I do love the Swizzle! As I mentioned before, drinks are strong and cheap. They also have a good selection of tequila and whiskey -- so that is appreciated. This last time I went to Swizzle it was on a Saturday night and I didn't get there until 10pm and it was off the chain with no where to park or sit. When people get talking it is really loud inside and you can't hear the touchtunes. People were getting wild and that was super fun. There was a also a little food stand outside in the parking lot, which is really good for a bunch of drinking folks!! read more

Swizzle is the kind of dive bar you hope to stumble into -- and never want to leave. Plenty of TVs with every game on, great prices, and a laid-back crowd that makes it easy to relax and have fun. The staff here absolutely crush it -- friendly, quick with a drink, and they make you feel like a regular even if it's your first time walking in. The place has that perfect dive-bar charm: cool lighting, fun decor, and just the right amount of energy without feeling overcrowded. Tonight they even had a food contest going on, which made the whole night a blast. Honestly, I've seen a few of those one-star reviews and can't help but think those folks must've had a bad day -- because Swizzle is exactly what a neighborhood bar should be: chill, affordable, and full of good vibes. If you're looking for a spot to watch the game, hang with friends, or just unwind after work, this is it. Swizzle is an easy five stars. read more

I stumbled into the swizzle inn on accident and it happened to be one of the best decisions. We saw the name and we immediately parked. I will be coming back. This is where real locals go. Ashley Vicky and Dale made the entire experience. I bought a hat and I'll be back on Sunday's. read more

The young lady behind the bar was super friendly. I had my Dive Bar shirt on for the Swizzle Inn...cool, laid back local "dive bar" vibe! Loved it! read more

Swizzle Inn - Dive Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Fun hidden gem in central Phoenix, there's lots of regulars that come through and it seems like a nice community of people. The drinks are reasonably priced and the bartenders do a great job taking orders. The vibes are chill, it's a very low key spot and now that I think about it, I'm not sure if they serve food or snacks. I feel like this is a good final spot for a night as they're open later than most bars in this area. read more

Great experience every time I come here. The staff is always professional, the atmosphere feels safe, and the service is on point. Shoutout to Deo--he really stands out whether he's working security or behind the bar. Always attentive, friendly, and on top of everything. Highly recommend! read more

Ashley, Vicki and Dale are the best f**king bartenders ever!!! I love the Swizzle Inn

Great dive bar. Cheap drinks. Happy hour specials. The owner made a potato soup that was quite tasty. They sell bags of chips, jerky and popcorn but no other food. You can bring in outside food though! Char was an awesome bartender!! read more

Went in. Stood at the well. Bartender (some guy w glasses) acknowledged us. Immediately focused on new people who walked into the bar and took their order first. Big no no. We just left. read more

Love this spot!! Friendly staff and a good local scene. My friends from Phoenix re recommended it to me and I've gone a few times now. read more

Swizzle Inn - Dive Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Was visiting the area and stopped in for a beer since we love dive bars. The bar was ok, but the locals and bartender were the worst. Ordered 2 beers but couldn't get her attention after for anything else. I wanted to buy a shirt but after trying to get her attention multiple times I gave up. A local started calling my husband an asshole so we left asap and didnt even finish the beers. We had a card on file so we left and after I noticed I was charged $12 for 2 beers. Would not recommend this place at all, not friendly at all unless you're a local. read more

Quite simply one of the best dive bars in Phoenix. Nice staff and patrons and the lights are amazing. Very good drink prices as well.

Greatest dive bar in Phoenix! We love everything about it and the bartenders are all awesome. You won't find a better neighborhood bar to hangout at where everyone is always welcome. The service is great but not hand and foot. Don't be rude and be respectful to everyone around you. The ambiance is old school and don't miss the holiday lights! read more

I can't remember the last time I've been here. Had a few friends coming to town and decided to revisit our old stomping grounds. Never thought I would be out till after the late evening news on a random Tuesday LOL. The vibe was chill. The bartender was quick and attentive. She had a fun and witty personality you don't see much of these days. I would definitely comeback. read more

Definitely a fun laid back vibe. The drinks are reasonable and it's a fun place to come with friends. The bar tenders are friendly.

Love this bar, been coming here for the past 12 years. I've had the same bartenders most of the time and definitely have my favorites. However, this past Tuesday night just was not it. I came in and sat at the bar for about 12 minutes before a bartender emerged from who knows where with black gloves on that NEVER came off. I'm in the industry and I typically come on a Monday night, but after working an 8 day stretch I went in on a Tuesday. I thought Megan was working and was surprised to find the bar somber, and dead of energy;life. Furthermore, once the bartender emerged, with long hair, don't know her name, but also didn't know how to say. As my gf and I said "hi, how are you?" And all we got was "what do you to drink?" ...... once we told her what we wanted, she got it and disappeared never to be seen of again until who know when. We only planned to have that one drink and leave because the vibe was not inviting. However, we met a mom and daughter here and a guy named Brad and we all played pool and it made the time better. Another guy came in and I was like "it'll be probably about 10 minutes before the bartender emerges" and it was just about that. Later one the bar back/ security guy came in and was like "where's the bartender?" And I was like "no idea, have fun hunting." .... Anyways the black gloves never came off and if we hadn't met the people we would've left right away, and if not for the bar back having great energy and personality we wouldn't have stayed as long as we did. We love this bar, but will not be back on a Tuesday. read more

