We go there and always feel welcome. This is the best place for LGBT ‍ women/guys. I know a lot of people come out with the drama after drinking so much and we are no exception but hey, they quit playing "As the World Turns" a while back BUT Chris the bar tender and Kennedy as well as the girl (can't remember her name) and Todd all make the drinks good. Better than Stacy's which cost more I wrote that like back in 2020. Now it's 2023 Left Phoenix and moved to Seattle but this place SUCKS AFTER 20 MONTHS HERE Coming back and the first place we will go is C7 memorial day weekend because here the social life sucks Kept in touch with a few ‍ women I knew from living there for 3.5y and a few still go there once in a while. I liked the cheap drinks, the slutty clientele , and it's just better socializing read more

Came to this bar tonight my first time. After going to 5 previous queer friendly bars that were all okay with my dog this one served us drinks. The toothless bartender Made it an issue even though I was carrying her then proceeded to feed my friend tons of drinks within a 5 minute period. I'm talking 4 drinks and 4 shots within this span at the same time while by himself. Then when he went outside they came and kicked me out a couple hours later. I talked about how they continued to feed my friend liquor and he proceeded to say he "cared more about my dog and friend than me and would never be nice to anyone else again." Made a scene in the parking lot cussing at me and screaming at me and threatening to call the police. read more

Don't come here there is no food the service is poor and the ambience is unhealthy. To be served tap water you must purchase 2 drinks and this is unethical and encourages poor drinking habits. Be wary of this establishment as this shows lack of care for customers and a profiteering environment that I can't endorse. read more

Cruisin' 7th - No water - Gay Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Walked into Cruisin 7th at 4:47 and left at 4:56 A total of 9 minutes Rude jerk of a bartender (looks like a trend from the other bad reviews) wanted to single me out of the crowd telling me I have to buy 2 drink minimum or basically I had to leave. I told him I'm looking for some friends. I've been coming here for at least 10 yrs on and off and have never had this happen. I guarantee I Will never buy a drink in this dive again... Learn how to be polite to your customers it can go a long way. BTW: Writing this review in Bunkhouse having a drink 15 mins after leaving Loosin Now look at you Cruisin You're Loosin ... read more

This place is homophobic and racist. I came to support a girlfriend dancing and they kicked me out for taking a picture. I tried to explain and the bartender simply yelled NO. I'm gay. And have been here a ton of times.. but not again.. what a shame for our community to do that to each other. Also the drinks are weak. Update: Lol read more

In all 5 years that I lived in Central Phoenix I have never been here. Very clean bar, excellent prices on well happy hour drinks (2.75). Very quiet atmosphere and older clientele. read more

I've been coming to this bar for the past two years, spent my birthdays here and enjoyed it. But suddenly I have been treated badly by their bartender Tia. 2 months ago she refused to serve me and my Native friends and denied us the restroom. Tonight I returned and Tia started giving me the finger and calling me a bitch. What bar is going to allow one of their bartenders to treat their paying customers like this? I thank Todd for welcoming me back, but for a gay bar that has a sign saying all are welcome, their bartender Tia is not doing such by being a unprofessional bartender. read more

This is a very fun and entertaining bar they have a great karaoke DJ Fruit Loops who really knows how to get the party started. The drinks are cheap and the crowd that comes into its bar well they know how to have a fun time. read more

What a disappointment. The bartender who has allegedly been there 30 years was a huge a hole with attitude. We left only because of him. It took 15 minutes to get our first drinks. We were ignored a good 30 minutes trying to ask for a second round, when the bartender finally got to us he was verbally abusive to the point that another group asked if we were ok. Also all but one of the dancers were dirty and looked obviously drugged out. Save your gay dollars and spend them elsewhere. read more

My girlfriends and I -- all 16 of us -- had a great time at Lady Christian's Saturday night drag show, Lady and the Tramps. Everyone who was celebrating something got brought on stage and got a free shot, and it make my friend celebrating her bachelorette party had a great time! Drinks were affordable, and they were so kind to fit in a last-minute reservation. read more

Staff is super polite, entertainment is on point and the drinks pour heavy and are priced right. My wife and I will be back again soon.

Cruisin 7th holds a very special place in my families hearts. My wife and I have been going there for the past 3 years, and it has always felt so welcoming and safe. The first night that we went there we were welcomed in and treated like part of the family by both the staff and other patrons. The entertainment that is offered is of top quality. The drag performers are amazing, funny, witty, and sarcastic. The bartenders are kind and personable and will make you whatever kind of drink you want without any slack (even those 20 ingredient fruity ones!) The drink specials are fun, and the prices are lower than most comparable bars in the area. The bar did a complete remodel during covid. They redid the floors, bar top, lights, and the tables and chairs, and put down a few new layers of paint. There is always some form of entertainment taking place, whether it's Friday night with Ivy, Saturday night with Robin, or Sunday for the revue show ,exotic dancers, or Robin calls your balls drag bingo ( MY WHOLE FAMILY LOVES COMING TO THIS!) There is something for everyone. Gay, straight, bi, trans, everyone is welcome here. Included are some pictures from my bachelorette party, and some from Robin Calls Your Balls (2nd Sunday of every month- it's free! Bring a fun prize to donate!) read more

