I went to this bar expecting a normal night out and instead left feeling disrespected and uncomfortable. From the moment I arrived, the staff's attitude toward me was noticeably different. I was ignored, spoken to rudely, and treated as if I didn't belong there. Meanwhile, other customers were treated politely. The contrast in treatment was impossible to ignore and made the situation feel discriminatory and racist. No explanation was given, no effort was made to correct the behavior, and the lack of professionalism was shocking. A bar should be a place where everyone feels welcome, and this was the complete opposite. I would not return and strongly caution others--especially people of color--to think twice before supporting this business. read more

Great dive bar for good drinks and good times with great people. Went in as a solo traveler from out of town and made friends quick over games of pool and good conversation. All the regulars here know and greet eachother like family and it makes for a great atmosphere. Special thanks to Nathan, Manny, Jose, Dom and Lu who all made a traveler feel right at home here. Wish I got the bartender's name too but she was sweet and attentive. Will definitely come back when visiting in the future. Thank you wanderin for the good times! read more

Wanderin - Great pool tables and homey ambiance - Dive Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Came here to meet up with two of my favorite guys ever! I guess they've been here before, but I have never. I'm a Bar brat, grew up in the bars with my mom, she was a single mom and bartender. I was really hoping for a jukebox! They had like a digital one on the wall, but you know I was hoping for like old school jukebox. The vibe was totally cool though, and the bartender was amazing! Felicia was her name! Pretty and attentive. read more

Joyce is an amazing and very attentive bartender. Sherry too...always there and we always have a wonderful time~

I love it here. I am one of their vendors as the merchant representative. I enjoy stopping in occasionally and seeing the staff.

Awesome place to go. Friendly bartenders and patrons are so nice. if you want to relax and have a drink, this is definitely the place to go.

Probably one of the worst dive bars in town, if you want to deal with cranky old people, diseases, Nd watered down drinks this is your place. Full of old farts who envy you just because you're young not even to mention the way they service people read more

Great little bar. Drinks are super affordable and the staff super friendly. A very reasonable pour too!!!

Ordered two drinks... my brother JUST TURNED 21 and just to let ANYONE know if you come here after 10 days without a side ways ID she said she WONT accept it. Mind you my brother turned 21.. FEB 11 2020... didn't feel welcoming or sincere here. State of AZ says after 1 month of your birth date they DO NOT accept IDs this BAR TENDER said a week after and it was HER choice SMFH unprofessional!! She had an attitude for no reason. read more

Wanderin - Water and AMF - Dive Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This place is fantastic, great music and good people. Lorraine is a delight and knows how to keep the patrons happy.

Joyce and the other bartenders are great. Good selection of liquor and beer. Friendly patrons. Despite being a dive bar they can make complicated drinks as well. read more

I can't even begin to explain being an attractive woman in a bar it's always a challenge when all you want to do is get away from the world and have a drink and I found my piece of mind with JOYCE. she truly is my guardian angel. If at any time EVER someone approaches me she tells them off and I just feel comfortable because of this woman. If you ever need to get away and escape from life for a sec come in on Joyce's shift and you'll feel just like at home. I promise you. Even if you come in on a shift she's not working which is fairly unlikely it is rated the best dive bar in Phoenix two years in a row! Keep up the good work #wanderin read more

Great dice bar with a juke box everyone loves, primo people watching snd friendly bartenders. Parking is ample and prices are right.

Now this is a true dive. I believe the sign out front says that they open at 6a.m. And no, they don't open that early to serve you scrambled eggs and coffee ;) Ladies, smart to walk with sharp side of your keys out when walking in the parking lot. Better to wait for your friend (or date but that would be a very unromantic date) in the bar rather than sitting outside Wanderin. The name 'Wanderin' fits.... That is what it feels most of the patrons did ... literally 'wander in' to the bar. Quite random... older crowd... heavy drinkers... That is not to say very friendly... had a great debate on the correct recipe for a Moscow Mule with a gentleman down the bar. No one won, since neither of us had cool phones with internet capabilities. This is not the place to order a cosmopolitan, wear patent leather pumps or sport that pseudo Louis Vuitton purse :) I 100% agree with the other reviewer.. this is a MUST visit on any dive bar crawl. read more

