Several visits. Excellent bartenders, fun crowd, all sports, decent prices, ok food. Good parking. Clean, roomy. What's not to like? read more

They are no longer open closed with no explanation of why or if for ever l looked on line nothing

Dark, dingy and sometimes a smidgin depressing; but, it's certainly a Tempe staple dive bar. Had some good times here. Definitely a step up from the palo verde across the street read more

This bar is insane. I go here often, at different times. I have stopped in during my lunch and I go in the evenings as well. The day girls are great. However, the owner--I think it is the owner--can be heard from the kitchen screaming at the manager/girlfriend. It makes it so uncomfortable in there. Also, what a piece of shit, who screams at someone like that. The bartender working this week on the night shift is not good. I am not sure if she was drunk or just terrible at her job but it was awful. I read more

Came over here to hangout with one of my friends. The bar looked very clean and spacious, had a big tv near the door w sports on. It was Tuesday so only like 4 people were in there which for us was great. The bartender was a very sweet girl and served us quickly n kept tabs on us which was nice. They do have a digital jukebox but unfortunately I couldnt use my TouchTunes or AMI app to select songs which was unfortunate. They don't serve food but I noticed you could bring your own in which is totally fine lol. We'd definitely go back. read more

Should say online under 21 can not come in! Drove here and wasted our time to try and watch a game!

Great place if just looking for a drink and some conversation, unpretentious friendly and speedy service!

Lauren is a Wonder Bartender. I wonder how she does it so well. Excellent bartender and prepares food fresh when ordered. The Wings are BONKERS good. This is a great nearly divey bar. The service, wings and price are all spectacular. Treat yourself to a TG experience you deserve excellence. read more

Great wings! Second time stopping in. Found it by accident first time. Not much to look at but nice people and great food.

The best Mango Habanero wings, and Pizza. Pizza is always made the way we love it. Cheese Pizza, Pepperoni Pizza, Philly Cheese Steaks, Spaghetti, and many more foods. You'll love this place and make it your go-to place. read more

Tailgate Sports Bar & Grill - Pizza box. - Sports Bars Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Ive stopped in a few times this week and each time I order the same beer, however each visit I'm charged something different despite no happy hour here. I dropped in yesterday around 430pm and had one single draft dos equis and it was $10, a price raise since the day before, something is off here. If you are feeling like going to a bar just commit to spending the money and go to phillys or yucca this place is shady and crazy crazy outdated. Don't believe me go see for yourself. read more

Walked in and although not very busy there were several dirty tables. Sat down for about 5 minutes at a table and had no one come by. Didn't stay long enough to eat so I can't rate the food, but the service and atmosphere was not good at all. read more

We stopped here for a late appetizer, the waitress got into a hand to hand combat with regular customer. He simply asked if his wings were coming and she went off on him. So much, that she grabbed his drink and informed him that his wings were ready but he wasn't going to get them. She proceeded to tell him to get out. I feel the customer held his cool and ground. Scary situation as everyone was in awe what just occurred. She totally mishandled that situation!!!! The manager sat there and allowed this to unfold without stepping in. Not going back again! read more

Friendly small town feel. Lolo 2.0 is awesome and amazing! Great hole in the wall feel.

Lisa is the best! Very attentive even in primetime with limited staff during these times. Make sure to wear your mask or she'll let you know! Amazing place for easy bar food and drinks. I'll be back for sure. read more

Tailgate Sports Bar & Grill - Sports Bars Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Good bar great drinks. The only problem I have is my favorite bartender ever. Abby does not work there anymore or so I've heard that's really a letdown because she was the energy of that bar will always miss her. read more

We had been told that the food at this sports bar was good. We decided to give it a try on a Sunday afternoon. The order was for pizza and chicken wings. My husband had the pepperoni pizza and I had the teriyaki chicken wings. They were both good choices. Even the server was good. The only complaint we had is that it was pretty noisy but that's fairly normal for a sports bar. We would definitely go again. read more

I'm not much of a dive bar person. However, the place is rather interesting. It has that "old bar" feel where people come there to just relax. Heck, you can even chat with the bartender - try that in Scottsdale! There was even a chick that was there at the bar reading a book. Talk about chill. Is this a place I'd go out of my way to attend? Is it a place I'd go if I lived close? I'd say so! Also to note... I was actually confused at the bill. three drinks and my bill was like $8. $8 for three drinks... which in comparison would probably barely buy me one drink in Scottsdale. With that said, if you plan on buying LESS than $10 in drinks/food... then you gotta pay CASH. read more

We were in town for our annual Spring training trip and stopped by this dive bar late night. Tables were far enough apart to feel safe. The server/cook/everything person was Summer and she was a delight! She should get a raise. :) Food was pretty good (it's bar food). Got the thin crust cheese pizza. It was really cheesy. It's a decent size, 2 could eat it. Do note the late night menu is limited (no steak or mac n cheese balls). Tell Summer you heard she was the best! read more

They clearly forgot our order of wings as we were waiting for at least 45 minutes and people who ordered after us got their food before us. Really disappointed since a friend recommended this place to my boyfriend. I wanted to edit my review and say that the wings were delicious, even if the service wasn't great. read more

