    Nothing fancy just a great bar. Service was great and the bar tender was super friendly. Drinks were poured and mixed well. Prices were reasonable for downtown.

    Lyzzard's is one of the popular downtown, off-Row bars occasionally referred to as "The North Row." Some websites say it in on Whiskey Row; it's not. I've heard out-of-towners on Whiskey Row say they couldn't find it. Perhaps likely because it can't be seen from the Row. It is just a minutes walk however, 1 block away around the corner on Cortez St, making it a must stop if you're doing a Whiskey Row Pub Crawl. Both the bar itself and backbar have a long colorful history worth mentioning. The massive Brunswick mahogany and cherry wood backbar is amazing - it was built in the 1880s, but stories vary as to where it originated from. Accounts agree that the last leg of its journey to Prescott was from San Francisco via wagon train, right after the turn of the century, when the bar itself was established. This all makes Lyzzard's a must stop if you're doing a Historic Downtown Prescott tour. The location started as The Del Monte Saloon over a century ago. It became Scholey's Pool Hall and switched to a pharmacy during prohibition. There were other name changes but it was always a bar right up until it became The Lido Buffet (still a bar) which is what it was when I first went in back in the day. It's been under the Lyzzard's moniker for a couple of decades now. Older reviews here don't reflect the current Lyzzard's experience. In the not to distant past it was a live music and dance club. It's also been an alternative music and punk rock venue, which featured international touring acts and recording artists. It has been through ownership, management and staff changes that have major impact on both the vibe and experience here. Right now Lyzzard's is experiencing a resurgence of popularity and draws primarily a 20s & 30s crowd, as more of a locals bar than a tourist destination. Typically, it is a stop on the "North Row" crawl: Public House/The Point/Lyzzard's. There is absolutely no live music or live DJ these days. You'll find 2 pool tables, a shuffleboard, and a variety of table, coin and social games, and a few TVs behind the bar. Even the raised performance stage has been converted into a game area. The big feature here is the most impressive craft beer on tap selection in Prescott; about 40 as well as Jameson and Jack Daniels on tap. The liquor is reasonably priced, with good pours. They seem to have a much better selection of less common liquors typically missing in Whiskey Row bars. Nothing even close to The Point, mind you, but still it's one of the few places I can order a Rusty Nail. (So much for being an old school cocktail drinker on Whiskey Row) Lyzzard's also sports the largest outdoor smoking patio downtown, with plenty of seating and tables, with about half being under a solid-roofed gazebo. This is definitely a spot where you will run into friends or familiar faces if you're from around these parts. Some refer to Lyzzard's as a "dive bar" which is not completely unfair. It's not filthy but it won't win any cleanliness awards, especially the restroom when it's busy. The decor is sort of low-rent fratboy party house, replete with a big aquarium, and obscenely adorned mannequin by the front door. Service is fine as long as you know dive bar protocol and are ready to push your way through to the bar and make your presence known. The uninitiated might mistake this for poor service when things are hopping, but seriously... it's on you to stake your claim and get served. One thing about Lyzzard's that is controversial is that they will trade you a drink for your AA Sobriety Coin. Ima leavin that one out there with no further comment.

    My wife and I had an awesome time there yesterday afternoon. The vibe was good from the bartender and patrons. Our drinks were strong. The decor and the actual bar itself were pretty darn cool. When we're in town we'll make this a go-to spot from here on out.

    Wonderful atmosphere. Over the years the place has really cleaned up. Not that I miss the old dirty Lyzzards of the 90's.

    We came here for an early dinner/happy hour and it was amazing. You order at the bar and they bring…read moreyou the food. They have a large inside eating area but also a beautiful patio and the weather was perfect! I had the prickly pear cider, which was dry but crisp. They let my friend sample multiple wines before picking, which I thought was great choice and the pours were generous. They only have beer and wine from what I saw but a large selection! For dinner my grandpa had the beet salad which he really enjoyed but heavy on the dressing. My grandma had the chicken wrap, also delicious and enough for two meals! My friend and I shared the mahi mahi tacos and a chicken quesadilla. The portion was perfect. The tacos were phenomenal, some of the best I've had. The quesadilla was also huge with good salsa. I recommend their green hot sauce, it was spicy but not too hot and paired well with the tacos and quesadilla! Will definitely be a Prescott favorite!

    My wife and I were in line to order at 10:45. Only one person manning the registers, so we waiting…read morein life for quite a while, totally understandable, things happen and we don't mind waiting around, especially because we were very excited to try this place! When we finally get up to the register, we tried to order breakfast at 11:02 and the cashier sharply told us we just stopped serving breakfast at 11:00. She felt rude when she said to us as well, but that's just our opinion. I understand swapping the menu over at a certain time and gearing the kitchen towards a lunch focused menu, but we were in line WELL BEFORE 11 am, and the person in front of the person in front of us, ordered breakfast! I'm usually not someone to write a review on anything, much less a negative one, but I feel like a little understanding would've been appropriate. We ended up getting a wonderful breakfast around the corner at The Cowboy Kitchen. (Wayyyy better vibe anyway.)
