I came in with a buddy to watch some sports and had a good experience overall. As the majority of the reviews have been stating, the chicken wings are delicious! I got the works and they come out hot, crispy, and sticky. A really good wing, and their ranch was on point. I wasn't a fan of their hot sauce but dipping the wings in ranch was the best combo. Beers were reasonably priced and and Monday night wing special is such a deal. Main complaint is that it is a very small space. It got pretty crowded and it felt a little congested at times, but I guess that just means that's it's a popular place to visit. Highly recommend the wings, especially on Monday nights. read more

These are the best wings in Phoenix. I've lived in 4 states and have yet to find a spot like JT's. The fries are also incredible and the beer is ice cold. The only downside is how small this place is. You have to go early or odd times during the summer to get a spot at the bar. read more

I went Tuesday night after a long day at work because I've been on a wing kick and was told JTs has the best wings. The bartender was really nice and quick to greet and helpful. I got the wings with the works and they were nice and crispy! She was even so sweet to bring them to my car while cleaning up the outside!! read more

The works wings are the best. The sauce is above and beyond all other wing sauces in AZ. I used to come for the dive bar drinks and now I only stop in for wings. If you like sauce I would order the wings double dipped. I don't know anything else about the rest of their food, but the works wings is all you really need to know at JT's. read more

What a great bar and atmosphere for a neighborhood bar! The wings are by far the best I've had in my 20 years in AZ. Not even a question. I'd highly recommend this place if you're even remotely close to the area! read more

Was really excited to try this place but the guy running things, seemingly the owner, is unprofessional and rude. The way he speaks to both staff and patrons was unprofessional and unkind. He also yelled at multiple cars in his lot, shared with multiple other establishments, to not park there if they weren't attending the restaurant, leading an employee of one of the other stores to come out and tell HER patrons it was ok to park in front of her store. The food was mediocre for the price and the owner/manager was actively ruining the experience for both diners and staff read more

Hands down the best wings I've ever had!! They have ruined it for me at any other place! I can't order wings anywhere else because I always end up disappointed. "The works" and "medium" are my favorite. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside! Absolutely perfect! read more

I've long heard about the legendary JT's and how their wings are some of the best in Phoenix (if not THE best), however, I had yet to make my way to this "hole-in-the-wall" establishment. Yesterday that all changed when my co-workers headed there for a small happy hour and I was able to experience it for myself. Usually, when people talk something up, you're a little disappointed when you experience it for yourself, but that could not be further from the truth! The hype about JT's wings is real. There are the best wings I've ever had, especially the spicy buffalo dry rub. This will be my new go-to wing spot, and if you like a stiff pour, JT's is definitely the spot for you! read more

This is a fun bar with a really cool, chill atmosphere! Very glad we tried it out, food smells good, drinks are good! read more

Wings are great. Burgers are meh. Fries are good but a tad salty. Service is weakest link.

Holy moly WINGS! Get them! They are grilled and made to order. Went on a busy Friday night but was able to snag a seat at the bar. The wait for food was a little long (lots of takeout orders happening and to be fair I was very hungry). I enjoyed some beer and watched March Madness on the tele. Ambiance was great, people were happy and a good variety of music was playing. Bartenders were friendly and attentive. I love casual laid back places and this is def one. Overall great experience! read more

My friends took it to heart when I poked fun at Randy's propensity toward the new and shiny in regards to his taste in bars and restaurants. Randy thus tagged my weekend visit "Danimal's Tour de Dive 2017." I make no apologies. I just prefer places for eating, and especially drinking, with a little more character than your typical places in OC and Scottsdale/Phoenix. We hit up additional bars after dinner on a recent Saturday night: Dilly Dally Lounge, and The Little Woody. JT''s was bar far the best of the lot, with The Little Woody a close 2nd. JT's was clean and tidy with a bit of a more mature crowd, and a professional btender lady. Drinks were very reasonable and Yvonne, our local tour guide, stated that the food is above average for bar food. This would probably be "my" watering hole if I lived nearby. Cheers! read more

Best Wings in Town! Get "The Works". Solid contribution to any Football Sunday party, Thank me later.

