Been here a few times. Just love the attention of the bartender(Courtney) she is great. The drinks were spot on and the food was well worth it. Had ribs and couldn't ask for any better. Was real happy with the experience, as I have been in previous visits. And service was great. read more

We were looking for a local sports bar to check out away from Sedona so we decided to stop in here. It was quite the happening spot when we arrived. Midday Saturday with live music, people dancing and having a great time. You can definitely tell it as a local bar. There were also pool tables and other things to play while you drink and hang out. Service at the bar was friendly. We had our drinks. Prices were great, which we loved. read more

Easy place to pop in to have a drink and some food! We enjoyed fried pineapple and pickles + wings . Don't sleep on the fried pickles n pineapple bc wow they were so good!! Raven was so sweet and welcoming along w other employees. Glad we popped in read more

Generally a good experience, but we had one of the bartenders (dyed blond with shoulder length) be unnecessarily rude to our group. We were almost done, and the last person drinking stepped out to hang with the people smoking (which you aren't supposed to do admittedly), and the bar tender immediately came out, and starting chewing her out for it, and then snapped at us for hanging out without drinking. I don't mind being called out for making mistakes, but she was completely rude, boredline aggressive with us, and we were trying to comply. I like the food and atmosphere, but someone like her would make me want to find somewhere else. read more

Blonde girl at the bar is super rude. Spent plenty of money at the bar and tipped her out fat. Went outside to have a smoke and she told me I was lettering. Wish I could take my 25% tip back. Don't give establishment your money. Go somewhere where your business is valued. read more

Went there for Wednesday NOT YOUR GRANDMAS BINGO! what a fun night. Our bartender was amazing and the place was packed, get there before 7! read more

I'm giving this place five stars because of the new owners. This place is a complete turnaround compared to before the new owners took over. With new pool tables, dartboards and more frequent entertainment, this place is where the fun happens! read more

Horrible service at the bar. Stood there while she served anyone else walked up. Said f*** it and walked out never to return.

The change in ownership has engendered a change in clientele. The food service is slow. The blond bartender doesn't listen. She charged my credit card although I told her I would pay in cash, I also ordered fries to accompany my gyro, but she didn't order them, then she explained the gyro does not come with fries, to which I explained that's why I ordered them. The gyro is not served in a manner that will allow you to eat it like a sandwich but is served flat on a platter. The blond bartender failed to place a flag on our table or give us a set up, The clientele seems to have shifted lower on the scale to unsavory--guys who ride battery powered bikes, most likely because they lost their license, who seem to have a coveted place in the eyes of the bartender. Oh, yeah, we also smelled a pungent order of a just legalized substance several times while watching the game. We will not return. read more

They're smash burgers they're french fries and their onion rings are divine. They're Gyro is delicious and their fish and chips. Oh my goodness to die for the drinks are really good too. read more

Dudes, this may have been the most enlightening experience that I've ever has whilst consuming massive amounts of beer. Andrew(?) The bartender was on point and the karaoke host kept shit going. I dont usually drink on monday, but now I might. read more

I love the vibe the new owner brought in! Still the same main stage but with some very cool upgrades :) and they now have the amazing Naughty Burgers menu which is such a win for Cottonwood! read more

I'm hearing they used to be quite lgbtq friendly, but far less so of late. Sad, but lots of talk of the vibe feeling much less welcoming.

Great place to come for a night cap. Great vibes. Highly recommend coming here. Full bar service and a stage where they play live music.

Happening bar! We came in on a Friday night around 11:00 pm and they had DJ ILL EGO playing some pretty good music! No need to get dressed up too much. People were in their sandals and flip flops but dressed up as well, so whatever you wear, you won't feel out of place. A very mixed crowd. The dance floor had lots of people enjoying themselves, dancing, laughing and having fun which made for some good people watching. There was a great vibe and atmosphere with fun colorful lights on the large dance floor. The bouncers checking us in were pretty cool as well, not the usual mean type of bouncers you find at other bars. I wanted a pina colada , but was told they don't make mixed drinks - definitely a beer and hard liquor type of bar. I ended up having cranberry juice. Fun crowd overall, there are also plenty of comfy sofas and the packed patio seemed like a popular hang out spot. There are other events which I'm down to check out including karaoke, bingo - which I'm told is a very fun time, and other fun activities. read more

Amazing everything! Music food everyone in the area please stop in! Best place in town!

