Great sports bar with beers on tap & bazillion TV's & OTB. Addy behind the bar on Saturday's makes it all good read more

Gallagher's - American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Adi the Bartender always smiling and extremely pleasant one of my favorite on the weekend!

I live around the corner (walking distance) from this corporate bar. The only time I ever enter a corporate establishment is when I'm slumming . . that's right, I said slumming. This is the typical neighborhood watering hole, complete with a mediocre beer selection and uninspiring menu. The food is OK, but what I don't like about this place is that when I ordered a salad they brought out a very small ramekin of dressing. Then they had the audacity to charge for more. The manager even had the gall to suggest they made their own dressing. I'm calling BS! I've worked in kitchens, including fine dining, and this was your typical Sysco product. The ONLY reason I'd go back to this restaurant is if a large group I was part of wanted to go despite my objections. read more

Had a fabulous server. Thanks Rebekah! The only thing I would suggest is a REAL au jus. The au jus you have is oily and has the wrong spices in it. Just doesn't work. Other than that, I had a great experience. read more

I love my girl KAITLIN! She's always on top of everything! She can read my mind! She takes care of us girls! She knows who we are...she "rocks" pours better than anyone!!! Love you Kaitlin!!!! read more

Came here for lunch and was pretty disappointed. The wings were tiny, seriously the smallest wings I have ever had, like mini wings. The meat plate sounded good, we ordered chicken breast in bourbon sauce and pulled pork. The chicken was good, tender, juicy and had great flavor. The pulled pork was served dry and had a weird taste to it, like rubber.. Even with tons of BBQ sauce it was still dry. The corn on the cob was mushy and the salad was wilted. Bad meal overall, but good service and icy cold blue moon. read more

Visited for lunch today, my first time at G's. Since I already checked out the menus online, I was ready with the first of many questions regarding my numerous food allergies to ask my server as soon as he walked up to my table- Yes, I'll have iced water, please. Oh, and could you find out if your bbq sauce contains ...? (Some don't, you know.) Next thing I knew, Liz the manager was at my side. After mentally jotting down which of the "major" allergens I was most worried about, she disappeared into the kitchen to do some research: are the sauces safe? is the cod fresh or frozen, and is the batter *-free? the fish is def. not frozen, but she'll check re * ingredients... are the breads made in-house? (home-made reduces the chance of * usage.) and the verdicts? lay off all the sauces, just to be sure; not sure on the batter, so stay away. breads are made locally, and she didn't have any ingredients info. and with all of that data, i pretty much had most of the menu items crossed off (sandwiches/burgers that contained buns and sauces, entrees that used sauces (award-winning ribs, entrees adorned with sauces, marinated meats, etc.), fried fish, anything battered. this left the wraps (well, those that did not use *, sauces, etc.) and the sweet potato fries. Ah, the SPF! What was I thinking, laying off of the raspberry mayo for the first half? This sauce brought the greatness of the fries to a new crescendo. I REALLY love crispy/crunchy textures (probably due to my compulsion to be healthy and stay away from deep-fried anything most of the time. Plus, grease-flavored foods really don't rock my boat. Oh, but these SPF's with the razz mayo were really good. The meat wrap, $7.95. With beef tenderloin, $8.95. Comes with choice of side. Other sides not listed may require an upcharge- most likely with my SPF. My beef wrap looked quite appetizing- thin slices of beef tenderloin with SW rice and shredded cheese wrapped in a chipotle tortilla, with shredded salad mix and salsa with sour cream drizzle on the side. Took a bite. Mmm... very tasty, but wha? Is that * in the SW rice?!?! For the rest of the meal, I was picking * off. What I really should've done was return the wrap and get one sans rice, since the * juice would be all over the rice. But the first one took so long to reach my table- I had eaten all but five sticks of the fries- that the option didn't even enter my thoughts. The fries cost an extra $3 bec. I was served the app portion. Whatever. I'm also thinking that the chipotle wrap had * in it. (I was in pain for the rest of the day, and still am, twelve hours later.) Yes, I was disappointed, but I can't say all of those minutes chatting with the manager were for naught. I just wished she and especially the staff were more knowledgeable of all of their dishes and sides. I'll return for the sweet potato fries and razz mayo. And maybe a delectable icy beverage. Anyone know how the margaritas, pina coladas (haven't had one of those in years!), and daquiris are here?? Inside atmosphere (standard booths and rectangular bar tables and chairs with TVs everywhere you look up- like a cafeteria) is a striking contrast to the lazy Sunday, who-knows-who's-coming-to-dinner vibe (bossa nova music was playing in the background) I felt outside as I walked past to get indoors. One problem- I just can't stand inhaling cigarette smoke while I'm eating. I can't stand inhaling tobacco smoke anywhere, anytime, actually. I hope I didn't offend anyone just now... For some people it may be flatus or body odor that offends them; for me, it's smoke. Unless it's a clove. Love that spicy scent. (Body odor offends me, too. But I digress...) Anyhoo, for all you sweet potato fry lovers out there, try them here. You'll thank me later. read more