The bartender who works on Tuesday evenings. I don't know his name...is far most "AAA Grade entitle a fucking asshole" towards me and need to learn more about customer service if he continues to work in a bar. maybe being old and bitter and his life sucks granted is your attitude fucking suck. You don't need be a fuckin fuck face the way you talk to me, Apparently he talks to other people with kindness. And I kindly ask for Beer. Anyhow. This place get a zero not a one star read more

This place is joke! Staff is rude, building is gross! Save your money and go elsewhere! After leaving a review on Facebook the owner reached out to to harass me about the review, after about 5 messages he then blocked me from his page and the business. Go check out other amazing clubs and bars that Phoenix has to offers. read more

I'm so happy I found this place! The trans shows are to die for. Drinks are strong and the staff is HOTT. Ill be back for sure!

Went last night with a friend for drag show and forgot to close my tab it was 2beers that I bought went back the next day to close my tab I see that the receipt has a tip. This is really unprofessional of tipping yourself without the costumers permission... read more

Love this place! Its a comfortable environment for a Girl to come out without being judged. Everyone is open and friendly and lots of sexy men do show up which adds for great visuals throughout the night. A must do at least once if visiting Phoenix and always if living here as a local:) Hugs to all, Karma. read more

OK someone needs to tell the leader of the stripper group on Saturdays during the day that not showering is not appropriate at this venue. You may have one or two interested people but for the rest of us this is disgusting. Also the music is many decibels too loud. When are the owners going to step in and realize this is killing business? I won't be returning until they fix this. read more

Walked in by myself on a Thursday night and wish I never have: the bartender looked at me like I was weird for coming in and kept on asking me if I was paranoid. Like wtf??? If you look at me weird I'm going to say something about it read more

Went here yesterday to see the drag show with my friend (and fellow transperson) Fenyx. Cruisin had everything I would ever want out of a bar; seedy atmosphere, cheap drinks, a stage, friendly bartenders, and trannies, crossdressers, and drag queens as far as the eye could see. For a moment I felt how Robert Smith must feel whenever he walks into a Hot Topic, or Hulk Hogan in a bandana wholesaler's. But alas, like Torrid and Guitar Center, I inevitably showed up the same day as the token asshole employee whose brief interaction with me would ruin my view of this establishment for all time. While waiting for the show to commence, Fenyx and I went through the back door to take a smoke break, as were a lot of other people. The back door couldn't be shut all the way or it would lock, forcing you to either bang on it until someone heard you over the music or walk around to the other side. So he and I are just standing around, smoking, talking, making sure nobody shuts the door, and out comes the DJ. He steps out, and before even lighting his cigarette, slams the door behind him. "Awwww, man, now you've locked us out," we say, playfully. The DJ stands over Fenyx, eyeballing him as he responds with "Yeah, that's the point. To keep the undesirables out" before walking off with his cigarette. "What the hell just happened?" I ask. "He thinks we're a straight couple." I laughed. I searched for a pen. I'd been mistaken for a lot of things in the past, but this was the first time I'd been mistaken as straight. This had to be documented. Fenyx, who is also not straight, was not as amused. I tried to brush the comment aside and we went back inside, where the DJ proceeded to stare down my amigo and I from across the bar. I knew at any moment, a confrontation would escalate, and I was forced to choose between leaving early, missing the drag show, or watch the tension rise to eruption. One of these scenarios carried with it the slight risk of me breaking a newly manicured nail, so naturally, I opted we go back to the Bunkhouse and play darts. I'm sure giving them 1 star for this one incident is petty, but, uh, so is what they did, so it works out, I guess. Oh well. Torrid and Guitar Center seem to do just fine without my business. I'm sure Cruisin 7th will do just fine. read more

Best drag show! I love you MIA!! She is HA-LARIOUS! She had me rolling on the floor laughing. The queens are fun, super sexy and entertaining to watch. It is a dive, but I love the mix of people that are there, gays, lesbians, straights, bi and lots of trannies. Don't be shy! Come see a drag show! Maybe I will see you there on a Saturday night! I would love to do drag some time. I can do a killer Mariah! :) Really I can! read more

Didn't know this was a gay bar when my girlfriend and I walked in. That won't sway my review, especially since we had just left Roscoe's prior to coming here. What will sway my review is the level of awkwardness. The transvestite sitting at the bar with his/her legs wide open showing the world the junk under the skirt. The 5 toothed cuban guy eating beef jerky, playing pool, and copping as many tranny feels as he could. The scary trip to the bathroom that could have resulted in a scary time for me because two guys were standing waiting for the urinal right behind me... not like off to the corner of the bathroom, or even outside the bathroom, but RIGHT BEHIND ME. Yeah, the awkwardness made this place weird. I always thought it was just a neighborhood alcoholic bar, but that it definitely is not. It seemed like a place for trannies, tranny chasers, weirdos, and locals (like myself and my girlfriend) who don't know any better. read more

Stopped in here the other night with a friend This place was a blast ! Had a really good time. If in the area again we would for sure stop in. read more

Very friendly, informal place. I've always had a good time here. And the girls are breathtaking! read more

I love this little dive. Amazing patrons and friendly bartenders. Always had an enjoyable time here. If you are a fan of dive bars, this place won't disappoint. read more

They will take your drinks before you are finished and when you complain kick you out. Go somewhere else it is not worth it.

