This is going to sound so crazy, but I have been talking about this bar non stop for the last 2-3 years. I came out to Arizona from Kentucky with my best friend to babysit her SIL's kids. When out there we had a night out before watching the kids and wanted to do a little bar hopping. Tried out a few different ones and didn't like the vibes until we arrived at Jupe's. This place welcomed us with a cold beer and open arms! Staff is over the moon to greet new people and made us feel at home. Regulars made sure we were comfortable and showed us the ropes. Drinks were cold and shots (we had a "few") were all amazing. I tell every person who is visiting to AZ to stop by THIS place. Just thought after all these years of raving about Jupe's that I should make this review. Can't wait to come back!! read more

If you're a Vikings fan and you need a place to watch the game, this is your spot. SKOL!!

Cash only! Came in to meet my BFF Elvira and when I fist walked in it was so dark I couldn't see anything. But as my eyes adjusted I was able to see a fun bar full of regulars. The bartenders were excellent and the people there are great. Real down to earth group. I saw people playing pool and darts. I didn't see any food but I was told they have pizza or you are welcome to bring ur own food. I'll be frequenting this place a lot more! read more

Awesome dive bar, I stumbled across near my hotel. Kelly was so attentive and friendly. I met regulars so came back again, and met Colby, who was super kool too. Everyone was welcoming to this Cali girl, and we all kept the Jukebox going. They offer pizza, popcorn, and a variety of snacks. Oh, and don't forget to try the jello shots. read more

Great place for a or . Domestic beers are $2.50 before 7 PM. Cash only. Hatch green chile burros are first-rate, too.

This place is so down to earth! We got referred to this place while we were at another bar and we came the same night and it happened to be their 40th anniversary!! The owner was here and he was the nicest human being ever! Everyone was having a good time. If your from MN and love the Vikings this is the bar for you!! They had a pot luck and we were invited it eat it.. obviously we participated! Sunday specials can't be beat if you like Miller lite and if you don't .. go home.. or suck it up buttercup and drink a Miller lite .. it's technically water read more

I love a good dive bar. It's a good dive bar! Cash only though, it's only drawback. Bartender was sweet and I had fun. Eclectic mix of people and the music was all over the place. You never know what you're going to get. read more

I love Jupe's!!! Such a hidden gem. They have two dart boards and it reminds me of home (small town Montana) The people who work there are always so nice. Cheap beer and TVs everywhere. If you're a Vikings fan, this is a proud Vikings bar. read more

Don't go! Unless you like a bar with no music and only accepts cash. The bartender didn't have any ideas of a fun shot to take ‍

CASH ONLY Its a hole in a wall local bar jukebox, pool tables & darts. Super friendly bartender, free pretzels & inexpensive not in HH drinks. Im good here. read more

Top 5 dive bars of AZ hands down. Dark, cheap cold drinks, juke box for customers to control the AUX. SKOL VIKES

If you are expecting the Ritz, you've come to the wrong place. This is for sure a dive bar. And a great one at that. I have never been to a friendlier watering hole in my life. Not only the bartenders are friendly, the customers all seem to know each other and are open to new folks coming in. 2 pool tables (with straight cues), several TV's, Juke box (touch tunes) inexpensive drinks, especially during happy hour! It's cash only but they have an ATM. The only downside is it's a Vikings bar! LOL. Oh, and there is plenty of parking. read more

Friend told me she was going stir crazy, just moved her from Colorado and wanted to get out of her 4 walls and wanted to shoot some pool, me not being a pool shark had no idea where to go, but knew someone at work who would, he told me to check out Jupes, so I told her come Friday night we are hitting Jupes, What a great little neighborhood find we found, Jupes is like Cheers for our hood, it's a nice little dive bar, which I liked, had 2 pool tables, friendly bartenders and customers were nice too, didn't seem to mind the 2 new chicks. We played a couple of games, and then decided it was time to go run amuck, so off we went! I can say I will be back to Jupes, liked the feel of the place! read more

If "dive bar" were in the dictionary, it would have a picture of Jupe's. This place feels like the middle of nowhere, in a strip mall far removed from anything noteworthy whatsoever. This appears to be the only attraction with a one-mile radius, and something about that inspires patrons to get really really trashed. They've got a kinda sorta punk rock thing going on. They keep their liquor bottles (like Jager) IN THE FREEZER. It's like being at a house party! 4/5 would come back. read more

