The food is OK, but over priced, crowd is 20's to 40's and semi-biker-ish, the service is all right, but the staff seams shady. I am not sure what is going on with the people who work there but we have a friend that lives nearby and I have (reluctantly) been to Azools several times. Once the bartender picked up my money then claimed he hadn't, asking me for more money, a few minutes later saying he had forgotten he had already picked it up. Another time the owner followed us out to the parking lot claiming we had not paid, then walked away before my friend could even respond. Going back in to clear things up the owner pretended like she had no idea what we were talking about. Another time we had placed an order, in a very short time something completely different was placed in front of us and the waitress very quickly exclaimed "Whats wrong? THIS is what you ordered!". Her response was very immediate and sounded rehearsed. I think it might have been a miss-order from one of her other tables she was trying to guilt us into paying for. We only go there because there are little other options in the area. Some times the service is average but we have are so many such incidents it makes me think there is something shady going on. My friend has said other local merchants have other such odd stories about the owner and restaurant. Normally I don't eat at chain restaurants but when I visit I prefer the Chilles next door by default. read more

This community at I-17 and Carefree does not have a lot of choices. People that live nearby, people going to the lake or bikers riding the loop come here to have a drink, a little bar food or bet on the ponies. I had a couple of sliders that were enjoyable and a black and tan in a 16oz cold mug. I love the new Golden Tee golf game, lots of fun. The gals are nice. read more

The only thing bad about this place is that they don't have fried zucchini on the menu as an appetizer. This was my second time here and the place is very chill. The atmosphere is layed back, the staff is great and when we do try the food, I'll let you know on that. Give this corner neighborhood bar a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

Personally, I've experienced better service. Lauren and Brad are great bartenders, but anytime I go in at night or weekends, I seem to end up with the owner. She and that guy she always tends to bartend with are just no good. Their service skills are far from par and the owner is just rude. When I walk into a bar on a Friday or Saturday night and I see the owner bartending, all that I can think of is how greedy that person must be to take away the best nights from their employees. Food: Overpriced and not that good. It has definitely gone downhill since my first time coming in. Flavorless. Drinks: I don't know what it is with their mixed drinks, but they always tasted so funny. Almost sour. As if their soda lines haven't been cleaned in a while. Bottled beer-sits upside down in water that doesn't drain. I don't know about you, but I find that quite disgusting. Water should have to drain out of bin, especially so the metal tops on a bottle doesn't rust. Service: Depending on who you have, can be really great or absolutely terrible. read more

Great cold beers and service! Very underrated food as well, you have to try the cheese curds!

Just wasn't for me... Cowboys everywhere... the food was not good. I suspect it's a great spot if you live in the neighborhood and want a place to meet friends. If you are alone forget it. I didn't finish my food, had it wrapped up and went somewhere else to eat. read more

This is my first review of this place. First and best, I can walk here. Not helpful for anybody but Tramonto people, but there are lots of you. I had 2 tall icy beers and a chicken ceasar salad. Getting the beers was nice, easy and quick, even though the Torpedo IPA I ordered was on tap at "the back bar". I'm assuming way down by the pool tables, electronic dart board, and juke box is another bar. The main bar is circular and invites conversation with neighboring drinkers. At 3ish in the afternoon it is mostly guys, but wtf, it's not like I came here to hook up...thats what the internet is for. People seem happy here. It's not a "sitting in the dark, mumbling to yourself" place. There's a fanned and misted outside area, maybe for after Mr sun goes down. Lots of sports flags hanging, but no noticeable Raiders flag...I may downgrade them for that. read more

Had not been here in a couple years...it was marginal at best then. We had a group of 8 and sat night at 7...your not going to get in anywhere. We went here and the staff was great-food was good (it's bar food-your not going to get 5 star food or prices). I was surprised-in a good way. Place is aesthetically bad-kind of cut up...but the people are very friendly read more

I may be a few months too late and writing this review but the facts of what happened still matter I had been drinking with a friend of mine and we buy each other drinks all the time never have been a problem and one night I was unable to tip the waitress that was working spoke with her told her and told her I would get her next time she was completely OK with it then I had asked to get a water and because of their $10 minimum on any card my friend had got a beer for her and I and completely forgot about my water so when I asked for it I was told I could go to the bathroom and drink the water out of the toilet as that was the husband of the owner that was saying that and the owner that was standing right there. I have never been so disrespected in my life and refuse to give them any more of my money. read more

Good booze, good prices, good clean fun!

