Friday nights are always good at Brennan's. Jackie (bartender & waitress) has an intoxicating smile - anyone would feel welcome. The whole staff rocks! Burgers are huge and juicy and Mexican pizza is good too. Pool tables need a lot of work but a good neighborhood bar. read more

See all

Can't order a drink from the bar unless you are sitting there?? Dumbest thing I've ever heard at a bar. Servers are polite, though disinterested. A shame that business is not a priority to the bartenders. read more

There was a work event here that I attended and we were all given a burger with fries. The burger was undercooked, and obviously frozen patties. It came out soggy and not speaking. The bright side, the wait staff was phenomenal. She was very on top of our drinks and super friendly. read more

The philly cheese steak is amazing. But if you want something high quality come in around 12:52 & ask where the "loto" machine is to the first 4 guys sitting at the bar right when you walk in. You'll spot them easily... there one groupy is a food 6, Spinner with a pinched nose voice, more than often with a bud night or mikes hard lemonade. G read more

Brennan's Pub & Grub - Cheeseburger - Sports Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Hands down best bar in all of Arizona!! My wife and i have to have fries (with cheese and bacon here and there) Wings are great drinks are great! read more

Food is good I went with friends. It's totally not my vibe because I'm not into any of what's going on in there but we went for a good meal and it was OK. If you like all the noisy sports bar stuff this is the place for you read more

This place has completely given up. I don't know if they have had new owners within the last 4 months or so but its gotten really bad. Unless your one of the regulars who have probably been drinking since 11am you don't get much attention here. Just went there tonight for the 35 cent wings on Monday night. Waited 5 minutes before the lazy waitress decided to come greet me. Placed my order right away as I could tell how often I would see her again. Just got 2 dozen wings. ....... 45MINS LATER my wings show up. Not exaggerating at all. NEWSFLASH- Wings take 8mins in the fryer...why would I have to wait 45mins??? When they finally showed up I let her know Ill just take them to go since Im out of time. She didn't seem to care at all I was clearly upset. Also NOT ONE TIME did she refill my drink...not one time. And to top of the whole fun experience I get the check to find out they have stopped the wings deal on Monday. Its sad cause I used to go here with all my friends every Monday and this place had good waitresses who cared but like I said earlier these people now don't care one bit. NEVER AGAIN. Thank Jackie for the great experience and hope you can find another dump hole to work in 6 months when this place is closed. read more

Totally diff from the Cantina in Scotts obviously no chips and salsa here. This is a great neighborhood bar I basically lived here thru football season's ages ago. If you hate Raider fan's I suggest steering clear of the times they play (if they still have the club there that is) Raider fan's are crazy and it is usually not so much fun after the games when they lose which is most of the time! They do have many many tvs their site says 24 total. They have a seperate area for betting on the dog races that was always huge with the older crowd. They use that canned shredded meat here in some meals which I think people immediately love it or hate it. I dont like it so much it's too salty and soggy but I never really liked meat anyway. I solved that problem and just eat sushi now, so who am I to say if the chicken is really good or not?!?! I am fine with some fried zucchini or those stuffed jalapeno things or even nachos minus the meat. I remember their wraps as being really good though! Don't confuse the bartender by asking for a foofoo mixed drink. You mill be lucky if they have some flavored vodka. Beer is king here and I seen a many people do Irish car bombs but hey you cant really get those wrong now, can you? Beer me please! read more

Although I had a good time at Four Peaks earlier in the week, I felt more at home at Brennan's for some reason. Possibly because the staff was pretty friendly. And what's this? Is that Jager on tap? Wow. I had a couple of greyhounds and a couple of rum and pineapples. Our waitress was very nice and offered her recommendations for shots (which I didn't take but you're welcome to try the Washington Apple and tell me about it later). Our friend didn't seem to enjoy his chicken quesadilla. He described the chicken as "worse than McDonald's chicken mcnuggets." But hey, I'd only come back for drinks. And possibly because it's next to the greatest combo store next door, Billiards and Hookah. Ha! read more

Wayne is a cool MF'er. Always good service, always a good atmosphere. It's close to the highway, easy to come and go.

