Pleasantly surprised to have such a great time! I have passed this bar everyday since I moved. I've never seen the parking lot empty. The rumors are true, it's great! We had so much fun! The crowd was a great demographic mix, and wasn't boring. We arrived early to find a live band, the drinks were not overpriced, we played a game of pool for $1, and the atmosphere was booming! I would've loved to see a better restroom, newer seating and upgraded areas but I think this place is better rustic than modern. The DJ was playing horrible music in the beginning, and took to long to change songs but it got better. New spot unlocked! Thank you Roman's! read more

Roman's Oasis - Alt. Bar - Dive Bars Near Me - Goodyear, Arizona

Such a huge dive bar We went for bar good drinks and line dancing We had fantastic service and a lot of fun There are so many different rooms in this bar They only take cash !! So crazy read more

We went on karaoke night and had the best time. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by one of the waitresses and it continued to get better from there. I've never been so from the outside, I thought this place was going to be small. It was not. If you love to take pictures while having a good time, there is no shortage on what and where you can take it. We had reserved a table for 15 and they accommodated as very well. I got the Happy Hour meal which were the wings. They were very good as well. If you're going to participate with karaoke, I suggest you get on that list quick. I loved the atmosphere, we set between the pool table and the where the DJ was. If you want to enjoy yourself with friends and family you can. Kids are welcome up until a certain time, I believe it was 9:30. Being from KY, I even saw a representation from home. read more

Great dive bar! Country western dance lessons in a Monday night. Didn't eat there but food look like your basic bar comfort food

The is a very cool dive bar. We stopped in for a beer. It's bigger inside than it looks. Pool tables, stage and dance floor, multiple bars. Bartender was friendly. read more

If I only had one sentence to review Roman's Oasis it would be as a dive bar with sassy bartenders and great food. Walking in you'll see this is truly a dive bar but looking around there is a dance floor, a dining area, as well as the traditional dive bar area. The decor is somewhat mismatch, but it fits the tone of the establishment. Honestly if the food sucked, it would be worth coming here just to have a cheap drink and the fun attitude of the bartenders. Just being cash because it is a cash only establishment and the ATMs don't always work right. read more

Wow! We came from out of town thinking dive food and service but we were pleasantly surprised with above and beyond service and the best food we've had in days! Everyone left there like "did we just eat that" it was delicious! My turkey melt with green chilies was seriously amazing! They have stiff drinks and a great selection of N/A beer! Well done! The place itself is fun. Something new everywhere you look. We will be back next time we're in town. read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT DIVE! It is a piece of crap in a run down shack and the food and services were the worst I've ever experienced. It took 25 minutes to get a drink (and it was watered down) and the St. Paddy's day meal (3/2026) was a mushy spud and the toughest corned beef I've ever had in my life. The place is dirty and the floors and step-ups are very scary. There was only one server available and she did the best she could but they needed four more servers. We had made reservations for 30 people two weeks before but it was in vain. This piece of a crap restaurant needs to be inspected by Arizona's food inspectors. Debbie C. read more

Been there many times over the past decade but haven't been there the past 18 months until about 3 weeks ago. The beer was still cheap and cold but my girlfriend ordered a 6oz glass of wine...$12... really! Won't ever be going back! read more

Food was on point the times I've gone, but took a little long to be delivered on not so busy days. Service overall was great, good atmosphere and ambiance. They were cool with MC Colors and kuttes. Greatly appreciate that from the staff and ownership. Not sure if it's changed. read more

Check this place out for the first time. Didn't really get to try their food from what I heard. It's not too bad. The service is good. They do get a little busy sometimes which is great for the bar making money. The ambience was great. They had a live band going, which was totally awesome. The music was phenomenal. Place was decently crowded And you could still get on the dance floor and get some dancing in. But I do recommend this place if you up for some good country live music and some good eats and drinks. Can't wait to go back. read more

Roman's Oasis - Seating area - Dive Bars Near Me - Goodyear, Arizona

Went to Roman's for the first time for lunch on a Saturday. The owner (Roman's daughter) stopped by our table and chatted with us and told us about the history of the spot, which was interesting to hear. It is a local haunt that has been around for decades and is hopefully here to stay. I ordered the Dynamite with fries and my lunch mate ordered the Southwest burger with waffle fries and we were very happy with both. The dynamite had some kick but if you're used to spicy food it is the perfect amount! The waffle fries were also delicious. Our meals were definitely a step up from regular bar food. The atmosphere was fun and divey. We can't wait to return for country dancing some night in the future! read more

Cool little spot...a little dark with the lighting but I guess it's part of the ambiance. Service was good and enjoyed the off track wagering. read more

