It definitely has the best dive bar charm that I know and love, akin to a 1980s Midwestern basement. There's live music / events weekly and TVs carrying a variety of live sports. And of course, a really small kitchen that slings some of the best wings in town. The drinks aren't too bad either. You're not gonna fork out a lot of $$ here which means you're getting good bang for the buck. Topped with friendly staff there's not really any bad time at the Drummer!

I ordered the ham eggs Benedict while my company ordered the Eggs Any Style which included bacon, breakfast potatoes, and sourdough toast. We both enjoyed a Bloody Mary. The Benedict was lovely in presentation and taste but the portion was not enough to be filling. I would recommend adding a side of breakfast potatoes to round out the dish. My counterpart throughly enjoyed his meal with the note that the side breakfast potatoes were perhaps a little too crunchy. Overall, this place is a vibe and definitely a cool spot to bring someone visiting from out of town. Service was quick and friendly, they were serving a large conference of folks with no impact to service.

You order at the counter, and they do ask for a tip, but after the lack of service we received, I'd say it's best not to leave a tip in advanced since you don't know what service you will get. My personal opinion, bring cash if you want to tip. We received our food, and truly did not get checked on once. I had to get up to ask for a drink refill. Again, the restaurant was not busy and there was plenty of staff. The place itself is cool and I do plan to come back to give it another try. Hopefully it will be a better experience.

I feel like a good bar needs exceptional food to keep you there. The ranch is probably house made, but in my opinion, it's not very good. Really good ranch is something I look for in a sports bar. The burgers were mid - could have been much better. Seemed like a frozen patty. Queso was okay.. Genuinely only sharing in hopes it improves. Maybe I'm just too much of a foodie. Definitely will be back for drinks and vibe.

Pride Month is coming to an end and I'd be remiss to not mention this amazing LGBTQ+ and women…read moreowned sports bar here in The Melrose District of Phoenix. Title 9 Sports Grill is Phoenix's first sports bar dedicated to women's athletics. It features 22 screens, a "Trophy Room" honoring local athletes, and a menu prioritizing women-owned breweries. Co-founded by former athletes Audrey Corley and Kat Moore, it also serves drinks named after iconic players. The Concept: Named after the landmark 1972 civil rights legislation (Title IX), the bar's mission is to elevate the visibility and celebrate the achievements of female athletes. The Vibe: The interior operates almost like a mini-museum, featuring historic photos with QR codes for background information and an entry wall plastered with donated medals and trophies from women in the Valley. The interior color scheme that subtly reflects the lesbian pride flag. The Drinks: Their beers on tap, wines, and spirits are heavily sourced from women-owned businesses and breweries, such as Phoenix's own Greenwood Brewing. I definitely recommend the Greenwood Hazy IPA and the Maher Mule (a play on the Moscow mule). TVs & Broadcasting: While women's games (like the WNBA, women's soccer, and softball) take priority, the bar is inclusive and will play men's games upon request, provided no major women's events are live.

I first came across Don Woods' Say When reading a Yelp article listing out the best rooftops in…read moreeach state. Don Woods was Arizona's pick. For quite a few months, I had it on my list to visit. I finally made things happen on a Wednesday evening for a drink. Located on the roof (of course) of a boutique hotel, I find free parking in the hotel's parking lot. While it was a busy parking lot, I was able to find a spot. Unfortunately, my night consisted of a comedy of errors. Ambiance (3/5): When you think best rooftop in the state, you're thinking scenic and peaceful views. Don Woods' certainly has that, though I've seen better in Phoenix. You can see the mountains in the background, but that's about it. The hotel is located on a busy street, where you'll often hear the noise of cars buzzing by or the train choo-chooing. Did I just make up a word?! I imagine the best time to stop by is during sunset. The outdoor area is relatively narrow with seating for about 20-30 people. It's a mix of comfortable seats and tables/chairs. There's also a charming indoor area, where the bar is located, but I felt like I had to sit outside. The weather was perfect, too. Service (2.5/5): This is where the comedy of errors began. I was given a menu and some water and was left to peruse the menu. Before the waitress had returned, I had picked out an appetizer and a cocktail. I then discovered that their cook had quit the other week and as a result, no food was available. That's fine and all, but you've gotta give me a heads-up when giving me the menu. That way, I wouldn't have spent the time to look over the food menu and get my heart set on a particular dish. On a better note, they have free WiFi. And service was overall friendly and pretty efficient. Food (N/A): While I was unable to order some food, on most nights, they have a small menu of small plates. More of a snack type of spot then a full meal type of establishment. Drinks (3/5): Don Woods is know for its cocktails and they have a list of 10 or so craft cocktails. Plus, beer, wine, and the typical options that you would find when there's a full bar. I feel like the bartender messed up the proportions on my cocktail as it was a bit rough. One drink and I was out. It seems like Don Woods' is experiencing some turnover which is leading to some mishaps. Combine that with some high expectations given the accolades they won, and it was the recipe for a disaster. I love a good rooftop bar, so I was hoping for more at Don Woods' Say When. Even the lobby of the hotel was experiencing issues. They sell popsicles in the lobby but the guy temporarily manning the front desk didn't know how to get their Square device working. Which ended up meaning no appetizers for me at Don Woods and no popsicles from the lobby. Two strikes. We live to fight another day.