I'm not a big fan of Gallagher's overall, but that's primarily because of what it is - a sports bar - which I tend not to frequent, for a couple of reasons: 1. I don't like sports, and 2. they aren't usually very veggie friendly, unless you like salad, which I don't. Gallagher's though, serves up a pretty good veggie burger. You've got a couple of options when ordering - you can either build your own Gallaburger (B.Y.O.G.), or order one of the other burger options and just substitute the veggie patty. There are quite a few to choose from, some better than others, some actually pretty fucking good, like the Baja Burger with jalapeño jack cheese, sliced avocado and fresh salsa (I think this one comes with bacon by default, but from my experience, they're very receptive to mixing and matching, which is nice). Or the Maui Burger with swiss cheese, teriyaki sauce and pineapple salsa. read more

Used to come here for one of the best fish frys in town but the quality of fish has really gone downhill. It's obvious they use the tail end and that's it. I can't give it any less than three stars because the rest of the menu is really good. Too bad about the fish read more

Lindsay is the best!! Great service and always pleasant! The drinks are amazing!! :) Love this place!

Great beer and decent service. That's the end of it. If you're going for happy hour I'm sure you'll be pleased. If you want food, RUN! Gallagher's has been the only decent bar/restaurant in the area (besides Amano's, which is excellent but a bit pricey). They used to have good (not great) bar food, but apparently being the only game in the Baseline corridor has softened them. Their burgers were - were - above average. I'm very picky, if you won't serve it medium rare or less I won't bother. But they've gone waaaaay downhill. Now if I order a burger, it will either be well well done or blue rare. Horrible. So I switched to chicken since that's usually...chicken. This evening, I went for takeout, a buffalo salad (quite tasty) and a bourbon swiss chicken burger. They brought me a guacamole burger (though at least it was chicken). Can't eat tomatoes so I returned it. Thank goodness I checked it! Re-ordered the bourbon Swiss burger, received it promptly (good), took it home, sliced it in half, and beheld the pink hue before me (BAD!). It's hilarious that I can't get a medium rare burger, but I can get medium rare chicken! Of course now I'm at home so I guess my dinner is fries. Thanks, Gallagher's. Thanks. ** I wrote that review 3 weeks ago on my phone, but reviews don't upload until you log in on an actual computer (BTW Yelp, I wish you'd change that). Anyway, tonight I was out of options, being in South Phoenix. Well, to be fair I did have fast food options (which I should have exercised, stupid me). Since I had nowhere to go but Gallagher's, I decided I would just get something deep fried and hope for the best, since it's pretty easy to make deep fried food. Silly me. I asked for the Monterrey chicken sandwich. Again, I will note that back in the day, this used to be delicious. Now it's an overcooked (ironic, considering my issue a few weeks ago) slab of chicken on a bun. It's supposed to come with cheese, black olves, and ranch dressing. Personally, I think warm ranch dressing is really gross (as is warm mayonnaise, eww) so I asked for ranch on the side. Lo and behold, the sandwich doesn't just have ranch. the bun is literally drenched, it's soggy and disintegrating in the ranch. I'm so diappointed and angry with Gallagher's. It's my own fault for ordering food to go instead of waiting there and sending it back 10 times. Live and learn. BTW, yes, my dinner is fries again. I hate you Gallaghers. I hate you. HATE YOU. read more

Any place that offers sweet potato fries is worth remembering, in my book. Their seasoned fries are also outstanding! I've ordered a veggie burger here twice, and, I must say, they've done a great job! All accomodations have been made, when I have special requests like extra cheese or extra pickles on my veggie burger. The service has always been prompt and wonderful in my visits. It's always busy here, it seems, but that never seems to slow down the food making its way to our table. It takes long enough for me to know it's being cooked to order, but it's fast enough to make it to my mouth before any complaints have made it out. ;o) read more

