Driftwoods Sports Grill - Outside seating - Sports Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Okay, I'm going to give you a performer's crew standpoint. The place is beautiful with monster flat screens everywhere. The attractive (just saying) staff is super attentive and professional. The management is superchill with a copacetic vibe that resounds throughout this multifaceted establishment. It's got 4 separate venues contained within the friendly confines. Now to the food: Everything we had was delicious down to the fruit bowl Carvin Jones had and hot cocoa I had for dessert . Everything at the Driftwood's Sports Grill is five star. Everything is made in house: Including the best ranch dressing we have ever tasted. You owe it to yourself to try Driftwood's Sports Grill. read more

Nice little neighborhood sports bar with lots of big TVs. Drinks are nothing special but the people are super friendly. There was an acoustic guitar set going in when I arrived in the patio. Nice vibe. It's in my hood so I'll be back. read more

We came here on a recommendation from someone at our dinner restaurant and we really love this place! There is tons of parking so that won't be an issue in the lot. Also the bathrooms were clean and this place is massive so there's always places to sit.. there is a huge indoor area and also a massive outdoor area with TVs and it's very inviting. We were staying at the nearby Tapatio cliffs resort and wanted to get a drink before we headed back to the hotel. We ordered drinks and the bartender was super nice and very friendly and offered us food, but we were not hungry since we had just eaten. The owner came out and said hi to us when we chatted with him and he could not have been friendlier. We can't wait to go back to this place again. Definitely check it out.!! read more

Just wanted to update, I still really like the food and the layout here is amazing. But when we visited again (a few weeks later), the beer we ordered last time went up by $2 apiece which was not shown on our menu, just the bill. I would've appreciated knowing before the increase in price since I likely would've chosen something else. Also since it was superbowl, they allowed others to chainsmoke out on the patio where we were eating and watching the game. We were actually the first ones out there and no one had asked if we minded. There was a place out front (smaller patio where they could still see the game) that would've been much better for people to smoke. read more

Great food, their Driftwood burger and nachos slap. Drinks are always strong and the live music on the weekends makes for a wonderful experience. Service is efficient and friendly. Nice little spot to have a full meal or to just grab a drink. read more

I really wanted to love this spot since it was so cozy and cute near the fire, but major let down when there was no football on the big screen on football Sunday?! Just jumbo screen/ audio of cartoons we must've been pestering our poor waitress, but there was just no solid "sorry, we can't get the game on" so we just sat there too long to the point where it would be inconvenient to leave after already ordering food lol. Took a while to get our food and drinks, especially refill on the chips. Didn't seem to busy, but was a smaller staff so maybe that was the cause. The queso and Korean street corn were tasty with the chips. Good fish and chips and a standard caesar salad. The cocktails with lime were sooooo tart and sour would maybe just stick to the draft beers. Anyways, interesting experience to say the least, meh. read more

I stopped with a friend for a quick dinner and drink. I had the buffalo wings which were great. My friend had the pulled pork sandwich with fries. It was also good. Service was prompt and the server made sure we were taken care of by checking back just the right number of times. We ate on the patio which was a bit rustic, but included a number of screens for watching sports read more

So happy to see this beautiful restaurant space come back to life!! Sunnyslope needs a place like this. We stopped in today. Soft opening going on now. Liquor license not up and running yet. All good... we wanted lunch. Happy to see Coke products available. Our server Raymond recommended the Pork shoulder loaded Fries to start. Perfect. And we split the Shrimp Po Boy. Everything came out hot and fresh. Delicious. Huge portions. We were pressed for time so didn't stay long. Look forward to returning to try many things. Please give this place your business! It's so nice inside and out! Will be a great place to gather your friends and family! read more

Ok came over because of the glorifying reviews. Well not so much. Give a two on beer and whiskey selection give a one on the food. Frozen cysco truck food. Nothing special. One bonus fry's were good. Staff was amazing but that is where it stopped. Chicken sandwich burnt not cause it was burnt but cause what they cooked it in was! Tots mushy. Thought the over all price was about 40.00 dollars too high. Ticket was 116.00 for two. Four shots three beers. Patty melt and chicken sandwich. Not picture worthy! Simple bar food don't expect more. read more

I took a group of 15 people to Driftwoods Restaurant tonight. The food and service were great. The group ordered a wide range of items from the Happy Hour and regular menus. I heard nothing but exclamations about how good it all was. And Crystal, our server, was superb. She handled the group expertly and was very pleasant. After the event was over, many group members came to me telling me how great the food and serve were and said they hoped we would come back. We definitely will. I look forward to sitting out on the very pleasant patio next time. read more

