If you are looking for a dive bar this is your spot. It's super casual, the drinks are really cheap and it's in the middle of a strip mall. They even have a hotdog warmer behind the bar with chips! After 5pm or so on Fridays it can get really busy + the weekends but it's always such a fun spot to hangout, play pool, and just have a drink or two! One other thing, the location is really nice because it's in the middle of most of the city (Arcadia ish). Parking can get a little crazy the later you show up too! read more

Great vibes and good people. Plays music that caters to all crowds! No food menu but they do have hot dogs lol read more

Dilly Dally Lounge - Super nice staff and cheap drinks! Dj kills it on the weekends. Will def be back - Lounges Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I was visiting my friend in Arizona for her birthday and had just landed Thursday evening when we decided to check out Dilly Dally Lounge in Mesa. It was close to her place, and since she's new to the area and hadn't been yet, we figured--why not? As soon as we pulled into the parking lot, we could hear the music bumping and knew we had to go in. The vibe inside was everything you want in a good dive bar--chill, fun, and full of locals just having a good time. They had a pool table, dartboard, and some seriously stiff drinks (in the best way). We ended up staying until close, just enjoying the laid-back atmosphere and great energy. If you're looking for a no-frills, feel-good spot to kick back and unwind, Dilly Dally is definitely it. Will be back next time I'm in town! read more

Dilly Dally Lounge - Lounges Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Fun dive bar. Everyone seems to know each other creating a super friendly experience. Cheap beer and snacks.

Came in for drinks and had such a great experience thanks to the Maya. From the moment we sat down, she was super welcoming, attentive without being overbearing, and clearly knew her stuff. Every drink was made perfectly you can tell she takes pride in what she does. read more

Dilly Dally is hands down one of the best dive bars around if you're looking for a laid back spot with great energy. Brently is the real highlight, super friendly, quick with drinks, and knows exactly how to take care of you. He makes you feel like a regular right away, which is rare these days. The drinks are strong, the vibe is fun, and it's the kind of place you end up staying longer than you planned. Definitely worth stopping in if you want a good time. read more

Despite having a (more than) full bar, Brently handled the crowd with lots of energy and a great sense of humor, definitely kept Friday night lively from behind the bar! Super fun vibe in there!!! read more

If you're looking for a place to spend time and have some drinks, this is your place. During the day, locals and regulars(whom are amazing). At night the crowd shifts a bit but, still, great folks. The staff is amazingly attentive and looks out for patrons. Weekend nights get, super, lively( if you're looking for a more"club" feel in a great neighborhood that isn't Old Town. All in all, this is the place to go and frequent if you're in the Arcadia area. read more

Here tonight after work with my work crew and Lexi and Brantley were absolutely amazing and accommodating! Charged our phone with kindness and the most prompt service ever, drinking were refilled prior to empty. These guys are fabulous! read more

I like it, I love it, I want some more of it. There's always something fun happening here, NO food (only chips, maybe candy last time I visited) but the drinks are good and the vibes are great. Good music choices read more

I refuse to refer to anything in Arcadia as a dive bar, but Dilly Dally is in that ballpark. It's just so shiny and new and clean, it doesn't have that dive bar grime. Yes, it's tiny and narrow. You'll be OK. Yes, the music is pretty loud. I think it's awesome a place this size has a DJ. Bartenders are fast, prices are great, and I had fun. This is sort of a hidden gem! read more

Great place for drinks and a game of pool in the Arcadia area. Dj on the weekends. Fair priced drinks and good service.

wow Absolutely amazing vibe here Starting with the young man at the door who greeted us with a welcoming smile. while I did take a loss playing pool I was able to get a winners drink from the amazing Lexie behind the bar.. needless to say we definitely will be coming back and I hear they have karaoke on Sundays read more

It has been so fun here, drinks are great. Best service thanks to Carolyn! The spot is so nice and cozy!

