If you want that skeezy, dive bar, anything goes atmosphere head on over to Lyzzards. I love coming here to let loose when I find myself up in the Prescott Pines. Don't dig the cowboy scene? Lyzzards is here and ready for you. It's a no frills, fun bar with loud music (that isn't country). It's more of a local hangout with an eclectic mix of people. Stay till close - it's a blast. People watching is 5/5. read more

Most bars, even dive bars, have a "No cuts, No colors" policy. Lyzzard's on the other hand, appears to have no problem with someone wearing their Outlaw Motorcycle Gang cut in the bar. This, plus some of the other clientele, gave the place a super sketchy vibe. read more

I tried to call but the line was busy so I will leave this here. I'm not sure if this establishment doesn't check ID or if they just don't scan for fakes but they served my UNDERAGED son and I will be contacting somebody regarding the matter. Letting an underaged person into a bar is a great way to ruin not only the establishments reputation but it's a recipe for disaster. read more

If you are looking for a chill, relaxed, 25-45 aged crowd, this is the spot. Bartenders and great easy to talk to and personable. Music is nice and relaxed. Definitely a come back spot every time we are in town. read more

Lyzzard's Lounge - a beer and a beverage on a bar - Lounges Near Me - Prescott, Arizona

I was in town visiting friends and we came by here on an afternoon. It wasn't too busy which was fine with us since we were able to enjoy the full space. There's forty or so beers on tap, and they even had Jameson and Jack (whiskeys) on tap which is down right rare. It's fun place due to the various activities you can take part in. They have a couple pool tables, pinball and skeeball available, a shuffle board, a boxing machine, a jukebox, Jenga and other games. I wouldn't say this is a lounge, but rather a fun unique dive-ish bar. The bartender was friendly, and the drinks were nice and stiff. The bar itself is very nicely done back-bar which I was told was built in the late 1800s; the place has some history to it! read more

Great little dive bar that's not as busy as other places since it's not on whiskey row. Good stop for a drink or two.

Nothing fancy just a great bar. Service was great and the bar tender was super friendly. Drinks were poured and mixed well. Prices were reasonable for downtown. read more

Lyzzard's Lounge - Inside - Lounges Near Me - Prescott, Arizona

Lyzzard's is one of the popular downtown, off-Row bars occasionally referred to as "The North Row." Some websites say it in on Whiskey Row; it's not. I've heard out-of-towners on Whiskey Row say they couldn't find it. Perhaps likely because it can't be seen from the Row. It is just a minutes walk however, 1 block away around the corner on Cortez St, making it a must stop if you're doing a Whiskey Row Pub Crawl. Both the bar itself and backbar have a long colorful history worth mentioning. The massive Brunswick mahogany and cherry wood backbar is amazing - it was built in the 1880s, but stories vary as to where it originated from. Accounts agree that the last leg of its journey to Prescott was from San Francisco via wagon train, right after the turn of the century, when the bar itself was established. This all makes Lyzzard's a must stop if you're doing a Historic Downtown Prescott tour. The location started as The Del Monte Saloon over a century ago. It became Scholey's Pool Hall and switched to a pharmacy during prohibition. There were other name changes but it was always a bar right up until it became The Lido Buffet (still a bar) which is what it was when I first went in back in the day. It's been under the Lyzzard's moniker for a couple of decades now. Older reviews here don't reflect the current Lyzzard's experience. In the not to distant past it was a live music and dance club. It's also been an alternative music and punk rock venue, which featured international touring acts and recording artists. It has been through ownership, management and staff changes that have major impact on both the vibe and experience here. Right now Lyzzard's is experiencing a resurgence of popularity and draws primarily a 20s & 30s crowd, as more of a locals bar than a tourist destination. Typically, it is a stop on the "North Row" crawl: Public House/The Point/Lyzzard's. There is absolutely no live music or live DJ these days. You'll find 2 pool tables, a shuffleboard, and a variety of table, coin and social games, and a few TVs behind the bar. Even the raised performance stage has been converted into a game area. The big feature here is the most impressive craft beer on tap selection in Prescott; about 40 as well as Jameson and Jack Daniels on tap. The liquor is reasonably priced, with good pours. They seem to have a much better selection of less common liquors typically missing in Whiskey Row bars. Nothing even close to The Point, mind you, but still it's one of the few places I can order a Rusty Nail. (So much for being an old school cocktail drinker on Whiskey Row) Lyzzard's also sports the largest outdoor smoking patio downtown, with plenty of seating and tables, with about half being under a solid-roofed gazebo. This is definitely a spot where you will run into friends or familiar faces if you're from around these parts. Some refer to Lyzzard's as a "dive bar" which is not completely unfair. It's not filthy but it won't win any cleanliness awards, especially the restroom when it's busy. The decor is sort of low-rent fratboy party house, replete with a big aquarium, and obscenely adorned mannequin by the front door. Service is fine as long as you know dive bar protocol and are ready to push your way through to the bar and make your presence known. The uninitiated might mistake this for poor service when things are hopping, but seriously... it's on you to stake your claim and get served. One thing about Lyzzard's that is controversial is that they will trade you a drink for your AA Sobriety Coin. Ima leavin that one out there with no further comment. read more

