I love the Blooze! Thursday rockabilly nights are awesome! There's a great checkered dance floor to dance the night away! The owner is the nicest guy you will ever meet. There's hardly ever a cover and drinks are cheap! If you're looking for fun on a budget, this is the place! P.s. If you sit at one of the tables check out the awesome pictures on them! My favorite is the prohibition table. P.p.s. Girls... You have to look in the bathroom... There's pictures of hunky guys on the inside of the stalls... There's even pictures of Tumbleweed (the owner)! read more

One word. Three letters: FUN! Great local spot for live music that has you dancing in your seat... or go ahead and shoot some pool! Cheap drink prices. read more

Was considering stopping at this place for a beer when I saw the clientele - not my type of bar. Not to Management why the 1 star - maybe you should strongly suggest to your bikers to consider going just a little bit slower through the parking lot. There's a kids amusement park, Goodwill and some other businesses who share the same parking lot. These bikers speed through without and care and will eventually hit someone! read more

This is the perfect neighborhood bar. I've been here almost every day of the week, and there is always something going on. Between the multiple TVs and the huge projection screen for sports events, to dance lessons, and plenty of live music all week you can get your fill in more ways than one at this bar. They get nationally and world famous touring bands, and of course our favorite local bands to play, always keeping it entertaining. Every Thursday night is rockabilly night, if you've never been for this music it's a true treat with pinups, greasers, cars, motorcycles, swing dancers, and of course an amazing band to tap your feet to, all with no cover! This is the highlight of my week, but they also offer a wide variety of different musicians from rock, to metal, country, blues, and some great cover bands as well! The bartenders are hard to ignore here. They will pour your drink strong and fast, with fire and grace. They also have one of the best bar backs I've ever seen. If something breaks he's there in a split second, and watch out for him carrying around about 15 glasses stacked at a time. It's always clean, even the restrooms! Which says A LOT about this "dive" bar. If you're in the area don't skip out on going to The Blooze. There's sure to be something going on, and hey, if all is quiet, just have some drinks and play some pool or darts. read more

Blooze is your standard dark ass bar. And it's mainly for bikers, so if you tried to wear a collared shirt in there, my guess is you'd probably be jumped. They have live music sometimes and the drinks are really cheap. And I think it's owed to their $2.50 well drinks served every day up to 6pm that Blooze is always raging during the day. They also have $1.25 beers every single day, all day long. This bar is trouble. The drinks are so cheap that you end up drinking way more than you planned and then you find yourself dancing, flanked in between two biker dudes wearing bandanas. Be careful. read more

Blooze - the front of the blooze - Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Saturday night. Looking forward to this show and we got here before 8pm. Show started near 930. So freaking crowded you can't see the band. Its so loud you cant hear the band. Fire Marshall bill would close the place. So over capacity you can't move. Let alone get to the bathroom. All about greed. Need to stop ticket sales while there is still room to move. read more

The bartender Michelle was very rude. She was slow and inconsiderate, I think she drinks on the job or was drugged up on something. She made the experience very awful. Will not return. read more

The only thing good about the open jam tonight was the bartender hot hot hot!!! Will not be going back! read more

I am not a regular visitor of bars. Though I do like live music. The night we went (thursday) was rockabilly night. The band Whiskey Kiss was rather good and made for a fun evening. We felt welcome in the bar, though it was obvious we were not regulars, our dress was a bit different. The bartender was very friendly and we never felt ill at ease. Nothing overly impressed us and nothing scared us away. Just a nice local place to hear some music. Prices seemed very reasonable. read more

I just wanted to add an update for sound quality for the bands... sometimes it's really bad and sometimes it can't be beat.... Again, the friendliness and service are always right on- great atmosphere. read more

I'm very new to PHX. I ended up talking to a cop at the airport who told me about Thursday Rockabilly nights at the Blooze. I had to check it out. My friend and I walked in and were instantly comfortable, excited, and impressed. The AC was pumping, beer was cold, the music; rockin, and the crowd; refreshing. The bathroom was great! They don't have food there but they will let you bring in whatever you want. We went there pretty early, around 7:30ish. Unfortunately, because of ridiculously early work on Fri AM, I had to leave once it was starting to get really packed and lively around 10:30/11. I am so glad that I finally checked the place out though. I will definitely frequent The Blooze as often as I can. read more

Great night!!! We had good bar service with bartender rabbit!! We went to this dive bar on a Thursday night. read more

Tumbleweed is one charismatic MOTHER FUCKA... and that is why the THE BLOOZE is the bar to be at!

