love this place. Beer selection is freaking awesome. food off the grill is amazeballs. A hidden Gem of Apache Jct. God Bless

Awesome patio, food, service, and prices. Loved it and would go back again if in the area.

Wow! What a great find!! I finished training a group today and a fellow trainer and I were looking for a place to have dinner before we left the area for the airport. We went on to Yelp and thought this would possibly be good. It exceeded my expectations. I wish I lived in the area to visit more frequently! The burger was spectacular!!!!! read more

Just had a big birthday dinner here. First time visit. Megan, our server, was fantastic and the food was delicious. Craft beer selection was unbelievable for Apache Junction. We were outdoors and the space was wonderful. Smoked wings were particularly good. There were eight of us and every meal was great. Will definitely be back! read more

We love this place, been there 3 times and planning to go back. Great beer selection though they do run out of some flavors every now and again. Sit at the bar outside and watch the chefs at work. They are very personable and willing to talk to you about the food or anything else. The stuffed pasilla pepper is out of this world as is the sweet potato. No windows inside so it is a little dark but after all, it is a bar. The help is nice and responsive but sometimes the place seems understaffed and the wait staff is really moving. read more

Finally, a place in Apache Junction for the NON bud, coors and country music crowd. I love the place, its divey enough to be comfortable and the selection of beer is great! This is just what AJ needed. The music is great and there is $4 drafts on Tuesday... so grab the gang and head on over, if you are looking for a place with a nice neighborhood feel, this is it! read more

This place has a great rotating selection of beers on tap. This isn't your typical bar food. I've never had a bad meal and I've visited dozens of times. The live music is always good, barkeeps and servers are friendly, and the beer selection is varied. You don't have to drive to Gilbert, Mesa, or Scottsdale, this little place is a good time right in AJ. read more

They had a good drink menu, very very cool environment, very friendly staff, but the food was very bad! My salmon was cold and dry, chips were soggy, and sweet potato was cold. read more

Love this place! Great food. Amazing beer selection and the staff is awesome! The only good place to eat in Apache Junction anymore.

We visited the Handlebar Pub & Grill on a Saturday afternoon. The wait staff was extremely nice and took their time to review the specials with us. We ordered the brisket sandwich and the reuben. Both were the best we ever had. We also had the blue cheese potato salad. Again, the best potato salad we had ever tasted. We drank a few beers then decided to order the nachos. They were huge and waaay too much food for 2 people but we plowed through it. The nachos were good but not the best we've ever had. Our server was named Lisa and she was very attentive and extremely patient with our beer requests. We sat inside because it was September in AZ. Lol! But the outdoor area is definitely going to get some traffic from us once the weather cools off. All in all, if you like good food, nice service and an amazing beer selection, you have to check out the Handlebar Pub & Grill. I have high confidence that you will be impressed. Also, while we were there, we overheard another couple talking about how far they drove for such a tasty hamburger and that they would be coming back. Thank you Lisa and April for your great service. Hope to see you all again real soon. read more

2 stars due to service. Our waitress was pitiful. Brought us beer that's it. Others brought out food which by the way was cold which I'm sure was due to horrible waitress letting food sit. Someone else was nice enough to bring the cold food but guess what, no silverware. Had to flag down someone, which I believe was owner. By then the food was ice cold. To make up for it the owner did remake meal and it was hot and delicious. Waitress never did ask how food was. We probably won't be back because of horrible service. Maybe we will see. The food was flavorful with great quality. But serving a cold plate was not acceptable. Waitress did finally ask how meal was when check delivered. Was not that busy on a Saturday night at 830. So that is not excuse. Training on staff needs to be done. read more

Didn't even make it on the list to be seated. Host was rude and other guy working the front. They clearly didn't want us to eat there with our 1 year old. read more

