Lookout Tavern was definitely a unique and different bar. It was definitely busy, with great music and cheap drinks. With seating both inside and out, there was space, privacy and fun for everyone. Service was quick up at the bar and the space was clean. The bouncers were nice and inviting. It was a loud environment but you could find a bit of quiet outside. This made for the perfect vibe and a great ending to a fun night. read more

Lookout Tavern - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The employees are friendly and welcoming. I had good service during my visit and felt comfortable. I sat inside at the bar, which was nice as the windows were open and I still got the outdoor feel. At the risk of sounding insufferable, the food was absolutely mid. Wings were "okay"- no more, no less. Pros: good flavor hot buffalo sauce, great ranch, not overly big and meaty. Cons: not crispy enough for my taste. Especially the flats. Could go much hotter. Crispy buffalo salad: again, mid. Decent chicken, and that's about it. I ended up zhuzhing up the salad at home with blue cheese crumbles and some additional dressing. Why am I paying $18 to make my own salad??? Overall, I won't go out of my way to be back. If I'm meeting a friend for a beer, then sure. read more

I recently went to Lookout Tavern for dinner and ended up staying much longer than planned, in a good way. I sat at the far end of the bar where no one else was sitting, which I appreciated. The dining area is hosted seating while the bar is self-seating, exactly as expected. When I arrived around 5:45 pm, it was calm and relaxed. For dinner, I ordered the cheddar bacon smashburger with fries, adding ranch seasoning and Cajun seasoning to the fries, along with a seasonal rotation beer, the New Voodoo IPA. The burger came out exactly as pictured, complete with crossed bacon. While I personally feel crossed bacon is a bit of a waste of bacon, it does make for a nice presentation, and the burger itself was very good. The fries were hot, crispy, and well seasoned. I might have preferred a little more ranch seasoning and a bit less Cajun, but overall the flavor was excellent. At first, I was served by a bartender who many other reviews seem to reference. If I had to guess, he may even be the owner. He was kind, attentive, and clearly took pride in both his work and the establishment. As my dinner arrived, the restaurant started to get busier. One thing I noticed was the lack of a hostess. The waitresses were rotating greeting people at the door, seemingly by table sections, which caused some guests to stand near the entrance longer than expected. That said, no one appeared to leave, and it seemed to work for them in the moment. A dedicated hostess would likely improve that process. Although I didn't interact directly with the waitresses, they did a good job attending to their tables, even those that had been waiting for a bit. There were also several groups of regulars, which felt very on-brand for this type of neighborhood tavern. As I was finishing my meal, they started music trivia bingo from about 7 pm to 9 pm. I decided to join in and ended up playing all five rounds, ordering a couple more drinks, and sticking around for the fun. During trivia, Cassandra became the main person taking care of me, and she absolutely stood out. She was funny, friendly, and genuinely helpful, making the experience even better. When I decided to order dessert, I went with the chocolate chip skillet. When Cassandra delivered it, she mentioned it was her favorite item on the menu, and she was absolutely right. It was delicious and far more generous than expected. Overall, I had a great experience at Lookout Tavern and am definitely looking forward to returning, trying more food, and seeing what other surprise events they offer during the week and on weekends. Cassandra's service, in particular, made the night memorable. Highly recommended. read more

This spot is basically the best of both worlds during the day it's a small pub style eatery and then at night it kind of turns into a nightclub if you're lucky our server was really sweet... we had a group about 15 so I know she was stressed out, but she did an amazing job. Definitely a nine out of 10 would definitely recommend the wings are very crispy. Well seasoned and really good did not however like the pizza so don't waste your time. The crust was soggy but everything else is really good. If you want all your liquor order a shot, but that's generally the rule of thumb lol you know I'm here for a good time at a long time. Try it out I think you'll like it. read more

My roommate and I came here for New Year's Day brunch. This is a great place for sports fans, as there are wall sized screens for viewing games. I ordered their double smash cheeseburger on gluten-free bun, with fries. Both were excellent. My roommate ordered their impressive double smashed burger topped with cheese, pulled pork, bacon, and mac and cheese- so much food, we had to take home half of the order. Atmosphere is very casual, service is efficient and friendly, and the prices are really good for the quality and quantity of the food. read more