Lived in the neighborhood for nearly a decade. Never been. Super cool dive bar. Tuesday early evening. Had a few IPA's. Bartender was on the spot, personable , and sincere in conversation. Great place. Looking forward to coming back on a weekend. read more

A vodka red bull is like 9$ The owner is really chill and fun The bouncers are also really chill at least the first time I went... There's 1 pool table and an area to play darts which are both really fun and there's really an interesting group of people there! read more

Great environment and atmosphere. Not too busy but not too slow. Plenty of space to sit. Very clean. And bartenders attentive and friendly. Dj was jamming on a Thursday night! I don't live on this side of town but I'd definitely make this a regular spot. read more

What I loved most about this awesome dive bar were the options to be safe during covid times and to social distance your party. The booths are large half circles around very large tables that can easily seat 6-10. They are apart from each other and apart from the bar. Take a comfy seat and appoint someone to go and brave the crowd at the bar. The front of the bar features a roll-top door atop a "counter" with stools behind it and a bank of high-volume fans that keep the air moving! True it was a bit cool for winter, but a great SAFE option to remove your mask and enjoy a few drinks with friends. Lots of security, so sketchy elements outside in the lot knew they were being watched. There was a police incident in the parking g lot while we were there, but it was handled discreetly and professionally. Plenty of free parking right outside the front door, the way Phoenix should be! To hell with these meter grabbing municipalities and valets-for-fakers for the Scottsdale crowd. Lots to do here. Nicely placed bar in the center of the long room, and to-dos at the far end next to restrooms. Great great dive bar. Right along the east Phoenix corridor. read more

Favorite dive bar in Phoenix. They are quick to serve you and have reasonable prices. There is never a line to get in and plenty of room to stand. My boyfriend loves the darts! read more

The DJ spins exactly what early 30-something's love to hear, and we get to feel like it's 2012 again, which I'm a fan of. It's a nice little bar at night, just swing by. read more

Well...been there several times.....concrete floors with free vendor stuff on the walls....comfortable vibe...drinks are good....price is ok...kinda sounding fun?? Service is beyond bad.....haven't looked but never given 1 star.....Bartender said he was the manager and actually owned the bar?....interesting since a friend is involved in a few places.....including this place...He was a drunk mess ...spent more time out front in a friends car doing whatever......a place that could be over the top... Unless live in the next door.....wouldn't even bother...... read more

Whatever you do, DO NOT leave your card with them when they ask you to open a tab. My debit card was given to another customer who closed his tab before mine. They don't answer the phone or respond to Facebook messages, so good luck finding any resolution. read more

"Bouncer" ask for ID for me and my girlfriend as he was casually sitting on booth with his "boys". We laughed it off as we thought it was a joke due to his unprofessional manor and demeanor. He proceeded to follow us to the bar. Said we could show him an ID or leave. We again laugh it off again due to the ridiculous nature of the interaction and just decided to leave due to his aggressive approach to the situation. As we were leaving, four gentlemen walk in and he dapped them up and never asked for ID. It's 2023, maybe defining consistency to keep up with the times would be beneficial. However, based off who's at the front door and your reviews, you all probably don't care what i have to say! Cheers! read more

I've come here twice with Phoenix locals and both times were extremely great. Cheap strong drinks. The bartenders are quick and friendly and they remember your drink! Great music because the customers are in control of the jukebox. Pool table and darts makes for a great time as well. read more

Update to 4 stars: Their sports on TV game has been strong lately, especially during the Suns playoffs run! Dilly Dally lounge is a pretty good spot. Great location in Arcadia. Cheap drinks, pretty clean (including the bathrooms). The service I've gotten has always been friendly. It has a neighborhood bar feel, you'll get a bit of a crooked look from the regulars, but overall they keep to themselves. Plenty of parking. No food, but I imagine you can bring in your own outside food. There's basically a big bar rail for seating and and a few booths. They have a pool table and a couple of dart boards I've never seen used, but that's about it for entertainment. It could use a Golden Tee or pinball, but space is limited in there. Couple of items that I think could be improved: they could use a few more TVs, and maybe keep sports on most of the time. One or two of the TVs seem to be locked on the food network. They also don't open until 3 PM, I work pretty early so I'm usually ready for a beer pretty early. I get it though, with no food it may not make sense to open at 11 or noon. It can get a little rough around the edges at night. All in all though, it's a pretty good place. I'd up it to 4 stars if either the TV situation was a little better or they opened a little earlier. read more

What do the best dive bars have in common? Cheap drinks? Yes. Christmas lights? Yes. Longgggggg lines for a bathroom on a busy night? Yes. Oh, and shuffleboard. That's the Dilly. I like this place. It's not fancy. It's not an Instagram worthy place. It's a place you go expecting to drink cheaply, and Uber home to sleep on your friends couch. read more