See all

I paid cash but found out they charged my card too with no receipt. They charged me double for my drinks.

Bar tender was rude from the start, I sat down at the bar waiting for her, when she came over to me she didn't say anything, just stared at me. I finally said how are you and all she said was fine then kept starting. I asked if she had a certain beer and she she said yes I said I'll have one and she just turned around to get it but not before stopping for other customer that just walked up to the bar and took their order. Just a reminder for those who work on tips, great your customers like your happy to see them not like they are bothering you. This wes at 9:00 pm Wednesday 6/9/2021 read more

We went in there recently on a Saturday night and I asked for a Bud Light, pretty standard. The 5'-nothing bartender cops an attitude with me, "Nah, we don't serve that sh*t here.", acts like he's annoyed with me for asking. Kind of wild to hire some arrogant screw up for such a forward facing position, best of luck with that. We're all vets, we drink like fish, it's a lot of money you just lost. read more

This place is definitely not a 3.5 star. It's a 4star bar at the least! The band was great. Brittany was our bartender and she was so fun, polite, and helpful. She made my wife a blueberry mojito that she loved. Also made her a liquid MJ shot that we're going back for soon. Thanks for having us Lyzzard's Lounge! read more

So my other half and I decided to visit for the Boot Drop and since it was cold we did that early. We decided to check out what else was happening and we heard live music coming from this bar as we walked by. So we turned around to see what was up inside. Jackpot! We heard some great music. Deciding to stay for a drink or two we weren't disappointed. There was people of all ages inside just having a good time, a few dancing and most enjoying their drinks. Couldn't decide what to have and saw the Fireball right there and had some shots. The bartender was very friendly and made sure everyone was helped. The Midnight toast was fun and my hubs even was talked into wearing a hat to celebrate. :) The bar was impressive and looks to be very old and maybe original. Next time we're in town we will be back! read more

Where do I start. We walked in and there was no bartender. We waited for 10 minutes because she was playing pool. I ask if they had any drink specials for the day. The bar tender with her hands in pocket just shrugged her shoulders. I'll take that as a no. We ordered 2 vodka cranberries to make it easy. She made drinks, slammed them on bar and walked away to go play pool. We finished drinks, and waited for her pool game to end. It did, and she came over and finally waited on the couple beside us. While she was making their drinks, as she never acknowledged us, asked for our bill. She said $5. Ok.... I said, "I had 2 vodka drinks." She says, "it's fine." Well thanks for the cheap drinks. Your attitude will not bring me back. As a bar owner, get new help! Disgusting!! read more

My wife and I had an awesome time there yesterday afternoon. The vibe was good from the bartender and patrons. Our drinks were strong. The decor and the actual bar itself were pretty darn cool. When we're in town we'll make this a go-to spot from here on out. read more

Lyzzard's Lounge - a man sitting at a bar - Lounges Near Me - Prescott, Arizona

Shitty service. I was greeted pretty quickly Thursday night, but after my first drink I was ignored. And the theme kept the rest of the night. Sausage fest. Bartender was nice but she was preoccupied with some kid barely old enough to sit at the bar--his words not mine--overall a C- experience. Jukebox rolled into a bunch of good songs the employees fast forwarded though. Sad experience. Not worth it. read more

Great little dive bar w a beautiful Brunswick bar! Service was good and Bartenders good too!