Lookout Tavern is a vibe! I went on a Friday for a fundraiser for a local high school to play Bingo and it was so much fun! The food was appetizers like chips n queso/salsa, pretzel bites, boneless chicken wings in several flavors , and cheeseburger sliders. The food wasn't good to me, but it didn't take away from my experience because I didn't purchase it. I would probably never order any of those items either. They do have great food though . Just not if it has to be put out buffet style. The drinks were on point , and they weren't being stingy so that's a plus in my book! Scott was walking around making sure everything was running smoothly and helped me when I needed a water carafe. He was amazing!! He even took our drink orders so we didn't have to leave our table . The DJ who hosted the bingo was also a vibe! He was fun and funny . After the fundraising event ended, there was more Bingo. I didn't stay, but I had a great time. I will be back for another good time . read more

Decided to try this place after a good strenuous hike. Walked in and the restaurant was pretty busy to start but we found seats instantly at the bar. Greeted right off the bat and got our drinks rolling so we could figure out the food. The menu is quite small and not much on it for a lunch menu but that was ok. Sometimes it's great to be basic and not have pages and pages to decide from. The beer and drinks were spot on and the burger/fries were delicious and hot the spot. The bar area was in the middle of the restaurant and bordered inside and outside which made it cool and comfortable. I can see myself going here again especially after another hike! read more

I will change my review when ownership speaks to me about the pizza and explains why they thought it was a good idea to change it. They just changed it , and it's awful. This isn't pizza. Dave portnoy would give it MAYBE a 1/10 rating if I'm being completely honest. I would be willing to bet $10,000 that the executive chef Connor did not approve of this new pizza , there's no way. This came from the top, from someone in ownership, who thinks they know what good food is. Holy smokes yall... I have spent close to $2,000 here this year and I'm disappointed as heck. read more

The late night crowd is definitely from the higher number avenues. This was a fun spot to hang out about a year ago but it's gotten not as fun as it used to be, mainly due to the late night crowd who now goes there. The service is good and the bartenders are attentive and nice. Music is also a good hip hop mix but I'm not sure how everyone who is there unfortunately found out about it. Daytime vibe is more like a sports bar and their buffalo chicken wrap is excellent. Great location and a lively sports bar during the day and the only neighborhood night club at night. read more

Welp....this last visit definitely made up our mind about coming back to Lookout Tavern. We've been going every few months for the last few years for trivia on Wednesday, and I have NEVER seen a restaurant go through so many changes that negatively impact customers. First, the Happy Hour is no longer extended until 7p on wednesdays and the Happy Hour Menu is a fraction of what it used to be to be. Second, the overall menu changed every time we've visited, and it seemed like portions have gotten smaller while prices have gone way up. I understand the need for higher prices due to supply and demand, but $18 for a buffalo chicken wrap that comes with barely 1 1/2 pieces of chicken is ridiculous. Even my husband's buffalo chicken salad had HALF of the chicken it use to yet was more expensive than our last visit a few months ago. Lastly, management continues to ask for feedback and I really have to wonder if they use it. The place is constantly busy so I can't imagine they're really hurting so bad that they have to continue to increase prices and remove value for customers to come back. The only saving grace is their staff which we've always appreciated. The servers are so very nice and provide a high level of service to each table they're assigned. read more

The smash burger was quite tasty. Adding ranch/cajun seasoning to the fries was well worth the 25cents. I would order it again. Table set up is a little weird. Luckily there are TVs everywhere. Service was pretty fast and friendly. I would come back again to watch a game. read more

Went there on Sunday to introduce Mom to the place as it is one of my sons' favorite place. She commented on how nice the exterior looked and we told her how we like the patio on cool fall and winter days to watch baseball and football. Yesterday was too hot, so we sat in a booth. The manager (I think) greeted us right away and put the Dbacks game on for us. The food was great, their menu change has livened up some of the dishes. We started with the pretzel bites and they were just right. Mom is a big stickler for greasy food and she said they were just right. She had the bison burger, my son had the Big Dill, and I had the plain old American style burger. The drinks were flavorable and the experience all around was great. Definitely a place to hit up when the weather warrants outdoor seating for catching a game. Check out our video review on our Facebook page - Gawin Ventures. Like and Follow!! read more

We ordered delivery and the quesadilla was fantastic. I rarely eat spicy food but I needed something different to perk up my appetite. Beautiful blend of flavors, spicy but not set my mouth on fire spicy. Nice sized serving, grilled to perfection. I highly recommend their Buffalo chicken salad as well. GREAT JOB THANK YOU read more