We were invited to the Handlebar by some friends. My wife and I each had a burger and some beer. The waiter was great, the service was amazing, and the burgers were very, very good. The owner was walking around asking his customers how their experience was going. He was kind and truly seemed interested in the feedback provided. The patio is great and the inside has a lot of character. We will be back for sure! read more

Our first time to Handlebar Pub and Grill was fabulous. Lazy Saturday afternoon and burgers were perfectly cooked and the smoky flavor of the grill was evident. Our side was acorn squash with maple syrup and pecans. Who knew such delishness was hidden in Apache Junction. Going back for ribs and salmon next. read more

Doing a little Rd.trip and yelped another restaurant... but the iou s looked better...!!! And soo far this place is rockin.. great. Beers.. and love the outside. Patio...what a jewel in AJ... would have never imagined.... Sorry AJ.. Lol Amazing menu...with a enlightened ingredients....Sorry don't mean to be a hater but the Burger should encompasses the bun....just putting it out Dear...Was told they r waiting on the lunch buns...so we have a winner here peeps....Lol; ))))) read more

Awesome! Steak was cooked perfectly and the potato hash was amazing! The selection of micro brews on tap is downright impressive.

Ok we have returned a couple of times lately. Although not snowbird season we have been given great service and the food well some of the best burgers you can get in A.J. Love that we can get good craft beers. Hope to stay a fan through the Winter Season!! OH and if you are a parent and you have older kids, If there is room at the bar they will ask others to scoot down to make room for your family to sit together. Our teens loved they were able to sit at the bar and eat dinner and have soft drinks with us as all the dining tables were full and it was too hot that evening to sit outside for us. read more

This is an amazing little spot with big flavored foods and great beer. Everything appears to be grilled outside, and I've never eaten anything which wasn't perfectly cooked. The beer selection is awesome...and the live music is always good. read more

First time going their, as their kitchen was opened late, food was good and I will be going back to see what other stuff that got going on; the cs was great and well, maybe a little off about the way that hey seemed to be giving as the air in the room. Still, it was late and about to close, for they have a great look and feel, ypu really feel at a bar that likes to showcase, well, maybe go and see how they got style all thir own. read more

I'm not sure how to rate this place. We tried on several occassions to go but they never seem to be open or they weren't serving food so we started calling first and we caught them open and serving food! So we rushed over as we only live a few miles away. The place is much nicer than the old Cactus Club but it is still very small. It has about 6 tables at the most and 7 or 8 bar stools. The cook was grilling out back and it smell wonderful! THe tables were all full except one...perfect. We ordered 1 Budwiser ( we are not beer drinkers) 1 wine and 1 water. We got them about 10 minutes later. We ordered 1 pulled pork special, 1 green chili burger and 1 peppercorn burger. It's been 25 minutes, drinks are gone and we are still sitting without food. If the waitered hadn't been so funny I would have been upset. He was the bright side to the wait. Finally we got the food about 35 minutes later. The waiter was very apologetic. THe menu says everything is from local growers and ranchers so maybe they had to go round it up. All the burgers are 12 dollars and the pulled pork was 12 dollars, you get either a spring mix salad or bleu cheese potato salad. There are no condiments on the table, no salt or pepper. The pulled pork was wonderful! But it said it came with a wonderful sounding cole slaw that I never got. That's ok it was great without it. Nice bark yet tender and not something that sat in a crock pot all day. Left a wonderful smoky after taste. Best I've ever had. My son liked the Green Chili burger, my husband said there was nothing that made the peppercorn burger worth 12 bucks and he said he didn't taste any peppercorns at all. So 3 sandwiches 2 drinks (domestic beer Moscato wine) 52 dollars. Ok ...so they need to get it together and be open when they say they are. They need to be able to cook and serve more than 1 table at a time. (their grill is the size of one you might find in a back yard.) If they are gonna charge those prices for a burger it better be a damn good one, served in a timely manner and with a decent side dish. ANd they need to leave the pulled pork alone, it's excellent. I understand their beer collection is fantastic, but we aren't beer drinker so I'll just take their word. I'd have to say this place is a mixture of yuppie vs. dive bar vs fine dining vs. Burger King read more