The best dive/fun bar/restaurant! From the outside, I can see why people would just pass by. Inside there four large rooms, table games, off site horse racing, 2, maybe 3, full bars and great live bands with plenty of room on the dance floor. The restrooms are also very clean. My go to is the delectable Patty Melt, upgrade to tater tots! The mango riblets and coconut shrimps on the appetizer menu are plenty enough for lunch. The bartender/waitress (Jessica) never missed a beat with drinks or our orders. Love Roman's! read more

I have always had amazing experiences at Romans I remember being younger and always passing by just thinking it was some random bar until I turned 21 and actually went in and found a place that I feel comfortable in just to go and have a few drinks and dance and enjoy myself. You always typically see the same bartenders, which is great with an amazing feeling to see a familiar face and then the one day I decide I'm gonna eat here. I was so surprised to find out how good their food was truly amazing some of the best burgers I've had. I would even get the shrimp again. The waffle fries are amazing. read more

Better than average food, pleasant, friendly staff, great HonkeyTonk vibe and good entertainment and activities such as karaoke, line dancing etc. Love Myra, the owner. She's the bomb! Harve Latson read more

I love this place. Good food, love the interior as it reminds me of the mom and pop dive bars where I grew up. Service is solid and attentive. Great food prices. Just bring cash. This is a cash only business. My wife and I go here for date night all the time read more

I have driven by this location a hundred times and final had the chance to stop. This location only takes CASH. There are signs but I still wish we would have known before we went in. Yes they have atm machienes but they charge $3 fees. So just a heads up. We walked in and were a bit confused by the layout. There is several different areas-cowboy line dancing, a dj, pool, and shuffleboard to name a few. We came in during happy hour and were able to get a delicious margarita and an 805. Then we moved tables because there was a large party going on. The waitress was totally accomodating with us. She explained how everything worked and what to try off the menu. For sure order the wings! They were the best yet on the west side of the valley. Seriously delicious! We tried a mexican candy shot which was delicious and a cinamon toast shot which hit the spot too. I wish I would have asked our waitresses name, she had adorable curly blondish hair and was super helpful! We will totally be back! read more

My fiance and I stopped by here after our date night and it was happening! Large crowds of people in every room. Our favorite was the live country music of course! My only suggestion would be to please start using a card system. It's CASH ONLY.... read more

When my daughter wanted to plan a surprise birthday party for her husband's 40th, she asked his friends where to have it. The overwhelming response was Roman's! My SIL & his friends have going there for years. I was surprised to find out that the restaurant is actually a 100 years old! The restaurant was very helpful in helping my daughter set up and arrange for this party. They blocked off the back room and let her come in beforehand and bring decorations They let us bring a cake in as well. They were just overall very accommodating, which was very appreciated for such a large group . The actual restaurant/bar has a Country Western vibe to it, complete with Country Western dancing. Children are allowed in until 9:30p at night which made it easy for us to all bring our little ones for at least awhile. The food and drinks were really good and fairly priced . THE RESTAURANT IS CASH ONLY, but this doesn't seem to affect business, as it was packed with people ( in addition to our group) My son- in-law was born in Phoenix and this was a perfect place to have his 40th birthday party because he & his friends have literally grown up going there. Thank you for all the help with our celebration, Roman's! read more

"DON'T PLACE BETS HERE UNLESS YOU DON'T WANT TO BE PAID" This review is only applicable to the off track betting. Stopped in to place a bet on Kentucky derby day. I was lucky enough to win with Sovereignty. Came back the following Wednesday (they are closed Monday and Tuesday), 5/7, to cash my ticket. Rich, the supervisor, says "oh! This is too much. I don't have enough money. You have to come back Saturday after I go to the bank on Friday." I came back on Saturday, 5/10, afternoon. Rich uses the same line on me again, "oh! I don't have enough money. I didn't go to the bank. You have to come back Wednesday, 5/14. I will go to the bank and you have my word that I will pay you." Good news! I just came back from there today, 5/14 and finally got paid, but with a reaction. I come in, give Rich my ticket, he shakes his head and started with oh this is too much (same line from the other 2 times), then he looks up at me and catches himself. He says "oh! I did promise you that I would pay you today." I said "you did!" He said "give me a minute I have to get the money." The bet was $50 to win $499. This is a cash business!! How is it that you don't have enough cash to payout on any given day? You have plenty of cash, when you take in all the bets!! It appears that Rich runs a very scammy business. I hope this review will help others who are thinking about coming here for off track betting. As for the bar, food, and services, all have been good and decent. I would recommend. read more

Made a stop by here this afternoon and by the looks of the outside it is a lot bigger inside then you would think , when we got there it was not busy at all so just grabbed a seat near everyone that was betting on horse races and that was a show in itself definitely a good time listening to everyone rooting for there horses. They have several different spaces to sit and relax . Now onto the food We started with the fried pickles and fries which were absolutely great as well as some extra crispy wings which were amazing, I ended up trying the big bubba sandwich which was a big sandwich and very good , I also added the onion rings which were cooked to perfection definitely a place I'll be heading back to can't wait to try something new. read more

