The Spurr Lounge - A Hidden Gem with Great Vibes…read more As someone who loves discovering local spots, The Spurr Lounge gave exactly what I didn't know I needed! From the moment I walked in, the staff and regulars made me feel right at home. Super friendly, no-pressure vibes, and great service all around. I sat in the back -- there was a slight smell in that area, which I hope gets addressed soon -- but honestly, it didn't take away from the overall experience. The energy in the lounge was upbeat and welcoming, and the ambiance felt like a cozy mix between dive bar comfort and lounge charm. Now let's talk about that margarita! Absolutely delicious and well-balanced -- not too sweet, not too strong, just right. The presentation of both the drink and food was on point (photo attached!). Everything was fresh and flavorful. Parking was a breeze -- located right out front and easily accessible. Looking forward to coming back -- this is the kind of spot that quickly becomes your go-to. Cheers, Spurr Lounge!

The area is kind of small for the pool tables, so you're kind of trying to navigate hitting the ball and hitting somebody in the gut, lol. The men's bathroom was horrible for a few months. It literally smelled like the sewage lines had broken and spilled into the whole bar and it reeked. The men and women had to use the same restroom for a while. But they got it fixed. They have darts, but it's out on the back patio and let's just say in Arizona that's a recipe for disaster. Because dust is so thick on the machines you can't even see the screen. I saw the bartender lady literally walked out the door screaming at a customer saying, "suck my.@&$!" and throwing up the middle finger! All in all, the drinks were cheap. The people are OK, except for one guy who was just naturally a jerk, but I digress. If you're looking for a true neighborhood, dive bar to grab a quick beer or a stiff drink on your way home, this is the place. But my suggestion, just pay cash and and never open a tab, always close your card with every transaction. I've never had any issues with overcharging, but apparently others have.

I was pleasantly surprised by the overall vibe of the lounge and enjoyed the light up dance floor and sounds and lights coming off the pinball machines. Drinks and beers were tasty and fairly priced.

Such a fun selection of Original House Recipe cocktails! I got something with ginger beer that was really refreshing and headed for the pinball machines ! Loved the little drink tables between the pinball tables ! Very convenient . Basically $1 a game regular old school quarters ! Which I like ? So many revival/retro arcades do the "by the hour unlimited play" which just blows the nostalgia and laid back vibe for me ? I loved playing at my own pace and enjoying a slice of Ziggy's exceptional pizza right in the middle of gameplay! The Ziggys staff located me while playing pinball the arcade , to deliver my white pizza slice , hilariously named "pretty fly " . So if you like pizza or pinball or even just a tasty cocktail perching upon a retro disco dance floor? Ziggys Magic Pizza has the easiest FREE PARKING anywhere in The area .

Another 5 star visit to Pigtails!…read more My husband and I came with my parents to celebrate their birthday Friday night and were wise to make this our first stop on our speakeasy tour of Phoenix! Jack was quick to greet and seat us while Eulalio expertly crafted some delicious mystery shots we requested that even came with a flaming garnish to be treated like birthday candles! We LOVED it!! We arrived during happy hour so we also ordered some oysters and shrimp to graze on, FANTASTIC! The oysters were good but the star of the show? The 6 HUGE shrimps and fresh cocktail sauce.. what a way to start the night! Absolutely fantastic, no notes and totally a must try when you're in the heart of this beautiful city!

I asked the bartender for her favorite drink and she said the "Black Magic Woman" which was a blackberry infused bourbon cocktail. It was great, and for my second drink I asked her the most unique drink on the menu and she said "Down The Rabbit Hole" which was tequila based and had carrot among other things and cream cheese foam. Who knew that was a thing? Also delicious. My friend and I were going to have one more cocktail but we decided to check out another bar simply for variety. But definitely a rad spot and I'd happily come back.

It's better than the original…read more Phoenix's first iteration of The Bar, an Arcadia mainstay, was known for its homage to The Big Lebowski with its art and abundant White Russians. And the sequel to it is a bit more grown up, refined, and fun. What's to love: Same great bar food with flavorful wings, scrumptious loaded fries, and sandwiches with locally-sourced bread. But this time, with lower lights, way more space, and sports quietly streaming into the lobby. And best of all--a decent patio! This is exactly the kind of place you'll want to go to watch the game while carrying a conversation with a small group. Where you drag your friends when it's midnight and you want a reliable late-night bite. Or when you want to go out, but not anywhere too ritzy or clubby. A ton of quality hang outs have come and gone through uptown--it's hard for stuff to survive. But I'm really hoping The Bar sticks around a while!

It was the perfect place to kick off our gay bar bar-hop since it was much more low-key compared to the other spots. The music was so good, the bartender was nice, and the dancer was AMAZINGGGG. We were pretty much the only people there but she was giving us a full show. There was a DJ + a large space to dance, as well as a decent sized outdoor patio. I think it probably gets a little busier as the night goes on, but we still had a lot of fun!

The STAFF HERE IS JUDGMENTAL AS FUCK. I just lost a ton of weight over the last year and am very tall, I came in here super cute with my followers. I was trying to have fun while being RESPECTFUL TOWARDS THOSE AROUND ME. I did NOT receive the same treatment at all. They couldn't take ANY of my cards like chime debit or PayPal, also don't have any electronic type pay at all. FYI Kindness is free maybe don't BE the HATE WE ALL see in the world. WE ARE A RAINBOW COMMUNITY FOR A REASON. All I was trying to do was find a SAFE PLACE to chill and you FUCKED THAT UP WITH YOUR JUDGEMENT (and eye rolls). That's on you, especially when I tried to have conversations and treat you with love and kindness but all I got was NEGATIVITY. That doesn't EVER create a conducive environment for LGBTQ+ humans. So CHANGE. BECOME BETTER. Our community deserves it.
