    Inside

    This bar is hidden. I have driven past here so many times with no clue it even existed. I found out about it from a friend who suggested meeting here after work. We made it for happy hour right when the doors first open at 4pm. I didn't know what to expect but upon entering the inside was dark with the red lights lit. The bar area was the brightest and there were seats available. As I wondered around before hitting the bar, I peeked in the connecting room where there are a few pool tables to shoot pool. Then when I made it to the bar, bartender Kristie mentioned they have a separate room for arcade and other games. She was super nice and was ready for me and my friends drink orders. I asked if she could make The Night Owl margarita without the jalapeno since I wasn't in the mood for spicy. This drink was amazingly good. I sipped on this slow to enjoy the flavors. Around 5pm the crowd started to come in. Then the noise level picked up. I'm so happy this is close to home and work so I can go hangout and not have to go far.

    The Little Woody is a fantastic spot if you're looking for a low-key, unpretentious place to grab a drink. It successfully nails that cozy, slightly retro neighborhood bar feel, it's dark, intimate, and always has a welcoming energy. Atmosphere & Vibe: The décor is cool and quirky without trying too hard. It's definitely a place where you can relax, chat with friends, and actually hear yourself talk, even on a busy night. It never feels overly clubby or hectic, which is a huge plus. Drinks & Service: They have a solid selection of craft beers, but the real star here is the cocktail menu. Their bartenders are efficient and know their way around a classic drink. Service is typically friendly and attentive, though it can take a moment when they're slammed on the weekends. It's a reliable, cool hangout that's perfect for a casual date night or a late-night drink with friends. Not a 5-star because maybe the seating can be limited, but overall, it's a strong four stars and a favorite spot in the area!

    Great spot! Even though they call themselves a dive bar, they surpass dive bar standards. Earlier in the evening, they have their craft kitchen open. Nachos are great and the Mac and cheese is nearly to die for. Their classic cocktails are 7 dollars on happy hour In terms of activities, they have pool (free on mondays), skee ball, darts, and more! There's three separate seating areas so plenty of space to go around. I think the same bartender has been there both times I've been (Monday from 5ish to 7) and she's always super friendly with speedy service, and her french 75 can't be beat

    Cute little dive bar in Arcadia! Make sure to follow your map--you might miss the turn otherwise (I have before ). It's a bit hidden, but definitely a great find. Drinks are a bit pricey, but the inside is surprisingly spacious, with multiple areas for general seating, games, and more. Can't speak to the food, but drinks have always been good. Nothing fancy or overly amazing. The owl theme is fun, and the place is decently clean. Security is always friendly, and I appreciate that they have a view of the parking lot, makes me feel safe walking to my car as a female guest.

    First time at this bar and loved it. When we walked in we didn't realize how big the bar actually is. There are 3 sections. One has arcade games, darts, and other games. Another section has pool tables. The main section has different seating options. The entire bar has an owl decor/theme. There are many different drink options. They also have a food menu. The service was amazing. The bartenders were great. I really enjoyed my time here and will definitely be back.

    As dive bars go...one of the best I've been in. As Phoenix's second olds bar (just behind the Bikini Lounge), they have maintained a really great legacy. I didn't try any food but just stopped in for a night cap which was made perfectly by a great bartender. I didn't catch his name but he made me feel welcome on my first visit. If you want to avoid crowds, pop in here on a Monday night and play some free skee ball! Just some good fun!

    Great Phx bar. My friends and I came here to celebrate. They have 3 different rooms with different vibes - one bar and sitting, one dancing, and one pool tables - so definitely great for everyone. Also the drinks were amazing!!! My friend said her mule was fantastic. I got a specialty drink called the poise with gin. Would come again!

    I came here for a happy hour/networking event. Location was a touch obscure & I either missed the sign or it was not existent. Parking is SO LIMITED. Once I got over the parking sitch & walked over to the bar, I was immediately hit w/such a strong odor of marijuana. I know, "it's legal," & while this is true locally, it isn't federally. I digress, I'm not a fan of the smell but overcame it & made my way into a dimly lit bar. There is skee ball in the back room. I ordered a sapphire martini, up w/2 olives. Perfectly made. Perfectly delicious. Very happy. I ordered at the main bar since the bar in the back room was closed. Quick & efficient service & friendly. This is the kind of feel good, everyone knows your name kind of joint. I can definitely see the attraction. It's not my style but would recommend giving it a try if you're in the neighborhood. Just be ware of parking.

    Friends and I were killing time before our flights - I'm actually sad we didn't discover this place…read moreearlier for a full meal! As it was, we grabbed a few drinks and a snack. Really good drinks and there are some really unique ones - the Kyoto in Winter came in a very cute teacup, for example! There's a decent mocktail selection, which I appreciated as the DD. We really loved the Knotty Boyz (Garlic Parmesan) - if we hadn't eaten recently we might've ordered more to share!

    I have been thinking about this place since I dined here for the first time…read more Fast-paced service and great pizza slices are $3 on happy hour. I tried the Korean BBQ pizza which was really good. They had a special pizza...The Baked Potato. So happy they offer slices to try. This was pretty tastey with the seasoned potatoes on it. I particularly appreciated that they did not over potato the slice lol. The best part about the pizza in general is that the crust is light and soft. I usually prefer heavy cheese on my pizza but their was just right. I tried the Son of a B*t@# I'm In cocktail that is on happy hour for $10. The simple yet clean ingredients caught my eye...gin, aperol, elderflower, lime l, and honey made for a very refreshing drink. Also, I've been on a kick to enjoy cocktails with no ice, so this was perfect.
