"I've been going to Brennan's for many years now. I decided to write a review since I have stopped drinking. The food during the day shift is always hard for them to not overcook the fried food choices. And don't even bother having a french dip, slow cooking is not on the menu. The Monday night wing special after 6pm and the Friday all-you-can eat fish fry from 11am-10pm are good reasons to go out and enjoy a few beers." read more

BRENNAN'S IS THE BEST! What an awesome place to come and chill with my dear friends. Not to mention the staff is the best. Jaki, Wayne, Kat - all of them! read more

And now, the Killian's Red is gone. However, they've swapped it with Kiltlifter, just as delicious and more local! =9

Great atmo for a mon. Bartender is nice and they have all the bar games. Ping pong, darts (all their darts are broken, bring your own if ya can), shuffle board, golden tee and pac man! Great neighborhood bar. read more

We walked over from our vacation rental yesterday, and came back today!! Both times were mid day, mid week . Jackie is super friendly!!! Lunch was fantastic!!! Other customers at the bar, probably regulars here, were very friendly!! That is not always the case when you're out of towners! We'll be back on our next trip to the area!! read more

I come in every Tuesday for enchiladas. I always get amazing food, and great service from Cinnamon! She's the best!

Meh. Average dark neighborhood bar. Stopped for happy hour. No food on HR, limited beer selections. Friendly bar.

Great beer, great food, & even better service. They have ping pong, darts, and many other games as well. I would highly reccommend the sliders! read more

I love this bar. They have amazing nachos and the staff is amazing - Jaki, Kaleigh and Wayne. I don't ever have to wait long for a drink. Oh yeah and sex trivia on Saturday night is so much fun. read more

Great dive bar. Cold beer, lots of tap choices and one huge plate of nachos. Service is pretty good.

Cant beat $1.25 tacos & cheese enchiladas, half price Mexican appetizers and $2.00 margaritas on Tuesdays!!

Great food I had the margarita chicken wrap. My wife had Philly cheesesteak she thought it was great.

We went here for Taco Tuesdays. The enchiladas and the tacos are 1.50 each on Tuesdays. I loved the enchiladas with green sauce, and my wife loved the tacos. The chips and salsa were fine. The service was fine, but it seemed like the servers were a bit busy with the crowd. I am looking forward to trying some of the other foods. read more

One word; Fun! Great bar with terrific food. The onion rings are spot on, and as a Wisconsin fan, when someone puts cheese curds on a menu I am so there. Great place to play pool, ping pong, and shuffleboard. Owner and staff are funny and take care of you. Cannot wait to hang out there again. read more

Great hole in the wall with tons of room for activities! Pool, ping pong, darts, and shuffleboard oh my! Jukebox, great prices, and a good menu make this a hidden gem. read more

Love this bar! The bartenders are awesome and always make you feel welcome! Ive never been steered in the wrong direction when asking for drink or food recommendations. The nachos are huge and delicious! I always have a good time here! read more

I stopped in to Brennan's this past Tuesday, 4/2/19, for Taco Tuesday and the place was slammed! I was with some friends and our server, who appeared to be the only server there, was Chelsea. She was running her behind off taking care of all the tables but I gotta say, I never felt like I was forgotten. She made sure to bring our drinks and food out and even came back checking on us several times to see if we were doing ok, all with a smile on her face. I would give that service a 5 star rating. With that being said, I want to explain why I'm only giving this place a 3 star. That is due to the toxic atmosphere the bartender, Shawn, was creating. While the waitress was running around taking care of the entire place, this guy kept telling her how slow she was and putting her down. Several of the tables around us were all talking about him and how he was behaving. Everyone could hear what he was saying. Many of us told Chelsea not to pay any attention to him that she was doing an awesome job! I'm not sure why instead of pitching in to help he was belittling the only person taking care of the customers. I normally don't post negative reviews but this isn't the first time I have watched this bartender behave this way. I don't know how he gets away with it, maybe no one speaks up about it, but I think the people that own this place need to take a hard look at who they have tending bar because he certainly isn't a team player. In my opinion, it is more like a team destroyer. I won't be going back for some time. read more

Great bar, fun games good for a night out and not too expensive, the bartender is always nice and the drink are always strong