Came back because the first visit was great--this time felt like we unlocked a secret level... and not in a good way. The bartenders were dressed like they were headed to a completely different kind of establishment, and let's just say dinner came with more "cheek" than expected. Not really what you want while eating. Then the music suddenly cranked up and the whole place morphed into a nightclub before we even finished our meal. I just wish we had a heads up (and maybe earplugs). Hard to hear conversation. Not what we came for when we arrived. Service was a bit slow and came with a side of attitude, like we were the inconvenience. If you're hoping to enjoy a relaxed meal... you might want to double-check what time the "transformation" happens. read more

We were ignored as soon as we sat down. No waitress came over even after I made eye contact. Horrible servic.

Great food, great atmosphere. Our server was fantastic.! bingo night was a lot of fun and it was for a great cause!

Decent place to go to watch a game. Food was decent as well. Service can be better....we had a waiter that rushed us to order because her shift was ending soon and then we were never tended to again after that. read more

Came in to finally try this place out during restaurant week. Seemed to be a good value $44 for a couple. The first round potatoes were decent. Nothing special but also not bad. The entrees on the other hand left a lot to be wished for. The lasagna was literally inedible. Full of grease and lacked any resemblance to lasagna. The meatloaf needed a ton of spice and a rework. It was just barely edible. Lastly was the brownie dessert. It was actually good but after the other items I can't rate it above a 3. Service was great and it was trivia night so at least the environment was somewhat fun. read more

Miserable Buffalo Chicken salad from the new menu. The chicken, switched to Lemon Pepper, was in a separate container and not bad. The salad part was horrible with extra fancy lettuces and some cheese. Check Zipps to learn how to make a salad guys. read more

I made it to Lookout Tavern twice for brunch. One Saturday around 10 am and another Saturday at 12. By noon it was packed! They had games on all the big screens and it was very lively. Service was good both visits, even when they were very busy. Both visits I got chicken and waffles, the Nashville Hot with Berries and the Spicy Buffalo Chicken. Both were really good, but my favorite was the Spicy Buffalo. My sister got the Breakfast Burrito one visit and enjoyed her meal. They have a wide variety of breakfast and lunch options and all sound great. They also have an extensive drink list. I got the Irish Cold Brew and loved it! It was the perfect brunch drink. A great spot for weekend brunch. Parking is very limited so plan accordingly if coming with a group. I would love to come back and try more and try lunch and dinner too. read more

5 stars specifically for the Monday Night Kids/Family Trivia: our friends invited us to join them for this new event and it was a blast! I'd been to the restaurant once in the past and it was fine! Standard bar food, lots of tvs for the husband, lots of space for big groups...no complaints, but no real push to come back unless invited...so when we were invited for something different and fun, I was excited! It's been a long time since I've been to a trivia night. I knew I wouldn't contribute much but the people I was with are all pretty smart and the game was challenging enough! Definitely not any questions our 6 & 7 year olds could answer but they were fine eating and coloring. We got an appetizer and dessert for the table and I got a margarita and their buffalo chicken wrap...which was delicious! I want to come back for another trivia night with friends! Great job, Lookout Tavern! read more

Lookout Tavern is a great find! Its location is a little off the beaten path, but that's a good thing! It's a pretty big, open restaurant with a ton of TVs! The service is usually great. Super quick to be seated, and servers are very prompt and friendly. The food is always amazing. It's the typical bar food options, but they are really good! My fav is the buffalo chicken wrap. They also have a kids eat free night and free family trivia! read more

Ive only been here a handful of times but "THIS TIME" Was excellent. Not just because it was a football night and my team won but the new Bartender Corbin did an excellent job! He was attentive and grabben me a beer instantly. Then he made sure that we were comfortable the entire time. Great attitude and good conversationalist. The last couple of times i was met with a Bartender that didnt seem to care or be present to where i had to actually raise my voice to get her attention to get a refill, AFTER BEING EMPTY for almost 45 minutes. Anyways i was very pleased with Corbin and his effort and making this experience an amazing one! read more

