I love a good dive bar and this definitely is in the running for that! My only problem was a went on a really dead night (Monday)and there was hardly anyone there, but on the flip side I had full control of the TouchTunes! They had lots of fun looking drinks but I just stuck with a vodka/cran. It was strong but not overwhelming like some dive bars. I loved all the funny signs around the bar and the bartender, Joy was very friendly. I want to check out another night when there are more people. Just as a side note, the parking lot was a bit sketchy -- I arrived around 730pm on a Monday so it wasn't very late -- There is a weird split in the parking lot one side is the Aldi side (which seemed more populated with people going in and out of the store) and the other side is a bunch of shops that were closed . There were some interesting people chilling out in their cars and yelling to each other when I came out - I was by myself and felt a little sketched by it, but I was fine. read more

Fun place! Visiting from out of town and Closed the place. Met the locals, Emily was awesome, and the iguana balls were delicious. Not a fancy place in anyway shape or form but was fun, inviting atmosphere with tvs for us to watch games. Food was bar food. read more

They had so many beers to choose from, though we all ordered mixed drinks. Our drinks were tasty, as well as the nuggets and pickles. Great service and vibe. read more

Love this local bar! We used to always go to Ernie's when we wanted a few drinks, but I'm so glad to have found Paradise Lounge as a replacement! Nicole and Edgar and great bartenders and always make us feel welcomed. The drinks are very fairly priced and they have Touch Tunes which is always a plus! I hesitate to write this review because I feel like this place is one of those "best kept secrets" but they deserve it, so go check it out! read more

The food, service and ambiance are great :) it's a perfect place to grab a drink and relax.

my fav local bar! cheap drinks and the sweetest bartenders:) very cozy vibe, nice lil dive bar read more

Paradise Lounge - Lounges Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Cheap drinks, friendly patrons. Cool neighborhood sports bar. Nice dark and cold in the summertimes .

Little hole in the wall lounge with great service and prices. The bar and the bathrooms were extremely clean and I can totally appreciate the "nice vibes only" policy. They even offer a cute little menu with really affordable snacks and apps. Will definitely be dropping off my husband here at my next visit to HomeGoods. read more

Love this place! The bartenders are always great! Definitely will be back! The service is always fast and efficient!

Great Bar - staff is cool and friendly - several of my friends and I refer to this as "Home Base" - any time day or night!!!

Best bar in PHX. Owner is a coug supporter. Great spot to grab a drink with friends. Staff is super friendly and welcoming.

First time here, I don't care what the service or atmosphere is like, all I need to know is there's a coug flag on the wall. Go Cougs. Best bar ever. read more

Paradise Lounge - Lounges Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I was staying nearby to celebrate a friend graduating from ASU in early December. We wanted to find a nice locals bar. This place didn't disappoint. Clean, nice staff, and the locals appeared to be chill. TVs had Monday Night Football, and the place looks like a good place to watch games as well. If life brings me back to Scottsdale, I'll visit again! read more

Seriously love this place! Great drinks, the service is fantastic! We never have to wait to get drinks or food! Great atmosphere and good size patio! read more

So I'm not big on negative reviews but occasionally it's warranted. I have only been to the bar twice and each time, either myself or a friend were asked to leave. While they cited "too much alcohol" they certainly continued to serve well beyond that point, and it only became an issue once the "usuals" started to get defensive and mean. Both times there have been groups of people who really didn't give this a good "dive bar, cheers feeling" but rather, were total jerks. That's a bummer. My advice if you want to go: already be a little drunk. Go w a big group of friends, as you won't be welcomed otherwise...at least you'll have your support system. ‍‍‍ Good characteristics: great IPA beer on tap, for cheap! Love the karaoke music. Love the board games idea...but the unfriendly attitudes from "usual suspects" and some of the staff does preclude me from anticipating any future returns. Plenty of dive bars in town...moving on cheers! Ps...thanks for returning my missing phone that somehow made it "behind the tank of one of the bathroom toilets" *wink wink* sure... read more

The cleanest "dive bar" style place I've been. Great priced and staff. Such a hidden gem that you're lucky to find!!

If you are looking for a cozy bar with a great happy hour you must visit paradise lounge. Our server Chandler was the only server/bartender working who was a literal ray of sunshine! She handled the bar with grace and ease and mad everyone feel welcome. This is a great spot! read more

Love it here. The place feels like a scene straight out of "Cheers". Lots of regulars, friendly bar staff, reasonable prices. My first pick for a few drinks out. read more

This has quickly become my favorite watering hole. I've been looking for the perfect place since moving to the Valley in the early 90s. I've found it. Great prices, service and music entertainment. I hesitated to write a review out of selfish reasons. I just done want everyone to know about the special oasis in the desert. #dukeofeats read more

Paradise Lounge - Front sign - Lounges Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Had a drink and a White Castle slider for the first time! Great. Great service. You can tell the employees really like their job and enjoy their customers. Chandler the young lady who helped us is soooo friendly and helpful. You'll really like her. Nice relaxing place to leave your pains and headaches outside. read more

We love this place, we hadn't been there for over two years. We tried last year but weren't in the area. This year we made a point to come back because we enjoyed it so much. Nothing but a nice quiet place to have a drink and a small menu in the afternoon. We walked in and sat down and Nicole the bartender said, "You are Mike and Cheryl", she remembered our names. That was to me unbelievable. The point being she is a remarkable bartender. The place is still great! Stop in if in the area, some twice and the will probably remember what you drink. The place is clean and in the afternoon a quiet place to have a drink or some food. read more

