We went on New Year's Day, with a group of 10 People! Place was already open with about 8 people there! Only one waitress, who We thought would be 'overwhelmed' by such a large (unexpected) group! The service was 'exceptional', drinks served promptly and variety of food orders were delivered fast and organized!! Food was 'excellent'!! Definitely a 'Go To' neighborhood sports bar!! Highly recommended!! read more

Local neighborhood strip bar. Not that kinda Strip. Service looks to be good, a little bit hit n miss. More staff came on to help cover, so they're making the effort to show up - with a smile. A bit noisy here - half a for that. Came for Poker: Tuesdays @ 7 & Sundays @ 6:30. Check the front cover for other fun, like Karaoke on Thur, Fri, Sat. Trivia Wed. read more

Cheap drinks and pure dive bar. I'd say go here if you want to pregame and watch some sports!

Awesome dive bar! Came here for Fish Fry Friday with some friends and we were not disappointed!! First, the staff is amazing and so friendly and kind. Our waitress came to our table quickly and took our drink order. The drinks were strong and tasty! Good beer selection as well as liquor selection. As for the food - DANG WAS THE FISH GOOD! My husband and I split the fried cat fish then immediately ordered another portion Cajun style. So much flavor. Not greasy at all, and delicious fries on the side! Really great vibe all around and definitely worth a try in you're in the area. read more

First time Customer and loved it! The bartender was so nice. The atmosphere was great, food was delicious and very clean. Heard recently about change in owner and seems like the best decision for this place! Great selection of drinks and food was so fresh! Would 100% recommend and will definitely come back! :) read more

This place is amazing! Great people and great atmosphere. Drinks and food are good, love the pool table!

Stopped in on a Saturday night since it's so close to my place, but immediately left. I cannot review/rate the food as I did not eat, but I did want to comment about the ambiance. It's PERSONALLY not my cup of tea, it's a much older crowd and very country. I would not say this bar is very diverse or welcoming either. Be weary if you're not a regular. 3 stars to be fair, since I didn't try the food and did not stay long enough to be able to change my mind/opinion. read more

A week ago, it was my family's first time visiting the bar in the neighborhood and felt hopeful that things would be great with a sign saying "new management". Well, it was disappointing. Wanted a cold beer and bar food. Beer was "cool", not cold. Food was "cool", not hot - even after waiting 30 minutes for it to be served (they were NOT busy). Catfish for Fish Friday looked seasoned when it was on the plate, but it was greasy and flavorless -- looked seasoned from old grease. Fried mushrooms were soggy and lukewarm. Fried pickles were cold. Slimy wings coated in buffalo sauce were cold. Chicken & cheese quesadilla took the longest, even though it was first ordered before all other items - and was also cool with hardened cheese. Lemonade tasted like water with a lemon squeezed in to it. Server advised she was new, but she was very slow with getting to the 4 tables that had people sitting at them, and worried about people sitting at the bar. Needless to say for the price we paid, extremely disappointed. read more

Fun place, great bartenders. Now that the food is back I'll go more often. Great prices! Good place for watching sports. Have a new place to go now! read more

So you have to take it for what it is and adjust your expectations. If you come at it expecting a restaurant service you'll not be happy, instead have the perspective that this is a neighborhood dive bar. Friendly staff and bartender, not the fastest but what do you expect. It's a dive bar. They chat with customers and regulars. That's just the vibe. So relax, have a drink, and get the Mac and cheese bite which is awesome. One star off for no paper towels...dive bar or not, your bathroom should be stocked. read more

Had a blast here! Came here with my wife, enjoyed the karaoke and drinks, high energy crowd and friendly service. We'll be back!

Kat is the only reason I come in! She is fun, friendly and makes a mean vodka soda. It's a lost art...customer service. Best. Hire. Ever.

Service is great, spend a lot of time there in the past... some of the new patrons are not... went there for a cocktail before the movies. We met with a friend and there was right away an incident where a guy tried to start a fight with me... read more

The bartenders are super helpful and always on top of getting your refills. The karaoke depending on the night is spotty. Rotation isn't a thing. Expect to put 6 songs in as soon as you get there, spend 2 hours and sing 1 on a slower night. Tipping doesn't help. Don't waste your hard earned dollars on the male karaoke host read more

Nice dive bar for sports,drinks and food. The waitress/bartender lain was nice, sweet and helpful. read more

I'm so glad Kat is here she has true customer service. ! The food is amazing! It's a amazing spot to chill after work and have a beer with friends. Don't forget about Karaoke on Thursday Friday and Saturday! read more

Most staff members are great... except one. She (Shannon) does not like females for some reason. I have been personally verbally attacked by her multiple times. The first time was when I bought her and the other bartender a flower. If she was not there it would be 5 stars. Simple dive bar, pool table and jukebox. On weekends there is karaoke. read more

Awesome. Bartender was a sweetheart. Customers were cool. Their nachos are bomb. And they didn't cut me off Just kidding. I was fine.