We walked in and spent about 5 minutes waiting at the door for a host. When we were about to leave and were walking out when we finally seated. We sat down at the bar and met the bartender but wish we didn't. We heard about how he was the best mixologist in Arizona but we quickly reminded him how many great cocktail bars he hasn't been to. My margarita was great and my wife's drink was good, but was bitter in the atmosphere of the bartender's arrogance . The ceviche was bland and wasn't worth ordering. We will only go back because we want to give it another shot and order different food but if we have the same experience it will be the last time. read more

We have been coming here about a year. They have 4 different areas, including a great patio for cooler weather, a dining room, and a bar lounge. The bar lounge is good sized with ample seating and plenty of screens with the various games being shown. They also have trivia, live music and other events. Their food is super solid, from scratch. They have a great happy hour with good food and drink specials. The service is awesome and the servers are personable. We live very close by and have met quite a few great people that we stay in touch with. We are grateful Mike and Jessica have created this comfortable spot in our hood. read more

Amazing food tastes great and great entire vibe. My only reason for 4 stars is the amount of fries they give you is super meager for the amount the food costs read more

This place literally exceeded my expectations in every way. Just left this cute little grill and the food and service was on point. The vibe was welcoming and love the lay out, has a cute patio and everything. The drink menu was impressive and has great happy hour specials. The bartender was so friendly, knowledgeable and seemed happy to make recommendations. He kept me company when he could and knew of a couple places to stay in the area while I'm in town. The service was quick and inviting, he made some great cocktails, literally all the reasons to make me a regular here. Also, the fries and tacos were fire! I'll definitely visit again. Highly recommend! read more

We went to Driftwoods for the first time for dinner last night and we were very happy we did. The service was wonderful, the food delicious and we loved the atmosphere. We sat outside on the patio and the weather was very pleasant. They had a musician playing guitar and singing and he was great! I loved the alternative tunes he was playing and it really added to our dining experience. My husband had the Creole dish and loved it and I had the grilled Chick Tide deluxe, they were both excellent. The fries were super too! Since we were dining in October they had a large pretzel appetizer on the menu with beer cheese and German mustard and it was so good! We will definitely come back to Driftwoods! read more

Lonely, empty place at lunch on Sunday. This place belongs further down 7th in the Melrose district as the owner and clients seem to roll that way. One beer cost $5.44, but the bartender didn't bother to give me my change on six bucks. Menu prices already raised after open for 2 months. Will fail soon. read more

Great bar and service. Jess was awesome. Had grilled chicken sandwich which was very good. Will eat here again.

We checked out the new Driftwood last Friday night with my daughter and her boyfriend. I loved how they had a bar area, a dining area and an outside patio area. We won't be visiting that till probably September. lol. Our server was friendly and very informative about all the food. We tried their wings, which I absolutely loved with their homemade ranch. My Husband had the ceviche and loved it. I'm not into the fish but their chips for a really good. Hubby got the steak. My daughter got the pulled pork. Her boyfriend got the fish and chips and I got the French dip. All really good.! Fries were delicious. I had the grilled vegetables with my sandwich and they were so good. I was told they make all their sauces in house as well. They even dressed up my boring vodka soda with a cute array of fruits. We will definitely be back. read more

We have been twice now and both times have been great. The service is excellent and the vibe is comfortable. They have a general dining room, a beautiful bar, and and outdoor area which will be great when summer is over. On our first visit the shrimp toast was the star of the show. The Thai ribs are also delicious and not that spicy of you are worried about too much heat. The huli Huli chicken sandwich is yummy, the chicken katsu bowl is also a solid choice. You can't go wrong with a burger and fries either. Plenty of parking and no need for a reservation which makes it a great choice when you are hungry and don't want to wait an hour for a table. read more