I waited tables throughout college, it's not hard to provide good customer service. Apparently Gallagher's hasn't learned this. I've been coming here for years. The menu has tons of different options, there are plenty of tv's, & the patio is cool with the art & waterfall. The service has never been good, but today was exceptionally poor. We arrived as the same time as a bicycling group after completing a race & grabbed a patio table. We were the only people on the patio not from the race. We waited 5 minutes & didn't even SEE a server. I went inside to get a drink & waited another 5 minutes to even be acknowledged by bartender (even though there was only 1 other person at the bar). I asked for 2 beers & she refused to serve me without seeing IDs & my boyfriend was still outside. Ok fine- I understand & comply with the law- but when I expressed frustration that there were no servers outside, she was curt back to me saying there were 3 & I had to be patient. No. You knew this group was coming & failed to adequately staff your restaurant. Your problem, not mine. As a paying return customer I did not appreciate her attitude. It still took 12 minutes to get our drinks & service continued to be poor. I never received the water or toast I asked for- and the manager was beyond annoying when I ordered the toast so maybe it's a good thing I never received it. Read the reviews & visit at your own risk. read more

Friendliest Service (Vanessa), Fast Beer Refills (Lindsey), no nonsense management with complementary piggy back rides all night (JAKE!)

Great local restaurant/bar. Good food and cold beer. Service at the bar and in the restaurant is friendly and attentive. They have live music outside on the patio as well. It's a good place to eat and drink. read more

Awesome place Shannon is great food is great and the bathrooms are clean will always resolve a issue if u have one

I hesitate to give these guys three stars, but I feel that it's four stars half the time and two stars the other half, so three it is. I went there tonight for a beer after the Phoenix Suns game and actually received attentive enough service from the bar. This is good because it allowed me to try some of the great local microbrew selection. My last trip, however, I walked out due to lack of service -- same problem I've had on other occasions. read more

Terrible service!! Ordered drinks during happy hour that were watered down! When we told the staff they told us to make it a double and we will charge you more! What! Never again! read more

Very disappointed we went to watch horse race and they only have the tiny screen we asked if the three screens in inside the area that have otb could be changed to horse racing be cause we couldn't see the screens the said it wasn't on the same feed. We wouldn't even come here but there isn't any closer place to bet horse racing in South Phoenix.Ps waiters did try to hel its. Management. Well The waiters manged to get Tvg on for us have to say that made things better and the food was great Thanks George read more

Close to home so it's our go to spot... Lindsey the bartender is the BEST! We love her so much she has such a sweet smile and is a bad a** bartender! She makes an awesome blueberry martini!! The outside bar is super nice for football! But the automatic door is broken so it seems difficult for the servers to get in and out with trays of food/drinks :( read more

Me and my work friends pop in here on our lunch break because it's fast and the food is good. There is a ton of parking and seating - and when the weather is nice, the patio is an option. There is bar seating inside or restaurant seating but either way, the service is typically friendly and helpful. read more

Very disappointed! I have been to Gallagher's many times over the years because I work in the area. I have been there for lunch, dinner, done take out and had company celebrations at this location. The food is usually pretty good, although the last few times I've had some issues with quality. However the service is always on point for the most part so I continue to return. Recently I went with a friend to dinner to catch up and there was a shift change while we were there. The waitress brought one receipt when we had asked to have 2 separate receipts. She came back and we were so engrossed in our conversation I just gave the waitress my card without looking at the receipt. My friend paid in cash. The next morning I saw on my account that I had paid way more than I should have. I pulled out my receipt and saw that it had both our meals on there. I called and talked to Mike an afternoon manager and he was very helpful and courteous. He listened to me and took all my info including the receipt info and looked into for me. Called me back the same afternoon and told me it would be hard putting the money back on my card, so I asked if I could just get a free salad next time I came in, he said no problem! Wrote my name down and I put all the info on the back of my receipt as well as proof of our conversation. Fast forward about a week or so later, I decided I would order my salad. I went to pick it up and the person I talked to got the manager on duty right away which I figured would be a normal procedure, no big deal. A man introduced himself to me as Jake and I told him what happened and showed him the receipt with all the info Mike had previously given me. He made a face and said the other manager didn't know (know what? I have no idea) He said that two people couldn't pay for the same thing because their registers would catch that (huh?) And he needed to go check the information out. I was a little annoyed at this point because I felt like he was calling me a liar and I was standing in the middle of the bar area with customers looking at me. He came back with a copy of a receipt that looked like mine but with a different waitresses name and time stamp and said my friend didn't pay for hers and I paid for both meals (how would he know that without her receipt) and that it's OK he'll pay for mine now. Um, I saw my friend pay her bill in cash and leave a tip. Whatever I didn't even argue. This experience left a sour taste in my mouth. I stood there feeling like I was stealing or lying to get a $10 salad. I won't be going back or recommending any longer. read more