Both the burger and beer selection were good. Food selection could have been better and didn't seem as if it were an Irish Pub. The service is the r for the low score. As a first time person there, the staff interaction was minimal. In fact it was just the basic service questions of a drink order, food order, and dropping the check. Meanwhile, the rest of the time was laughing and joking with the regulars. First time will be my last time! read more

Friendly staff and clients but they're really leaving $ on the table by the lack of TVs and that half of them aren't in HD and several are small. They really need to invest some money in upgrading this place. One bartender on Sunday NFL and he's pretty slow. Also, one bathroom doesn't have a lock on the door?! They have shuffleboard (not regulation length), two pool tables, darts and ping pong. No patio. read more

Plus is that food was fresh and good. Minus was that they came up as "all you can eat fish" on Yelp and are not anymore....as I discovered when I asked for another helping. read more

We are pretty much regulars at Brennans now. It is a reliable place to watch the game with cheap drinks. There is a great view of the TV from almost every spot. The bartenders are AWESOME. They are quick, friendly, and really seem to care about providing good service. The servers are good too. Very sweet and take care of their regulars. There is confusion among them sometimes about who is helping our table but it is usually resolved quickly and they are apologetic. The food that is good is very good, the food that is bad is pretty bad. Luckily, the number of items on the menu that is good outnumbers the bad. Here is a rundown on the good stuff- the Irish Nachos, Mexican pizza, cheese curds, potato skins, wings, enchiladas. All pretty good. Oh, and salsa too. It's freshly made and very zippy! I would stay away from the zucchini and mozzarella sticks. Both are too greasy and lacking in flavor. The mozzarella stick is ginormous, which seems appealing at first but it is just too much cheese and too little breading. I wish they had more food specials because the appetizers will set you back 7-10 bucks a plate. But the portions are huge. They do have an amazing mexican night on Tuesday. $1.25 enchiladas and tacos. And we were pleasantly surprised about how tasty the tacos and enchiladas are. The crowd in Brennans is diverse and interesting. I love a diverse crowd and all but be prepared to listen to either a full hour of country or a full hour of gangsta rap on the jukebox. That can get annoying when the jukebox is completely dominated by a person whose musical tastes are limited to one genre. Overall, we love Brennans and we can call it our home away from home. read more

I came here with my boyfriend and his friends before we left AZ to go back to the bay. I was surprised to see that there weren't tons of people in there as it was a Monday night and tons of games on. Brennan's is a hug bar and has tons of seating and tv's to get your sports fix. We found a booth and were warmly greeted by our server. The boy and his friends ordered 35 cent wings and I had a cheeseburger with curly fries. My cheeseburger and curly fries totally hit the spot. The curly fries were were crispy and had tons of flavor, they were a little spicy. The burger was really filling and was exactly what I wanted! The boys completely devoured their wings, and at 35 cents, you can imagine just how many they had between them. For our flight, my boyfriend ordered the margarita chicken wrap and it tasted great even a few hours later...yum! Brennan's is a solid spot to catch a game and grab some yummy pub food in a laidback environment. read more

If you have a craving for a good, greasy cheeseburger look no further! Whenever I have the craving I'm right there. Now, if you like mozzarella sticks and I mean the real ones don't order them here. What they call mozzarella sticks are basically two giant logs, yuck! They just don't taste good. Beer is always cheap here and the mixed drinks are okay if you say not too much ice. Basically it's a great neighborhood bar to chill and watch some sports on the many t.v.'s and eat good food. read more

Brennan's pub is amazing! If you are looking for some sexy trivia bring your party or group of friends Saturday nights!! I have a great time every time I'm there! It has that home town pub bar games full of fun! The food is higher quality than most pub and grub. Shout out to my favorite bartender SHAWN!! read more

Really bad service Kaitlyn is horrible This place is a dump they mess up people's orders a lot It's old and like a ghost town which speaks volumes plus the unattractive bartender tried to hit on me I would not recommend the food or the atmosphere read more

Compared to the now-defunct North Star Lounge, Brennan's is a gem. I've never eaten here but I'm sure it's not that bad. Kind of a step up from most dives in Phoenix and North Phoenix. They have tons of TVs, ping pong and a pool table. There's some degenerates but nothing too crazy. Sean the bartender is a great host; I recommend if you're in the area. read more