Well, if you're from Connecticut and have visited the Monkey Farm, this an identical twin 2500 miles to the southwest. Great gathering spot for the locals. Bands and DJ's add to the fun. I don't know why these places are labeled "dive bars" Romans is a blast. Don't miss this joint! read more

Love this bar!! All the bartenders are awesome, karaoke is great, and the line dancing is so fun!! There are three bars packed into one, you have an area with games and jukebox, an area with a DJ, or karaoke and dancing, and an area with live band and line dancing!! They have dart boards, shuffleboard, pool tables, and gambling (pull tabs and horse betting). I have had the food a couple times, and it has been delicious. The wings and the wraps are where it's at! read more

Great local bar and fun environment. DJ on the hip Hop side needs to either go or start changing his playlist though, everyone is tired of hearing garbage. Same music in order, every single night. But other than that, the bathrooms situation is pretty bad lol. Great staff and drinks though! read more

Awesome dive bar! Came in here randomly for a retirement party. They have pool, darts and karaoke available. Really divey which I love! Prices were reasonable but the service was pretty slow for drinks. Overall, we had a great time! Will be back for some more shenanigans in the future. read more

Mind you I went in after lunch and before happy hour so it was the calm before the storm. I hadn't been here for YEARS but glad that the bartender was a friendly gal, the place was clean, and the AC was blowing. I had wings and fries special and they were really good I was bummed I got to the end of them but it was a perfect complement to a cold beer. Looking forward to coming back and dance read more

Worst burger I ever ate. How can a thin burger not be cooked? It was brown on the outside a red raw on inside. Pleasant server. The place is what is known as Dive Bar. It could use a little cleaning. read more

What a place to be entertained! It's cool! CASH ONLY!!! Lots to see with the decor and patrons. There are three sides/rooms to this place; each with its own bar. When you enter, it's a regular bar setup with tvs. The second room plays country music, while the third room plays a mixture of genres. There was a GREAT country band when I visited. People were not afraid to dance. The place is very busy after 9. Table service was horrible! We had a problem getting drinks and food. The waitress kept forgetting little things.. like the menu, drinks, to take our order, condiments.... The people watching and music made up for it! There are pool tables and multiple dance floors. Dirt/gravel parking lot, which is small and fills up quickly. Try to rideshare if possible. ID check at the door. No exceptions! read more

Now, I am far from a country boy. There is verifiable footage of me attempting to line dance at a Yelp event, and I was the worst of them all. But you won't need that here because the actual country aficionados are in short supply. Without much further ado, here's all you need to know about this place: There's one dimly lit venue that books very skilled country music artists. There's another room where people who dress in country clothes are listening to rap all night with people of all ages and styles. This is by far the busier of the two. Yes, it is cash only. But what kind of adult can't just use a debit card and withdraw some? Yes, it closes before 2am. They are doing you a favor because it takes forever to get back home and your Uber will need a head start. Come as you are, bring a few twenties, and get rowdy! read more

Unique place! Food was very good. We ate early, so we missed the live music but it seems like it would be fun!

Stopped here for after hour drinks and dancing with friends. It was our first time going inside an establishment since our Covid vaccinations. The place was packed (no masks, no social distancing - no trace of the last 14 months) but we were able to get a table in the corner. Everyone working was very helpful/friendly and there are a million entertainment options here: Darts, Karaoke, dancing, pool. Fun crowd of all ages and race and I can only speak about their ice water (non drinker here) but it was pretty great! We didn't eat but the food looked decent and plenty were ordering. The décor was a lot of fun to look at. Clearly it's been around for many decades and has a great following. read more

This was such a fun quirky stop. Definitely a dive bar, the the drinks were cheap and the staff friendly. We came back on Friday night for the band and it was a blast! Big crowd, country music and lots of dancing read more

Bring your cowgirl hat!! Western vibes - lots of boots and hats. Nothing fancy. Great wings. Welcoming staff. CASH only - but there is an ATM read more

First time here, have lived here in Goodyear over a year, driven past all the time. today decided to try it out, the oasis is an older place but nostalgic, it was not very busy. the two of us ordered a beer (in plastic cups)! Not what I preferred. ordered calamari dish and meatloaf dish, food was very good and presented nicely for a bar and grill! the garlic bread would have been perfect but so much salt I and friend had to scrape it off to eat it. for the amount of patrons in the place, service was slow but people were nice! I will probably go back but no garlic bread! read more

Friendly waitress, good bartenders, fast service and cheap beers. How can you go wrong? Actually, the food was great as well. Place looks run down, but service was exceptional. Live music on the weekends and an active dance floor. Give it a try. read more
