pre lockdown, this place was POPPIN' but I do I have fun every time I come here. They have 4 pool tables, but I think 2 are closed due to covid19 guidelines - -they have their patio open and that's always a plus to be able to escape for a little for some fresh air or if you're a cigarette smoker - you'd definitely end up on the patio making new friends because everyone is friendly there!! The location is kinda shitty and it does attract some weirdos and druggies but it is what it is!! Go , have a good time and leave safely. read more

Consistent, well prepared, tasty bar food. A great choice of cold brews on tap, in bottles, and Old Style in cans! A well stocked full bar with always a few premium surprises. Promp service by friendly knowledgeable bartenders. read more

Omg I love this cold dark bar! The bartenders are friendly and make great drinks. The food is fresh and tasty. The cook always comes out to ask if we're good which I love! Touch tunes, darts, pool & lots of TVs. read more

Groggy's - Dive Bars Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Stopped in for a quick lunch and a couple drinks. Excellent all the way around! Great place to relax and have fun!

We had a really fun time at groggy's with our friends. Decided to stop for drinks after having dinner at a nearby restaurant. They were having an Xmas party of some sort so there were lots of people dressed in festive clothing. The drinks were good and cheap and we were entertained by some folks arguing and almost fighting over a jacket. Lol it never escalated to throwing punches but boy were they upset. I don't think this is an issue for this establishment seems like all locals and everyone was really nice. read more

Groggy's - a woman sitting at a table with drinks - Dive Bars Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Good Chicago bar in mesa/Tempe area of Arizona. Pool tables and darts are fun. Food is decent and prices are pretty good as well.

I hate to leave less than 5 star, but tonight was sorely dissatisfied. Griggys bills itself as a sports bar but in tempe, I asked for the sound on tonthe game against Utah. Not only was I told no, I was chastised for asking because Friday night seems to be a big juke box revenue night for them one employee even called me an asshole for asking. So, as a regular that spends a thousand a week there, ready? I just think sports bars should focus on sports read more

Service is incredible, along with drink prices. The vibe in there is very nice as well

Ryan, Peggy, and Kassie are fantastic behind the bar. Groggy's brings the Midwest to life in Arizona. Good time, great food, cheap drinks. Would absolutely recommend read more

Got Sum beers with my buddy . Great place , cheap beers. Come here A Lot .... . ...... Yea

Ridiculous that they don't accept mobile id. I try so hard to prove and still won't. They have minors there and someone who is actually 21 gets denied? Change that asap. Mobile id is a completely valid form. It's fine. No tip for y'all read more

I've given Groggy's some time and decided to give them a second chance. And believe it or not, they've gotten better! The food has most certainly improved the most. The staff itself is very hit or miss. For instance, the last few times I've come by I ordered wings to-go. Let's just say that for every time they actually get my order correct, they get my order wrong 2 more times. I've had to send my wings back on multiple occasions with different bartenders, and I have absolutely no idea why it's so hard to get a chicken wing order right. The chef is great--I think he actually recognizes me when I come in to order wings :D TLDR; the service still stinks, but the chicken wings are SO tasty read more

Lovin this place, awesome atmosphere, good drink prices and sports all around! Pool table, darts and other various arcade games! Definitely recommend here if you love a good dive bar! read more

Groggy's - Checkin out groggy - Dive Bars Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Went here a few weeks back to watch the NBA finals and had the hot honey wings. Place is a nice vibe and is in between a sports bar and a dive bar. Don't let the outside fool you the food is great. read more

Best Bartenders around! My coworkers and I love to come here to unwind after a hard day at work. The games are a blast too.

Live close so me and my pals used to walk over. The quality of bar drinks and food is sorta spotty. Depends on whos working if you catch my drift. That being said, sometimes ITS GREAT for playing bar games. We stopped going because........... Often the crowd was kinda aggressive. Lots of guys that won't leave you alone after you ask nicely, ya' know? Of course this doesn't apply to everyone, or every night at Groggys, just was the feeling here and there. Great darts set ups. Good bar games overall. Cheap drinks due to the area. read more

awesome place. no one who goes to groggys will remember their time there. but that's okay. that's why you go to groggys. greta vibes great prices great bartenders. great time. i had a great night. i wish i could remmeber this tomorrow but i probably won't but that's okay because at least i got to go to groggys. i love uou. keep this establishment running thank you patrick for getting me drunk i am drunk. so drunk i just ate some chocolate and h threw one at my roommates foot read more

had a chance to have lunch there a Saint Paddy's day, 2023 excellent burger, one of the best I've ever had and deep-fried mushrooms and zucchini were off the chart. I highly recommend this incredible establishment brought back many many memories. read more

Great service, friendly people, tasty food. Great value. Vibrant atmosphere and fun place to hang out!

If you want a casual, low pressure, fun pool hall that has tv's and cheap drinks, you've come to the right place! I love coming here and having a great and no stress time. The only reason I can't do five stars is because we've left twice without ordering drinks because we were ignored while standing at the bar to order for more than 10 minutes each time. read more

Very friendly but could not get Cubs game on. Everything out front had Cubs emblem on it thinking it was a Chicago Cubs bar.

This place is great place, and the new kitchen has great food. Only downfall is they never have the news on any television.