We were here on KY Derby day and while the betting was fun the service bordered on discriminatory. We were walked by at least 7 times without being acknowledged that we were there at our table. This while the table beside us got service and backslaps every 5 minutes. We walked out. Do not go here. read more

This is our second time here and feeling the same way as the first. Bar area is too full to sit in so we sit in the back dining area with tons of tables and it's all seat yourself. We had someone come right away for drinks but then can never really tell who our server is and it takes a bit to order. Last time we ordered an app and 2 entrees and got the app after the entrees - which sucked because we ended up having too much food. Large portions, food is good for bar food. Didn't like the chicken tenders, but had good wings and a wrap. Have a large menu and seem to have decent specials. Sadly we live in south Phoenix and thus will probably continue to come because it's the close sports bar with the best draft list. Lots of Four Peaks and other crafts. read more

Unfortunately didn't get to try this place. No body here on a saturday night was wondering why. Walked in, ordered a Corona, but they claimed they were all out. Waitress extremely rude!! Ordered a raspberry tea, that taste like dirty tap water. First and last time I will ever visit here. John Taffern - this place could use your help!! read more

Been here almost once a week the service is bad but we choose to come back do to the good food this visit stopped by to get my son a 3 year old some food at another place I understand it's not from this location but there was 6 of in our party right away the manager (Stacy) came to our table with a very disrespectful an mean attitude telling us "You can't have any of that food here we don't allow it" I understand if 3 or even 1 adult brought food from somewhere else but a 3 year old kid??? I believe it's just ridiculous they should understand it's a little kid and they should have more consideration towards them. We live on the west side of town which is about a 30 minute drive from this location and I chose to come here to be treated like this is not a good thing last time we come here! read more

Let's face it, a chain style sports bar/restaurant like Gallagher's is going to be out of place amongst the dive bar gems and hidden drinking dens that this space will normally pimp. Any Chili's/Applebee's type joint looks the same and feels the same no matter if you patronize a valley locale or the same type of place in say...Alabama. There is a reason they are chains, simple business models that can be universally enjoyed by Joe Anybody no matter where you find them. And yes, the Gallagher's name can be found in as far north as Cave Creek, all the way east to Chandler and various spots in between. Nothing about the décor is going to grab your attention and sure it is just as good as any other place to watch whatever sporting 'game' is your bag. If you happen to have one nearby you'll probably stop in from time to time but you aren't going to really drive half way across the city for something that can be duplicated a few blocks away. The food is typical bar food, moderately priced and filling with whatever unique twists that the business owner's manual theme demands. The hard working staff will range from cute and competent to bored and semi-comatose and I'm betting if you make this your bar of choice one of the bartenders will remember your name and your poison of choice; it is there job to do such things. So gosh golly gee whiz, why in the fuck am I wasting your and my time hammering out a dull yawn inspiring blurb when you can just move along and go to another venue that has Blue Moon on tap and be perfectly content doing so? Well dear reader, this particular Gallagher's has one thing that like minded establishments can't possibly duplicate; one helluva view. The outside patio has its own bar with a smattering of tables for all the smokers who have chase outside to fill their lungs with smoke. Besides a collection of fans that spray cooling mist on the gathered masses, a half dozen stools line the bar. Because of our wonderful summer climate the bar itself has a single air conditioning vent that offers the briefest moments of cooling air lapping at your face while it placates your bar tenders sweltering body (these are the best seats in the place, so grab them if you can). It was during a moment of reflective silence between old friends, that I sat smiling contently when the proprietors of this particular establishment chose to take my breath away. Through the wonders of technology the sun shades that had been providing much needed respite from an unyielding ball of flame moved silently into motion. As my mind churned thoughts home coming solace and bad 80's television theme songs the shades little by little rolled up and blessed me with the sun setting to the west with South Mountain as my back drop. Unfortunately for y'all I'm a writer and not a photo journalist so until I return to the patio view (and return I will) and remember to take a slightly out of focus snap shot, you will just have to take my word for it; this is one bar in the "regular" world that is worth the visit. Gallagher's on 32nd st. and Baseline; go for the sports bar cliché, but stay for the view. Moderately priced food and drinks; patio bar open on busy nights and weekends. Parking looks worse than it actually is and who couldn't stand to walk a few extra feet after piling on the brews and greasy food? No cover and proper attire is never required. read more

