Let me start by saying I go to bars to see bands. I've seen several shows at this bar. It even has a surprisingly nice sound system for such a small room. It should be a perfect place to enjoy a live band. Instead, it is a PAINFUL DUNGEON where live music is an endurance test rather than a pleasure. The problem? One incompetent sound man and management too apathetic to notice. The dreadlock entangled caucasoid at the mixing board drives the house system at decibels appropriate for a large auditorium. His first mistake is pushing bass levels hard enough to bruise internal organs. Then to balance the lows, he cranks the mids and highs. At those levels, any vocal microphone would feedback in such a small room. His solution? Turn down the vocal mics! The result? It is impossible to hear the music over the sound of your ear bones being ground into dust. There are still occasionally audible vocal blips punctuated by piercing feedback squeals. It's a real shame as I've seen some truly exceptional bands there and they get to sound like they don't know what they're doing. Any monkey with a finger can push a slider and make it louder. It doesn't make you look cool. It doesn't increase the size of your genitals. It won't win you friends. It makes you an incompetent sound man and it drives away customers. As a reward for enduring the whole night, my ears rang for days. Oh, and if you want to get something from the bar, be prepared to wait until the staff gets done flirting with each other and discussing some guy's new hat, what Tiffany thinks of okra, whose turn it is to clean the ice bins next Wed and any other world shaking issues that supersede basic customer service. Eventually you will get your drink, generously garnished with I-don't-give-a-4uck. At the rate the bartenders serve drinks versus the rate your liver metabolizes alcohol, I don't believe it is within the realm of physiologically possibility to become intoxicated at this bar. By all rights, this should be the best bar in Tempe. It's close to ASU, has easy access to the light rail, good food, cheap drinks, live music, excellent sound system, etc... Even convenient porn next door if you're into that. But the abusively loud music levels and contemptuous attitude of the staff make this a place that my friends and I will continue to avoid with gusto. With more engaged management, this place could be as iconic as the old Long Wongs! read more

Without a doubt, one of the worst bar/venues that Tempe has had in a very long time. Not only does the under qualified staff ask to collect money each and every time you order ANY SINGLE ITEM, they put on an awful acoustic singer or horrible punk band with no proper mixing to drive you out of the main dining areas while you try to enjoy your meal. I had an issue with a credit card transaction that we knew was going to happen due to the struggling waitress that served our entire table... When we called to resolve our issue that is NOT just a temporary hold, but a double charge, we were told "we're busy, call back or something". Then we got a hold of the owner, who serves as the most professional, well-spoken, top level industry owners.... IF you were smoking a bag of meth to come to that conclusion. Instead of acting as a professional, he decided to use a weak/generic attempt to demean my friend by saying " are you calling about a $5 transaction? that doesn't break my bank account or bottom line". In addition to the various numbers of underage ASU students that drink with little to no issue when the front door man is not working, there is such a lack of industry standard in this establishment. The best thing about this place, is that you can easily drive as far away from the area as possible once you complete your experience - If you are less fortunate, the light rail is directly across the street, however, the owner of TT may let you know that he never has to use the light rail because $5 doesn't break his bank account. Total joke, but good for a comical experience of seeing what the ultimate low of industry standard is. Great clean bathrooms as well!!! JK JK JK JK OMGLOLZ! read more

Customer Service / Customer Gendertrification ! Personal gender verification is discriminatory. I don't come often but often enough being my second to third visit as to where just using the bathroom has become discriminating issues not once but twice now leading to the Harassment Complaint in my choice of relievement. Instead of asking, the assumption of being a Male was blankly vulgarity Expressed and inappropriate. As a paying customer that makes me extremely uncomfortable and that makes my visit LGBTQ UNFRIENDLY! WATCHING THE NIGHT STAFF ARRIVE AND ALMSOT HITTING ME IN THE PARKING LOT AND THEN RUNNING OVER THE CURB PARKING ALLOWS THE MENTAL SPACE TO REPORT THAT Something MAY BE DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS SHIFT. The harassment upon a minority with handicapped disabilities being accused of Mary Jane and he's simply smoking a black and mild. Two pole the same staff that ran over the curb and another that just got on shift . read more