Let me start this review by saying that I am not a wing girl. Every wing I have tried in the past has been fatty, gamey, and just not at all appealing. My boyfriend took me here, and swore that this place would change my mind. Let me tell you, he was right! The wings here are perfectly crispy, perfect spice level, not too drenched in sauce, and the meat was great quality. We inhaled our food, JTs converted me! read more

Super good wings. Great fries and atmosphere. Beer is cold. Will be coming here for years to come.

Best wings in the valley PERIOD. The works is a great combo flavor but I prefer the hot ones a little more. This is a hidden gem in terms of location but make no mistake their reputation has travelled far. Get their early to grab a seat, it's so worth it. Service is always great, drinks are always cold, and the food (small menu but everything is delicious) is always on point. read more

Jt's Bar & Grill is exactly what I have been looking for in the Valley! Neighborhood dive bar where everyone seemed to know each other, insanely friendly service (shout out to Kerri!) and killer bar food and chicken wings of epic proportions! I am a chicken wing connoisseur, and frankly Jt's may have the best chicken wings I have EVER had! They deep fry those baby's, sauce em and throw them on the grill. They have several choices of sauces the best was the works which featured all of their sauces mixed together minus their suicide sauce which produced a delicious and not too spicy wing! I like my wings ultra spicy so I ordered a side of the Suicide sauce, which I personally loved - definitely spicy but not so that your mouth is on fire. Their wings will set you back $7.50 for a dozen ( Which makes me love this place more!). They have a pretty large beer selection on tap and every liquor you would want! This place is def going to be apart of my repertoire and it should be for you too! read more

JT's Bar & Grill - Chicken wings! - Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

My favorite dive bar in the universe! If you want to go somewhere with friends that has dirt cheap drinks, a rad jukebox, & awesome random people, then JT's is it! Allegedly, I got really drunk here, danced my ass off on the dance floor that exists in my mind, met the owner, got a free t-shirt, ordered a pizza delivered there at 1AM, made several inappropriate life decisions, & ended the night with an $18 bar tab & a taxi ride home. Allegedly. I lost the fabulous free t-shirt they gave me too. The front of it said- DUH! I mean, can you get any more classy than that? If you can't have fun here, then you should see a doctor cause you're probably all bunged up. read more

I recently visited this place love the fact that is a hidden gem. Great wings and food as well as awesome customer service. Will definitely be go back and often for sure!! read more

Spent some time here waiting for my knives to be sharpened next door. The beer was cold, the (famous) wings looked and smelled amazing and the bartender was super personable. There were a few TVs tuned to the sports. It has an odd little patio outside with a couple of tables, but multiple signs telling you not to bring your drinks outside. It is definitely a locals hang-out with the guy sitting next to me at the bar trying to remember the name of an Arcadia nightclub from 1990 which "used to be great until it turned a bit knifey" The bartender and the local struggled with the name. I was of no help. I Googled "knifey Arcadia nightclub" without success. I left before they could get it, so I don't know if they ever figured it out. If, by chance you do know the answer, please stop in here and tell them - they are probably still trying to remember. read more

Damn, I love this place. Feel at home and love the wings and cold beer! Never disappointed when I bring friends here for the 1st time!

Some nights you workout and eat at Flower Child for dinner, other nights you want beer and wings and to kick it back in divey a bar. For those latter nights, this is your spot. I had read about this spot awhile back and after a coworker mentioned JTs recently, I decided to needed to definitely check this place out! I love that this place is a "divey" bar but also a spot where you would never run into any questionable characters. It is situated on the border of Scottsdale and Arcadia and is a hidden gem in an otherwise more upscale area. It's definitely quite intimate inside.. Imagine a typical McDonalds and split it in half, that would be about the size of JTs. There are lots of regulars, I'm positive the owner who seated us knew that it was our first time. We came at the peak of the dinner rush and witnessed a few take out orders, you can tell they have quite the reputation in the area. My fiancé and I absolutely loved the food. We ordered mild wings, French fries to share, and then I went with a grilled cheese and he got a grilled chicken sandwich. The wings are SO YUMMY! Because they're grilled after being fried and sauced, there's this wonderful crispiness to the wings, not to mention the added char from the grill that makes for some excellent flavors. The only drawback was the amount of time we waited for our food which was probably about 45-60 minutes. The waiter apologized and let us know that a ton of take out orders were put in right before we arrived but it does make me leery about going back during dinner and receiving a timely meal. Regardless we will return but maybe at a less peak time, I'm already craving some of those amazing wings! read more