Best bar in town! Great bartenders, lowest prices in town, awesome food. Looking forward to new ownership and all of his major improvements to the atmosphere and menu. read more

Friendly staff, fun patrons and an extensive karaoke catalog! We stopped by for a Friday night karaoke session after dinner on the main drag. This is easily the town hotspot at night, so do yourself a favor and head on over for a drink and a song. read more

Guy at the bar was rude. First time in and last time I will go. There's a reason the only people who stop in here are locals who are here because of lack of options. If you're here or passing through go ahead and pass this place. read more

Food was miserable. "Less in more" is something they should focus on. The hamburgers they serve are frozen, pre-made discs that are hidden beneath way too many unnecessary, greasy toppings, plus, they are served on the smallest little plate lined with paper, which tries its best to absorb all the grease, but fails, so just gets soggy and gross. Also, plastic silverware? Shame! They said the chicken tenders are amazing. Again, waaay to greasy and bland. The taste of the siracha sauce does not complement the chicken at all. In fact, it tastes a bit like they are hiding the the taste of old, near to expire chicken. They say the locals love the place, great, have it. There are better places to eat. read more

I can't believe that there is a live music venue.....in Cottonwood and even cooler that this place USED to be a church! REALLY nicely done with a great stage for the talent to play, a few "lounge areas" with couches and tables, and an open space that serves as a dance floor. There is also a perch for the audio controller. The bar area is very cool with a nice selection of craft brews on tap and some good wine offerings. The inside is very well lit: dark with very strategically placed lighting that really makes for an awesome atmosphere. The walls contain a lot of cool artwork so the whole place really is about art and community. I think it's awesome that these guys took a church and remade into something so cool. Everything inside is brank spanking new-the perfect place to take in some live music. Food can be ordered via phone from the barbeque place behind the venue. Items on the menu include pulled pork, hot dogs, brats, burgers and a few other bites to choose from. On the particular night I went in the band was a rock/blues group that rocked out some pretty good tunes. This is not typical Cottonwood where "live music" usually means a solo acoustic guitarist. Nothing wrong with that but I'm just not used to electric guitars, sax and keyboards. There is live music Thursday, Friday and Saturday. On Sundays there is "Church of Bluegrass" and there is ladies night on Wednesdays with a DJ spinning tunes. Main Stage is yet another amazing new business that is transforming this town into a destination unto itself. I am really looking to coming back here again next time I'm in the area. read more

Open atmosphere a plus!...not stuffy, the bartenders handle the crowds as well as the picky people that expect special treatment!...prices are cheaper than the local dive bar and they have patio for smoking or whatever. Not a hostile place read more

I cannot fully review this cool local spot because I haven't seen or heard any of the entertainment or been there on a busy night. My wife and I have had cocktails and eaten here. The food is pretty good for bar fare and reasonably priced. I would like to go back to sample some entertainment and see how things flow when it's really busy. So for now I will put up 5 stars so as not to lower its stellar review status. I will say I was somewhat surprised by the funky vibe and friendly staff although that was entirely consistent with the reviews I read here on Yelp. read more

OPEN SUNDAYS!!! Wife & I stopped in cuz we heard they had NFL Sunday Ticket...and wow! This place is the real deal! Rob (chef) & Stormy (bartender) were exceptionally hospitable! Had brunch when the place opened...great dishes offered! Wife had Eggs & Potatoes which was a great meal. Well seasoned and tasted great! I ventured for a little fun and got the Donut Waffle...and it didn't disappoint (need to have sweet-tooth)! For lunch, we had the Brats & Onions. AMAZING! Smoky chipotle and and sweet BBQ sauce...perfect! Place has a couple tasty craft beers...and of course some normal American stuff. Full bar with a great choice of liquors! read more