So who knew there was such a thing as a toast bar? Well, Tailgate has some mighty nice white bread available and toaster right beside it for Sunday morning football. Very good service here on a Sunday morning, and the food was good. Not over the top great, but solid for our party of nine. We kept our wait staff hopping and she was very very efficient and friendly too. Great sense of humor - thanks for keeping us fed and quenched!! read more

Bartender Summer refuses service based on average tip percentage. Don't recommend if she's behind the bar. Long time regular with no other problems with any patron or bartender, and no negative interactions with Summer either (except for this act against me). read more

I've been coming here for close to a year and tonight had the worst experience from Summer (who is a bar tender) who told me to never come in again on her shift. She didn't serve me a drink and said I "especially stiffed her" and told the person who I was with to never come in again although she served him one drink and was mad over a 10 percent tip instead of a 20 percent tip. If I was any person in the college town area take your money elsewhere. You'll probably find better servers than summer. read more

Located right near the Eba tea corner in WakiWaki on Broadway (near Palo Verde for you lushes), Tailgates is kind of a dude bar...but with real darts and the best BuckHunter arcade game YET. I learned about this place since a friend started picking up some bartending shifts and invited us to place darts. I use to love to play darts back in Boston, but most dart boards out here are those terrible electronic ones (ICK) or in the worst place in the bar...or simple just one (A-hem, Casey's). So I was stoked to see four real dartboards (they have dartboard champion nights here), but the real beauty was the ULTIMATE BuckHunt game with all kinds of new exotic animals to "Lets Go A-Huntin'" (did I mention I am vegetarian?-but can't resist a bright orange plastic rifle?). The bar is located back near the joint, straightforward sports like bar, a little dirty, not a place to bring guys in nice polos, but they do have decent beers on tap for pitchers, and they just added Stella on tap, always nice option. There is a smoking lounge off to the side of the bar and you can go outside w/your beverage and have a ciggie if so desired. I believe there is food here, but I come here pretty late at night so don't have the pleasure to recommend anything. As a note, besides the bartender, I have usually been the only woman in this bar. In fact, I only come here with my Mr. Mustachio. I wouldn't really recommend a woman to come here alone or to have a lady's night outing here b/c you are about to enter the man cave of TVs, beer, darts and games-I am sure the guys would swarm you (and your ladies) just to have a lady to hit on. You have been warned! Easy parking (and easy bike riding for me) makes it a nice little quick stop when I don't feel like dropping money at Boulder's for their premium brew or getting slushed on PVs Big Gulps of wells. read more

Stopped here to kill time and watch football before catching a flight. The bartender (female, but I don't remember her name) was very helpful and suggested a drink for me (I'm not a beer lover), which was delicious. It was composed of red wine, blackberry vodka, and fruit juices, so it was similar to a sangria with a little extra kick. There was a bunch of "regulars" here sitting at the bar, and I could see why since the staff was so friendly and the prices were very reasonable. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. I have driven by several times and decided to try it out this eve. I had high hopes cause they play the games and have steel tip darts. We walk in to a somber atmosphere & a bartender that ignored us to talk to a cook (I think) so I went to the bar. Still not even a hello from the bartender- when she finally acknowledged me I asked for an iced tea for my boyfriend who is our DD - she flippantly said they don't have it. So I started to ask what beers they have and she grabbed her towel, started flirting w a guy at the bar and completely ignored me. No thanks!!! I'm out! read more

I really like this place for what it is, and never pretending to be what it's not. Tailgaters is a great neighborhood bar... They have well priced, ice cold beer, a solid food selection, great service, and relaxing bar to sit and relax. For the most part, the crowd is fun and friendly. However, they also seem to attract a few jerk off customers, who lessen the experience. That is the only aspect that prevented me from giving a five star review. read more

This place was awesome. We flew in to Phoenix late last night from Florida and our internal clocks were a mess. We woke up at 6:30 AM. We tried to relax in our hotel (since we arrived so late, we stayed near the airport, but our real destination was Tempe). Anyway, we tried to relax, but our lousy hotel only had like channels - 2 of which were ads for other channels, 1 which was telenovas, and 1 which was a Chicago PD marathon. We opted for Chicago PD, but 27 minutes of the lead guy's voice and we HAD to go. We ordered an Uber to Palo Verde, a favorite of mine, who advertised an 8 AM opening. However when our phone-happy Uber driver dropped is off, Palo was CLOSED! Luckily, we quickly found Tailgate across the street. They opened at 10:00 AM, and we showed up like some super eager beavers at 10:03 AM. We each had screwdrivers. They were strong. 3 ladies showed up - they were mature, and very fun. We all drank and watched Dr. Phil together. It was fun. Sometimes the jukebox would randomly play crappy music, and Lisa the bartender would cuss it out. She was cool. We did not get to eat, as we were there well before lunch, but we would have. They offer $1 hot dogs one day a week- I think Tuesdays - my bro in law JG would have been thrilled. I didn't see a menu to verify if it had chicken, but I bet they had wings or tenders. And they probably would have been as cool as Lisa. read more