I got friends in low places At JT's Bar where the whiskey are downed And beer chances my blues away And I'll be okay Well, I'm not big on chicken wings Think I'll give them a try with hot sauce Oh I got friends At JT's Bar & Grill! (Lyrics - Garth Brooks - Low Places) I can't say I'm a regular here, but this is definitely my dive. The place reminds me of home back in Iowa. Low, dark, and dink with some crazy-#$% flares hanging around, and I'm not talking about the stuff on the walls - wink! I've been here enough and it's weird to say I've never really ate here until I saw it was 2012 Best of Phoenix Bar Food! Shawa!? Sweet and awesome article so my friends I gotta try. I ordered their wings after watching how the cook made them. Fried tossed in sauce and then grilled. Never saw it done like so, but I'm not a fan of soggy wings. I always order on the side, but the bartender convinced me to go with "the works", and keep it as is. I'm not a sucker for pretty bartenders, but how can I say no.....ooooh shucks sure! I did not regret the decision - no foo, not the "Lebron Decision", I'm talking about the wings! Okay let's stay focused. The wings came with a perfect texture of crispiness with a jolt of sweet and spicy sauce. Bam! Best damn sauced wings I had! Thanks for the recommendation! I ordered a side of fries to keep that spicy to balance the spice. Along with your food you must order a few drinks here. Not the largest selection in town, but if you need that go to the Yard House ya hippy! My AA (Affordable Alcohol) group would love it here. In my opinion the drinks are pretty cheap considered the prices of most places these days. Overall, great bar to lay low if that's how you feel for the night. It's right in the heart of the Arcadia neighborhood and it's not as rough as it looks from the outside. I'm from Iowa and I've seen some rough bars and this place looks the spot, but once you start meeting the people around having a drink. You'll feel just at home - a Midwest home that is....- Enjoy! read more

So my good friend, the pilot calls and says, "Kimberly, can your yuppy ass hang at a dive bar?" and Im like, " Bring all the dive you got baby...", of course, hes about as preppie as they come... and we end up at JT's... OSU banners adorn the place... its long and narrow.. and we got the once or twice over as we walked in... the bar tender, Rebecca was sweet and informative... The place is simple... and cheap... and packed... The wings seemed to be the thing... and Im wishing I had a taste for them... just never have been a fan. But they looked good... My friend had a burger... it was piled high with mushrooms.. I had a grilled chicken sandwiche...basic, but I needed food if I was drinking with a pilot, after all... 2 Guiness, 4 Harp, 2 shots and 2 burgers... and the bill was about $45, thats a pretty good thing... read more

JT's Bar & Grill - It a hole in the wall but once you find it it's totally worth it! - Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

horrible service. bartender are extremely rude and come off entitled... they are ageist if you are not middle age or older than 40 and will treat you poorly based on you being younger than their usually middle aged clientele. read more

JT's has the best chicken wings!!! The "everything " wings are great, but the "hot" wings all drums are too dang good to pass up. I'm sure all flavors are great. The wings are tossed in sauce, fried, and finished on the grill. Each order is made fresh in the small kitchen which is visible from the bar. The main two chefs at JT's are absolutely amazing. They are quick, efficient, clean, and crank out delicious bar food. JT's is easy to miss and can get very full, especially during big games. It's definitely predominantly an Arcadia crowd, but there's a good mix of people that frequent JTs and All of the bartenders are great. read more

Not enough words to describe how great the wings are here. Only wings I will eat. Legit snob...and I am very ok with it.

