    I really like how they have upgraded this restaurant! The food is so much better and it's such a good place to go to to watch a game! The espresso martinis and Arcadia burger were so good! Definitely the burger you want if you're craving one!

    Hanging in the outside patio sports actual

    One of the best sports bar experiences I've had in a long time. The place is huge -- crazy high ceilings, a giant two sided bar and a separate outdoor-ish covered patio with a totally different (cozier) vibe --- but somehow still feels welcoming and chill. Maybe it was the great service we got at the bar and the really good happy hour specials we stuffed our faces with while watching Monday Night Football. The place feels a bit higher level than your average sports bar, food-wise: our margherita pizza came out just the way we like it, tavern style; a nicely sauced, not overly cheesy and very thin crust round pizza cut into small squares. It was just the ticket to go with our bottle of wine. There are dozens of TV screens big and small scattered around the place to watch games on, and the massive outside patio sports actual comfy booths and tables to sit at -- not just lawn furniture. Our bartender delivered super service all the way through. We will be back.

    Fried pickles

    We stopped in for Monday night football and had a nice experience. There really isn't a bad place to sit if you want to watch the games. TV's are everywhere inside and out. Unfortunately with the weather, we weren't able to sit outside as most of the TV's were covered due to the rain but it looks like they have a great patio. I didn't catch our server's name but she was excellent. Constantly checked on us and never left us waiting. We ordered the fried pickles to start. They were crispy and delicious. They come with a side of ranch. Next we ordered The Arcadian Pizza which is thin crust with provolone & mozzarella, red sauce, pepperoni, sausage, onion. A nice crispy crust and flavorful. We also ordered the Baby Back ribs. Slow roasted baby back ribs, choice of side. We ordered the Mac & cheese. Super flavorful ribs and fall off the bone. Drinks were also prepared well and we felt prices were reasonable. We will definitely be back to try the smash burgers.

    Cornbread appetizer
    Michelle C.

    I recently went to dinner here on a Monday night. We had a very friendly server. She was very knowledgeable about the food and drink menus and was very attentive. We had the cornbread as a starter. It was warm, flavorful, and came with honey and an apple butter. Delicious! We also had the fish n chips and Arcadia smash burger. They were very tasty and the fries had good seasoning. The atmosphere was brighter abd decor was better than previous restaurant in this location. It's a great place to catch a game as well. We will be back.

    Inside, multiple tvs for games
    Amy V.

    Great space to watch football. Great attentive staff, great food options and large draft beer selection. Vegan and Veg options. Brunch on the weekends. Reasonability priced. From original Arcadia tavern.

    Taco Pizza...how is it this good?
    Dustin H.

    Probably the best place to watch football or any sports in the valley. Food was awesome, 65 inch TV'S everywhere you look, everything a sports bar should be and more. Shout out to Paulina for awesome down to earth service! This place makes other similar places look sad lol. Definitely coming back, looking forward to coming back!

    Taco pizza + margarita
    Tiffanie L.

    The only place in phoenix I can find something close to Midwest taco pizza! My dog & I love the patio during non summer months & we love that they host weekly trivia. We've become regulars & we love the staff, the food & drinks & the ambiance. Everyone is nice, you get great service even on busy game days & I've never had anything taste bad. Definitely feels like the neighborhood bar.

    OBSESSED!! This is the sports bar that Arcadia needed! I love the dog friendly patio, all the tvs for football! The smash burgers and pizza are so good! Service is always friendly and attentive! Love this new spot!

    Cornbread
    Desiree D.

    If you remember this location back when it was a Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers, you should definitely give the Original Arcadia Tavern a try. They've kept that fun, good sports bar and restaurant vibe, but with a great refresh. We went for dinner and were able to get a table right away. Our server was good and attentive all night, and the food was spot-on: we started with the cornbread appetizer, which was tasty and moist, and my steak tips were cooked perfectly medium rare. It's a reliable, solid place for dinner and catching a game

    Steak tips: marinated filet tips, spicy mustard sauce, signature sauce
    Joy T.

    Here for UFC fight. Very packed but fun atmosphere. Choice of shareable was very tasty! Assorted beers. Bartenders are super sweet amd personable. Definitely a great place to drink and watch a game. Happy this has returned back in my neighborhood. Downside, parking is limited so either lyft, valet or park across the street.

    This replaced a Cold Beers and Cheeseburgers and it seems very similar on the inside but the food was a lot better. There are still plenty of TVs to watch the game from any seat and a lot of drinks to choose from. We started with the skillet cornbread and it was really delicious. With the apple butter and honey it was basically a dessert and a lot of cornbread for 2 people. I got a steak salad and really enjoyed it. The steak was cooked nicely and not chewy like some steak salads tend to be and all the ingredients made it seem more like a steak bowl than just a salad. The service here was also better and faster than it was for the prior place that was here. I'll definitely be back.

