Lil Misty is the best! In fact all but one of the bartenders are awesome. Big Misty is cool too. The food is questionable. The cook puts onions in everything whether you want them or not. Some people are allergic. read more

Simpleton's - The bar. - Sports Bars Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Very diveish. I have a sneaking suspicion that when it's busy the locals wouldn't be welcoming. I'll admit I may be wrong, but that's the vibe the place throws off. In any event, the food, albeit slow coming out, was not bad. read more

I tried to get a fresh burger. just ground beef, salt and pepper. the cook said they marinate their burgers and copped a huge attitude with the bartender after I asked her to ask him to make mine without marinaded beef. Unprofessional old dude. read more

Been a few times for Karaoke! Servers are nice bartenders are also nice. It's a great little dive bar if you ask me. Food it pretty good too. But I've only had wings and fries. read more

Simpleton's - Menu price change on daily specials - Sports Bars Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Came here for their Friday fish and chips deal. You could get grilled fish or battered. I was able to mix and match so I got 2 of each. The grilled was definitely better, but I wasn't all that impressed with the fish much other than the price. read more

The food is great, especially the fish on Friday. good place to watch your sports on many TVs.

ALWAYS GREAT FOOD, daily specials and Friday fish fry is spot on and Cheap Pabst can beer.

This is our favorite bar. The food is amazing, fresh, not frozen. Everything battered is their own fresh batter.. the drinks are always amazing and cheap. The servers and staff are all amazing. Very recommended. Come hang out with the best people read more

Before you walk into this place you know what you're getting into looking at the door. This joint is a good old hole in the wall bar that is not trying to impress you. Service wise barmaids are hit or miss. Some work hard and are nice while others are slow and rude. Food is...well what do you think? They have a shuffle board, darts and karaoke certain days. read more

Came back for seconds, but this time brought my mom and sister. Thursday is pork tenderloin sandwich day. Simply delicious at Simpleton's! read more

Had sliders for lunch one day, a bit greasy but I like them like that, more flavorful. I'm not crazy about eating in a bar but this was worth it. read more

Food prepared great, really better than a regular bar & grill. They have an excellent staff to serve you. The restaurant & bar is like a neighborhood bar; but much better, they also have Karaoke on 3 nights a week with the usual great and not so great of singers! I believe it's Thursday, Friday & Saturday. Check it out my friends! It's a friendly place to visit. And prices really are reasonable!! read more

Friendly neighborhood bar! Good wings and excellent service. We went for karaoke, the patrons greeted us as well as the staff. We will come visit next time we're in mesa. read more

My husband and I wanted to check this place out as we are looking for a fun place to do karaoke. It was really busy but we sat ourselves at a booth and only waited 5 minutes for someone to get us a menu. The bar could use an update as the furniture in general was dated and the seats of the booth are frayed. But the place looked clean. The waitress was really busy but we did get to order fairly quickly. I ordered a pina colada but they were out of mix. The waitress was apologetic and nice about it. My husband got a patron and I got a water. We didn't stay long and the waitress was quick about bringing us the check. No one was rude or mean to us, but it was not my scene and I felt somewhat out of place there. I think if you're looking for a hole-in-the-wall sports bar/kind of country vibe with lots of regulars, you'll like this place. We ended up at level up in downtown and had a great time. read more

I don't like they run their karaoke. New singers should be put at the bottom of the rotation not in between the patrons that were there before them. We come as a group and like to sing after each other so we can leave together. You come later you go to the bottom of the rotation. Will not go there until things change. We tip great and always have a good bar tab. Learn how to run a karaoke rotation. read more

Food and service was splendid. Tenderloin was outstanding. Very good coleslaw. Great service. Nice atmosphere.

This is our go to spot when it comes to decent priced happy hour and food. The last 4 times we have gone the wait time for the food is absurd. It shouldn't take 30+ minutes for tots to come out. We just went again tonight and after waiting 30 + minutes for our food to come out we asked how much longer it would be. The server checked just to say the cook hasn't even started on our food yet. We payed for drinks and left. read more

A Mesa staple! Come and enjoy great food, good service, and the best staff in Mesa. A great selection of liquor as well as beers on draft. And the bartenders who know their stuff. Great Fish Fry Friday's. Scratch made soups. Everything hand breaded. Karaoke on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. If you're looking for a place to wet your whistle and enjoy people watching, this is the place! read more

Great service. Excellent food. Bartenders know how to pour a beverage for sure. No jiggers. Well worth a visit

Still amazing ! Still a good time! And still the place to go! but this time we attempted karaoke . Had some appetizers and some drinks and enjoyed the night! I this bar! read more