Fun neighborhood bar, drink prices are not bad. Friday night karaoke can be fun. One pool table, darts, juke box. Out door patio. Very small limited menu, they could stand to keep the kitchen open longer for the later crowd to have a bite. read more

Marcel's is definitely a place for those who like dive bars. It's low-lit, filled with locals and even has a singing bartender. I've been there twice now and had two very different experiences: One, just having a couple with a buddy, and the other watching my Chiefs play football. Appearance: A smokers' patio greets the patron as they approach Marcel's in it's strip mall. Next to the patio is the main point of entry, you open it up to the usual neighborhood dive. A U shaped bar is to the left, going around a central bar island that hosts a series of taps. Tables are scattered throughout and a pool table is towards the rear of the bar. Behind that, a music box. As with any good local bar, about 30 percent of the lighting comes from the various beer neons around the location. Service: Every time I've been there, the staff of Marcel's has been very friendly. Once we had a singing bartender, and the other time the bartender did a great job handing a busy room. She didn't know me, but she knew everyone else there (as one might expect in a neighborhood bar). Product: Marcel's offers your traditional bar food, chicken tenders, hamburgers, wings. Their beer selection is about average for a dive too, you can get your domestic Bud, PbR and Coors, or find some great local or imports. The hamburger I had was good, but I was warned off the wings by a local. Prices: It's a dive, expect decent prices on both the food and the drinks. Last impressions: Marcel's is a dive bar. If you want glitz and glam don't even bother. It's not that kind of place. It is the kind of place where you can go, meet 15 strangers and have a few entertaining conversations. It's the kind of place where stories begin and people watchers can thrive. Marcel's doesn't have anything that makes it unique, but it has some really great employees and customers. I would recommend a drop in, if nothing else for a drop of beer and to catch a game. read more

Really like this place but.... I met a friend here, their first time here. Bad first impression. Got this on the car. There is no signs that say employee parking only and also was four other spots open. In fact when we left there was our car and the other one car there. Same as when we got there 2 hours prior. It was lunch on a weekday. Bad business you should be happy that someone new wanted to come to your place. read more

Marcel's Bar & Grill - Really? - Pubs Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This was the WORST experience of my life. last night for Saint Patrick's day we went here with a party of nearly 20, including 3 kids. Prior to making reservations here multiple people from our party called to ensure this was a friendly place to go with our family to sing karaoke and eat. None of us had been here before and had no idea this would be a full blown dive bar. When we called we were told kids were welcome and they could stay until 11. Mind you we would have NEVER made reservations if we knew this place was in fact not going to be kid friendly. We spent hundreds of dollars between us all. ordered food which all came out cold. Half of us didn't even get the food we ordered because almost immediately after arriving we started to be discriminated against for having the children with us. We were told we were being watched on the cameras and basically that we were bad parents not watching our children.As well as they sent a gentleman to come watch us for the remainder of the night as well. Also, My 8 and 10 year old were playing darts, again because we were told it was kid friendly and didn't think it would be a problem. As well as my friends daughter was playimg around the tables that we sat at. After being treated so poorly I left my number to have the owner call me. when she called me she basically said we weren't watching our children. She complained about the THREE YEAR OLD crying because she had fallen and bumped her head by accident. As well as she said we weren't watching our kids because my 8 and 10 year old were 5 feet away from our tables playing darts. Apparently if you don't have your kids on a tight leash you aren't watching your children.(I knew exactly where they were and was in fact keeping a good eye on my children.) Long story short they lied about telling us it was an okay place to bring children and then as soon as we got there they harassed us and discriminated against us, no matter how much money we brought into the place. And mind you other than the darts my kids stayed at the table the entire night and the 3 year old stayed close to the tables or by her mom when she was singing karaoke. Also, there were some under aged kids (around 16-18) there who said they were regulars and that they wouldn't be made to leave at 11 like we were because "they knew the owner." I have never in my life been so humiliated And disrespected. We never would of brought children to this place if they were clear about the atmosphere and the fact they are NOT in fact child friendly. So I urge you all, especially if you have children. Do NOT come here. They will lie to you, take your money and then harass, discriminate and then kick you out with no remorse as to how they have treated their PAYING CUSTOMERS. Also, if you plan on eating here again, don't. All of our food was cold or we just didn't get it at all because they were so set on harassing us all night instead of taking care of us. NEVER AGAIN. read more

I absolutely love this place and Saturday night karaoke. I've been coming here for years and it's always fun. Decently priced drinks, friendly staff and fun crowds are a Saturday standard! The only bad thing I would have to say which takes off a star is the bar could be a little darker, and in the summer it gets a little warm inside. Definitely a great place to grab a drink at any time of day and to meet up with the friends for a drink. read more