First time back in two years because I moved to Bell Road, and wow do I miss this place! Good AC on a hot summer day! The beer was cold and 5 people came up to me within 10 minutes to say hello. Great prices and long time customers who always make you feel welcome. Oh, the owner frequently serves good free food! read more

True local neighborhood dive bar, however not a place where the regulars stare you down and want you to leave. They are really quite friendly. The bartender was attentive and friendly and actually quite the eye candy. Granted its in a shader area, but if you're already in the area and need cheap booze, Good times! read more

Wanderin - Welcome to the wanderin! Transport yourself back to 1980. - Dive Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The best bar in Phoenix Arizona !! You can be yourself and do what you want! Cool people cool place!

Good cheap drinks from bartenders Mo and Tonya. I could do without the new Saturday night karaoke host...he was more like a trasheoke host.

Haven't been here and 3 1/2 years cause I was out of state! No not prison....Lol. THE energy is to die for! If you don't WANNA have fun...don't come here! Joyce is the bomb diggity doggy dog!! read more

Yeah, this place is indeed a shithole. I guess it fits the neighborhood. Stopped by here recently on a trip to Phoenix for Spring Training and this place was by our hotel. I got a small pitcher of bud light and a healthy sized shot of Patron (we're talking a half filled rocks glass, not a shot glass) for under $10. Theres a few TVs and a few pool tables. Unfortunately, they also had Karaoke going on. I hate Karaoke and it seems to be the thing to do in Phoenix. Anyways, as shitty as this place is, it has good prices and its been my experience that places like this usually provide unique experiences and colorful people to talk to,. worth a look. read more

Good dive bar, Serve good drinks.... Yes, even mixed drinks. Pool tables are decent. There is a wide variety of bartenders. I will be back.... Maybe in a few months. read more

We come here for karaoke mostly. The bartenders are always amazing. Me and my steady fella have had such a friendly welcome into this neighborhood bar. The karaoke host Saturday nights is especially great. She will look up songs for you and is so nice and efficient. Friday night karaoke is a close second. My only wish is for better drafts on tap! You have my money either way ;-) read more

If your looking for a dive bar with friendly people, excellent drinks and an atmosphere to just have fun, come here. The owner is fantastic and you'll find yourself coming back and making some good friends. read more

Dive, divy, diviest bar in Phoenix I think, and so awesome for it. Staff is friendly and no-nonsense, so keeps the trouble down, Cheap drinks, and a fun time if you're into that sorta thing. I highly recommend a visit if youre looking for a divy spot to have an ICY cold beer. By far, the coldest beer ive ever had, but not frozen or slushy. The glass alone will make you beg for the Arizona Summer. Even the owner is friendly, which seems common sense but we all know isn't always the case. If anything changes, I'll update the review, because I am definitely coming back here again. read more

The owner Quinton is a real down to earth person. He is an advocate of eat, drink and have fun. The day bartender Joyce is the most hard working bartender in the valley. She is a no nonsense true blue collar employee. She keeps everyone in line if need be and is quick to pour you your favorite beverage. The beer is cold and the crowd is diverse. One of the best dive bars in the district. read more

I have gone to this true dive bar many times, but will not be back! The Friday night bartender was great but she quit! The Karaoke host Thom, who was awesome, had all the best songs and was nice is gone now too! The ceiling is falling off in chunks in the back room around the evap cooler, the bathroom floor is often wet and smells funky. The only food available is a couple things in a vending machine and Tony ' s frozen pizza which they microwave for you. I have seen bar fights where police have been called and a few other things I would rather not have seen! Let me just say that without the great karaoke and good bartender, there is absolutely no reason to go! You probably couldn't find it, the tree in front of the sign keeps it pretty hidden! If I could give it a 1/2 star or none I would! read more
