This place is so amazing, I don't want to tell anyone about lol! So if you come don't fuck it up! My family and I loved the amazing service and prices, not to mention the food was off the hook and fast! Make sure you order the green chilli nachos the pickle fries! Thanks again guys! read more

I'm still unsure if it's a gay bar? More lgbtq and people there. Totally cool ...!! and good food and good drinks. I hear they are expanding. Sweet! read more

First time in. Had the Luis' Nachos with the chicken tinga and the pulled pork sliders. It is made to order and came out pretty fast. The food was amazing. Also has the peach Arnold Palmer. One of the best Arnold palmers I've had. Our bartender was in his A game. Very attentive friendly and quick with the refills. The bar has good music, a disco ball, pool table and plenty of space. I think we just became repeat customers! read more

Food is still delicious AF. Great atmosphere, fast, and friendly service. My past reviews have held strong. Come on down to McKenzie's for a fun night of drinking, and bomb bar food. PS the green tea shots were delish! read more

Stopped by to watch some college football on an early Saturday evening. The place is covered in lights so pretty easy to spot. It looks like an old 70s block construction building, but has been updated on the inside. Sat at the bar, service is fast and friendly. I opted for a local beer, some type of roasted ale. Was tasty. They had a pretty good selection of beers and the menu had quite a few items on it. Was a bit hungry opted for an order of honey hot wings. They were hot crispy and with a little bit of spice. All in all enjoyed my time at McKenzie's and would return. N*joy! read more

Love the curds. Heard they are upgrading the interior and adding an outside area to play in.

Ambience is incredibly festive lots of Christmas lights and curious things to look at on the walls. Service stole the show our server was amazing and attentive A++ drinks were good as well., have to scan a QR code for the food menu. Ordered the patty melt and the server asked "do you want anything for the fries like ranch?" ....."why yes I do!!!) it's nice they offered a lot of places don't. Just let me tell you the best ranch I EVER had ! Creamy with great flavor! The fries were delicious as well, thin and crispy. My only complaint was my patty melt was way overcooked ! I hate an overcooked burger . I just kind of picked at it. Great neighborhood spot everyone had a lot of fun would definitely go back! read more

Went for music bingo, so much fun! Also the vibe in this place is dive bar heaven. Service was great, we had a group of like 12 and our server was on it. I had the Meltdown and it was very good! They had a special of wings and beer and I did get some feedback that the wings were the best but I would give it a shot, they were busy af and I didn't see anyone send their wings back. I will definitely be back. read more

I was visiting from Florida and looking for some place to eat later in the evening once I landed. This place was only a half a mile away from where I'm staying and was definitely the right move! Being a big disco ball fanatic, when I walked in I immediately saw about five or six spinning in the ceiling! The decor is a lot of fun from the license plates in the ceiling to other fun things on the wall all over the place. The staff was super friendly and made me feel like they've known me for years. Drink and food prices were great and the owner was very personable. Loved this spot ! read more

I love this place for Happy Hour! and whenever I am craving wings this is one of the first place that comes to mind because their buffalo chicken wings are some of my favorite, also, everyone there is pretty friendly. Their burgers are also pretty good. But definitely a must for a drink or a beer to unwind after a long day. read more

I've been to this gem of a dive bar a few times and have never been disappointed. Last night I went and it was karaoke night which I wasn't expecting to participate in! But their awesome servers and nice patrons convinced me to overcome my fears and sing a song. It was so much fun and everyone was so supportive/nonjudgmental- I even sang another before I left lol overall super fun night! Special thanks to the bartender as well who made exceptional old fashions to provide me with some liquid courage. Lol read more

Honestly, i downloaded Yelp just to leave this review. this bar used to be great and super fun, i would always come with my girls until the new owners bought it. was revamped and went down hill. not a fan of the owner... he had a horrible attitude and the service wasn't top tier. Food was mid, the ambiance was okay, but i don't think i will be coming back to this establishment read more

Great place for drinks. Love the vibes and workers are all great except there is definitely a grumpy waitress (but maybe it's because it's trivia night?) love the rotating frozen cocktail and ask for the boozy ice cream read more

Love this dive. It's low key, mellow exuberance, comfortable ambience - it's a real American Pub! Not too noisy, not too quiet, not in your face but inviting. Relax with a Kiltlifter or Angry Orchard, and munch on their fab Ryan's Reuben with its incredible pulled corned beef or their really tender and moist Sexy Chicken Sandwich. A nice place for conversation, bragging, relaxation, brewskies and eating. This is my high five fave dive, and that's no jive! read more

What a great sports bar! Came here for a work happy hour. Great deals on drinks from 3 to 6. They have a lot of whiskies and bourbons for my brown liquor fans. Doug was an awesome server. We had 12 of us, and he was on top of it for drinks. I ordered the green chili pork quesadilla and pork sliders (in hindsight, i should have picked a different meat for the quesadilla lol) fried pickles, i thought they were a little salty, but everyone else loved them. Veggies and ranch for those of us trying to eat healthy, lol. I will definitely be back read more