Is this a gay bar? I'm not really sure, but the giant penis in the aquarium might be a sign. Anyway, it was fine, we went on a quiet weeknight with a small crowd watching sports, playing pool, hanging out. The staff was polite and told us this is the place for DJ dancing if that's what you're up for, sounds like fun but we were fine with the early crowd. Very nice outdoor patio and clean bathrooms. read more

A few weeks ago I went to a place downtown to go have some fun with my Husband. He told me of a place we have never been to before but came highly recommended from some locals. My friends and I enjoy live music . We were told of the band called Sefen n Rock that was playing. We were also told they play classic rock and are fun to dance to. That was right up our ally. First time we went to this place. When we got to the bar we noticed a very divvy feel, we like that. Crazy fish tank. Very cool bartenders, made us feel at home. It's just off Montezuma street , just down from the Court house Square. For being next to Whiskey Row, it was not the Prescott vibe we were expecting, it was better. Long story short. The band we were looking forward to seeing, sucked. With a name like Stefen Rock we were kind of expecting a tribute band. Nope. A duo, and they looked like they were right out of 'That 70's show, but only costume wise. Nothing but covers. They never sang one original song. I'm cool with that if you can pull it off, but these two , not even close. The girl who sings is in her golden years and her voice is tingy and then flat to say the least but she did hit some notes that were just short of caterwauling, it was worse than the earlier feed back on their amps when they were setting up. When she tried to reach high notes ... that's when I noticed everyones eyebrows standing straight up. It was the only time I saw that Stef n Rockman had the attention of the entire nightclub, but it wasn't good. They went from the Beatles to , Elvis, to Elle King X's and Os. What a disaster. Like my husband likes to remind me, Rock, Rockster, Rocket, still can't remember his name, could do a semi decent Elvis, but that was about all. My honey joked with me and said he thinks he saw them singing at Denny's in Henderson Nevada thirty years ago, good to see their still around. They had more pre-recorded soundtrack then actual performing on their instruments. It was more like their own korokke with autotuned, heavy autotuned. The lady played the harmonica but it looked recorded air harmonica. My husband said she did play it, what do I know. Musically, my second half and I were seriously disappointed. A few folks danced, everyone else just sat. For me and my hubby, we expected something more entertaining. What we got instead was a 240 pound singer who sat in a chair and never got off her butt the entire show, not even get up to thank some of the few folks that came to see her. I have to give it to my husband after he took out the napkins in his ears, he did say the most fun we had was driving home, and he was right. Negative -2 out of ten stars . Skip, (RUN FROM) this one if you can. read more

Well for starters, the 15 year old in front of us got let in with no ID but the big bad bouncer wanted to raise his voice at my 56 year old mom asking her for ID. The place is full of young teens. The beer is served in styrofoam cups and this place is dirty. I mean D I R T Y. There's a giant dildo aerating the foggy fish tank, the bathrooms are not tended to, no way no how. Just an overall terrible establishment. DONT waste your time nor money. read more

Nice downtown bar. Several pool tables for fun. It can get busy on weekends. Live music sometimes. The place needs a good cleaning. . especially the bathrooms. Not bad.. but not great. read more

I'm a very nervous/anxious person, especially around big crowds and when a place is dark, hot, or smokey. Walking past this place I thought for sure it'd be just that but it's not at all I LOVE it! They have free shuffle board,pool, and then "beer ball"/ski ball where if you get over 270 points you get happy hour pricing any time! They've got funny sayings on the walls as well (although not Yelp review appropriate :p). They have a new age juke box, darts, a boxing game, and pinball. I felt like I was in an adult chuck e cheese. If I were a sims character my happiness level would be maxed out!! Their draft list is very impressive! Amazing craft beer. They have a ton of TVs and a huge fan. It was really the perfect place for a Sunday fun day. read more

Maybe the best gay bar in Prescott, possibly the only gay bar in Prescott They played all my favorite music like Lady Gaga, Whitney Houston, and T Swift! Watch out for the cute brunette bartender, he's handsome but spicy read more

Lyzzard's Lounge - Tropical fish tank. - Lounges Near Me - Prescott, Arizona

Went Out Last Night with my wife and her co worker. We went to a few bars and ended up stopping by here. My wife and a her coworker went in while I had a cigarette, then the doorman would not me in for not having a mask. I asked politely if he good grab my wife or let me in to get them and he said no. Absolutely horrible customer service, rude and unprofessional. This place is a roughneck dive bar for the lowley and destitute and I highly recommend not going or taking your friends or family. read more

The epitome of a great dive bar. However, they have an amazing selection of Tequilas, including Fortelezza. Definitely a great spot to throw a few back. read more

You want cool dive bar? You got cool dive bar. Nice selection of icy cold taps and friendly staff. Cozy place to have a drink, sometimes gets pretty busy and rowdy on a Friday or sat night but it's actually a really cool bar on Cortez. Jell-O shots, let's do it!! read more

I was visiting from out of town and the bartender took great care of everyone. He did the right thing when a patron needed it. Great service. read more

Cool people mixed with douche bags. Typical mix, roided our bouncers with mommy issues and anger management issues.

