Truly a story of don't judge a book by its cover. This bars downtrodden exterior and signage falls short of the experience and atmosphere they are provide. This place is a dive bar, so that needs to be acknowledged, however in the world of dives this is a great bar in a central location of town. The bartenders are professionals and keep the drinks moving with a decent pour at a great price. They also normally put out some kind of free snacks like nachos or pretzels. The interior is open and spacious. You should have some space to yourself no matter what your party size. The space also houses thee well maintained pool tables, lots of darts, and bar games. I especially love coming here during the summer because they don't skimp on the AC. All in all this bar is a great place to have a cold beer or drink with friends. read more

Great dive bar, pool tables, darts

It's a nothing-special-place which makes it perfect in certain situations. If you are looking for a dive or a neighborhood bar where you can sit undisturbed this might really be an alternative for you.. but as for going out in any social setting I wouldn't say this is any place to write home about. I had their pumpkin porter. I knew it was a bad idea even when I ordered. My party was all about to be left to our own devices, so Hanratty's works. There is really nothing more to say about this place.. oh, yeah one more thing to say - the men's room has the most genuine and foul urine smell my nostrils have been abused by since I made a bad decision at the Coachella festival that one time. read more

Hanrattys is my go to dive bar. You cannot beat 2.50 bud and bud light drafts. Plus it is also an Ohio bar which I can enjoy. Not much of a crowd but it is a fun place to relax. They have real darts and pool tables. So there is plenty to do. The only downside, is the food. I have only tried one thing and that is the mozzarela sticks so do not try them. read more

I've been going to Hanrattys for a couple of years, and it's the best bar in Phoenix. Some people call it a dive bar - I call it your local neighborhood bar. The drinks are cheap and the service is excellent. Megan, Terri and Mikey are the best bartenders around and they drinks are strong. Parking on the weekend can be tough, but you should be able to find a parking spot. If you're an Ohio State game, stop on in during college football games - they are an Ohio state bar. read more

Good local place for pool and darts. Just ask for the darts from the bar keep! Good music and pinball too! Laid back spot for sure! read more

A good old-fashion bar. Good find! The Guinness tasted just like it is supposed to taste and the price wasn't out of line!

Hanrattys is the go to place for sure! Meghan is by far the best bartender I've EVER had. Check this place out for good deals and amazing service! read more

Best dive bar in the city and top 3 overall bars in the city. Definitely the friendliest and most personable bartenders. Fun regulars. Nice array of bar games and music. This is where everyone should be for a quick round, at the very least, after work. read more

Blech. I came here to watch an Ohio State game once because it's the "official" bar of the Ohio State alumni club of Phoenix. Yes, it may remind some people of "back home" in the sense that it doesn't possess the beauty of the southwest or any 'big city' sophistication. But what's so great about that? Cash only is a pain in the ass. If you're hungry, knock yourself out with the packaged pretzels/chips or cold sandwiches. Not my cup of tea. And it's carpeted. Eww. Nothing terrible happened, i.e. bad service, bugs, hairs, etc... I just won't be back. read more

I love Hanratty's -- it strikes a balance between dive bar and neighborhood watering hole. Nothing fancy, just a good place to sidle up to after a long night. The bar staff is awesome, the jukebox plays pretty much whatever you want, and the drinks are strong. Hanratty's is a textbook bar. read more

i use to always go here. always always always.. i only stopped because i moved downtown. super strong drinks. super cheap. super random crowd, only thing in common is, professional drinkers/drunks. read more

omg, this place is always freezing. which kind of rules, but kind of doesn't. they have awesome bartenders (but my lady says she's kind of scared of them), and a bunch of pinball machines. the wheel of fortune one is so insanely fast and hard (lol), it's worthless to even play, though). the drinks are always super super strong, and the pool tables are all in really good shape. the prices are pretty good, too. they have a crazy weird hand towel thing in the bathroom. also, real darts (the kind that you can kill someone with) read more

