and chill. He told me he used to live in the basement before it became Orchard Tavern, so naturally I had to see it because sometimes I think I'm an urban explorer or a ghost hunter. He took me down to check it out and, well, it's just a really pretty event space now. Not a ghost in sight. Thanks anyway, Scott! Such a fun place. Loved the people, loved the vibe, loved the whole experience. Definitely coming back next time I'm in Phoenix!