THE BLOOZE has gone in such a great direction. Support your local BLOOZE BAR. read more

Played a show theyre last night. The venues pa is not up to par. Were a stoner rock style band think black sabbath we play all over the city. I was told to turn our guitars down so low i could barely hear myself. Alot of our song have feedback in the beautiful feedback like gendrix and guys and my marshall was so quiet i could even do the parts to our songs. It was one of the biggest dissapointments in my whole carear of playing out for 25 years. Last night may have been the worst sound we ever had. I couldnt even concetrate on playing because i was busy trying to figure out how to get a good sound. It was a total dissapointment. Nothing against the sound guy he only has the tools that the bar has if theyre pa sucks how is he gonna make any band sound good. They should have only micd vocals are let out amps fill the room them selves it was plenty small that they didnt need to mic the amps. Ill never play there again unless they let us set our own sound up. 2 of us in the band have worked in live sound so it sucks when were there and we know what to do but the club has other ideas that dont work. All 6 bands sounded like crap even wheb they had good music. Everyone I know said all the bands sounded terrible. Just wanted to vent because i care deeply about putting a good show on. read more

Worst Dive Bar in Phoenix. Horrible service, ridiculous wait on music that we were not told of. Unbelievable.

[Scene] It's 5:45 PM on a Sunday. A man and woman are in North Phoenix meeting some friends at Sala Thai for dinner at 6:30. With so much time to spare, they decide to grab an alcoholic beverage. Thanks to Yelp on the man's Blackberry, they see that The Blooze is right down the street. They pull up into the shopping center shared by Big Lots and park in front of the bar. They open the door to find a dimly lit room with a bar to the left. There is only one open seat at the bar, so they decide to order a drink and then go sit at one of the high tables on the right. A man sitting to the right of the open seat turns toward them. As he opens his mouth to speak, the man and woman realize that he is missing all of his front teeth. Man with no teeth: Take my chair! I'll stand. I've been sitting for hours! Woman: Oh no, that's ok. We'll just get our drinks and then go sit over there (points to high tables). Man with no teeth: No, please. I insist. Take my chair. Sit at the bar. We're all friendly here. (He struggles to stand up and then kind of shoves the chair towards the man). I mean, unless of course you want to make out or something. Man: (Laughs). No, I think we'll be fine. (The bartender approaches). Bartender: What can I get you two? Woman: Two vodka sodas, please. (She and the man sit down in the two chairs). Woman (whispering in man's ear): We'll only be here for a minute, so you're ok with sitting here, right? Man: Yeah, yeah, it should be fine. Man with no teeth (extending hand for shake): Nice to meet you two. My name is Eddie Vedder. Woman: Really? Man with no teeth: Yeah, like the guy from Pearl Jam. Woman: I don't believe you. Can I see your ID? Man with no teeth: Yeah, I get this all the time. (Pulls ID from wallet). Here you go. Woman (turning to whisper in man's ear): Haha! It's spelled Eddie VeTTer. With two Ts not two Ds. (Hands ID back to man with no teeth). Great! Man with no teeth: Yeah, Eddie's my third cousin. My wife didn't believe it when she first met him at our family reunion. She was like you're related to Eddie Vedder the singer? Are you two married? I married my high school sweetheart, Christina. Do you have kids? Woman to man (whispering in ear): Oh. My. God. Woman to bartender: Can we get our check? Bartender (incredulously): Oh, you don't want another round? Woman (handing bartender debit card): No, thank you. We're just going down the street to meet some people for dinner. Bartender: Sorry, we actually have a $10 minimum to use a card, and your total so far is only $5.50. You might as well Woman: Wow, ok. I guess we'll have two more. Man with no teeth (who has been staring at bartender's cleavage this whole time): Haha, oops, sorry. I've been skiing the slopes for the last few minutes. (Woman squeezes man's hand as if to say OH. MY. GOD. WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?) Man with no teeth: So, anyway, as I was saying, I married my high school sweetheart. We had kids right away. We've been married for 30 years. Except we're separated. We are apart except for the good stuff. He. He. That's right. I'm so glad to hear you don't have kids. It's important to grow the relationship first. (Woman keeps glancing around) Man with no teeth: If you want to make out, I can leave you alone. [15 minutes later] (Man and woman are walking out to car. They turn to each other with looks of disbelief and speak at the same time). Man: OH. MY. GOD. Woman: OH. MY. GOD. read more