This is the dive bar that connects Phoenix and Scottsdale. Why do we love it so? Well, of course, .50 Taco Night (Thursday)! What else do you need? Some draft beer, a few good friends, kick ass conversation and some damn good tacos . Oh yeah, J.T is a Sooner! Boomer Sooner! Go OU! read more

Being originally from Buffalo area, I'd have to say that I'm extremely happy to have found this bar. The wings here bring me back to the delicious wings that I'm used to! They deep fry em, sauce em, grill em & then sauce em again (2nd saucing upon request) ... I highly recommend trying out "the works" .. They mix all of the sauces together (except for the really spicy ones) - Just DeLiSh!!! Service is always on point and extremely friendly. The only negative to this place is that it took me over 3 years to find it!! My TOP recommendation for tasty wings in the valley. read more

JT's is seriously the best! The food is awesome, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu! I can't say enough nice things about the friendly and attentive bartenders! We will continue to come here for the great food, exceptional service and fun atmosphere! Bonus- they have very clean and nice bathrooms! read more

Wow! This place is so tiny, but yet they are able to cram every important part of a bar into this little space. #1 - Awesome bartender! We went on a Saturday and Posey (not sure of the spelling) was serving us. She joked around with us immediately and gave crap to some of the regulars, which was HYSterical! We never waited for a drink. #2 - Wings Wings Wings! They were incredible. They deep fry the FRESH chicken wings, then turn them in the sauce (many different flavors to choose from including suicide, a little mix of all) and then throw them on the grill. I ordered the hot wings and they were both temperature hot and spicy hot - just perfect. #3 - Small but still there smoking patio. #4 - Satellite TV and football games on multiple TV's Can't get much better than this. This was our first time in and the regulars welcomed us as if we had been coming there for 10 years! We will definitely be back. The wings are just too awesome not to have again. read more

A true dive bar that makes you feel comfortable. As a traveler for work, sitting in the hotel room on a Friday night was just not going to work. So I fire up my trusty yelp app. and off I go. JTs was not hard to find and even less hard to enjoy. The place is small. Barely large enough to walk past the stools. The bar is clean and dark. The decor is very reminiscent of underground grunge clubs. The bartenders were very nice and easy on the eyes. They were accommodating and never made you feel like you were bothering them. I had two blue moons and two margaritas and the works hot wings. The wings were excellent though by the time they got to me the two blur moons had inhibited my ability to properly taste food. Anyway, the wings were crunchy and lightly sweet with a hint of whatever sauce they used. They were not smothered so the taste was well balanced. Granted this is not one of those places you go for margaritas but It is my favorite drink so I had to try. The margaritas did not impress but I never expected them to. I had some conversation with random people while waiting to sober up. The bar tender did not rush me and let me take my time before I was well enough to drive. Don't drink and drive kids! By the way, thanks to two female patrons at the bar for their interesting perspective on mixed martial arts. I won't mention it here so people can go to the bar and have the interesting conversation themselves. Definitely if I was a resident of Phoenix I would come here frequently. I love local places like this. read more

Blown away by JT's on many levels. Went for the wings based on many yelp* reviews, but got much more. The wings lived up to the hype. My bro-in-law, his wife, and I ordered a bucket of 50 with "the works." Best value on the menu for $25. The wings had great flavor, taste, and their best feature is being deep fried. I loved being able to see them cooked right in front of us also. JT's itself is cramped, steamy, and as dive-ish as it gets. But that's what's most appealing. The staff was awesome and extremely personable. You walk in and immediately they size you up as a newbie. We were given a few "welcome to JT's" benefits and made good conversation with the barkeep. No matter where you hail from in the Valley, JT's is a must! read more

This review is for drinks only! I went here last night with a party of 8 people for a birthday party. The place is cute and supposedly has awesome food...but their kitchen was closed! Lame! Anyway, we all had birthday cake shots and I know everyone really liked them....but I thought they tasted a bit like cough syrup. I do really want to try this place again, especially for the food, but for the shots alone, I would say it's just ok. read more

Came across whom I believe is the manager. His name is Julio, Julio delivered such professional customer service to my children, friends, and myself. We were all celebrating my 27th birthday and he mead it so fun and special!!! Extremely clean Bar, children friendly, and the wait time was excellent. The bar was a bit busy but it did not take away from having great food and drinks. I will definitely recommend to family and friends!!! Thank you Julio and staff for such a great time!!! I will be visiting again! read more