We reserved the back room for 20 people gathering for a high school reunion lunch (49 years!). We asked for separate checks (at least 14 individual bills) and they said fine. Our server was JESSICA and she was over-the-top awesome. She was friendly, professional, and en pointe as she handled us perfectly and also her other tables. Thanks so much! read more

Wasn't quite sure what was wrong with the service today. Went there for St. Patrick's Day and got in right away. They sent us is the betting/gaming section. The lights were incredibly bright there so we asked if they could be turned down like the rest of the restaurant. But they said they could not do it. I figured it was because of the betting going on. We ordered wings and they were pretty good but for some reason when we ordered steamed vegetables we ended up with two baggies full of steamed vegetables stuffed into a small jar. Definitely not a way to serve steamed vegetables. It was borderline disgusting. Also I ordered Guinness which is typical to order on St. Patrick's Day. I got a plastic cup with my Guinness in it. read more

Gallagher's - Plastic baggy steamed veggies. Wow really?!? Gross - American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

If I could give it less than one star I would. I was told this place was good and boy were they wrong. The only good thing was the burger. The food all looked old and tasted rotten. The server AARON was one of the meanest and rudest and laziest human beings to walk this earth. The manager was not much better. He was all what can I do for u ..what can I do? And then walk away or stare at us. And then he did take off some of the bill thank goodness. Overall do not bother with this horrible place of an excuse of a restaurant. read more

The table was dirty. The server was ditching us constantly she obviously hates working on Sunday's. I'm glad to say the service was way below standard I felt ignored, another server had to come by. Thanks. This place has definitely changed the past few years that I've been coming here. Come on Gallaghers, check your yelp reviews and start getting things back to order. read more

I got one of their burgers and it was super dry. It was awful I was starving and still couldn't eat it.

Simple review, if you're in a hurry Gallagher's is not the place for you. Short and sweet of it is this. "Nice staff, slow service". Ordered our food at 1230 got our food at 0115. Will not be back!!!!! read more

I used to love coming here for their wings. Unfortunately I will never go back. The last time i ordered them, I received really pink and uncooked wings. I didn't eat it so i ordered a different item on the menu. I didn't request a manager but I'm assuming the waitress told her manager and he ended up approaching me. The manager basically lectured me on how they 'smoke' their wings. I was irritated by his approach, i told the manager i always dine at this location and never had a problem. The manager just seemed like he wanted to just argue and justify my order. It was definitely my last visit here. read more

Service is terrible! I've gone a handful of times hoping that this time I will have a better experience." but no luck. The food is okay - typical bar food nothing special! Wait time is long... read more

FUCKING HORRIBLE !!!!! SO MANY TIMES I LEFT NO TIP BC THEY ARE SHIT!!!! everytime I go I LITERALLY wait 15mins for someone to notice me.. last week I went on my 1 hour lunch break and NOBODY. came to take my order I literally had to walk up to the bar and ask someone for a waiter.. then after they came 5 mins later.. AFTER. they NEVVVVER checked on me and forgot my ranch for my wings!!!! I had to get up and once again walk back up there to ask for my ranch... AFTER I finished my food I sat there for 15 mins before I HAD TO GET UP A THIRD TIME to ask for my damn bill!!!!! they are so fucking horrible this one on baseline should be shut down for shitty customer service !!!!!!! it constantly happens when I go by myself (18yr old female) but when I go with my parents they give "ok" service... I hate this place and I'm gonna call corporate on them if they do this again read more

Service has been good to us. Erin is a great bar tender. The food or the other hand is awful. Don't get the pizza. It and many other item are previously frozen, then microwaved tasting. read more

First and last time I will come here I waiting 45 minutes and no one acknowledges us. No one even bothered to get our order. I walked out it was so bad. Very disappointed read more

My only experience at Gallagher's was similar to the one described below by Glenn G. Went there with a large group from work and found the service to be excellent. Everyone enjoyed the food. Rarely do you have a large party (we had about 10) and request separate checks without getting attitude; but here they were happy to do so. Based on this visit I would recommend Gallagher's. read more

As long as Stephanie is working the bar the customer service is great! Wings and beer on Thursday is great
