So I was kinda hating on this place before I had even been there. And if up to me, I probably wouldn't have tried it yet, but my honey wanted to ride our bikes there one night since it's literally a few minutes bike ride from our house. It's a divey sports bar and I give it 4 stars due to the friendly bartender and karaoke. At first it was pretty dead when we arrived on a Saturday night, but it picked up considerably during our time there and ended up being a lively evening of karaoke for me. I didn't try the food so I can't speak to it, but I'd come back if the mood strikes. read more

We tried a variety of items here, and unfortunately, it was a pretty mixed bag. Starting with the positives, the potato skins were easily the top item of the night--absolutely delicious. The cheese curds were also great. However, the rest of the food fell short. We ordered the chicken wings with the house dry rub; while the seasoning itself had a good flavor, the skin was disappointingly rubbery, and the wings were way too greasy. The chicken tenders were just "meh," and the fries came out both undercooked and under-seasoned. As for the service, it was fine and we had no issues there, but given the execution of the food, we don't feel the need to go back. read more

Went on Friday night after drinking a bit, great service really good fried shrimp and fried mushrooms. Chicken strips were pretty good too. Drinks generously poured and served with a smile. Went again on Sunday night after a movie. Sober. Ordered a medium rare burger, was cooked on point and had a huge patty and nicely melted cheddar. Tomatoes were juicy and red and the onions and pickles crisp. Very delicious. Got the shrimp again which they hooked up with a bunch of shrimp and my partner got a chicken quesadilla. We enjoyed our food very much and great service again even with a different server! It's an all wood furnished old school bar which now days holds down that nostalgia that's hard to find. I came here probably a decade ago and I remember it being pretty much the same! Don't change! Will definitely come back next time we are in town. read more

Looks unassuming from the outside, inside is total maximalist sports dive bar type vibe. Parking is chill in a private lot shared with some other businesses. Both patrons and staff seem very kind. They offer actual food, snacks, and a good selection of drinks here. Priced pretty reasonably, especially drinks. Chill place to come and just have a conversation. Lemon drop (cocktail) - really pleasant, comes with sugar rim and lemon slice. You can still taste the alcohol but it's not overbearing. Jalapeno poppers - you'd expect the cream cheese to be a bit much, but these were fried nicely and it's pretty good. Not super spicy either. Comes warm, like they'd been in the fryer 30 seconds ago. Loaded skins - tastes better when you're drunk I'd imagine. These were pretty solid however. Comes with a watery ranch. Chicken tenders - surprisingly good classic. If anything, I'd come back and order this again. Chicken was seasoned well. Fries were seasoned well. Everything came hot and fresh. You don't need the dipping ranch it comes with, but if you're feeling saucy that's fine too. Really down to earth place, even if you're not that into sports. Appetizers were solid. Would definitely return. read more

Both my glass and pitcher were dirty. This place really needs a good deep cleaning.. Bartender wasn't attentive or nice.

Fun, cozy location with fabulous food and drinks. Friendly staff and great atmosphere.

If you're looking for an inexpensive dive bar to go for a bite with friends or coworkers this place is a good contender. They have your typical greasy bar food with many options to choose from. They have good happy hour specials and daily specials everyday for less than $12. Onion rings were perfectly crispy and not soggy. Their wings were crunchy, fried and lathered in sauce. Apparently their burgers and wings are the most popular item so if you're not sure what to order pick either of those menu items. Enjoy!! read more

They seem to think theyr doing you a favor for letting you come there. Serve food no silverware and disappear. Never ask if you need anything or how everything is. I for one will never go back but maybe if you're a regular it's different read more

The Woodshed II - Beef & Cheese Melt Sandwich - Sports Bars Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

We have been recommended to come here for a very long time.We finally made it. The drinks were good and somewhat cheap. The food, on the other hand was not so good. The cook that was back There was vaping eating himself and cooking other people's food. I was a little disgusted about that. The place is obviously very old and could use some updates. read more