First off... this is not an "Irish pub" nor does it have anything to do with Celtic culture. I found this out after asking why the menu had tons of mexican dishes but no Irish dishes... the server laughed at me with a rude attitude. To add to the insult, they have green clovers all around and call themselves a pub. Anyways, I asked our waitress to replace the plastic water cup she gave me after realizing it had cracked edges all around the top (as did 3 of the 4 other people sitting with me). Not only did I ask her to replace the water glass- I mentioned to have her throw it away since germs fester on drinkware and dishes... Yet with an attitude she said she would NOT give me a new water glass and she would NOT throw it away since the owner would never allow them to do so. I was completely dumbfounded. I guarantee this company would not pass any sort of restaurant food inspection. It was safe to say we got up and left. Horrific "service". That server should be fired and the owner needs to have a reality check if that's how he instructs his employees to treat patrons in his establishment. I wish I could give them negative stars it was so bad. Left with disgust in our mouths. Do yourself a favor and do not go into this dump of a MEXICAN wanna be sports bar(?)! read more

Brennan's is one of my favorite local dives. The outside can be deceiving. Walk inside and you're treated to a very large space with standard bar arrangement as well as huge group booths and leather sofas. Sex Trivia on Saturday's is the highlight, as the owners and regulars make for a fun and welcoming place to be. read more

WORST SPORTS BAR EVER!!!!!! If I could give it less I would. Raider bar my a$$!! NOT A RAIDER BAR. Had to ask the b$&chy waitress to please turn it on... drunk Chi fans wanted the Browns - Cards game on and argues with us when asked if we could turn it on... mind you they had children with them... nice. Hey waitresses, when they have children with them you may want to cut them off. Ordered chips and salsa to start... took 15 minutes just to get that. Ordered lunch... took FOREVER and waitress never even came back. We left before our food even got there... yep, we paid for it and never even got the food. THIS PLACE FN SUCKS!!! Will tell everyone I know don't even bother. Hey Raider fans... don't go to Brennan's ... THEY SUCK! read more

This place rules. Family friendly, single person comfortable, and all around just clean plain fun. Love this place. All the bartenders rock. read more

Came into Brennan's pub and grub today with some friends and had a great time! Our server Sam was quick and fun to talk to, will definitely be back! read more

This is my favorite bar to hangout at! The server girls sam and Emma makes the environment so fun! If you are looking for a local hangout place come here, they will take very good care of you! read more

I go to Brennans on a weekly basis for Taco Tuesdays. I always enjoy there tacos. Service is hit or miss sometimes depending on if the help all shows. So if you go be sure to be patient. Many of the patrons that frequent there know each other very well. read more

The best patty melt and the best onion rings I've had. Friendly staff! Will definitely be going back!!

I love Brennans. Their food is tasty and the servers are prompt and friendly. They have lots of fun games to play, darts, pool and shuffle board. I have never had a bad experience at Brennan's and have gone numerous times at various times of day. read more

Sometimes we will stop by and get some food as well as drinks and play some pool. A couple weeks ago we went in and the waitress we had was beyond very rude. She had strawberry blonde hair. Cant remember her name. But wouldn't let us behind the shuffle board area with drinks in our hands, we had to be visible to her standards. And wouldn't give our cash back after she took our bill. Kept an eye on all of us the whole night and when we would want something she would give us a tone. Also started to clean our table up when we werent even close to being done yet. SUPER RUDE. Our whole table couldnt believe the service we were getting from her. We love going in there cause every waitress we had was a sweetheart but after her I don't think we will be back as much. read more

My two friends and I stop in here quite regularly for happy hour. We love coming here for the drinks as well as the food. However, the main reason we come here is because of the wonderful bartender Wayne! He's always in a good mood and you can tell he genuinely cares about the people who frequent this place. Thank you Wayne!! read more

I loved coming here on Saturdays for sex trivia. However, there is this one waiter that would always serve us that was completely rude, smart mouthed, and just an all around bad attitude. I was just in utter shock how a person that relies on tips for their living could be so rude. Since the last encounter with him, we haven't been back. It's a real shame because I really enjoyed hanging out there. read more

This place is a good , fun minded bar/restaurant . I have gone in there enough to find it consistent , the bar staff is super friendly and very attentive , The place is laid out effectively to accommodate a pretty large crowd , and by design with a high occupancy it does not feel cramped ... They have a fun version of sexual trivia on Saturday nights , good times ! read more

