Love the ambiance, decor and service. I'm always looking for a nice lounge and this place definitely made a good impression. I will be hosting a Karaoke event soon and got a chance to see the rooms. Super cool and roomy. I can't wait. read more

The Forum Lounge - Hallway to Karaoke sweets - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Visited the Forum Lounge for the first time with my husband and sister in law, last night. We went in for dinner & to watch Jeff Burkett perform live. We made a reservation through Open Table. There is no additional cost to reserve a table, which is great since most other similar spots either had a cover fee or you had to buy tickets for the live performance. Upon arrival, our table was ready right when we showed up. The service was excellent throughout the night considering how busy it was in there. Our waitress was so patient, especially considering how long we took to make a decision on what we were going to order. The lighting was very nice, the music was great. We spent about 3 hours here enjoying the atmosphere. The food was very good, and prices were low! The drinks (which we did not partake in) were pricey, but seemed to have a great selection. There was a full bar & a handful of "signature" drinks to choose from. We ended up keeping it simple & getting the Wagyu Burger & Fries. I upgraded to onion rings. It took a little while to get our food, but we were in no rush. The burgers were cooked exactly how we wanted them, and tasted fresh. The onion rings and fries were delicious. The lounge also has another restaurant called "Vybe" attached, with similar food offerings, and a DJ instead of a live band. It's a bit quieter in that area. They also have karaoke suites for rent, which is a really cool option for people who are having a party. A waitress was kind enough to give us a tour of all these areas within the restaurant, and give us all the details about what packages are offered. All in all, we had such a nice night out and will definitely be back in the future. read more

We had a good time here. This establishment is recently open and we wanted to hear from live music. The spot is not too far off the 202. Location is deep in a commercial neighborhood of Chandler. Parking was easy. We were seated close to the stage. Since the place is new we, they were giving baby tours. Inside they are attached to a sports bar. There are also several karaoke rooms available for rent. Near the stage is a VIP room that is open and can be rented out. For food we tried a range of things: wings, sushi, and onion rings. Overall good bar food. We also grabbed a few drinks for the table. Drinks moderately priced. Live music was good. They had a nice band playing from 6pm to 9pm. Overall we enjoyed our evening. If lived in the valley would maybe host a special occasion here in one of the karaoke rooms. read more

We enjoyed our time at The Forum! There's a variety of seating including plush couches and high top tables. There's even a separate room towards the back right of the facility. We chose the high top tables to the left of the stage but we had a great view of the artists. Painted Soul was performing and they were fantastic! It's a daughter father Duo and the daughter can really sing. Dad was impressive too playing both the keyboard and the bass guitar. They performed hits from Chaka Khan to Mary j Blige and even some Spanish songs thrown in between. Everyone was grooving there was even a group dancing in front of the stage. The clientele there were so fun. Lots of laughs and socializing all around. We had good service we ordered several drinks as well as the pepperoni flatbread. The drinks were pretty good and we really enjoyed the flatbread. We wound up taking half of it home. Our server wished us a happy anniversary several times which was very sweet. The drinks were a little pricey but all in all it was a really good night and we would definitely stop by here again when we're in the area! read more

It was a really fun experience! The live music was fantastic, the food was great, prices were reasonable, and the whole vibe with the neon lighting was a lot of fun. Felt like we were in Vegas for the night. read more

So let's start with the good: The bar is nicely decorated and staffed with friendly and conversational team members. The live music was fabulous! Now the "what it's not"; a restaurant. The food was "ok" for bar food. The restaurant is dimly lit and the music very loud (cause it's live....duh). Drinks were also just "ok" for $13 a piece. So, if you're going to get a well drink, enjoy some music and dance, then this is a fun place to be!!! read more

This lounge is closed Vybe is open it's mostly an event center but does have a bar. No food available unless having a private event.

This was my first time at The Forum and its vibe is so swanky and relaxing! We went to see our favorite band Painted Soul (they play Wednesdays, Thursdays & Sundays 6-9 pm) AMAZING! Our servers Maddison and Charity were outstanding, they checked on us the perfect amount and the food was delicious, the portion so big and the happy hour prices yes ! Also the manager Jessica came to our table and introduced herself and checked on us too. Maddison and Charity gave me a tour of everything The Forum has to offer because I'm considering having my 60th birthday party there! I will definitely be back read more