This place is as good as it get's ! Just what this area needs. Cozy inside, excellent ice cold craft beer on tap and wine. The food is outstanding and always cooked perfectly. Very friendly owner and staff. Very clean inside too. And you can order a "flight" (4) 5 ounce beers so you can try many different styles at once. Bring your friends, great live music, this place is the real deal ! read more

Great food. Amazing beer and wine selection. Awesome atmosphere. What more could ya ask for?

Really loved the hospitality of the server, they were quick, attentive and funny! I really loved the food. We were a table of 10 and I really think they did a great job making sure we had what we needed. One thing I might add was that most of our burgers were not cooked as requested. Many of us got rare instead of medium and well done instead of medium rare. I ordered steak very rare but it was medium well. It was so good nonetheless! The ambience outside is amazing for a fall dinner with your loved ones and had a nice country feel to it. I would definitely recommend to whomever comes out to Apache junction! read more

In town postrace for the Lost Dutchman Marathon. Was pleasantly greeted by Hopslam on tap! This is THE best craft beer bar in Apache junction and the surrounding area. Not just great tap beers but exceptional pub fare. I enjoyed a generous portion of wild caught salmon and blue cheese potato salad. Service was beyond exceptional. A beer had just run out before my arrival and our server actually phoned around town on his own to find it for me!! Highly recommended by a yelper with high standards!! read more

The local beer selection is ON POINT! But the brisket sandwich was too fatty for my taste and the grilled zucchini was sad. Great beer though. Nice atmosphere. Maybe I picked the wrong entrée.... read more

We went for our first time and can't say one bad thing . Food was beyond awesome drinks great and staff was awesome Jasmine was our waitress she was great friendly at attentive . You must try this place you won't be disappointed. read more

Food is unique and delicious. If you are looking for fried food, it's not on the menu. Only smoked and grill. Good rotating beer taps both local and regional breweries. Sometimes service is slow. read more

OK beer. No pub/bar food. Good if you are having a meal, not if you just want something light with a beer.

Friends, I'll make it very simple: great food, great brews, and great atmosphere. You won't be disappointed!!

The food is delicious & the awesome atmosphere is eclectic. We enjoyed our lunch and especially appreciated the great customer service we received. read more

So good! Great beer, great food, great people! Must try. They always keep some favorites around and add new taps consistently. Aprx 25 on tap to choose from plus several bottle options and great wine. Excellent brisket and burgers with great sides to choose from; French fries are not an option... Try the feta asparagus instead. read more

Sick little bar in AJ. Top notch service paired with phenomenal food. Everyone from the bartender to the management including the cook himself had an attitude that was awesome. Simply stated. Great food, great staff. Owner operated and it shows! read more

Terrific food, prices are a good value and a giant selection of Craft Beer. My jerk pork sandwich was outstanding and had a wide choice of innovative side dishes. read more

Awesome place, quaint, nice people. Good rotating beer list. Very good food. Brisket sandwich awesome. Menu not one you would expect in a bar/pub setting. read more

We came back! We had heard how improved it was with the new ownership, so we decided to try it again. Great food and great music! The staff was fantastic! and very very attentive! Huge difference! We tried their seasonal Octoberfest menu they had and LOVED the German Pizza! We also had the ribs which were very good. Although we didn't sit on the new patio sitting area, it looked very nice and look forward to trying it now that the weather is cooling off! Great selections of food and beers!! read more

Unexpected Gem in AJ. Totally looks like a biker bar from the outside but a cozy little restaurant on the inside. Lunch was delicious with a good menu to choose from. read more

Was told this place was addictive. They didn't lie! Can't wait to take everyone we know there. Great food/music, and loved the patio atmosphere. read more