Fun little bar to hangout at! The bartenders have always been really nice, drinks are cheap and they have some bar food to snack on! They have darts, a pool table and a juke box read more

This is the watering hole closest to my humble abode, so I may be a little biased, but I love this place. It's exactly what I would picture when given the phrase "hole in the wall bar", and that's what I'm looking for when I just want to relax and unwind or even pregame. The bartender/server/foodrunner/barback that basically runs the place (I seriously don't know what the owners would do without her) is so nice and a very cool person to interact/chat with. The food, while not as extremely diversified as it could be, is always prepared when you order it and comes out hot and delicious. They have a cool side patio to smoke on. The bar also falls right on the Orbit route so it's just a quick lift back home or to a different location. read more

I have been here a few times now and I have to give it a good rating... Although it is kinda divey, I was super pleased to see they have REAL dartboards. This pleases me so much I had to review. If you just wanna go to drink and play darts, I highly recommend. I don't necessarily recommend eating there, however. My boyfriend ate there once and he suffered the night through...I would not eat there after his experience. But for beer and darts, yes, GO. read more

Im actually a regular!! My favorite bar tender is Lisa, shes awesome!! My wife loves the lady cuz shes the only bar tender there that makes a killer Jamaician 10 speed, shes heavy handed so my wife loves it!! The food there is the best bar food ive actually EVER HAD!! Well worth it, cheap and delicious!! I usually get a thin crust pepperoni pizza with wings (always) and a pitcher of blu moon with my wifes 10 speed!! Less then 30 bucks!! Perfect pricing for a good time!! I recommend this place to everyone!! Its to good!! read more

Tailgate Sports Bar & Grill - Dranks on me!!! - Sports Bars Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Got into town Sunday and wanted to kill some time watching the football games so I stopped in this spot prior to checking in to my hotel. I had only planned on being there for an hour or so enough time to consume a few drinks but the place had interesting vibes. It's definitely a dive bar, but the bartender was great and fast considering it was a nice crowd. The drinks were mixed great proportionately and the food was good. Ordered the wings and was quiet pleased! read more

This place is the shit, as long as your feelings aren't easily hurt and you can deal with a stinking bathroom. First time I came in here the older lady bartender cussed me out when I asked if she could turn the sound on the game on. She's really a sweet lady, she just doesn't know how to express her feelings without being ornery. She even lets me watch soccer. The bartenders are all cool as s__t unless they don't like you. I don't have that problem because I'm a great guy. The pizza, wings and hot dog specials are great but there's no way I'm eating spaghetti and meatballs at a bar. Honestly though this might be my favorite bar ever, and I've been to a lot of em. The people are honest and friendly. People here buy each other drinks all the time. I'm on my fourth beer and I only paid for one. Isn't that what America is all about? I come here way too much, I need to go home. The fries are excellent. read more

I'd give this bar a full 5 stars, but there's a regular who comes here who annoys the shit out of me. This woman won't let me drink in peace. She's claiming me as her bar husband and I don't believe in arranged marriages. The fries are excellent. read more

Hometown locals place. Great wings, but less than great experience with other food on the menu. I was able to watch any sport (some at the same time) because of the ample TVs. Great welcoming place for newcomers or singles in Savannah. read more

Great bar. They have great food specials everyday. Sports bar with 10 TV's. Bartenders are the best in Tempe. 5 stars. read more

Tailgate Sports Bar & Grill - the back of the bar - Sports Bars Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Great little pub and eatery with a nice variety on the food menu, and what appears to be a pretty well stocked bar for the unpretentious patron not looking for spectacular, just good ol' down to earth service, friendly locals, tasty vittles and cold beer on ice. They have Jagger Miester on tap, they call something like the Jagernator ...I was tempted, maybe next time I'll walk in and act like I know what I'm doing and call for "a shot from yagernator, please" That'll get the locals attention...can't wait! A plethora of TV's but on my visit last night on my way home through Tempe, I thought, hey, the first game of second round Stanley Cup playoffs....need to find a spot to wet my whistle, and boom, there's Tailgate! No Hickey? Come on, so I asked. They had to ask ME what channel, and of course I knew, so it was cool, and all worked out. I'll be back, and maybe get a game o darts in. Seems like a good place for football, and oh ya, the crunchy chicken wraps are yummy! read more

It was very dark, empty, and seemed like a dive. There were at least 10 televisions, but only 4 shows be aired, including a regular Tim Allen show. Really? Food was basic, nothing to make me want to come back for. It took 30 minutes to get the food (pizza and pretzel) and both were burnt. Sodas were flat - we explained this, but she didn't care and talked over us. There's one pool table, a stage that was empty (and no lights were on it during our visit to promote it at all), and around 6 - 8 tall tables/chairs (aside from the seating at the bar). My husband went previously during football season, but I don't know why I'd return. I'll be going elsewhere, most likely Freezers! read more

Went here tonight with my man and had an awesome time. The very nice girl from Boston and NC was awesome and we both had the pleasure of meeting her. Great bartender and is super cool! Thank you! read more