The Forum Lounge - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I went on a Friday evening with a small group of friends. The parking was adequate. The food was good and service was good. The menu posted is an old menu. The menu that they now have is more limited. I had the beef sliders with fries. I would recommend. I was hoping to dance however the artist performing did not play music I would dance to. I was disappointed. The audience/crowd for a Friday evening was slim. Lots of empty chairs. Disappointing. It appears that The Forum is now striving for a place where you have dinner and there is music playing in the background. When you are done eating, you leave. There are now tables in front of the stage where there used to be space to dance. Due to all of the changes, I am not sure if I will be back. read more

I went here on a Wednesday night to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. It was a great jazz type singer with her band. She was fantastic!I looked at the photos online and it's quite a large place but tonight Just the one main bar was open for this particular band. There was about 30 women and we had several tables reserved and it also had a cute little lounge area with couches in it that was also reserved for our group. I'm assuming the weekend night life at this place is quite a bit more than it was this weeknight by all the bands activities they advertise. But this evening was just perfect for what we needed! Will definitely go back to check out some of the other events they hold! read more

Ok, my friend love this place and invited me back and I had to come here to update my review because this second time around was night and day. The staff and especially bartenders were so helpful and on it! I didn't ever have to wait for any service and they were so warm and welcoming. The crowd on a Thursday night was more chill too than the weekend when I was last here. It was not only chill but other customers were super friendly too and we made some new friends lol! So happy to have had a positive experience because it's so close to home too so I hope to be back. :) read more

The vibes of the room were amazing and I loved the drinks and live performance. There was only a couple areas they were lacking. They took about 18 minutes for a server to ask us "did anyone help you yet?" Which indicated that the tables there do not have assigned servers. Although, the server we had was very kind, generous and very helpful when we spilt our drink by accident. I would have given 2 stars but because of her, I added a star. A couple in front of us was waiting so long, they just got up and left. Also ordered a medium well steak and it came back rare. Overall, it has a lot of potential for something really great! read more

Whenever we took the road from the inside to reach Walmar we have seen this place. We finally went on a Friday night. This place had live music and people were dancing. The vibe was really good. The crowd is decent and the ambiance is pretty neat. The only downside is this place is hard to find for anyone who hasn't explored the area or local to the area. We ordered couple drinks and starters. The drinks are pretty good, the cocktail specially well-made, the lounge and the bar area is attached, the lounge closes at 11, but the bar is open till 1 AM and we can take our drinks. They have happy hours and brunches on weekends. Totally looking forward to hanging out here. Definitely love that it's local and so close. read more

We've gone to the Forum multiple time. The ambiance is nice, food is Ok but the cocktails are excellent. The staff are friendly and prompt to meet your needs. I really want this place to be successful and last because it's rare to have a venue that offers live music from 5-9. It's the perfect spot for people who want to have a great cocktail and listen to live music. South Phoenix people ... please support this place, it gives us Day Party vibes. Something that we typically only see in Scottsdale or Tempe. read more

Walked into sports bar on 09/17/25 at 515 pm and asked if there was a happy hour To which the bartender responded "only for drinks". We were apprehensive about ordering food because we were there on the past Saturday and our food took an hour. So we decided to go elsewhere. When we got our bill no happy hour drinks showed up on the tab to which we asked isn't it happy hour and she said happy hour is only from 3-5 right now. Don't you think that should've been mentioned when we initially asked? what the heck was she thinking? read more

Solid venue for entertainment, sports, and great food. Stoped in for the first time tonight and had a great time with my wife and college friends. The live band was amazing and the veggie California rolls were great. Oh! They have great drinks there as well. Looking forward to going back next weekend. read more

I was invited to a birthday party and I'm so happy that I attended because I love the Vybe Forum Lounge. The staff was amazing and my dinner was great. I had the chicken Marsala with creamy mashed potatoes. It was delicious. On a side note they had live music. And it also has private karaoke studios. I'm certainly going back to try their karaoke! read more

We visited the Forum Lounge last night for the first time and it was great! We had some drinks and very much enjoyed the live band (Absolute 90's)! The server was very attentive and the best part is this fun establishment is less than 3 miles from our house! read more

First time visiting, it was a Saturday night with live music which was nice! It's tucked back in a industrial area but easy to find. Inside is large and can accommodate small or large parties with a mix high top and low top tables. Service was good, server gave good recommendations and was friendly. The food itself was good, and prices were standard. We had sushi options and a flatbread along with cocktails and beer! read more