Sad to say the absolute worst bar in North phoenix, Brennan's is like a comedy of errors, bartenders are not only rude but mean and cannot make a decent drink, worst part is they think they can. The bar itself is grungy in need of a good scrub, the food is mediocre at best, pool tables need refelting and the bathrooms look like something out of the 80s with moldy silk plants and toilets that don't flush. Beer is not quite cold enough so obviously coolers need to be fixed, makes me wonder what their kitchen looks like. So warm beer, scary, mean and creepy bartenders, bad food and dirty floors and walls. Sounds like the owner needs to put some money into this place or just leave and make way for a decent place that everyone in this neighborhood can enjoy. By the way I have visited 5 times in the past 9 years and it has never changed. read more

Excellent experience. I was in a hurry for food and drink. Katrina suggested the chicken quesadilla. It was awesome!!! Great service and great portions. Glad I stopped in. read more

Good service on a Sunday night after a movie. Not busy at all. Kitchen was closed when we got there about 10pm. I would come here for drinks again. read more

I have been going to brennans for a lot of years. its a neighborhood bar with good regulars and good people , the day staff is always great and does all they can to take care of you. they make efforts to find a game or sports that you want to watch. Becca is the best and she always has a great attitude. great place for happy hour . read more

Great place to chill and have a beer. The bartenders, Jessica and Wayne are my favorites! Wayne is hilarious and fun to be around. Okay, so Im a little biased. Jessica is my gorgeous daughter but even if I wasnt her MOM I would say she is great at her job!! She is friendly and nice to look at and is good at both waiting tables and bartending! The regulars are fun to chill out with and laid back. If your a Scottsdale bar snob then please dont come to Brennans we dont want you there and dont want to hear from you either, but if your a laid back person who loves good service, good food and great beer then Brennans is the place for you! Even if my daughter didnt work there I would go to Brennans regularly! Check it out, you wont be disappointed! BC read more

Went back on Tuesday for the tacos they were better than we remembered. The bartender was a gem, very helpful, friendly and upbeat. Good fast service. We like the touch tunes. read more

All hands down! Walking distance right around the corner from where I live. Brennan's is where it's at. Visited here for so many years along with so many memories. Good food, sexual trivia, the games, Tue and Thur poker night. Many friends met here. Good times. read more

Great atmosphere and great food. Cheap drinks plus the waitresses are the very best. Sex trivia on Saturdays at 9pm are the best!

Best kept secret in Phoenix! Food is great, service is good and drinks are cheap. Total dive, but great layout and cool seating arrangements. Don't tell anyone, cause I don't want to ruin my favorite place. read more

This place is right by my house, and I love stopping in for a drink after work. It's quiet, the bar staff is extremely friendly, and after the first time I went in there, the bartender remembered me and my spouses drinks. We were well taken care of and will definitely be going back semi-regularly. We like this spot! read more

Friday night, pretty busy, bar somewhat busy and the bartender (attractive, female, brunet) answers the house phone and has been talking for 15 minutes as I write this.. ???? WTF.. never coming back.. read more

Found this neighborhood pub very close to home, excited to finally have a near by pub to call my spot. Unfortunately, the customer service, myself and my group experienced was below par. The night started off well with a funny/attentive Bartender named Wayne, good atmosphere for saint Patrick's day, a bit of an interesting crowd. The ending of the night is the reason behind the one star, as we were making our way out of the bar. A female server was aggressively disrespectful, by stating, "get the F*** out, go home!". I have worked in the service industry and understand at the end of day wanting to go home, but it was 3 minutes after last call. The bartender who was kind at first also joined in the banter of telling us to leave. It was a very poor example of customer service. Especially for a group who was hoping to make it their pub of choice close to home. We won't be back. read more

Horrible horrible service. Beer and food is great, neighborhood bar so it's convenient. Went in today for my last time. They were short handed which I could understand, but the managers were even terrible. Server never brought our food, let alone check on us. I had to get up to get a beer, napkins, plates, etc. Had to basically yell and wave my arms just to get the check...we complained about the service only to get a "thumbs up" and a smile then walked away....LITTERALLY. No joke. The manager kept saying he would get our server to us, which never happened. All tables around us were just as unsatisfied. Too bad for them, I know after today many people will not be back. read more