I've been a long time customer of Azool. They have the best steaks/large meals on CareFree Highway. The drinks are cold and they have a nice selection. I always sit at the bar, it's where the action is. If your expecting a nice mellow place to eat then get there earlier in the day. It is a bar first and a grill second. read more

Azool Grill has great food and a great bar for after dinner drinks if you want to stick around! I've had at least 10 things from the menu and have never been disappointed with anything. From fish and fries to the one of the best pulled pork sandwiches I've ever ordered, the food never seems to amaze me. Sandwiches, pastas, salads... it's all absolutely great!!! Meals range from $10-$15 each.. The bar has several beers on tap along with a larger line of hard alcohol. Prepare to spend about $5/beer when though. There is no such thing as happy hour either, so these prices are the same all of the time. The staff and owners are what keep this place running. There is a consistant stream of regulars that come through the doors and the staff makes each one of them feel at home. You're always greated by somebody when you walk in the door and seat yourself and that type of attention keeps customers coming back for more. The venue has two sides to it... both that have bars and dining areas available. Big screen televisions and a projector television in the rear room show as many sporting events as possible while even broadcasting the occassional UFC fight. A jukebox, pool table, Golden Tee arcade game, and electronic darts make sure that there is plenty to do while you are drinking and relaxing with company. The patio is usually filled with those that choose to smoke, but if you can catch it empty at sunset, it's nice to sit and just watch the traffic go through the parking lot with a cold drink in your hand. ** Side Note ** --- the side room of the restaurant is available for private functions as well so you can have your own party there. My wife and I did this for an event and we couldn't have been happier with the food selections and preperation and staff availability/friendliness. Very reasonably priced too for your own private bar with full staff and your very own restroom!!!! Enjoy!!!! read more

This place was pretty busy for a Thursday evening. The bar was very full but I got a seat. The bartenders were very friendly. I ordered a French dip which was pretty good. Good value for the money. The well drinks were very small and didn't taste like they had much alcohol in them. The environment was noisy but that's ok because it's mostly a bar atmosphere. Overall a-ok. read more

Great place for a last minute lunch stop, menu was a little small but had the ribs and very tasty. read more

Azool Bar & Grill - American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The shrimp cocktail is the bomb. Sweet potato fries aren't bad either. Hubby enjoyed the wings. What makes this place stand out the last two visits is the live music. I was really impressed with a band they had from Flagstaff though I am not sure who they were. It's pretty ok for a local bar. read more

Azool Bar & Grill - Interesting presentation on the shrimp cocktail - American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

So, it is Sunday and we're all supporting the "local Viking bar." Our waitress in the back was sweet but overwhelmed and was trying her best. The management should have noticed this and stepped in......but they did not. If you are going to say you're a sports bar, than staff appropriately, especially on Sundays. The owner has to be oblivious or just doesn't care. We waited for our food for over an hour. This place is looking tired and old don't even bother. Don't give them your money because actually, they don't care if you stop in or not. read more

Good place to relax and have a beer. Great staff day and night shifts. Great crowd, food and service

Best wings and best staff! We appreciate how friendly you are and how we feel so welcomed. Craig & Terri.

Came in for a beer on the way home after a long day. Just wanted one beer. Went to pay with my debit card like any of the thousands of transactions I complete every year... only to be told "$10 minimum for a card". Had to have a second beer so I could pay my tab. I won't be back out of principle. Too many other options to choose. Welcome to 2016, Azools. read more

Good local bar within walking distance to our house. Drinks are well made. We have only eaten minimal menu items but they have all been good. Happy hour is okay the specials are just okay. read more

Easily, one of the best sports bars in the area. Great service and the food is way better than most places in the area. Nice patio area, you can watch and play horses if you like too. Well lit and clean. However, the music is so loud that a lunch meeting is impossible to do here, their day business is very low as a result. The restaurants in the same area are much quieter for lunch and breakfast. read more

Sorry I really don't like the service at all! I have been there several times and every single bartender is so rude. Especially the owner? Food is good but too expensive. Hoping for another bar to open up. read more

Went there last Sat for dinner. My mom had their Prime rib special and I had their ribeye. We were both extremely unimpressed. We both ordered a salad with our dinners. I have never been to any restaurant that brings the salad on the same plate as a steak or prime rib. So it goes without saying that our salads were drench in steak juice. Also moms prime rib was ordered medium rare and was brought out Rare and bloody (all over her salad too). Our waitress was not attentive and kept hanging at the bar jamming out to the music instead of checking our drinks or to see if we needed anything else. We did send the prime rib back for the extra cook time but it definitely was not worth it. I think this place might ok to hang out and have drinks but I don't think it's really worth the drinks either due to the overall poor experience we had. read more

Food middle of the road... The staff is rude.. Seems like it starts with the owner. I think she makes the staff pay for everything that goes wrong so in turn they dont want to fix issues with poor, wrong food etc. I think she tends to forget the customers are actually what keeps a business open. For a long time it was the only choice in the area. Now there are multiple choices. If your in the area Chili's or Connolys is much better choice in my oppinion. read more