This place is very transphobic! The owner has a Napoleon complex and thinks that anyone thats of lgbtq is a hooker or a sex worker! The guys a fool. Half his patrons shop next door at the porn shop! But this guy Is convinced that customers at modern world (pornshop next door) are causing issues, when In fact it's the drunk people that come over after they're done partying causing disturbances in and around the parking lot! Everytime I go into modern word they are making sure weirdos are not around! What I don't see is the bar owner doing anything, and you think he would bring that they share the same lot! Lol. Maybe he should help regulate instead of cry and complain about the homeless population! Cancel this bar! Especially any LGBTQ peeps! There is plenty of way better bars that don't discriminate at all! This bar has been in trouble before! Google it! So just stay away and head to mill Ave ! You'll have a better time I guarantee it ! read more

Apparently parking here is a crime. I was advised that my car would be towed. I didn't mean to visit this establishment bitch share a parking lot with another establishment and apparently I parked on the wrong side and even though the spaces aren't marked clearly and they don't say this is the property of this establishment. I was advise that they were told my car and when I asked will where can I park? Is it OK to park behind this place? The guy said what do you think when he said have a good night gentlemen And never answered my question and was treating me like shit I would not recommend this place if a customer service is this rude before you can go inside I can imagine what it's like if you go and stay away, be warned, don't know the dudes name, he wouldn't give it to me read more

I get it this place is a dive bar, but man if you're going here it's the low of lows. Hookers on Indian School are probably cleaner than this place. If you're worried about Covid you can build your immunity up here and hang with the local junkies in the parking lot. There's dive and then there's die and this bar makes you want to kill yourself. I'd be better off drinking at the local shelter. But if you're down on your luck and you hate your life come in I'm sure Bobby will make you feel welcomed when he's not wrangling up the local homeless drunk. read more

I give one star cause I've been to this bar many times. Every time I've been there I've enjoyed the company of Maddy and Sarah. They are both awesome people. They have been amazing bartenders. I would give them a much better score. Today I had the torture of an angry bitchy lady named Sherri. She was bad at her job, slow at her job, and rude at her job. The specifics of our horrible experience can be found by sitting next to me. Avoid this place like the plague when she is working. Never again will I spend a dollar under her watch. read more

I've been coming to this place for probably 15 years. I think it's awesome. It's got a cool vibe ages across the board just because something happens and the news media gives half the story . How come they're not talking about why that kid on the motorcycle was laying on the road after he hit a cars rear end. Did he have a license a motorcycle license? Did he have insurance? How come none of this is being released. This place is great see you tomorrow. read more

The bartender working on Feb 28th kicked my friends and I out for giving a homeless person $1. We where meeting about 10 people up there for happy hour. Why to lose a few $100s in sales over a $1. And just to be honest the homeless people where black and the bartender did call the couch roaches. If as an establishment has a problem with loitering you should take the steps to have them removed. Not kick someone out for giving another human a $1. read more

This place should be ashamed. It is a garbage dive bar with shitty food and a wide booze selection. The bouncers are racist and doingI everything they can to make sure unhoused people are unsafe there when they originally were a safe place for unhoused people. If you have any basic decency, you won't support this business. read more

I absolutely can't believe this place can stay open. Want unnecessarily hostile bartenders and management? Love transphobia, homophobia and altogether sh*t service? This is the place for you! Y'all need to completely restaff or just shut down lmao talkin some "we don't serve fags" ... wtf read more

They have HUNDREDS of under age drinkers there regularly, and THIS is how the owners talk to customers: "robert t. Business Owner Apr 6, 2023 We have never towed a vehicle in the 13 years we are here but the business on the corner that is not affiliated with us does. Real idiots!!" read more

I love this bar! I enjoy the food and all the live music. I highly recommend to stop in and grab a GREAT burger. I am a repeat customer and that will never change. Its down the street from my job and it's never disappointed me. Good job guys!! read more

Sherry is the rudest bartender I have ever encountered. Thanks Rob, hope she's worth it. Never coming back. And just so you know, most of the positive reviews are from the owner or other employees. Hi Rob. Fire that bitch, read more

Used to be a proper dive... now it's a teenage fest. They let asu kids in with fakes. Ruined a proper dive bar now you gotta deal with people who vape and have daddies money. read more

I am not a natzi, kkk, white supremacist but i am a trump supporter! Their poster on the wall said none of the above were not welcome so i left! Vote with your feet! read more