If you're into dive bars with a great patio space and excellent service, Paradise is a hidden gem. Actually, it is literally hidden, tucked in a back corner space of the plaza building behind a Baskin Robbins. There is a store front sign on the plaza to help new patrons find this bar too. Beer prices are very reasonable but there is a $15 minimum for using your debit or credit card here. However, if you don't make that minimum the bartender will charge you for another drink and hand you over a token. I haven't seen tokens in a while and I get kind of excited when a bar hands them out. You can grab some bar bites here too but Paradise does not have a full kitchen. Fried veggies, pizza, and fried mozzarella sticks are just some of the bites you can order. The Paradise patio out back is fully enclosed with rain tarps and fans for the summer and heaters for the winter. This dark space is smoking friendly and also has two televisions, usually broadcasting a sporting event. Bring your games and friends, or make some new ones with the friendly patrons here. Also, this is a great space to enjoy and beer and a book by yourself. read more

Just what we were looking for. Easy place to grab a simple beverage and get in and out fast. Starting to become a go-to. Fun crowd too.

It's a good place to grab a pint or two at a local bar. Nothing fancy, but drinks, finger foods and sports with friendly staff.

Great local bar with awesome service, fair prices and enough food if needed. Great go to spot to meet up for a drink or two.

This place is always a blast with incredibly personable staff. The board games and little late night snacks/ iguana balls are a great bonus!

great time at paradise lounge! terrific bartenders, not too busy on a Friday night, delicious food, and cheap drinks. Couldn't be more satisfied with my visit, loved these guys! Special appreciation to my guy Matt for fantastic service read more

Great and friendly service by Sara Thank you for a welcoming friendly environment Look forward to my next visit read more

It's been 12 years since I reviewed this place and let me tell you, it's only gotten better. The ownership really cares about the customer experience and it shows. I don't live in AZ anymore, but I stop in every time I'm in town. Feels like home. read more

Stopped in for a cold one. Great price. Staff was friendly to everyone who walked in. The place looks like it's been around for decades, but it was spotless. Bartender was attentive to disinfecting after patrons left, and the bathroom floor looked like you could eat pizza off of it. Well done! read more

Cool little dive bar. I went during happy hour, and had two whiskey sours for $7 bucks. I'll definitely come back. It feels like Cheers.

This is a dive bar in a strip mall. Great service and cheap drinks. Didn't have an opportunity to try the food, but will next time.

Very rude service. I own a bar in Phoenix and I'd fire everyone that worked here if they worked with me. Very unpleasant. They seem very loyal to their own, but don't seem to want to take on new customers. Beware. read more

Chandler rocks! Friendly bar. Nice outside patio as well

Went to meet a friend there. Got there and they were giving last call at 11:45. Always was the place to go after work. We'll just have to find somewhere else. read more

This tiny piece of Paradise is my second home! Think Cheers but with even cooler people. Local dive bar with class. Every bartender is family. But Sara said i have to say she's the best LOL. If you come just be nice or one of us will ask you to leave nicely once! Enjoy read more

Sorry but I have to be the voice of dissent/reason here. Had probably the worst bar experience I've ever had at 'Paradise' last night. The beer (Blue Moon on draft) tasted old with a strange aftertaste and even the Coke tasted nasty (all 4 of us left our glasses all but untouched after the first taste). The worst part, though, was the service. Rather than seeming curious or concerned about the Coke that tasted like dishwater, the bartender rolled her eyes and made it seem a huge bother to try another glass (which also tasted bad). Must have been too much trouble, because there were all of about 5 other people in the whole place. Yikes -- Won't be back. read more

Meet me behind the Baskin Robbins and I'll fix your little red wagon..... That's exactly what will happen when you walk into this place. Small, cozy, the game is always on, the juke box has great music, they do Karaoke (against Jen's, one of the owner's better judgement) and they have live music on Saturday's. If you want a place to go get your drink on, play some domino's, or just relax, this is a great little bar. The regulars are as nice as they come and they are definitely loyal. The bar just changed hands a little over a year ago and the couple running it are fantastic and have spruced the place up a bit with some new paint, new TV's and a nice patio so you can drink and get your smoke on if you so desire. If you are looking for a hang out after work or on the weekend, this place definitely fits the bill. Just look behind the Baskin Robbin's cuz it is tucked away. read more

If you're familiar with drink prices in the Scottsdale / PV area, you'll be happy you found Paradise Lounge. Drinks are priced at where you'd expect them to be priced. They have a smoking patio and a couple dart boards as well a live music a few days a week. The only small complaint I have is the lack of a food menu. They have small appetizers but if you want to watch the game with a nice sandwich or pizza, you need to bring it with you, which they actually allow/encourage. Also the owner and staff are really great as well. Oh, by the way, it's a Chicago bar, just in case that's not your thing. read more

The Paradise Lounge is the perfect place for people who are easy going, relaxed, and just want to have a good time. The bartenders are friendly and fast, the prices are fair, and the bathrooms are as clean as you can get in a bar. There is a good-sized patio in the back that allows you to sit outside and get to know all the regulars who come to this place. Whether you come to the Lounge once a week or once a year, you are treated like family. If you need some entertainment, come in every other Sunday night for karaoke. They have board games and cards you can play. There are bands there several nights a week. Or just listen to the stories of the people around you, they won't mind! This is definitely a place to go when you need to have a drink to relax. read more