This is a cool joint to kick off the evening at if you are looking for something laid back and low key and the place to be. I usually come down here to see local bands such as Souldriver, Headroom, Analbreath, and The Earps. Judging by some of the other reviews analbreath seems to be a permanent fixture here! What I like most about The Blooze besides the prices is that its not pretentious. The drinks have a bite to them which is nice especially at these prices. The beer line up is the usual domestics which I don't drink and the import variety could do with a boost. The service is quick and swift. The regular patrons come down here to ease the pain and that's obvious and that also lends the place its charm. This is a local bar that caters to rock bands and locals. The staff is friendly and the price is right. No more no less. read more

Five stars for the entertainment, 4 for the ambiance (it's a dive bar that just won't quit - from NASCAR posters on one wall, to the pin up poster above the urinal, to the cliche beer posters near the bar, this place does it up right!) and far fewer stars for the pricing, the staff, and the crowd. Who knew Phoenix had so many ugly people? I guess I don't get to Wal-Mart often enough to remember. These are real folk, though. Salt of the earth and all that. The prices - I must relate this story. I walked up to the bar, saw someone with a Corona bottle, and immediately thought "I'll do that." The straight-up hot bartender handed me the beer and said "4.25." Ok, WHAT. I was flabbergasted. Never in my life have I paid so much for Corona. This is a major dive bar FAIL right here. Later, once the Corona was empty, we talked my friend's (female ) co-worker to get us drinks, and the other (male) bartender made us stiff drinks for a claimed price of 3.25. There we go, that's a whole lot more like it. Later still, I realized I had walked right past the drink specials painted on a window by the front door. Hah, oops. Domestic only though, what's up with that?? Anyway decent cover band for 2 bucks to get in the door, fun crowd despite the low number of hot women, and a fairly cheap evening, once you figure out the drink specials. This place is an experience. Plus, it's like four miles from my house. AWESOME. I'm trying to imagine myself biking home from here. Or better still, chaining my bike up by the front door next to all the choppers upon arrival. HA. I may never be back, but I'll remember this place for years. read more

If you're into dive bars, live rock music, and cheap drinks this is definitely your place. The crowd may seem a lil rough around the edges, with your rockabilly & psychobilly people, mixed with some bikers but don't let it scare you away. The bartenders are awesome and know how to pour a stiff drink, and the patrons are pretty much friendly regulars. And for the kid at heart who likes games, they have pool tables and darts. Cheers! read more

HELL YEAH......The Blooze freekin rules for live music and cheap drinks. Owner is on top of the music scene, so there's always quality music playing every night. read more

My husband came with me to do laundry once. The laundromat is in the same area and of course while I was doing that, he hung out at The Blooze. I would go over in between loads. There was only one person working in the front of house. She was really nice. She didn't lose her cool at all when more people started coming in. She handled it well. Especially when a regular at the bar was giving her a hard time. She just went with the flow and eventually he left. They have 2 pool tables, darts and a stage for a band on the weekends. If you are already there when the band is setting up, you just get a stamp and don't have to pay cover, which is awesome. We ended up leaving before the band came on, but we plan on going back soon. It is a little bit of a dive, but everyone there was friendly. And they don't serve food, so eat before hand, but the drinks are cheap. read more