So this was my first time there. I've been to dive bars and this is truly a big time dive bar . I didn't order food just from looking some of the reviews. Since I don't really drink all I can have it tea or water. They were nice enough to let me test the tea before I got. Didn't like it so asked for water. That's from the tap once I took a sip. So the people I was with asked it they had bottled water. Thank goodness they did. I read in another review about the women's restroom.. You have got to be kidding me. Who in the hell puts it next to the bar. As I women I don't want to see someone else using the toilet. As you walk in you have a toilet no door and the handicap stall. Half the door handle broken off on the inside. Just gross. Fix that crap.. Music was so loud you can't have a conversation with anyone. Glad I looked at the reviews as they were spot on.. This is one place I will not be going back to read more

It's fun when your adult daughter invites you to go drinking at one of her regular haunts with her and her friends. Four of us went here one night while I was visiting in April and had great fun. The barmaid was very nice, though extremely busy, and the draft beer was good. I just had a couple of beers and we did a lot of talking, nothing exciting. In fact the most exciting thing happened on the way in when some dude was checking out said daughter's derriere exclaiming loudly on its attractiveness. I didn't know whether to be flattered for her or irritated. I teasingly said, "Hey, that's my daughter!" Fellow didn't have much of a sense of humor and responded, "Who cares?" Duh, I do. I was keeping an eye out for him inside but fortunately never saw him. It's been a long time since I had an altercation in a bar. Hell, it's been a long time since I was in a bar. read more

It would of been a better experience if the bartender was sober enough to interact with everyone outside of her regulars! And if you still decide to to go there make sure you choose 4 credits per song so no one overstep your choice of music! And then the bartender just wasn't my cup of tea because you will wait at least 10min till she comes back to you. Oh yeah not many selections as far as high quality liquor as well. read more

The true definition of a 'dive bar'. Reminds me of the old pool halls I used to sneak into in the 80's, except less smoke. I don't really know how to review/rate this place without sounding like the total prissy girl I've become so, I won't. If you're looking to play pool, get a beer and play some golden tee, this place delivers. If you're looking for food or to use the ladies room, it isn't. read more

Groggy's - a frog on a budweiser sign - Dive Bars Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

My go to watering hole. Spent many a nights here with friends and family shooting pool, darts, and spending too much money on the jukebox. It is a great dive and has all the highlights of one. Dingy bathrooms, drunken regulars hitting on you and your friends, cigarette vending machine and a bartender that'll pour you a mean drink. No frills, no drama, just a good time for a fair price. They have good bar food. Crystal and Marty work Friday and Saturday and I have never found a bartender that can compete with either of them. I go to a lot of bars. This is the BY FAR the best of the lot. read more

Not sure we just got here after waiting 15 min for us ask for service l. They attend to their locals first... we obviously not gonna at attend again to be a local read more

Each time I pass the inebriated frog sign that welcomes you to Groggy's, I knew I had to try it out. I should say that the rad frog sign out front created higher expectations for me than was ultimately fair for Groggy's. I was expecting something a bit more 'unique' but Groggy's is fundamentally like many beer/pool/wings kind of bars. Its a pretty big place though with an area outside to eat/smoke... overlooking the ambiance of ghetto apache/main street (Its probably Main St by that point). They had a really great special on Sundays ($7 for 12 wings and 32oz of beer). The wings were not particularly great though.... quite soggy (no Groggy rhyme intended). Although the Groggy logo has a place in my heart, I doubt I'll be frequenting Groggy's. read more

The vibe was great - very neighborhood. The drinks were cheap and the service was awesome and friendly. Next time I'm in Tempe I will definitely come here again! read more

Super fun, pool tables, darts, and Golden Tee on a gorgeous TV. Draft beer tastes terrible. Multiple tries, might be bad lines. read more

Although I may not look like it at first glance, in my past life, I was a barfly so this place felt like home. However, if you are a new citizen to the bar atmosphere, this place may just scare the sh*t out of you. I will totally be back and I thoroughly enjoyed having Amber Bock on tap and the interesting clientele that imbibes there. The bartenders were nice enough and seemed to be good at holding their own (they were tiny gals). It was fun and I will go back. read more

The daytime bartender is great. Very attentive and hospitable. Once it's shift change....leave. The night person was the complete opposite. The service sucked, we couldn't keep her attention long enough to order, she only openly noticed us after we stood to leave.... The only reason I'm not giving 1 star is for the initial service when we walked in, before the day shift bartender last. read more

Groogy's is pretty cool. I can actually walk there as it's less than a mile from my place. The beer is priced right. I had several of those huge "schooner" glasses they have. I didn't try the food but it seems like your basic dive bar menu with burgers, fries, wings and the like. They have a ton of pool tables, a juke box with some good selections, and friendly bartenders. The crowd was mixed and people were friendly and wiling to chat. Definitely a cool place to burn off an hour or three and unwind. read more

Pool league night on Wednesday. It had a nice crowd. Mixed drink was strong this time. . .dunno know if it was an extra pour or what. Younger, trendy crowd. read more

If you are looking for a Smokey dive bar, this is your joint! Play pool to your hearts content and drink a beer bunch of beer!