Went to this bar to play pool and have some drinks. Ordered a hot lemon water and a virgin bloody mary the bar tender said that the stuff for the bloody Mary's were already put away. She served 6-7 drinks to other patrons and we never even got our drinks or a second glance. We we're here at 9:00pm on May 19, 2022. Service was awful. read more

We came in for the rocky horror picture show annual event and everyone was having a good time, my whole group loved the drinks they made and the bar was fast so you didnt have to stand around long. Rebecca and Penny are amazing, can't wait to come back for the weekly Wednesday night bingo. (Not your Grandma's bingo) read more

When I heard this place opened I couldn't wait to go there. A sedona band called decker. seem to play there lots, and I couldn't wait to catch a show. The vibe is trendy but kinda hickish because it tries to look trendy (very clean, great ART, too) but then the people who come in work in Central AZ in farming, ranches, etc... it's a very cool crowd. Drink prices were pretty good and sound worked for a small off the road place. If you live in Central AZ, this is the place to hear music. Period. read more

Finally finally FINALLY!!!! A place to see live music in cottonwood!!!!!! Check it out peeps! Rockin good times!!! Have some BBQ at Tamara's BBQ, it's yummy!! read more

Great bar. Great stage. The friendliest staff at any bar in town. Anytime I want to go out on the town, this is always my preferred location for the night. Between DJs, Live Music, Open Mics, Karaoke, and comedy shows, there's always a bit of variety at this venue. Something for everyone during some point of the week. I've never had to worry about breaking the bank when I come to Main Stage, even when I order food! They just renovated to add a restaurant recently, and the food is great. Definitely above average for a local bar. I'm excited to see where their menu goes once they get trial and error out of the way. As a local musician, this venue is the best spot in town to perform. They're decked out with lighting, sound, a large stage, green room, back room, and a professional in-house audio engineer. This bar has only been a part of the local scene for just over a year, and the surprises keep on coming. I can't imagine getting tired of this place anytime soon. read more

Great atmosphere with live DJ! This is a great place to go for dancing and drinks. They have a really large area - dance floor for fun, bar tables for chatting, patio for enjoying weather or smoking, and art work to check out! We went this weekend and they were having a super hero party night - we just dropped in, so we were not in costume - but no fear - they gave us cool super hero sunglasses and wrist bands! It was pretty cool - even a power ranger DJ! read more

Been coming here for the rally every year. Stormy always takes good care of me and my friends. Fun place,great service,great people.

Fat Boys Chicago food connected to main stage is the closest you'll get to authentic beefs, hotdogs, and gyros. Best gyros in Arizona

Great music venue. Seen some awesome bands play here. Great spot for dancing too.

I have been going to the main stage for about a year. It's a great place for music. They have a lot of different artists here and I've yet to see a bad one. My favorite is the blues jam. Being an avid fan of the blues, it is the night for me. There's always a decent crowd there for chatting or dancing. I'm just there to listen and dance and people watch. They serve food, but I haven't eaten there yet. I hear it's good also. On any given night (Thurs) there are 3-5 people come in to play with the house band. There is a new guy in town that blows a great sax. He's not to be missed and he also sings. Makes for a great fit for Mike and the guys. It's guaranteed you'll have a great time. We'll be dancing until you get there to see for yourself. Jam is from 7-10. Peace. read more

Love this venue! I can't believe it is in Cottonwood. Wonderful sound and feel, really cool rotating local art in a little gallery, lovely patio. Great place to see bands when you want to get out of the Phoenix inferno. read more

Pool tables are a joke. All coin and not well kept. Not very comfortable seating. The treble is way to high when DJs play. You'd think that a music centered venue would have a better sound system. Each time we try to go we end up leaving. read more

Bloody Mary good. Strange menu but I finally chose the Gnocchi ala Mama. The meatball, sausage, shrimp and "Italian gravy" we're excellent but the Gnocchi were disappointing. Asked to turn down the music but then some guy came in and blasted it again! He also turned the channel on tv I was watching to some Barn saving show :( Went there for lunch and we were the only ones there the whole time. No desserts. Disappointing. read more
