    Great service, fun atmosphere and solid happy hour menu. Not too far from the parking garage, which made it even better! Would definitely come back again!

    This place is definitely gives hipster vibes,with dim lighting and eccentric decor! I enjoyed every visual detail of Uncommon. I went for a late happy hour, and the server was friendly and bubbly. She helped with drink choices and made recommendations. I didn't order any food as I went for drinks only. It's a casual place but good for any attire and it was Thursday so they also had a live performer which is nice to see and experience.

    Showed up to the Uncommon never before hearing about it, so I had 0 expectations. It was a Saturday night so it was a bit busy, nothing like OT scottsdale, but they have a couple pool tables and some arcade games in the back. It is a bit difficult to order drinks if you're at the pool tables or in the back with the games, but all the drinks were pretty typical, nothing crazy, but not bad. Our waitress was kind, but she was attending to a large birthday party so it was a bit difficult to find her to order drinks or close out a tab. The bar is quite over stimulating with lots of neon colors and lights, but definitely gives off the arcade vibe that they're going for.

    We stopped in here on a Sunday late afternoon and was greeted by Thea -- she was absolutely awesome! She showed us the game room, walked us through the menu, helped customize a couple drinks for us, and gave appetizer suggestions. Super friendly, bubbly, and fun to chat with -- definitely ask for her when you go (she's moving into bartending, though ). The food was so good! I had the citrus salad with grilled chicken -- perfectly cooked and full of flavor -- and my date had the Chicken Honey Hot Cluck sandwich... also amazing! The music and atmosphere were great, and the game room is such a fun bonus -- photo booth, pool table, darts, the works. All around, great vibe, great service, and great food. Can't wait to come back!

    Trying some drinks from the drink menu... this is just like a dirty Shirley temple

    Stopped in here on a random Monday to eat an early dinner with the fam. It was dead. There was only one other table and they were gone within 5 minutes of us sitting. The atmosphere is fun. The music is loud, something my kids complained about constantly. There are lots of games to play, but you do have to buy a play card and put the money on it. The food came out quick and was pretty good. We did order drinks from the special drink menu, which changes regularly. They were good tasting, but had no hint of alcohol in either one, even though they were supposed to be made with vodka. Little disappointing to pay so much for a drink and feel like you are drinking a Shirley temple. They do not have a big menu and there were not a lot of vegetarian options. Overall, it was an ok experience but I wouldn't go back.

    Reuben

    A group of us met here immediately post retirement and enjoyed it immensely. I had a Reuben with crinkle cut fries. It's a common dish executed perfectly. The marbled rye was bold and savory. The corned beef was hot, ever so crispy on the edges with a perfect amount of dressing. Delicious. The fries were lightly salted golden fried happiness. The bartender was quick to take orders, refill drinks and took care of us. Loved the place. We played pool and arcade games, all in all it was a great place to while away the afternoon. Will definitely return.

    Cool vibes, good music and plenty of screens to watch the games or play games. They cater to customers here!!

    First time at The Uncommon but it won't be the last! Ask for Thea she was fantastic-super welcoming and made several suggestions on the menu-- the Honey Hot Cluck with Kellogg Kornflake crusted fried chicken was spot on-even made a few custom drinks to accommodate our preferences. We also chose the Citrus Salad with chicken and it was a tasty treat. If you want a great meal with service like you are a long time local...come check out The Uncommon and try and get Thea as your service or she might be the bartender. You'll get top notch friendly service with a smile!

    Dallas and all the staff were amazing at this exciting Hidden gem in Chandler, Az! Took my kids and they had

    Cute seating.