Great dive/down home option for midtown-downtown Phoenix area. Sat on the outside pation drinking cheap beer to watch the cars, pedestrians go by. Best part, the hipster crowd hadn't seem to take it over yet, so it still feels like a bar for the good ole boys. read more

Just another Phoenix dive bar. Drinks are cheap and there is pool, darts and other games. The bartenders are usually friendly and the clientele seem nice enough. I've been here a few times and I've never had a great time but never had a bad time either. I don't see myself ever being a regular here but there are worse places to go....like Wineburger. read more

I have been wanting to come here for years! Unfortunately I picked a Saturday night around 9pm and the place was pretty much deserted. The servers were friendly though, and the place felt really casual. I could see this being a popular happy hour bar for folks that live in the area. read more

Allowed them to hold my debit card here last night, and had $883 taken from my account today. I wonder if there's a connection.

This is my favorite dive bar in Phoenix! Doesn't hurt that I live within walking distance, but I digress. Terry, one of the bartenders, is the main reason I like going there, she's very friendly and makes a good cocktail, plus will turn up the music if I ask her, which when you're deep in that jukebox game is always appreciated! They have three pool tables and two real dart boards and you usually don't have to wait to get either. Good, cheap, stiff drinks, games, good tunes, friendly staff, and nice atmosphere...everything you need/want in a good bar! read more

Honestly, I would wait to poach a table at Rosie's rather than wander in here again. Gotta agree with the rest of the reviewers here, I drove by this place for four years and I will keep driving by. Pluses- friendly service, available pool tables and ample seating (it was dead from 9 to 1130p on a Saturday). Minuses- lonely and uninspired inside. read more

Everything you expect it to be! A great hangout kinda joint. Great jukebox plus pool tables and darts. Hanratty's has a really laid-back atmosphere & is a great place to start your evening. The happy hour specials feature a nice variety (usually a coupla liquors and shots), not just the usual well drinks. They also host tastings fairly regularly. If you want a chill place to start your night...or just hang out w/your pals...go to Hanratty's! read more

Dive bar-Check! Cold beer-Check! Pool, darts, and other fun bar games-Check! If you are looking for a friendly atmosphere and a great place to gather, this is the place. There is nothing hoity toity about this place. I sponsored an event here last week with my co-workers, thirsty teachers, and HB's delivered. Service was fast and friendly. Happy hour prices were a plus. We will definitely return! read more

Came here for the first time to hang out and watch Ohio State Buckeyes football! What a welcoming crowd and excellent Cuban sandwich! The drinks were a nice pour and Smirnoff was $3!!! So much fun and we will definitely be back! read more

It is easy to be a regular here if you show up twice. Hanratty's is the picture perfect neighborhood dive bar. You can usually pick what ever you want to hear from the Online Jukebox. The bar staff are personable. It is too bad the owner doesn't put much effort in marketing or keeping up the place. It is usually dead on most nights. So if you are looking for a relaxed place to have a drink with some locals, this is your joint. read more

This is a fun, local place. Always clean, and the owner is very pleasant. And of course the best part is the big soft pretzels, with the spicy mustard and COLD BEER. read more

Cool place to check out some football on a weekend - good beer on draft and friendly service!

This place is a house to many regulars...dont go if you hate friendly bartenders, killer tunes, and a neighborhood homey bar feel.

Sitting at the bar as we speak. I always tell people how much I miss all the dive bars San Diego has to offer. Problem solved at HB Hanratty's. A dive bar after my own heart. Thanks HB! read more

If you are looking for a good dive bar this is the place. Dave says it has a "family atmosphere". Ryan says we saw marshawn lynch.

Went here when I first turned 21 and had a couple beers with some family. Everytime we ordered drinks, the bartender was very nice and did a great job with how fast she was able to get us our drinks. They have pool tables and some other games so you can pass time while hanging out with friends. TV's are playing the sport games going on. Only downside is the music playing in the background is really quiet. read more

Nice Dive, angie the lab is 8 years old and a darling! Good people and clean tables, stools, lavs etc.