My family and I have been coming here for years.. the people, the food and the whole place in general is 5 stars... I'm always here for karaoke. The OGs and myself are all super close tight knit. We're a family.. if you come here just know you're in good hands and someone always will have your back.. The food is bomb! The garlic Parmesan wings, crispy chicken salad and the mushroom Swiss burger are my go to favorites. The wings are coated so good and you always know when they are coming up because you can smell the tasty goodness, the crispy chicken salad is huge! I make multiple meals out of it. The chicken is breaded and cooked to order so your cheese on your salad melts on top.. Don't forget to add avocado The burger is huge! Always so juicy and can never go wrong with it. This place is home read more

Went for taco Tuesday. Food was lukewarm usually not. Did not have our usual waitress. Had Kristy. Appetizers came at the same time as the food. They were not hot either. Waitress came around as we were finishing and asked how was it. We told her pretty bad. She said they would remake them. A little bit late for that. I took some of my friends with me and they said that they would never go again. read more

I would avoid going to this bar if you are a younger woman. This older gentlemen 70-80 a regular went from complementing my gf and I to being disrespectful to me and very inappropriate and aggressive with her and wouldn't take the hint from her, me or his friend. we ended up leaving very abruptly after he wouldn't stop. The bar staff didn't care about his behavior. read more

So i used to live across the street and never even realized it was here! That was years ago. Last couple years ive stopped by a few times for karaoke on thursday nights and then saturdays. Thursday nights blow. The couple that run karaoke are a very much older couple that run it very old school like. They are older so they dont relate to the young crowd. Which means Thursday nights here are either dead, or looks like the set of a viagra commercial. If you're older (you probably dont know what yelp is, but if you do) this is the spot for you. Cheap drinks and old people!!! Saturday nights hosts is a lot younger and as a overall host pretty damn good. Huge flaw is if his friends are there, you will sing a song maybe once a hour. Between singing your songs you will watch his friends put on a concert and sing 2 or 3 to your 1. If youre not here for karaoke, it'll be a fun night. Food is bland (again, I think they cater to old people). No flavors, no seasoning, sometimes burnt, 99% BLAND. Do yourself a favor, eat before you come. Overall it is a chill dive bar with hit and miss fun atmosphere, but everyone is friendly. Beer is cold, so what else could you ask for. read more

Ice cold beer, great drinks, food, n service.Karaoke 3 nights a week. All the sports on all tvs n a GREAT neighborhood bar setting. read more

First time here. Wings were awesome! The workers friendly and fast. Def recommend for people to come in.

This has become my favorite spot to hang out after work. Cheap drinks, great wings, and friendly staff.

I just love this old Bar! It is such unassuming kind of bar, Karaoke is fun, the Staff and the people are very approachable! If you are looking for a perfect Bar, don't bother. These are human beings not afraid to be themselves. It is perfect for me. I had been feeling socially isolated for a long time, so this place was just what the Doctor ordered! I am glad to make this place my second home. I don't drink for the most part, I have to drive, so I drink water, sing Karaoke, mingle, and pay the Bar Tender $5. Pay the Karaoke host $5, they seem to be ok with this arrangement! read more

I go here every Thursday for karaoke with a couple of buddies. Great food and drinks. Awesome dart game set up. Highly recommend.

Nice bar, but service and drinks are inconsistent. You wait forever for service. Sometimes drinks are good, other times not. Ariel & Drake are nice and make decent drinks, but you have to be sitting at Bar. read more

This was my 1st time here, and even though I couldn't chill and eat/drink because of everything that is going on right now, I ordered take out on one of their daily specials which was 2 beers and 20 wings for $20 best deal ever!! The wings were amazing, even after my drive home!! The beer was a bonus to the wings!! I can't wait to try their fish fry the next time I order. Hopefully they will be open for full service soon.....would love to go to one of the karaoke nights with my girls!! The owner was so friendly and inviting can't wait to really get the vibes of the place!! read more

The waitresses and patrons are awesome, but bartenders are super unfriendly. Not worth going to when so many other places are around.

DO NOT ORDER THE GREEN CHILIE BURGER Horrible, I understand not getting my patty medium like asked at a sports bar BUT the green Chile's are canned so they are diced. So much was put on that my burger was mushy. I've never had a mushy burger before so YUCK. read more

Such a good local vibe! Karaoke on Saturday night. I recommend ordering the chefs special sauce for wings!! Literally the best wings I've ever had. If I lived here I would make this my regular spot. Server was a blessing to talk to, so kind and very helpful. read more