    Arcade Game Fact: "The iconic game "Space Invaders" caused a coin shortage in Japan when it was released in 1978. Taito's hit incorporated relentless alien invasion gameplay, capturing players' imaginations and causing real-world coin shortages as enthusiasts flocked to arcades, making it an iconic moment in gaming history." ― bitvint.com The Uncommon is a restaurant, bar, arcade, and entertainment venue in downtown Chandler Arizona. We're talking games, live music, and a cherry limeade cocktail!? Yes! After having some beer and bites at another DT Chandler establishment, we popped in for some fun and games. While we didn't order any food, although the menu looks promising, we did order some drinks to sip on while perusing the selection of games. I chose a cherry limeade cocktail, which tasted mainly of like grenadine. I was hoping for a more balanced drink, but it was fine. It helped me with my basketball, darts, and skeeball game. I even won a tiny rubber duck! It's a great place to go if you're into playing arcade games. It's not the biggest selection but you'll still have fun!

    Uptown Burrito
    Emily H.

    Huge restaurant with arcade games and pool! There's also plentiful TVs to watch sports. I got the Uptown Burrito from the brunch menu and it was good, but needed some seasoning for the filet mignon. The meat was a bit chewy. The chipotle sauce that it comes with is okay, not to my tasting. It also comes with side potatoes as well and I chose the party potatoes which has melted cheese on it. The service was on point considering we had a huge party for brunch.

    Cool bathroom!

    Curiosity had me check the Uncommon out for lunch with some friends on Friday Jan 6, 2023. At 11:25 am we were greeted with a smile by a man who showed us around the establishment and then to our seats. A hello from across the room from the only other person around, the friendly bartender. Being the first patrons of the day, I was able to video the inside without any interference. Pong, shuffleboard, rod hockey and Pac-man were just some nostalgic games blinking waiting to be played. The lunch menu (that I couldn't locate online) consisted of three varieties of salads that are presented in bowls or "flatwiches." We ordered one of each variety -an Asian, a Caesar and a Southwest like flavor. The salad and chicken inside the Caesar and Southwest flatwiches were very tasty but we both left the outside (pita bread)/because they were dry, dry dry. Perhaps a bit more dressing would have helped. I'm told the Asian salad was good. The service was friendly and very attentive. During our 1 1/2 stay, the place had approximately five other tables come in for lunch. It would have been six parties but after they saw the limited menu, they went elsewhere. I would think this bar/restaurant/arcade would be hopping in the evenings for the full menu is available and the beverage menu is extensive. We had fun photos taken in front of the 1984 "16 Candles" movie poster. This place brings back 80's memories and has good music that creates a playful vibe! I can see myself coming back at night to play me some Pac-man!

Our server provided us with subpar service because she would not let me finish my statement, would leave me mid-sentence, would forget to check in our table, once I paid she left quickly and didn't give me a chance to request my receipt on her handheld card reader. I would return for the drinks, food and hope the service from the server would improve.

Nestled in historic downtown Chandler, in the narrow sliver of Boston Street, the speak-easy themed cocktail bar and restaurant is located inside the former home of the Chandler Arizonan, the city's original hometown newspaper since 1912. With exposed brick walls and rich wood finishes, the historic site provides an upscale, contemporary urban and industrial-chic setting. After easily finding parking in walking distance from the entrance, we arrived shortly before midnight of the 7th. They were closing soon, but we had enough time to order a round of craftly-made cocktails and beers to down quickly. It helps when your friend knows the bartender. Enter smiley face emoji here. THE BRICKYARD DOWNTOWN is credited for the first place that I ever tried a CLOVER CLUB, a pink, frothy cocktail with fruity, citrusy, velvety qualities. I was instantly tickled pink, literally, by the nostalgic feel of the elegant concoction, topped with artfully designed egg white foam and served in a vintage-style champagne glass. What a beauty of a drink with a touch of class and sophistication! Almost made me want to throw on a flapper dress and dance the Charleston...until I realized the need to balance from the powerful punch in the serious drink. Fancy, stiff cocktails served at THE BRICKYARD DOWNTWON fo shizz. No complaints about that here! It's been a while since I visited Arizona. Maybe it's time to return. If/when I do, I will mos def drop by THE BRICKYARD DOWNTOWN again!