I've been lucky enough to have been shown downtown Phoenix by someone who seems to know all the good places. Being a Mesa resident, I'm still enthralled by all things shiny, but he's a little harder to impress. We opted to venture out in my neck of the woods one Sunday evening around 11. Well, if you know Mesa, the streets roll up at 10, so it was slim pickings. Not to worry, or so I thought. I had Yelp. I keyed in "cocktails" and a handful of places including Jupe's appeared. We were already in the car and it was the closest on the map, so off we went. Well, not two steps into the bar, I realized I'd made a horrible mistake. I was in enemy territory and it was too late to turn back. You see, the place felt like my grandpa's basement back home... all except one thing... I had stumbled into a Vikings bar and I'm a Packers fan, born and raised in Wisconsin. By the time I caught the issue, my companion was already seated at the bar. There was nothing I could do but keep a low profile and hope for the best. Now, if it wasn't for that stuff all over their walls, the place could be ok. Really. It felt like home. The patrons were friendly. The bartender was great. Nice pool tables. Dart boards. A jukebox that allowed me to select "On Wisconsin" from the parking lot as I left. (Sorry, guys. All in good fun, right? No hard feelings. And, for what it's worth, I had no idea the other song I picked was 17 minutes long. It was an honest oversight.) In any case, it was pretty clear they had a sense of humor. One only has to look at their Wi-Fi password to see it. (And no, I did not use the Wi-Fi.) Alas, my companion mentioned my home state in passing to the bartender, for reasons unknown. My cover had been blown. Thankfully, I was not run off with a pitchfork and after a little good-natured ribbing, was allowed to return back to my jukebox antics while the guys talked baseball. The moral of the story: if you want a cocktail, this is probably not what you have in mind. If you are a Packers fan, you may want to keep that under wraps. (FYI, the juke box plays Banana's at Large!) That said, if you want a warm and friendly dive bar with nice people and stuff to do while you drink a beer, you've found it- especially if you're a Vikings fan. read more

I've been stopping in here, when in the area, for over twenty years. One thing about this place is consistency... always cash only, always a Vikings bar, always as dark as grandma's basement, and always friendly folks inside. I showed up for a Packers/Vikings playoff game years ago, Packers won, but no blood shed between fans. If you're looking for serious dive bar action, this is a great place for it. Why only three stars? Cash only can suck if you're used to rolling plastic, but this place is what you expect. read more

If you are looking for dive bar welcome to the deep end! Jupes is a step into the Minnesota/North Dakota backroads less the gunracks and mudboggin. Jupe's is a great place for a cold beer or a stiff drink. Tap is limited to Bud, Bud light, and Miller light. The mini fridge has a good selection of jelloshots and the bar is otherwise well stocked. Come on down and get you drink on. read more

So went for a drink. I could care less if this is a gay bar just wanted to hang out with my friend. Two guys attacked us when my husband came up with his motorcycle and then decided we were angry leabians....the two guys called police and then ran and attacked us at our house after following us home. The worst part was when Chris the bar manager showed up and said just pull all drinks and tell everyone go home. Really we were attacked and you kicked us in front of the police and they apologize you sick Chris read more

Jupes is the only dive bar i go to. Its well managed, they keep the riff raff out, and its in the corner of a strip mall. It genuinly feels like a small town bar. read more

Jupe's met all the qualifications for a great dive bar:Nondescript, almost obscure location in a nondescript strip mall; early 80's decor (such as dark wood paneling) that has not been updated; cheap drinks; asuper friendly sweetheart of a bartender and a great crowd (the kind that chat you up when you're having a smoke outside) I'm pretty bummed that I live so far away from here because this would totally be my hangout if I lived in that neck of the woods. I will definitely be back for a couple of beers because this is a fun place. But I won't be getting my serious drink on here unless I get a local to take me home. In all seriousness though, Jupe's is one of the best Dive Bars in The Valley and definitely worth checking out. read more

. Minnesota Vikings Bar If you are into Dive Bars and the Minnesota Vikings this is the place you wanna be on Sunday. I first found this place a while back while on a Day Drinking Dive Bar Safari. Then later I was at another Dive telling of my visit here and the guy said they were Vikings Bar. I stopped in recently for an early game and a pitcher and the place was standing room only. Long story short ....the beer flowed, the crowd cheered, the Vikings won, women sang the Vikings Fight Song, Viking War Horns sounded...place was nuts... read more

This bar is in walking distance from our house. It is tucked away in a mostly empty strip mall. The first few times we went it was mostly empty because we went early ( between 7 and 9 pm) It tends to pick up closer to 11 or so. The bartender is great, and the drinks are cheap. They have a ton of different weird flavored vodkas, which I am generally not a fan of, but Chris has some great uses for them. We like chatting with him and getting is opinion on all the flavors. (cilantro= wetnap.) It is a cash only bar, so keep that in mind. All in all, we like it a lot. read more

This place is the best place for cold drinks, and good service. You will not be disappointed. I am a lifer. You will be too. It's been open for years and the reason is all inside. Steve and Chris know how to make you feel at home. Can't say enough about how much love this bar! read more

Great local dive bar. Low prices, several TVs for games, pool tables and darts, and staff were nice and social. No food and cash only so just be aware. Very much plan to go back and hang out. For Vikings fans, it also looks to be a Vikings bar. read more