Lookout Tavern - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I'm real conflicted. The bartenders are very polite but they are sloooow. I Asked for a drink menu and it took a long while before someone came and took my drink order despite the bar not being crowed. Okay now I know why this elderly man was screaming for service. At first I thought he was drunk when he probably just wanted service. I ordered a burger and fries. Nothing too spectacular to write home about. I ordered my burger medium but when it arrived, it's like the edges were burnt. I'm hungry so I eat it anyway. The Sonoran sour- all I remember is tasting tequila so basically the bartenders pour heavy. One drink was all I needed. I wanted Mayo and when I asked for it.....it took forever and a day to get it. Okay now here's what I liked: lots and lots of TVs. This is clearly the place to be for sports. Maybe I was on a one off night. Either way, I'll come back. read more

Today was my first visit to Lookout Tavern. I pass it all the time and I recently had an occasion to take a friend out for her birthday, so I suggested this spot. First a huge shout out to our server Kelsey. She was patient as we chatted a bit before we ordered. I asked her for her favorites and we chose one of them. Top notch! My friend got the Nacho Average dip (recommended) which was the opposite of typical nachos. Instead of the cheese or in this case queso poured on top a basket of chips, it was a bowl of cheese with a bunch of toppings. And then a separate bowl of chips. No sogginess! Boo ya! Needless to say the rest went home. I got the chicken tenders which came with fries. I asked for the fries to be extra crispy well done hollow tubes and she made sure they were. The tenders were huge. I ate 1 plus some fries and a few nachos and I was done. Rest went home. At the end I asked for two meals to go, cause in this heat I'm not cooking! I haven't tried mine yet but I got the Crispy Cobb salad. And my husband wanted the Bacon cheddar burger with the same well done fries. The food tasted and looked delicious. I have to point out a few little touches which impressed me. My to go salad had crispy chicken and they put it in a separate container with paper underneath. It was the first thing I was going to do when I got home because I don't like hot/cold mixed together and when I saw that I was happy. Another little touch. Their tables in the booth are not bolted to the floor. Its so convenient to be able to have a little more room to slide in. I usually choose a table and chairs because most restaurants bolt those puppies down. The manager (I think) stopped by as well. Another nice touch. If I had to point out anything sub par it would be the difficulty getting in and mostly out of the parking lot to try to go east. If our dinner is as good as our lunch was, I'll be returning with my husband. Sorry no pics. I really didn't plan on writing a review. read more

Had a table of 6 for dinner there on a Tuesday night. We received little to no service from our waitress to the point where we had to leave the table and walk over to the bar ourselves to order drinks. Asked repeatedly for ranch for our wings and a to-go box for our leftovers. Ambiance and food were on point but we won't be back due to the service. read more

I have been here a few times, only for lunch, mostly outdoors. The outdoor seating area is small but comfortable. I usually do not like to seet outdoors near a parking lot, but there has not been much traffic for lunch, and it has been nice. Their menu has good variety, and the fries have been on the above average side :) Service has been prompt and friendly. I recently placed a big order (pick up), which includd the bacon wrapped jalapeños (great!) which come with a sweet red sauce (chipotle strawberry). I am glad I ordered the (I think it is called Flat Bread) Pepperoni pizza, which had a 2 for 1 special. This pizza was great, the bread was not flat at all the it was in fact very appetizing. I also ordered a ribeye with cold macaroni salad and a loaded potato. That one was very good, particularly for the price. And, to my surprise, the steak was cooked to my satisfaction (rare). From all the things in that order, only one I considered to be just so-so, and it was the Hatch Green Chili Flautas (5). The flavor was good, they were crispy (I think flour tortilla), but the stuffing was barely there... and I did not see any sign of avocado (to be fair, I think it says avocad cream, but oh well)... plus... they are lots of carbs and fat, and barely any protein. I think they would be an awesome appetizer or meal if they had chicken or shredded beef/pork. Overall, I do like the food from here a lot, and the service is quite friendly. Parking is not very roomy, though... if that is important for you. read more

New to the neighborhood and brought my family for kids trivia expecting a chill sports bar vibe, but the management here is a complete joke. The place feels unprofessional from the second you walk in. Uncomfortable atmosphere, manager seemed more involved in bantering with staff than actually working, being greeted and seated took forever because 'the boss' was too busy chatting up his female employees instead of running things properly. Saw the manager sitting at the bar talking to his employees while managing. Not coming back, and won't recommend to anyone looking for a decent spot to watch the game, or enjoy other week night activities. read more