I love this bar. Used to go here all the time when it first opened and I still lived in Phoenix. Everytime I come back to AZ I meet up with buddies here. Yeah its got a lot of bikers, but they're a good damn crowd and are cool with everyone that comes in (as long as they aren't stuck up). I've seen some great bands play here and drink prices are great. I'd recommend it to anyone just looking for a good place to hangout and have a few beers. read more

I deliver beer to the Blooze bar almost every week and I just wanted to give the bartender Randi a kudos for being so great. Ever since Randi started working the day shift the cooler has been well organized and clean; that makes it so much easier and faster to rotate and put away my product. Every time I come in Randi is always doing something productive, wether it be taking care of customers, cleaning beer bins, wiping off counters or organizing her workspace, Randi is never wasting a chance to improve the business. Thank you for always making me kick- @$$ sandwiches and pasta stuff! read more

I couldnt resist taking my top off after "The heat wave" bbq wings they served set my happy on fire. IT went so well downed with the wells with their cheap 25 cent tequila.I was hanging with Marco, Betty, Tiny, and Punta when they greased over my head there. You can smoke indoors and always order the hogs-chop read more

This place is so fun. Go when Lit Up is playing. Awesome 80's cover band and they draw a huge, interesting crowd. Cheap drinks and fun for all. Grab a shot and relax to some of the best bands in Arizona. Staff is attentive and fun. Give this place a try! read more

Totally fun place. Went with a meet up group. The crowd was easy going and obviously lots of local regulars.

Went to watch a buddy play one night. I couldn't believe how clean the bathroom was. The place is set up pretty cool with a square bar in front of the stage with plenty of seating and a little dancing room in between. Cool little music venue. read more

The bathrooms are clean and there is HOT pics on the inside of the stalls! The owner is top notch and one of the most down to earth people you could meet! The Blooze Bar is a great place to have a few drinks or stay for a live show! read more

The Blooze is a great place to go when you want local band music. The owner, Tumbleweed, does a fantastic job to make sure that everybody is comfortable and if there is a cover it's never more than $5.00. Tumbleweed is really good to all local bands looking for a place to play. read more

Ive been to the Blooze Bar twice now and the last time I went to see a friend's band play on a Saturday night, had the best time until I went to close my tab. I was with a couple of friends and we had 2 tabs at the bar. I closed both of them and signed the first one and set it aside. The bartender picked it up as I was getting ready to sign the second tab (which was under my name). She came around the bar to yell at me. She continued to get in my face for not leaving a tip on the first tab. My plan was to tip for both on my own tab until she threw a fit. I serve tables and have for long enough to know how to tip a bartender. I'm not sure why she would think I would leave her nothing especially because I tipped her 20% for drinks I ordered when I first got there. I have never left a $0 tip until that night. This is the first time i have written on yelp but this bartender was so rude I'm not sure how I could not write something. read more

Cool place with nice regulars that made me feel at home. Only 2 bartenders means you'll wait awhile for drinks. Jen the owner is kind of a bitch-never smiles, needs help behind the bar, and could use a friendlier bouncer. GNR cover band Recipe for Disaster was playing and they were awful. read more

Always a fun night at The Blooze...it was made even better this Sunday by our Bartender Elle. She is so attentive, fun and entertaining. We will definitely be back to see her. read more

I am kind of a fan of dive bars so I decided to give it a tray with my hubby. It is located in a strip mall and is not super divy. We had a couple of cocktails, played a game of Golden Tee and chilled. Good 80s music playing and couple dancing. They advertise their live music but we left before it started. I would go again. read more

I'll pass on this place. Bartenders aren't cool, place is kind of sad. Go to dodey's across the street for a dive experience that won't disappoint. read more