Hmmmmmmm when u walk in there's a mold smell. There is a one stall bathtoom for a pretty big bar. I find that weird. They claim to have happy hour special which is a quarter off . Seriously ? Why bother ? Seems like alot of regulars come to this barm we r only stopped by cause we r going nto movies next door. Let me say this place has the saddest rueben I have ever saw !!! See photo. My husband order ordered chicken wings he liked the sauce. We appear to be the only one in the place eating food. The waitress was super nice. Thanks fpr paying attention dawn . read more

Brennan's Pub & Grub - Saddest rueben ever !!!! - Sports Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The burger is really good but I look a lot for service too. Been here three times, first time was a little slow but awesome. Second time I asked for no lettuce or tomato on my burger and the male bartender said "it comes on the side anyways". Got my burger with the stuff on it. Third time I went in there the same male bartender walked past me three times without saying a word. I had to get up and walk out. Pretty pathetic to be honest. read more

I used to drink a lot. I mean, I still do, but I'm not in my 20's anymore liver! I shall wrap up about 70 trips here into one review. I used to live in quite a short stumble distance from here, so I frequented knowing I could avoid a DUI and always have a good and safe time. There are so many positives. Let me add that this and the (other former Brennan's East of here) are quite different. Yeah, this is in a strip mall, as a ton of bars in AZ are. There is no outside seating. There is a lot of indoor seating- booths and tables galore as well as a large bar with extended seating. For some reason the booths to the left side of the door seem to be made for either children or anorexics. The rest seem just fine! It's a little aged, clean enough, older place. They have darts, pool, shuffleboard,and bartop games. I have never had bad service here. Honestly. The servers and bartenders are attentive and motivated. The menu at this Brennan's is huge! If you can't find something you like here I would be shocked. Let me tell you they sure don't skimp on cheese. Order anything with cheese and you shall see. The mozzarella sticks are the size of cucumbers! A word of advice: Share a meal. The portions could feed 6 people (unless an ala cart choice). Trivia on Wednesday's for cash and Sex Trivia Saturday's for sex toys! Who can resist that?! (Hey, put your cell phones down- no one likes a cheater! Yeah, you!) Prices are great as well. Happy hour gives you a good bang for your buck. It's a fun, local type bar that always felt safe and welcoming. Used to feel like "Cheers" to me. Too bad I can't stumble here anymore, but I still visit often. Never had a bad time and if I were a fly on the wall, I'm sure I could write a lot more here. :) read more

This place is so much fun! And they have sex trivia Saturday nights. Can't beat that!

What a perfect, comfortable place to enjoy a few drinks and something to eat. I've been sporadically in the past but every time has been a great experience. The customers at the bar seemed like regulars but made me feel welcome even though I didn't know anyone. The bartender, Heather, was attentive to everyone despite working the whole bar herself (Late afternoon). My margarita was perfect and I'll be ordering tacos again. Sometimes I'm worried going into local places, but the atmosphere and staff were very welcoming. read more

I've been going to Brennan's for years now. I'm 27 now but started coming here as a kid to Brennans and would catch Suns games with my Dad and brothers and enjoy some Wings. Brennans is a shining example of what a neighborhood bar should be. It has always been everyones Cheers. The staff here is top notch. They are all very interesting characters. Wayne, who is the lead Bartender has been there since the beginning, is the absolute best. Just talk to the guy and observe him and you will understand what I am speaking of. Sean is also a great bartender and makes a mean mean drink. If he likes you, he will make you the " Red Sox Shot " It is LEGENDARY. Jordan who bartends and serves there, knows how to ask the cooks to make the wings a special way that make them even more amazing. Flavor suggestion: Honey Hot. Great spot to go for all the basketball and football games, drink prices are very accommodating as well. The football crowd on Sundays is fun. You have some real die hard fans that go there for football, you have some people out with laptops placing bets over the internet, fantasy football going, Bloody Mary's flowing. I live in San Diego now, but every time I come into town, its an absolute must to go to Brennan's for all these reasons and more. Enjoy yourself and sit up at the bar so you can experience the bartenders. If you want to mess with Wayne, talk about the Raiders. :) Steve Zimmerman Phoenix Suns 4 Life read more