If You like the Ohio State Buckeyes go here on game day. Yea it's not the Ritz Carlton or the other place in the entertainment district , but the fans are true and it's the closest thing to being in the shoe as you'll get in PHX . You're almost guaranteed a table. A neighborhood bar circa 1970s - 80's. They play TBDBIL CDs during commercials. This place would fit nicely on n. high street read more

I had a good time here on Saturday until my friend rang up her tab. The female bartender that night was a complete bitch to my friend because she forgot to tip her. It caused my friend to have an anxiety attack, and they ended up calling a cab for her - kicking her out. Granted, we had a few drinks, but it's her job to deal with people's personalities once they've had a few. What made it worse was that my friend tried to let her know she felt terrible and wanted to tip her, but this woman was not interested in calming her down or at least acknowledging that she was sorry. We were getting ready to end the night anyway. Other than that, the male bartender with a beard is nice, he was the one who actually talked to my friend before we left. The actual bar is dark, and the stools are uncomfortable. Parking is small. Because of how the female bartender handled my friend, I will not be returning. I'd be too concerned with pissing off this female bartender. It's not worth the relatively cheap booze they offer. This lady bartender could've handled the awkward situation better. If you give bad service, you don't deserve a tip. And my friend wanted to tip her. Not everyone has the extra cash to support your service job. If you are really concerned about making that extra buck, get a better job, don't take it out on the customer. read more

I grew up in the neighborhood (which I will now call uptown) and must have passed by Hanratty's a jillion times before finally going in to check it out. The bartender informed me that it's been open since the mid-70s, but this was my first time. (Side note: we wanted to go to the hookah bar down the street - 70s Shop or something, but it was so bright inside that just driving by we could see the face of every single person in there! I like my bars darker...makes me look better!). It's your pretty standard dive bar in Hanratty's- pool tables, wood paneling, CHEAP beer, friendly bartenders, juke box, but I thought it was much bigger, cleaner, and newer than most dive bars I've been in. Like a regular bar masquerading as a dive bar....or something. I see some comments on a bad smell ("old tuna" "danky" "dirty toilets"), but I didn't notice one...maybe I accepted one too many free bud lights from the bartender? Either way - a quality place with great service and really cheap drinks right in my 'hood that is worth visiting again. Oh yeah, and another plus is that they didn't cut us off 45 minutes before closing time like many places have a habit of doing. read more

Super disappointed the bartenderess messed up vodka with a twist of lime. She added sweetened lime juice. Place keeps getting worse along with their well liquor. I'll try it again though in 1 to 5 years, still there, still bad, lol read more

Rathole. I like dive bars, but some basic cleanliness needs to be observed. They do have a good beer selection, which is what got them the second star from me, but I will not be returning. read more

what an absolute shithole, the staff is rude, very dark, bathrooms are extremely dirty, and the beer is watered down. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!! read more

I went to this place because someone insisted I check it out. I went there around 7, and found it to be way too dark and found it not inviting at all. The price of the drinks in my opinion are not reasonable. read more

Quiet as a ghost town the last several years, once upon a time I would have given it 5 stars. Nice for pool if you are out with friends and don't want any competition. I just want my dive bars to have some life. Average drink prices these days, nothing special. read more

Had a great experience for a first time customer. Went on a Saturday night with friends and for being a dive bar, it was surprisingly busy! Good looking crowd too. There were two bartenders both of which were attentive and friendly. Really enjoyed the billiards and watching the Rousey fight. However, most importantly, they carry Papago Orange Blossom beer. Always a favourite! read more

If you're looking for a small town bar in Phoenix this is the place! The owner Steve as well as the bartenders are very friendly and accommodating. Where else can you find great service and $.50 pool tables in Phoenix. Plus, steel dart boards, read more