First visit Saturday 8/17/2013 - VERY LAST VISIT - recommendation to everyone reading YELP AZOOL GRILL Rating - DON'T go here even one time for your own health and safety. Ready for a turn your stomach review? For our own health safety we are never going back and turned in a complaint to Maricopa County food inspector http://www.maricopa.gov/EnvSvc/Complaints/Forms/ComplaintForm.aspx We told the waitress it was our first time at Azool Grill and asked the waitress for recommendation - she recommended fish and chips. I double checked with her and I ask if it was from frozen or fresh - she said "Fresh". At her excited recommendation ordered fish and chips. NOT sure what it was but not cod, not sure what the batter was but for sure it was tasteless. Now for the health scare - after the third bite there was a oozing moisture leaking out on the "steak fries" I decided to open the fish, cold, cold, cold and frozen - like the kind of frozen that the fork could not penetrate. We feared for our health safety. Only three fries were not soaked with wet defrosting fish moisture. Cole slaw - could not even keep first taste down, spoiled, slimy and old. Draft Guinness Beer - warm and no head, glass dirty. We told the waitress the fish was still frozen she said, "oh my bad luck other customers have also complained of frozen fish!" Liar, Liar, waitress! Listen up Mr. Azool owner, your staff are aware of the frozen food and still recommending this to customers, I wonder if they are doing you in, but then again, you are doing yourself in if you are not checking reviews or tasting the food. Waitress and cook at Azool Grill you are cost your owner well spending customers. As we walked out of this place we took notice there were very few people in the place and NO ONE had food! Darn should have noticed that on the way in but it was so nasty dark that we were watching our steps instead of taking note of the theme that no one was eating food. Frozen soggy, not sure it was cod, soggy fries, can't trust recommendation from staff. Waitress didn't take food off the bill or let the manager know - done, done, done not wasting money or winding up in the hospital from the food being extremely under cooked. read more

We had a great experience!! Food was great and service was Rockstar!! Thanks Shelly!!

Went here several times with my boyfriend...slowest service EVER! Food was terrible. Owner is nasty! If you're not one of the regulars they couldn't care less. Don't waste your time!!! read more

Personally, this place is not that good, but I was still willing to go back there until recent events. Their food is overpriced and the drinks really aren't that good. Mary the owner shouldn't have such a thin skin sometimes. Yes I admit I was unruly last time, but the bald headed dude who's Mary's boyfriend just decided he wanted to kick me out today for no freaking reason. Therefore, you guys have just cost yourself hundreds if not thousands of dollars but that's okay. My apologies for last time, but your attitude towards me today was truly unacceptable. I would have been willing to talk about it with you, but you can take my picture off your wall now. Azool=Looza. read more

The food here was horrible. The waitress told us they were well known for their pulled pork. It was horrid. If I ever go back it will only be for a beer. I will say that the service was otherwise excellent which is why they actually get one star. read more

It was our first time at this place. It was about 6 when we stopped in- maybe only 4 other tables there when we got there. Sadly service was slow, drinks were small and watered down, my jerk chicken salad was a blah flavorless chicken in an overly saturated salad. Hubby's French dip was heavy on bread and light on meat, and mostly flavorless. The fries were really good!! We won't be back read more

Went here for lunch last week and was disappointed. Food was bleh, nothing special. Probably not a bad place to go grab a drink just too far for me. read more

My family had a decent dinner - I had a bug in mine. The waitress was less than sympathetic when I mentioned the extra protein in my food. I finally told her forget it, so they kindly credited back my portion of the meal and I left hungry. I gave it two stars because apparently my husband and son's dinner was edible - I wouldn't know as I left hungry. read more

Was looking for a place to watch my beloved eagles and when I called up Azool they let me know immediately that they had The Ticket. I enjoyed my stay at azool, they set me up with a fantastic bar spot and I had front row to the eagles in Arizona! Awesome. I'd absolutely visit again. Just another show of how Arizona hospitality is like no other!!! read more

It's a hit and miss place. I've had good burgers and tuna sandwich, and the next month the food was well below average. The worst part about the place and it's been consistent is they are always understaffed! Ownership is trying to save money by not staffing property, hence I'm sure he has a low labor overhead, he's also losing customers because every time I go I wait over 5 min. just to get water and 10 min. for anyone to take my order. I typically go now during football season for lunch to watch a game... and the pub is not that busy (crazy) and it's a frustrating because it's an hour to get in and out for a simple burger. I'll try again when ownership starts taking responsibility for their service and product and cares more about the quality of the service and food, customers like myself work to hard for our money to get sub-level service when we are dining out. read more

Went here when I visited some friends who moved to AZ. Really not much of a choice for places to go at night in the area. The food was actually surprisingly good. I got the ribs and they were amazing. The highlight of the night was when the place turned into a karaoke bar. Nothing like getting a little tipsy and belting out Aerosmith - I Dont Wanna Miss a Thing. Fun night (what I remember of it anyways...) read more

More of a bar than anything. I think their food is way too greasy and when I go in there, something is always sticky. That's pretty gross..

Had the burger and fries. It was ok not bad but not great. I hate when restaurants don't have ketchup on the table instead brings a small container which is never enough. read more

The is the best casual local bar the north valley has to offer. My husband and I frequent here mostly to eat . The food is always fresh and delicious. I highly recommend the burgers , best beef dip and yummy sweet potato mashers stuffed in a pablano chile. read more

Absolutely the worst bar food I have ever had. I Do not recommend this place, Way overpriced ordered the cheesesteak sandwich that was highlighted on the menu and had way more bun than meat it was a joke! My husband ordered a Moscow mule and it was the worst one he's ever had. Service was good, food bad read more

Good food. Would have been better if the smokers on the patio closed the door. Good bar fight.