I love this local bar! I come here all the time with my friends and family. Their staff is very friendly and responsive, you will not have to wait long to be taken care of here. Always a fantastic experience! Also a great food menu that is offered late night. I would recommend trying the jalapeño pretzel bites, such a fantastic menu item. I will continue to visit Marcel's and recommend you do the same! You will always be treated in a fair and respectful manner, also check out their karaoke nights and other events. read more

We had a great time at Marcel's last night. It was karaoke night, which we typically avoid at most places, but it was such a cozy atmosphere that we managed to enjoy it. We sang along and felt like regulars. We will be back soon. read more

This is a nice place if you want to just hang out. They go awesome chips and salsa. They were so addicting. Love the fries zucchini. The chicken tenders were alright nothing special just normal. The prices here are awesome. It's like Wisconsin prices. You can actually afford to eat and get drunk here without drowning your wallet. read more

Karaoke sound is not got and to make things worse there is no method to the rotation. I came in and watched people sing multiple times before I was able to sing. If it is busy the host should not sing. I have tried 3 times since they ley the other host go and it is disappointing. Will not come back read more

Marcel's has the best staff and owner in the area. Mercedes coming home was a blessing. All the girls are great. Exceptional value on drinks and food. Great neighborhood bar and they open at 10 for anyone who likes Little Big Town's DAY DRINKING. BOB read more

The owner is the worse he is so rude they say they serve food but 90% of the time it's not available don't go here

I was hopeful to find a local sports bar that I could go to frequently since it's close to home. From the moment we walked in, no one acknowledged us for at least 20 mins. Mind you, the place was empty. We ending up seating ourselves, and waited for someone to come over. Another 20 mins later, nothing. So I went to the bar to at least order drinks. I let asked about ordering food and the young girl let me know someone would come over to our table to take our order. 20 mins later, nothing. I went back to the bar to order our food. It finally came out and as we were eating we found a hair in our ranch and went to the bar to let them know we found hair in our food and they seemed unbothered and gave us another ranch. We will never come back here and wouldn't recommend coming here if you're expecting service. read more

My mom and I decided to pop in here the other night and I'm so glad we did! This local bar hits the spot if you're in the neighborhood looking for that "Cheers" feel! Pool table, darts, trivia, karaoke, and daily specials all in one place! We ordered a few drinks (that were great) and shared an appetizer of fried zucchini and the steak Sam which. One of THE best steak sandwich I have ever had with melted American cheese! Our server wasn't the most friendliest but was very nice and quick. I will definitely be back on Sunday's for a game or karaoke or trivia night!! read more

Honestly, I wish I could give a zero. Cassidy (barkeep) is a rude, crass, ignorant person with little understanding of customer service. Ignores people and gives short and abrupt responses to simple questions. It amazes me how angry service staff are today and how little they really care about providing a good experience. I just came in to watch a sports game and left discouraged. Never going back to that place. Just rude. read more

Visited this place for the first time a few weeks ago. Went with several work friends, yes, one was already intoxicated. Walking in karaoke was blaring, drinks were flowing then within a few minutes the bartender/owner made a big stink about the drunk one. Now I'll give her a thank you for letting her stay, however she could have handled it a bit more professionally then making a scene. The friend wasnt stumbling, bumping, falling, or being held up. I can honestly say looking around she fit in the bar scene... Anyway, As the night went on the karaoke host was by far one of the worst. You had to yell into the Mic to sing over the blaring music. I explained a couple times ways she could do to fix the problem (I myself dj, and host karaoke) instead of her offering to fix the Mic problem she lectured me for 3 minutes about how she is a professional host and has hosted for longer then I've been alive, and how she doesn't need anyone giving her advice on her system (this was the first of 5 times she explained this to my group and a couple people around us). I felt like i knew her whole career profile. Last straw was the drunk one wanted to sing... Now im not a bar owner but im pretty sure a bar hires a karaoke host to entertain us (drunks). The karaoke host took it upon herself to tell her no because the bar wouldn't serve her.... Wait a second, she is a 3rd party company, hired to host karaoke.... Not serve drinks... She was completely rude and blatantly did not care. I explained to the owner/waitress the problem that set me off and she blew me off at first then agreed with me... By that time it was too late i was fed up, we were all done with this Gestapo karaoke host and we jammed out. I'll never spend another dollar at this place. To top the night off according to the owner/waitress and I quote: "in the state of Arizona its illegal to be intoxicated in a bar".... Liquor board needs to shut her down cause everyone was f*cked up that night. read more

I live in the area and this was my first time here. Your typical hole in the wall neighborhood bar. Not flashy at all. Patrons were friendly and welcoming and the food is good for being your typical bar food. They do have a huge menu and even a Sunday breakfast menu. My only gripe was that my food took a bit long to come out. Other than that, great! I ordered the bourbon sliders and they were very tasty. I will be returning. read more