The first time we went in, they allowed us in but the second time we went in they said we needed to show ID in order to be in there. It doesn't make sense considering both times we were ordering to-go read more

It started off OK but then it went downhill. The wings were fine and onion rings/fries basket were ice cold. I told the bartender, and she said she would get a new batch, only to find out they were out of onion rings after waiting again so I ordered tater tots. After abit, I asked the bartender to just give us our check since the server never came around but the one time and I told her the service was bad since no one checked on us while waiting but the one time and wanting another beverage. After waiting to pay, I told the bartender how bad it was and not wanting anything in return, she was rude, crude and downright nasty. Even the table near where I told her about it said the bad service continues! Obviously, she didn't care about our experience and not even an apology but a nasty attitude. I see others have the same opinion. read more

Use to love this place... me and my wife would go here for the wing and burger specials.The beer I usually get on draft has been flat and not great and same as the soda. I'd suggest maybe getting something in can or bottle because draft beer isn't it. The last few times we been there the food has gone way down!! They are always doing something different and it hasn't been great. The service from the waitresses is very hit and miss. Sometimes you'll get a waitress who is on top of her game or you'll get the one who seems like she doesn't want to be there. They do have a variety of Sports games on most of the time if not the TouchTunes jukebox is rocking the house. Sad to say this place was once a great spot but I will no longer be returning. read more

Food is ok, but cooks don't wear hair nets,beard nets which is disgusting. Short girl bartender seems stuck up, sat down at booth we make eye contact and she continues to b.s. with customers happened on numerous times read more

Good service, food and drinks for a decent price. Everyday is a different special and experience with the occasional trivia game nights. Gift cards are offered up to $10 bucks. Definitely will share a story of two with one of the regulars. All genuine lovely, friendly, sweet people. Staff and patrons. I've had no issues within the handful of times I've been in here. Just a group of misfits cultivating in the mass quantities of alcohol and good spirits. Stop by. Tip your bartenders and don't be a fool. read more

We took it upon ourselves to try their daily specials and came in everyday one week for food. It's all delicious, we love the Tuesday special Shed Burger, fries and a beer for $9. The fish n chips are also bomb, can't forget the mashed potatoes and honestly it's all good. It's a dive bar but we love the atmosphere, the people, servers and it's our local go to. read more

I would not recommend service here I understand the wings are good but the bartender was so rude, he literally slammed his hand on the counter to get my attention and asked for my ID even though I was just going to order food like I did last time and he told me I can't sit there if I'm getting food, even though this isn't my first time in woodshed I've been here before and no one has told me anything about that, and after moving he was talking about me to other people which isn't professional at all and I ended up leaving with my fiancée and my friend because we didn't want that Kind of service not only that he stared at me like he hated me even though I was being nice, was it because I'm a women or cause I looked young I've been told that by many people even though I'm over 18, all I wanted was food instead I got rudeness and uncomfortable read more

Trash service!!!!!! Was waiting at the bar for a food order then was approached by the bartender, he said we couldn't sit at the bar because we weren't getting drinks then proceeded to talk trash about us. Made us so mad that we just left without ordering anything!! Definitely don't recommend coming!!!!........I.D read more

This is your local neighborhood bar with all your people from the immediate area. I met some nice people however if you're a female I wouldn't suggest wearing a skirt or dress unless you're the type that likes to be groped by a dirty old man and yes it's true so I left in a hurry. The drinks are cheap and if you're a pot smoker this is definitely the place to come. I didn't have a look at their menu or food so I honestly can't rate it. read more

We went there after a Cubs Spring training game and the bar, bartender Nicole kicked me out as soon as we walked in saying something about I kicked her out of my bar so im not welcome in hers!? At 1st I didn't even know who she was or why then after we left I was told she is dating my ex. Way to be professional. 1st when my ex went to a bar I was working at I didn't kick him out, I saw him and didn't even see her then HE LEFT ON HIS OWN, I said nothing because I AM a professional and don't let personal drama effect where I work. So we went down the street to a diffent place, had a great time, spent our money and had 0 drama. read more