Cozy little dive bar. A friend of mine got there before me and told me "are you sure this place is closed down"? I had to call them to confirm that it wasn't. When we all got there, we sat on this wooden round stool table and ordered our beers and weak fruity drinks. The bar was reletively empty at a Sunday night but you could tell there were regulars. One person in our group ordered a Grapefruit beer and some middle aged woman came up and shook his hand because she liked that beer too so you can tell that there are some regulars here. We didn't play pool, just talked but it was a relatively friendly, dingy little place which I respect for a dive bar. read more

Decent dive bar. Cash only. Wish they had more TVs. No food. No patio. Only 3 beers on tap (bud, bud light, miller lite). Two dart boards and two pool tables. Golden Tee. Minnesota Vikings bar. 1970s era carpet needs a serious cleaning. This place has a serious stank! read more

AMAZING!!!!!!! My fiancé is from Minnesota so we were looking for a place for the Vikings and found this place via YELP!!! This is the place to be if your a Vikings fan in the Easy Valley. We started coming here I believe Week 2 of the 2014-2015 season and have been back just about every week since. I am from Michigan and sorry to say am I big Lions fan. I gave my bar up per our weekly switch-off(as a true loving couple would do) to come here weekly, that's how fun it is. The owners Steve and Renee will remember you name and maybe your order if you tip well. Great people that provide a no frills good time. No food other than 2 pizza choices, a true Minnesota bar, during the games they have a pot luck. Yes, you bring something and have Renee set it up in the back. You can expect all the northern favorites; chili, pickle roll-ups, chicken wings, cheese trays, lil smokies etc. Booze, super cheap!!(cash only, atm onsite) Great Beer selection, lot of local and national crafts along with norms. Great choices for you mixed drinkers out there also. If you are coming for a Football Sunday, they do have the package, but only 5 TVs. Yes, you read that correct. Place can only hold 100 people according to the sign on the wall. But 4 at least will be on the Vikings game, if you're lucky and catch Steve in a good mood he may put one (above the jukebox) on your game (no sound). With that being said if your team is playing against the Vikings, it's also a good time. All around a great place with great people, so happy we found this place, we found friends for life! read more

Comfortable local small bar, The owners really care about their patrons. Trivia on Thursday nights is a lot of fun.

I was a bartender at Jupes off and on for 20 years! Love the owners, they are my family!! Never had a better job or time in my life, ice cold beer, frozen glasses, great clientele. You can shoot pool, throw darts, play the ass kickin jukebox or just sit and get tore up with the regulars!! The bar is kept very dark so let your eyes adjust when you walk in and if you are a Minnesota Vikings fan.........this place is for you!!! read more

Pretty quiet and nice go to dive bar when you just want a very mellow night. Not much craziness happens here. Well... On occasion. It's also a hidden bar so not many stragglers just bump into the place. read more

It was a dive bar. What more is there to say? Friendly enough staff and poured a decent vodka and soda. ;) It was kind of loud and we couldn't quite figure out what was going on. Was it a comedy show? A roast? A party? No idea. read more

Stopped in for a drink after a long bike ride. Total dive bar, but patrons and staff were very friendly. I didnt have a bike lock and the patrons/owner said i could just bring in the bike while I got smashed. I must have spent about $20 after being there for 2-3 hours. I think the beers are $2. Its a cash only bar, but they have an ATM in the front. I will definitely be heading there again soon. read more

Great little Dive Bar with a great cast of patrons. The weekend bartender is amazingly funny and cute.Good drinks and cold beer

This is a Five Star Dive Bar. Awesome, chances are you'll be outnumbered by all the local croonies in this hood. Bring a pair of fake Billy Bob teeth and you'll fit right in. read more

Super friendly, super low-key, pool tables are pretty much always available, and cheap beer! What else do you need??

We go to Jupes all the time! We love this place!!! Chris and Carrie are awesome, the beer is frosty and cheap and we love that its a neighborhood bar. The trivia night (Thursday) is so fun and they have a great juke box. read more

Great calm vibe and INCREDIBLY INEXPENSIVE drinks! The is the best dive bar ever. Its a cash bar only but you can run tabs as there is an ATM. Bartenders are friendly and attentive, there's pool and awesome music. Doesn't get better than Jupes. read more

Jupe's is a great dive bar, we been going there for over 25 years, always get your moneys worth on your drink. The owners Steve and Renae are great people. Its not smokey anymore thanks to all the do gooders with the no smoking laws. The bar is good for sports on the TVs also. Its dark and it is the main tenant in the strip center because of its longevity. We always fall back on Jupe's to go to. We live in the neighbor hood so its easy to get to and from. Have seen a lot of good people come and go, your always made to feel welcome. Stop by and have a good drink. Its worth it. Its a Vikings bar by the way. read more