Went for a couple of drinks, the bartender was horrible! Nonstop texting, she would go in the corner by the exit door and just text! Half the bar had empty drinks and she didn't care at all! One customer asks her something about a repair (I think) he ask did your mom want it set on 1 or 2, her reply was "I don't give a fuck)! He said if you don't care I don't and went back to drinking! I'm assuming her mom is the owner or she had this guy do some work for her mom? Either way, I think someone yell to Courtney I need a drink. This was yesterday afternoon (Tuesday). Hard to go back with such shitty service and bad attitude!! This place use to be great with very friendly BT's! read more

I had a great experience with Dennis. I live in the area and come often as a regular. He brings a whole new fun dynamic to the crew. I look forward to seeing him more at The Swizz's. Cheers! read more

Caught up with a girlfriend over drinks at Swizzle Inn and had a great time. The location's super convenient, and the place has a cozy, laid-back vibe. The bar was packed with people chatting and laughing, which made it feel really fun and welcoming. They've got a full bar, which was awesome, and the staff was super friendly--service was solid all around. I loved the red, white, and blue decor too; it gave off that classic American dive bar feel in the best way. Definitely a cool spot to hang out. It can get a little busy, but that just adds to the energy. Would totally go back! read more

Raymond was amazing! Took care of us and our table and made us feel at home. The vibes are amazing and I love the level of service.

RIP Swizzle..... We were regular patrons for years. And I get owners wanting out to move on. New owners are more corporate and have made few visible changes BUT it feels like the movie where the toy store is dying. It has lost its special sparkle. Went for Sunday fun day and it was morose! read more

Great atmosphere, fun "dive" bar. Great food and service. The gift shop was great also.

You can't go wrong with this welcoming dive bar. Great, inexpensive drinks, billiards, darts and music... plus all your favorite neighbors. The bartenders were friendly and fast and the community is diverse. read more

I just wrote a Google review and I would have to say again the bartenders are horrible in this place. This was my first time going here just on a fun adventure and waited 45 min for a drink and I just left not even getting one because how awful they were. Once one of the bartenders finally got around to us was 20 min and she said she was going off shift and the bartender that was there can help us . Waited another 25 minutes and never got served so just left. What made it even worst was the bartender that said she was going off shift was still serving the regulars there so for you non regulars good luck on getting any services !!!! They need to have negative stars on these reviews because they don't deserve not even a 1 !!! read more

As advertised it's a dive bar. Reasonably priced drinks and very nice bartender. Service was efficient and dirty glasses were cleared quickly. read more

Great atmosphere! Decent wine for a dive bar! Great service as well. Will be back with more friends!

This was my neighbor fave. I moved to Michigan a few years back and always reminisce about the fun adventures there. The atmosphere is very laid back, casual, and although this place is dark and dated, I'll go back because the PEOPLE and SERVICE are wonderful. read more

Asshole of an owner.. some bartenders are cool, but a handful of them love to get wasted on the clock and try to double charge you or threaten to kick you out for doing nothing... read more

Great little bar, and if I'm here alone (like if hubby's out golfing) I always feel safe here. I love that the owner & bartenders don't put up with BS. This bar is about having fun, laughs and overall a good time. If folks roll in & misbehave they are asked to leave. It's a drama free zone and it's our go to place. All are welcome here! read more

This is a laid back small dive bar. Came here with a group of friends. They have one dart board and one pool table. Filled with people if all age groups. Bartender was nice. Came to table to get first drink order but after that you had to go to the bar to order. Once the bar started to fill up it took awhile to get a drink. They went to regulars first regardless of who came to bar first. Otherwise had a great time here, would definitely return. It's dark inside this place so be prepared to squint when leaving. You'll for sure be swaggering out of the swizzle inn. read more

I wasn't gonna do this but you deleted my Facebook comment so here goes. See attached photo. Those negative reviews aimed totally at the owner are completely true. The bar itself and 90% of the beautifully diverse people who go there all the time are great. As are all of the bartenders. Except owner daughter we call her Frowny Pants. She literally sucks the life out of the place when she comes waddling in. You can hear it. Her mother, the owner, is the same. If you can go in there and ignore them you should be ok. The daughter with her condescending I'm better than you attitude is beyond sickening. And don't cross mom whatever you do because getting 86'd from here is real easy. Good Tipper or not. read more

We enjoy coming to this fun and cozy bar with friendly staff, good drinks. Bathrooms could use a refresh. Overall a good atmosphere.

Came in with our friends after a brunch filled morning. So finding this awesome hidden gem was perfection. Neither of us had been here, but we all know we will for sure be back as soon as we can. The bartender was super friendly. There were clearly some locals who had the place packed every weekend. But we found our high top and got great drinks at great prices. I really loved the divey atmosphere but look at the pics, the look is just awesome with the lighting. Definitely Yelp picture worthy. Hence why it's on my rolling pic collage on my profile! ;) We are planning a visit soon. read more

Nice crowd, Great Bartenders! I'll go again, next visit to Phoenix! I like the little bench outside. Everyone seemed so friendly!

I love the Christmas decorations here, it's like Christmas exploded all over the room. Affordable drinks and an unstuffy atmosphere. I don't go to Phoenix much but might stop by here again in the future if I'm around. read more