Okay this is my second time visiting this establishment. Initially I was invited to this place by a friend for their karaoke and open mic night on Tuesday. The lounge is kinda of tucked away and around commercial buildings. It was easy to find with the guidance of my GPS, but it isn't around a lot of foot traffic. Inside the space is open, with dim lighting and several tables. Our waitress was friendly and provided great recommendations. On my second visit I did order their ahi tuna and crab poke pole. It was fully of flavor and spice. I absolutely loved it! For drinks I have tried their haiku and thyme for a drink, which had a great presentation and taste. Overall, love the concept of this place and the variety of live music available throughout the week. I plan to visit again. read more

Good food, great service. The sliders and the tenders are worth. Lexi is the bomb! Check this place out. read more

This place was real fun had a blast had table service the first time. But do not expect everything to be the same when u decide to go again. I called ahead the week before Valentine's for a gal get together they said no need to reserve table. Got there at 7 pm packed and the other half closed again to a business function. Turned away! Gotta make your money but would be nice if you post on your site what bands playing and if other side closed and inform employees. Total bummer. Food is good but very small portions drinks are on point. read more

I made a reservation a week ago for Valentine's Day. In my reservation I asked for a low table because the high chairs hurt my legs. When we get there, we were sat at the last table in the back at a high table. I told the hostess I made a request for a low table as she said we're overbooked and can't move anything around. I said what was the point of putting in that request. She said I don't know but I can't do anything. She said I'll see what I can do. Her "see what I can do" was going back outside to host. Are never came back. So we left. I'm pretty disappointed with this experience. Being overbooked should not be the patrons issue when. read more

I cohosted an event there for the cost of $300, plus a cart of lemonade an iced tea that they "require" you to purchase for another $300. At the beginning of the event the large screen TV in the event room caught on fire and I had to grab a fire extinguisher to extinguish it. The event was disrupted and had to wait for the fire department. I lost attendees that couldn't stay because the time would go way over and it was a disaster. The Foundry refused to issue a refund or even a discount. I will never be back and certainly never do an event there read more

Not a place if you're looking for dinner it's so,so bar food chicken tenders, sliders that only have cheese on them and a little spread. Street tacos they did have live music no one who we asked that worked there knew when it started.everyone that worked there was new. The atmosphere was quite nice. We were hoping for a nice dinner before some nice music and drinks read more

The music was incredible and the atmosphere was great as well. The drinks are a little light and the food was just mediocre. I will come back just for the vibe but truly was disappointed with the food. read more

Food, service and ambiance was the perfect combination for a great time with friends. We celebrated our friends birthday and the memories will last a lifetime! read more

Lexi was the best server!!! Our food was amazing. Great venue. Great people. Great food. I will be back for sure. The band was also great. read more

I came here to scout the place out for future events. This is an outing I'd bring my friends to, the range for VIP tables are affordable. Inside and out you can tell there was a lot that went into this establishment. read more

Came here for a work party. Probably not the place for a work party. The cocktails were good and the food was decent. Sushi, wings, and onion rings. I was hungry and all of these sounded good. Over all, it was great. Kind of dead for a Friday night, but the dj was good and the atmosphere was pleasant. Need to come back on a normal night to get a better feel. read more

15.00 for a single shot jack and coke 10.00 for a 12 oz modelo. Avoid this place. The prices are ridiculous. read more

This is one of my favorite places in Chandler. I love the ambience and they have a great HH menu. The sushi rolls are very good and a great value. They have live music most nights and on Thursday nights they have talent night which is pretty entertaining. Very nice place for a date or just to hang out with friends. read more

Love the Forum ! Outstanding service , food is delicious. Amazing vibe with live music. Painted Soul band just makes this place more special. You will not be disappointed. Thank you again to our server , general manager and the event planner for making my night so special for my surprise engagement.

Great place, and the addition of the new bar back Lamya raised the vibe even more! She is so funny and kind. Will definitely be back to see her! read more

The live music on Thursday nights, Painted Soul is what drew me in. Small dance floor area but it works. Cool lounge atmosphere. Friendly staff. It's nice to go out during the week and still get up for work the next day. The music is 6pm-9pm. A lot of regulars so it's nice. Very welcoming :) read more

the server was the best I've had in years! She brought us water without us asking and made honest suggestions about the menu. Haven't got my bill yet, so can't say I love the prices. But the band, Jukebox Heroes, is great, if you love 70s and 80s rocknroll! led, journey, AC/DC! read more

We had a delicious meal at the new Vybe restaurant and we were hoping to move over to the Forum lounge after the meal to catch a fun band with some drinks but the atmosphere has changed. I'm hoping that they will bring back some of the previous fun bands even if they need to require a minimum check or drink order to be seated. read more