I have never had SO much fun! The show was beyond funny and highly entertaining! The atmosphere was very welcoming, and so were all the patrons & staff. I have never felt so welcome in any other bar atmosphere. I went with a friend to support them, and I will definitely go back on my own for another show and just to mingle with the pleasant crowd. Drinks are a little weak, but the service is excellent, and prices are more than fair. read more

I actually had a really great time here with my friends but the reason I will never come back is because when I went to close out my tab the bar tender gave my card away to someone else!! I spoke with the manager and all they did was tell me "sorry ya that happened". Nothing was offered to me for the inconvenience and I didn't want to keep my party waiting so I just left. I had just gotten that card replaced three days before this and now I have to wait an additional 5-10 business days. Super frustrating!! read more

I wanted to enjoy myself and feel open here... But I felt closed down by the other patrons. However, the staff is nice and the dancers are beautiful and unique. Prices are cheap as well. I'll def go back at some point and give this place a second chance. read more

Saturday night, Lady and the Tramps was fabulous!!!!!! Drink specials were very good too! Thank you for a fun, honest-tell it like it is, and more fun of a night!!! read more

Places like Cruising 7th play an important role in the natural ecosystem of the GLBT world. For one thing, it provides a natural hunting grounds for the transexualis anacondis, a rare creature indeed that is seven feet tall, looks like a giant woman but has a schlong wider than a beer can and longer than a salami. Seriously, it's an okay place. The motto should be: Don't lick anything with your tongue. My modus operandi: Get in, get yer drink, watch the fun shows and get out. The drag shows can be quite entertaining. Play some pool if you can. And, if you are partial to miniskirts and fetish boots, this is the place to see and be seen. read more

What an absolute dive, and not in a good way. The day I was so lucky to have gone there was a show of some kind with twinks bouncing all around on the stage with small briefs on, not attractive at all. Now when entering it be prepared, it reaks of BO, sewer and garbage. I had to push my way through just to get past the entrance, once standing there trying to get my surrounding's, I'm pushed and bumped into as if I am not there. I cannot stand packed places, especially with shirtless, sweaty, smelly guys rubbing into me...yuck. I be-lined it for the patio for escape and stayed there until my friends were ready to leave. Just a awkward mix of very "interesting "people, not the most nice to look at, or trust to leave your drink for any amount of time. It's definitely not worth the olfactory assault to ever go in there again. read more

why was I here? BECAUSE I WILL PARTY ANYWHERE PARTYING NEEDS TO BE DONE! Cheap brew and very interesting atmosphere............like.....the most interesting. Have you ever been to a trinket shop?......there's a ton of shit to look at.....and it doesn't get old.....until you barf on your silk button up shirt and have to be dragged to the nearest dumpster to get some much needed rest. read more

We celebrated our friends bachelorette night here, none of us had ever been to a drag show so didn't know what to expect....well, We had a blast!! The dancers are very creative and entertaining to watch. All staff was very attentive and welcoming. We would definitely come again and highly recommend! read more

Phoenix's best bar! Everyone is welcome. Bored with the usual, join the interesting set at C7. Friday night's drag show starts about 10:30 and Daveena Ross is an elegant hostess. Bring $1s to help them fund college or make-up. If you like clones, stay away. If you like humanity, come on down! read more

Cruising 7th is quite an odd little joint. It smells like sewage and old mops. It's the definition of a dive. It's dark, and downright awkward at times (rare, but if you get stuck talking to one of the few quite drugged out patrons). The parking lot is small. There is a small bench outside with people usually smoking and chatting about. Half of the crowd is really cool. Mainly gay, but some straight people, too. There are transvestites, some businessmen, some crackheads, and some really fun and hilarious people. You never know what you are going to get! There is a large bar, some really old tables with stools, a jukebox, digital bar game, a dartboard, pool, etc. This bar actually has 2 sides, but unless it's a weekend or a drag show night, you only get to see one side. The other side has some creepy clown-like decorations and a stage, as well as another bar. They have karaoke sometimes, too and I highly recommend this. It's a HOOT! There is also a pole in the center. ;) The service is usually really good (Gary and "mother" are a lot of fun) and the drinks averagely priced. Sometimes I'm a little scared of the glass cleanliness. The bathrooms are horrendous. I actually cleaned one when I was super drunk one night because I couldn't take it anymore! I do think this is a big staple bar of the LGBT community and everyone can have a blast here. Just don't set your hopes too high. Expect an eclectic crowd and go in with an open mind. read more