Decided to finally try this place Sunday, and watch some football. Had heard alot of positive things about the place. This review is more about a place to watch football and have a few cocktails. Place was very well kept and staff very friendly. Beers were not to expensive, and a very lively crowd, mostly above 35 crowd which was up my alley. I liked that its centrally located on 7 th st south of Camelback close to my VA. Noticed they had a few cool theme nights throughout the week as well. ended up ordering just 2 beers ( 11$) as i couldn't pull the trigger on the food seeing the plates nearby and seeing the prices were a little steep, decided to go to my go to at Wineburger for the 2 nd half of Cards game and get my favorite burger. I'll have to try the food next visit, only issue imo was cost of burger 15-17$ , and ordering from a QR code. read more

Came in to McKenzie's to watch the diamondbacks game, and have a bite. The service was nice, we picked our own seat and the person who checked our ID at the door brought us water right away while our waitress came. We ordered the But it's a dry heat burger that came with jalapeños which was really good, it had a nice kick to it. We also ordered the honey hot wings which are my favorite by far! The taste is literally what you hope for when you order honey hot. The place is a bit small, I can see it being full or busy on big game days. Good place to watch some sports though. read more

Kim the server was amazing! One of the friendliest staff I've ever met. She welcomed us in for our first time and was attentive even though she was buzzing around the place. This bar is awesome! It's dark in there and has license plates, Xmas lights and fun things on the wall. Plenty of TVs for sports watching. There's even a breathalyzer on the wall just to check yourself before you leave ;) j/k. People like to ride here since it's right off the canal/bike path. We saw motorcycles, scooters, and bicycles parked out front. We were exploring PHX on the canal path doing a scooter ride on our ruckus and monkey. The happy hour is good prices and the food we tried was tasty. We split a Ruben with tater tots. We also bought a bag of the house made jerky. It had a nice spice and heat! If this place was in our neighborhood we would easily be regulars here but since we are in Tempe we will just come back when on our rides. Really fun place! read more

Went here one night last weekend. This is definitely a locals hang out. Brightly lit up with colorful lights and decorated with old license plates from all over. The bartender was friendly and attentive. Most importantly they had a sour among other tasty options for both food and beer. My boyfriend and I IPA. We decided to eat, I chose a cheeseburger. The bartender asked how I wanted my burger cooked, pink or no pink. I like mine between moo-ing and moaning, so pink was perfect. I must admit my bottom bread was a bit hard, but other than that it was good. My boyfriend also chose a burger and he had no complaints. The bar had 90's music trivia going on. Which looked fun and had many participants. Right after, they had karaoke. Everybody was having fun and we're thankful this little hangout is so close. The parking lot was full and cars were lined up along the street, but that didn't deter us any and we had a good time. read more

I have been a regular at this bar for a while, but after my most recent visit, I'm seriously reconsidering coming back. I asked the staff to put on the WNBA Finals -- a simple, reasonable request that others in the bar had also made. Instead of support or even basic decency, I was met with homophobic, and misogynistic comments from another patron -- loudly, and in front of staff, even though I had no prior interaction with this person. What made it worse was the complete silence from the bar staff. Not one person stepped in to shut it down or even acknowledge it. This kind of behavior should never be tolerated, especially in a place that claims to be welcoming to all. If a bar can't stand up for its LGBTQ+ patrons, especially when they're being harassed in plain view, it's not a safe space -- it's just another bar that picks and choo$e$ whose comfort matters. They ended up playing the game & many others chimed in/cheered throughout the game, but that man had ZERO repercussions. Shame on McKenzies #RoscoesForever read more

This place is crazy goodness. Stopped in for a quick bite on our way to The Rhthym Room. 1st time here! Let the year round Christmas lights bring you in, then check out the inside with a zillion TV's to watch any and all the sports, and a menu to match. We were there on a packed football Thursday so the service was a bit slow but the food and drinks were on point. Try the adult slushies! You wont regret! Try McKenzie's- it is a must stop! read more

My friends and I we're in the mood for cocktails and light bites to warm us up after viewing the Holiday Lights Parade that passed in front of this establishment, so we went in and were promptly seated even though the place was packed. The Tavern always looks festive both outside and inside, and the clientele was quite lively and animated. I ordered a peach martini, which was delicious, and also fried cheese curds which paired really well with the cocktail and even got the approval of my friend from Wisconsin who is pretty picky about cheese dishes. Overall a really good bar experience - good crowd, good food and drinks, good service, good prices. read more

This place is the best if you're looking for a good ol' casual good time. The service is attentive and top notch. They are always having some kind of fun event, Karaoke, musical bingo, live Karaoke, Trivia, etc. The music playing in the background always has me bouncing in my seat and enjoying myself. The food is good enough, and the drinks are acceptable. This is really about the atmosphere and the experience. I could come here day after day, but I have personal goals in life - and they don't include partying every night. But if I could, I would! Love McKenzie's!!! read more

Mike and Troy are amazing, I love this bar they are so respectful. Been coming here for years. Great drinks and food!

Look I'm all cool with Covid dining but when you call ahead and the 7 minutes it took for you to get there they sat your table is BS. Then showed outside when the not pleasant Midwestern waitress is cranky too is horrible. Was a usual spot on my list and now I think not so much. What the heck is the point of calling? And being showed outside and having robe on smokers patio is like the worst. Well it did get worse. We were sat at what became a community table. The waitress never placed our food order. She said the printer was out of paper so our order was missed. So 45 minutes for wings and burned fried pickles. So disappointed I spent $80 with a tip for this poor experience. Save your $ and go somewhere else unless during these times you like to sit with strangers. read more