I have to say this is the type of bar where you get to the know the regulars very well. It is a classic dive and that by no means is a bad thing. If you stop in say hi to your fellow Arizonans/regulars and they will love you back ! Honestly, I had a great time and think it's a perfect place to just kick back forget about the world for awhile and watch some games without spending an arm and a leg ! read more

One of my favorite dive bars when visiting my Mesa friends. I have been to the original Woodshed multiple times and can say this one has more going on! Daily Food & Drink Specials, Two Game rooms including Two Billiard Tables, Pinball, Golden Tee, and a Jukebox, and multiple televisions to watch the big game. Make sure you get their Wings or Steak Plate when dining in. If you are only taking in liquid calories, ask for their craft beer selection (they have tons to chose from but keep them in the back). I wouldn't say this is my favorite place to hit in the Valley but definitely a fun one. Good for groups, good for a date, good for people watching, and definitely good for entertainment! If you're in the neighborhood, give them a try. I guarantee you will not be let down. read more

Excellent hospitality and attentive service from the bartender this AM. Relaxed vibe, yet on point.

Was hot and uncomfortable I they could at least fix ac they get money...............Chicken Wing

Food was great, still some of the best chicken wings in Phoenix in my opinion. Great daily specials and has the feel of a classic sports bar. read more

I remember the first time I came to this place and that was over 10 years ago as I was.... wait never mind I don't want to reveal my age!!! The one thing they were known for in the valley were the chicken wings & flavors and when I first came in I was blown away by the flavor profiles and size of the wings. I like the location because its a true local bar that is personal when you keep coming. With so many visits, I've always felt like I wasn't just another person but I had some personal connection with the place. They always have great specials throughout the week and I find it to be a cool spot for late-night. Drinks are poured the old-fashioned way... by hand so expect to get a nice strong drink but they got plenty of draft beers on tap and beer specials that are bound to attract. Tonight we came for a couple of cocktails and I was cravin the wings and fries basket. Server & wings were good but apparently we got the itty bitty chicken committee and the wings in a basket were very small. We did have a few that were the right size but it just didn't balance out hence why the 3-Star review. Other than that, enjoy the atmosphere as it's the ideal place to go to watch Sunday football or any other sporting event. read more

It's a bar. Not a fancy one. Their beers are pedestrian, but man does the food scratch a particular itch. It's bar food, sure, but that kind of stuff that's laced with crack or something. It's special in a weirdly nostalgic way. The staff are attentive. I grabbed a seat on a Friday night and had three servers check on me for drinks inside of 5 minutes. This is a fantastic Make-a-Wish, so far! read more

Okay, I'll admit to being a big big dive bar fan. "The Shed" is basically the model that you can compare others to. The food is great. I haven't had everything on the menu because there's a huge selection. Usually having that large a menu is a detriment but they've got this nailed and obviously refined over the years. The same story for drinks, nice pours, great beer selection, and they even have their specialty cocktails. The service is FANTASTIC! Big shout out to Nicole and all the service staff, always friendly and a great job. The atmosphere is classic and the spots memorabilia is super cool. This place must be on your list! read more

So I came her for my last guilty pleasure meal of the year. There reuben sandwich to be exact on sourdough bread with sweet potato frys for my side. My boy friend got the sourdough cheese burger with added bacon and regular frys with three sides of ranch to go. It Was a busy night. Took about 25mins for the food to come out not bad. When it did the ranch was missing. The server came back out with only two. There pretty good sized so I didint mind that I was still missing one. One I got home I immediately tore into my Reuben sandwich. I could tell something was off ....... There was little to no sauerkraut/ Thousand Island dressing........ Come on now that's the most important part of a Reuben sandwich. Very dissaponting. Kinda made the sandwitch dry. One the bright side the meat was very tender and had explosive flavors that complemented the lightly grilled sour dough bread. This part what saved the sandwich. My boy friends cheese burger was missing the bacon and side condiments- ketchup, mustard, mayo but still was very yumi. Oooo and there ranch is home made supper good. read more