New place the family hadn't tried yet. Very nice outdoor seating area with full bar, huge TV, and excellent misters to keep it cool. The main seating area was inside with another large room containing another bar and seating. We chose the no bar room for more quiet but it appeared to be a mistake. Took a few minutes for the server to approach for a drink order, friendly and personable, I was looking forward to reading the single pages, two-sided menu. She dropped the drink order and came right back for the food order but we asked for a few minutes to read the menu. BIG mistake, 17 minutes later she came back after we tried to wave someone down three time. The two servers for three rooms was not w inning strategy. Room the order from a menu full of inconsistency and confusion. Thai dishes using Korean sauces, Cajun, Japanese, Hawaiian, Mexican, American, just all over the map. I chose the tacos plate which the menu showed as full size tacos with multiple toppings. The Wife ordered a shrimp poorboy with loaded fries. My server asked if I wanted to amend my order since they were having a "special" on the tacos offering just two fillings, chips and salsa, and a beer for just $2 more. I accepted when she told me "since you already ordered a beer, when you finish it I'll bring you another for free as part of the special. The food took about 30 minutes more during that time our drinks were delivered. One of the two margaritas were wrong and had to be sent back since they put salt on the rim. When it was brought back (half way thru the meal), they had just poured the first drink into a new glass, you could tell because the salt from the rim of the first drink was in the bottom of the new glass and the lime on the tip do the drink was now below the ice of the drink. As expected. It was terrible. 15 minutes to pour a drink from one glass to another... The food was not even up to fast food standards. My tacos were smaller than street taco size with three small pieces of beef in each. The toppings were good, the beef had no flavor, the tacos shells were dry and hard, and the salsa for the chips was out of a bottle. One of my worst meals this year. My wife's poorboy had six small shrimp she said were pretty good but the bread of the sandwich was stale and the sauce she scraped off with her knife. She couldn't eat the bread so this six shrimp weee very expensive. The loaded fries has pulled pork I them and she likes them very much and why this isn't a two star raring. Two other family members at the table did not finish their meals either and one of them ordered second whiskey sour when my chips and salsa was delivered yet received it when we asked for the check. Overall; food was two stars, service was two stars, atmosphere was three stars, bathrooms were clean four stars. We will not come back. read more

From the moment we walked into Driftwoods, the staff set the tone for an amazing experience. The greeting at the door was immediate and welcoming--like they were genuinely glad we showed up. That kind of attentiveness right at the entrance isn't as common as it should be, and it made a big first impression. The bartender, though--absolutely phenomenal. Not just quick with a pour, but sharp, friendly, and fully engaged. You could tell they were managing a busy bar, yet still made time to check in, crack a joke, and get drinks out fast and perfectly made. It's rare to find a bartender who makes you feel like a regular on your first visit. Everyone--from servers to the support staff--seemed dialed in and motivated. There's a clear pride in the way they treat guests. You get the sense that this place runs on more than just good food and sports--it runs on good people. Driftwoods has earned a spot on my go-to list. read more

Had dinner on their lovely patio last Saturday night. It was a beautiful evening, with the fire pit blazing and a great singer entertaining. I had their amazing ceviche and my husband had a French dip. I think this patio is one of the nicest in town. Perfect time of year to give them a try. read more

So excited to have another neighborhood hangout in the area. There are 3 sections to the restaurant, the patio feels like it's your backyard chill spot and inside where you walk has a classy cafe vibe with open kitchen (although it was pretty quiet in that section with no music, could benefit from some speakers in that area). The bar area looked like a quaint sports bar with massive tvs. The service I received from Jake was amazing, they really made sure I was comfy and had everything I needed to enjoy my meal. At no point was I looking around trying to find them to request anything. With any new place, you could tell some of the staff was a little nervous and wanted to make everything perfect; a couple things were overlooked but that will iron itself out with time. Now to the food, I ended up choosing the chicken katsu sandwich which had a fried chicken breast covered in tonkatsu sauce with coleslaw and a spicy aioli. The tonkatsu sauce overpowered everything on the sandwich, not sure I would have slathered the chicken breast in such a strong sauce. I wished there was more refreshing coleslaw because of it, unfortunately it was the thinnest layer. I couldn't even taste the aioli. If I get that sandwich again, I will ask for tonkatsu on the side and put on as wanted. The sandwich came with fries which were amazing! They were double fried which are my favorite bc it makes them so crispy yet light and airy! I chose to upgrade them to the loaded fries for $6 and it was worth the $6! All in all, Driftwoods is reasonably priced and a fun atmosphere and I already told my fiancé that he needs to come with me next time! Awesome place and I am so excited to have it in the neighborhood. read more

The wings were great. They obviously make their dressing, and I liked the cucumber sticks with them. The Cubano and Patty Melt were amazing. We will literally go back just for those. Awesome TVs, friendly staff, and cute little patio with live music while we were there. A random choice for us because we just don't hang out in that area, but we will absolutely go back for that food. Exceeded expectations for sure! It wasn't busy for a Saturday night during college football, so I hope more people give it a try. I really want this place to do well. read more

As a female belly up to your bar I felt like the female bartender overlooked me. I was never even offered a food menu, or asked if I would like to dine in. I did order two beers while I was there, but the manager bartender had to prompt her to ask me if I wanted a second beer. This is not my first time in your establishment, the previous time I was treated the same way. I used to work in the industry, so I get how it is when you cater to certain guests like regulars. She was fake nice to me as I was cashing out. I left her a bare minimum tip because that was the service I got. I will not be returning to this location. I'm very dissatisfied with the service. I've received last two times. read more