Earlier this year I stopped by for happy hour at Indian School with a friend that ended with me taking a pizza home. Then more recently I came for a "Sunday supper" with friends that also ended with me taking some pizza home. I absolutely love the bar decor and how they've separated the store from the bar. They have a host but you can walk-in to belly up, or make reservations if the # of attendees is around 10. All the staff are super friendly on both sides of the bar (retail and restaurant)! They (like any self-respecting craft beer bar) use Untappd to keep their draft list publicized. And both times I've gone it has been a vey solid list, complemented by some tasty cocktails. But the star of the show is the plain 8.3 cheese pizza with solid undercarriage (I don't like wobbly / flimsy pizza either) that has the right amount of char.

I won't add to my previous review regarding the food, as it is still just as fantastic. And while the old location had its charm (mainly that it was more intimate and a bit quieter), the new location is overall an immense improvement. First of all, it is much larger, modern, and very tastefully decorated without losing as much of the intimacy as they could keep. For instance, the decor on the walls makes you feel like you are somewhat at home, with photos of the Spinato family and other tasteful finishes. Everything is comfortable without being too casual or formal. It's definitely more open concept now, and bar-lovers will appreciate the full bar, as the old location only had a tiny one. The covered patio area is much nicer, and with an eastern exposure, it should bake in the sun less than the old place's western exposure for most of their operating hours. We were seated at a half-booth, and the restaurant was very crowded because it was their first Friday night at this location. Nonetheless, we arrived early enough to be seated without a wait. I will say that the food took a very long time to arrive--40 minutes or more--but I'm chalking that up to the crowd and growing pains at the new location. Our server recognized us, welcomed us to the new place, and was as friendly as usual, though he didn't have much time for chat-chat with how busy they were. Very much looking forward to more visits to Spinato's at this fabulous new location!

    Lil Capo Pizzeria 5.0/5 The Closest Thing to New York…read morePizza I've Found in Arizona Growing up in Upstate New York, I admittedly have high standards when it comes to pizza. After moving to Arizona in 2007, I've spent years searching for a slice that genuinely reminds me of home. While there are plenty of decent pizza spots throughout the Valley, very few capture that authentic New York style. Lil Capo Pizzeria absolutely does! Ironically, I first discovered Lil Capo after an Arizona Cardinals game. Like many people, I wasn't interested in paying stadium prices for mediocre food, so I jumped on Yelp looking for something nearby. Lil Capo had outstanding reviews, so we decided to give it a try. I'm glad we did because it's now my benchmark for New York-style pizza in Arizona. The first thing that stood out was the crust. This is exactly what a New York slice should be--thin, crispy on the bottom, slightly chewy inside, sturdy enough to fold, and never overloaded with grease. So many places think "New York style" simply means making a large slice. Lil Capo understands it's really about the balance of crust, sauce, cheese, and texture. Every bite reminded me why I miss pizza back east. The sauce has just the right amount of sweetness and acidity, the cheese is perfectly proportioned, and everything tastes fresh without trying to reinvent what already works. Sometimes simplicity executed well is the hardest thing to accomplish. Pizza: 5/5 Service was equally impressive. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and efficient. After selecting our slices, they quickly reheated them to perfection and had them on our table within minutes. It's exactly what you want from a neighborhood pizzeria--fast, relaxed, and genuinely hospitable. Service: 5/5 I also appreciated the atmosphere. Lil Capo isn't trying to be flashy or trendy. Instead, it has that classic neighborhood pizzeria feel where the focus stays exactly where it should--on making outstanding pizza. It's casual, comfortable, family-friendly, and somewhere you could easily become a regular. The pricing is another pleasant surprise. Considering the quality of the pizza and the generous slice sizes, I found everything to be very fairly priced. Overall Finding authentic New York-style pizza in Arizona has been surprisingly difficult over the years, but Lil Capo delivers exactly what I've been searching for. Authentic New York-style crust Excellent sauce-to-cheese ratio Minimal grease Friendly, efficient service Fair prices Comfortable neighborhood atmosphere I've eaten pizza throughout New York my entire life, and Lil Capo remains the closest I've found to the real thing anywhere in Arizona. Whenever I'm on the west side of the Valley--or heading to or from a Cardinals game--I find myself looking for an excuse to stop in. Next time, I'm skipping the slices and ordering an entire pie. If you're a fellow New Yorker living in Arizona and craving a slice that tastes like home, Lil Capo should be at the top of your list.

    World-class pizza in AZ!…read more I have traveled the world and had many Pizzas, and this is hands-down one of the best pizza places I've ever experienced. Tucked away in the Westgate Mall, it's a compact, modern little spot that likely gets buzzing during the lunch hour. The service is excellent--you just order at the counter and they bring the pizza out to you. If you're in the area, do not pass this up. We'll absolutely be returning on our next trip to Arizona!