Our first stop in Prescott on my first road trip with the Fantastic Mr. "It's Complicated." We pulled into town, parked behind the bar and went in for a drink. Before we contemplated where to stay for the night - truly, the first stop. I was immediately reminded of my last trip - to see a friend's band play, circa late 1990's. I brought his kid sister with me, used my ID at the front door, gave it to my friend who took it out back to hand to his sister so she could use it to get in. Sorry about the legal violation, guys! But it was a fun night. And Lyzzard's is still just as cool. Great bartender, huge selection, fair prices. Dog friendly (okay - I am a sucker for that anywhere, even when my dog isn't there...), decent patio for smoking and a good place to hang out. Didn't catch any of the live music this time around, but truly a decent place for mellow day drinking. We'll return, definitely. read more

Shout out to Barkeep, Richard!!! Super friendly, attentive and funny fosho. Great atmosphere and a great host.

One of the younger and louder bars on Whiskey Row. I would skip this if you're over 50. We had a great time here listing to live local tunes and quaffing cheap drinks - I'll be back. read more

Stopped in just for one drink on a bar hop around Prescott. Did't stay long enough to get a real feel for the place but it seemed cool and laid back. The bartender was really great and was nice to our large group. They have a ton of craft beer on tap, mostly from local Arizona breweries. The bartender told us about each one and let us taste a few to see what ones we would like. The prices were good and they had good music and stuff to do while you drink. read more

This bar is a VERY Unprofessional establishment. The bar tender Alex should NOT be working in customer service and SHAME on the owner for allowing him to work there especially after witnessing how he treated a Customer after she asked why he needed her zip code to run her credit card. He called her every name in the book and the owner allowed it! I will NEVER give my money to this place EVER! read more

Used to be a pretty cool place. Now I feel unwelcome there. Shows are so poorly advertised. Feels like an insiders only bar now. read more

Lyzzard's Lounge - Lounges Near Me - Prescott, Arizona

First time to whiskey row. This was a great stop. The staff are friendly and professional. The bar is well stocked and a nice cozy place! Prices are fair and lots to do. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

The cool thing about Lyzzard's Lounge is that they support local music. It's one of those venues that always has a band booked and they have drink specials every day of the week!! If you like tequila or imported beers, you'll be in heaven here thanks to their long list of both. The bar is made of wood and stocked with more alcohol than you've ever seen. And this place is yet another historic building in Prescott- it was built in 1905. read more

Lyzzard's Lounge - a lizard holding a beer glass - Lounges Near Me - Prescott, Arizona

Disgustingly rude bartender, who has no respect for the military or veterans. We were happy to find a bar that was open, but the troubles started as soon as we walked in, with his negative attitude. He eventually kicked us out because he said he told us to wear a mask at the bar and said we probably stomp on American flags. Definitely lost our business the next we are traveling through Prescott. read more

Drink prices were on par for everywhere else in town. I don't know why people complain about the prices on the reviews for this city, but less than $5 a drink for non-well booze is dirt cheap. I understand Prescott is a pretty dog friendly town, but bringing your unleashed dog to a bar, then letting it roam in front of and behind the bar is a new experience for me. Whatever, I enjoyed my company and they poured cheap drinks ... works for me! read more

Cool little hole in the wall bar. Just off Whiskey row and more locals than tourists. Good beer selection. Pool tables are in decent shape for a bar. Very friendly service and great prices on everything. A favorite for my wife and I when we are downtown and looking for a cheap drink to relax. Also one of the few places that accepts credit cards as we never have cash. We love this place. read more

Been going there from time to time since 2001 won't be back cause of some blond that wants to ignore serving me when I walk in. Then proceeded to ignore me and talk to people at that slow (Because unwelcoming bartender) bar. Welcome to Prescott! read more