Until recently (moved) we have lived close to Brennan's Pub and Grub. This has been our neighborhood bar for over 15 years. The food has always been good and the bartenders and wait staff have always done a good job. This is not a 5 star restaurant, it is a neighborhood bar and hang out just like "Cheers" was. Providing good food and drinks at a reasonable price. We miss everyone there but since we are now only a half hour away we can't wait to go back and visit Wayne, Jess and the crew. A fun place with great memories for us !! read more

Ordered a Bloody Mary with gin, he put vodka in! 4 people at the bar, no excuse. Ordered a burger, most disgusting thing I have ever tasted. I was sick all night, what's the phone # of the health dept!? I should have told the guy and not paid, but it was early NYE and the place was empty. I feel sick to my stomach. Never again at this place! Stay away from the burgers. read more

I've recently been trying to find a cool place to play shuffleboard in North Phoenix. I was trying to find a place to hang out near my bro's house so we could go hang out for a bit and have a beer. I found Brennan's online and noted that they had shuffleboard. WIN WIN!! The review said that the staff was friendly and called you "honey" even if it was the first time you had ever been there. BANG! sounds like my kinda joint, so i called my bro and said, "hey man, let's go to this joint by your house and play some shuffleboard and have a beer". So, off we went. I got there and when I approached the bar, the bartender looked at me like I was from Mars. I said hello, FIRST. She says Hi. Then I said "How's it going?" I felt like I was demonstrating to her how to greet a customer. So I ordered drinks, asked for shuffleboard disks and some menus. I was told that I could grab my own menu and that if I wanted something, I needed to come back and order. Cool, no biggie, but no points for hospitality there. No real attempt at gaining some sort of an EARNED tip, no prob, it's only my first impression of the place. SO, we play some shuffle board. 5 red disks, 3 blue, that's all they have and the shuffleboard table was not in proper working order and it wasn't like the guy sitting on his butt in the office right there was gonna check on us to see if everthing was okay. So, it don't matter, we's having some beers and it's all good. We get hungry and decide to look at the menus. The menus said that THURSDAY was Indian Fry Bread day. Apparently, I am told that they haven't done that IN A LONG TIME. I guess they didn't get around to changing the menu, but hey it's only my first impression of the joint. Glad the regulars love it, they can have it. Oh and I agree with a former poster about the Irish draw of the place. I thought it was gonna be an Irish place, not even close. Crappy hospitality, limited beer menu etc...... read more

Brennans is a great place to unwind after a busy day at work. Also the harkins theatre is directly across the street. If you happen to have time to kill before your movie it's a great stopping point to have an ice cold beer before your movie!! Theaters within walking distance so you can leave your car parked at brennans and head over, on foot to the movies!!! Also on Saturdays brennans has half price burgers!!!! Choice of fries, potato salad or cottage cheese!!!! Tuesday's they have taco Tuesday's as well as half price off their Mexican food items!!!! Stop by and check it out!!!! Oh one more thing.... They just got a new juke box installed and the sound system rocks!!!!!! Hats of to jaki, Katrina and Wayne!!!!!! They pour great drinks!!!!! Also will help you if you happen to need a cab!!!!!! Love brennans!!!! read more

Not sure why Brennan's was not on this list. This a great place if you like laid back dive bars. We have been going there for 6 years. On Saturday's they have half price burgers that are phenomenal. Saturday nights they have trivia. Pool tables, shuffleboard, silver strike bowling. It's a lot bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside. read more

We ate at Brennan's last night. The waitress did not write our order down, and my husband had some special requests. The meal came, and all requests were ignored. In addition, it was cold. My husband complained, and was brought another serving of beans. However, because of the food on the original plate, he was not able to eat his entire meal. We did talk to the waitress about the importance of customer service and how disappointed we were. read more

Great place to go and have a pint or 2. They have darts ping pong and pool to name a few games. Drea gave us outstanding service and always with a smile! read more

The bartender, Jaki, always seems to have everything under control no matter how busy the place is. She is pleasant and makes everyone feel welcome. Nice neighborhood bar. read more

Just moved into the area and have been looking for a neighborhood friendly bar. Decided to try Brennan's because it's so close to where I live. I came in with some friends on a Friday night and was served by the little blonde girl I believe her name was Taylor. She was very kind and entertained us with genuine conversation accompanied by great service. We will definitely be coming back! Fish fry was great too! read more