Best spot!! One of the best dive bars in Phoenix per this list below! Great service and cheap drinks! https://inspiretraveleat.com/11-best-dive-bars-in-phoenix/ read more

Dilly Dally Lounge - a group of people at a bar - Lounges Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

If you only want to listen to dio then go here. It sucks when one patron controls the jukebox. J

Love the drinks the regulars smell like tacos fucking love pancakes and butter with maple shrimp and syrup

Drinks are decent.... Crowd is eh.... The BARTENDERS though?????? So, from my perspective..... women "serving" a female dominate crowd should probably be a bit more interactive with WOMEN....: I stood at the bar trying to close my tab easily for at LEAST 7mins.... No response..... sent my 6'7 fine ass man and INSTANT "can I help you".... Really sis???) lol.... Yeah he got your attention but I'm the one paying babe and then to say "you can always leave "??? GIRL!!!! I'm omw OUT POOH!!!! Do better!!!! And I'm usually a Great tipper..... he's a 15%'er lol.... ZERO DOLLARS AND ZERO CENTS BABE read more

Love it here. Strong drinks, great service, good crowd. Nice neighborhood bar to grab a drink and play pool.

This used be be a total dive which was unique to Arcadia. I finally visited it after the new owners revamped it. Still has a dive bar appeal with great drink prices and the staff was attentive and nice. I was just not a fan of the music choice the bartenders chose and the volume was crazy loud (like a Scottsdale bar), especially when playing pool . The pool table was right near one of the major speaker systems. The crowd was a mix which is always a good thing. It was a fun bar and I would go back. read more

So you want to play darts? Cool. Maybe shoot a little pool? Neat. Well guess what? Sometimes the song "Baby Shark" comes on and then some country and then NIN. Basically there are so many experiences to be had so it's best to come during the week or weekend midday or last call. This is the spot to meet a neighborhood local, the place to be before last call, or anytime. Maybe you'll be able to grab a slice of pizza here but mostly you'll have the Dilly experience if you chose your right time. read more

Bartender overheard my friends girlfriend say her phone was going to die and she went to get a cable to charge it. Top Notch!! Not only is the bartender so nice the bar is so great. Laid back vibes, jukebox that seems to constantly have Guided By Voices playing and when it isn't you can expect to hear Robert Pollard or Young Thug. Would highly suggest this bar to advertise I know!! read more

I will be 100% honest I mistook Dilly Dally Lounge for an average dive bar. But it's so much more than that! Thank you to my yelp enthusiast friend Cayley for getting me to try out Dilly Dally. I was amazed at how cheap the drinks were, how amazing the service was, and how enjoyable my entire experience was. I will absolutely be back in the near future! read more

I will never go back. The jacka$$ bartender gave me back incorrect change and decided to tip himself $5. He gave me back $2 back, my bill was $13 and I gave him $20. If i asked and he would have just played stupid. How many people does he do this to a night? I just gave him the rest and walked out. It's ok... not only will I not be back, I will make sure I voice my experience at this bar every time. If you need 5 bucks that bad ... I'll give you $20. So weak... read more

Defin a dive but my friends and I have been here a couple times.. always seemed to find ourselves here after zipps which is literally next door..don't expect much.. has darts, pools,juke box and few TVs to watch sports and etc. read more

If you like cheap drinks and a decent hang out spot this is the place for you. Friends talked about this place for months before I visited and definitely a plan to even pre-drink to start the night or just to relax and hangout. The service is decent but and it pays to make friends with the bartenders. read more

Formerly a good dive bar, now a renovated "dive" for clueless hipsters who don't know what a good dive is. I really only go there when I'm hiding out from other places in the hood, and even then, only during the afternoon or evening. A couple beers on tap and a couple specials, no real "cocktails" to speak of despite a big old timey sign that says "cocktails." And a bartender, who I will not name but is a holdover from the old Dilly Dally, who while being very nice moves with the speed and efficiency of the Department of Motor Vehicles. Oh man, just try to get acknowledged in the first ten minutes, and then try to order another as she sits with customers and chats, ignoring the bar entirely. Or order a beer and watch it get warm in her hand ten feet away as she gets distracted by something or someone. It happens every damn time and I just don't get why it's allowed to continue. I can't recommend this place over other way better places in the neighborhood unless you're out of options. Actually I can't recommend this place at all. read more
