The atmosphere was not what I had expected. Too old of a tone I guess you could say. I am getting up there in age but I felt like I was in a elevator all night with the pace of the place read more

Neighborhood bar lots of regulars. Your drink prices depend upon the bartender it seems. If you're paying with credit, watch your tab. It gets very busy, There is karaoke most nights. The only food they offer frozen pizzas, but you can bring your own food and snack in. We've been there during the afternoon and it's a better place day drink for me. read more

Just a slight correction, I didn't realize they did serve a little something. I guess it's because I never saw anyone eating save the folks next to me that brought their own snacks. I did find that odd, but now I understand. I would still rather see food served, variations of finger food would be great. Loss of star, no food. Suggestions, maybe even little quick.Mini microwave pizzas or something along those lines right. Overall what a fun fun place. I went to cheer on a friend of mine for karaoke, and I had the best time. This, I cannot stress enough because I recently lost my husband and everyone there made me feel so so good. The atmosphere is just overall smiles. Honestly, I cannot wait to go back. read more

The Speakeasy - Good times with good friends. - Speakeasies Near Me - Sun City, Arizona

A truly foul establishment. I was groped by an older man who is supposedly a regular. When I asked him if he meant to grab me, he immediately denied anything occurring. My husband was then told by multiple patrons that this man "wouldn't do something like that". We were promptly cut off and kicked out and I was shouted at by another older man at the bar as we were leaving. I will never be returning, everyone I know will be made aware of what happened here, and I will never be belittled into not standing up for myself. If you value your money, morals, and bodily autonomy, don't come here. read more

Amazing place! Best bartender and great drinks. If you're near and want drinks. this is the place

Bartender guy on 11/02/2025 at 1am was horrible and needa correct his face, smile, and be nice.

Speakeasy is simply a nice small pub type bar where people can visit, watch sports or other programs, play some shuffleboard and do karaoke. It is a similar place to Cheers tv bar where friends go to meet and share a drink. It is not a restaurant, but they do serve pizza and snacks. Generally, an older crowd is there but they're nice and supportive of karaoke singers. Go and enjoy. read more

The name says itself. Wouldn't catch it in the plaza just passing by but love the dive bar feel. Rockie is absolutely a pleasure and Frank always takes good care as well. The karaoke nights are actually a pleasant surprise. They take it seriously. Worth the stop. read more

The Speakeasy - Speakeasies Near Me - Sun City, Arizona

Serve some real food and not chips and frozen pizza. Went in one time, and that was enough to decide not to go back!

I met a friend at the Speakeasy in Sun City. He arrived first. M sent me a text that said "when you get here, I'm in the back. Look for the black guy". I called him and asked if he was the only black guy in the place. He said "Yep". I arrived. The Speakeasy isn't easy to find on any map application. It takes you around the east rear of the strip mall. I drove around the front and located it under a sign that said Grand Center. That made sense. There is no real signage except on the door. I parked and walked in. It was about 9pm on a Saturday. I was immediately hit with the sounds of country Karaoke going on. Someone was wailing out their heart out off-key to some country-western tune while the bar was filled with senior citizens in polyester and jeans. You can imagine the ambiance. They seemed to be having a good time. A couple of guys sitting at the bar waved me over to sit with them. I shook my head. M picked the place. This was supposed to be a first date. Since he loved karaoke and had never been there, it made sense to check it out. I looked toward the back and M was sitting there. He was indeed the only Black man in the place. In fact, he was the only person of any ethnicity besides "white, not Hispanic" in the place. Some people at the bar turned to look at him. He looked very uncomfortable. I walked up to M, gave him a big hug and kiss on the cheek, and sat down. That caused more people to stare. M looked at me, I stared down the others. A cheerful server from the bar came right over, took our drink order, and delivered it promptly.. the Speakeasy does not serve food so if you are looking for bar food and drinks, you are out of luck. We spoke for a while and M was turned to look at me. I was sitting looking forward, looking at him and also watching the karaoke going on at the other side of the bar. Apparently this night was being DJ'd by Cowboy Dan. As I said, the seniors at the bar were having a great time. Several seemed to know each other. Sun City is not known for its nightlife so the Speakeasy is one of the few places people in this area can go for a friendly drink and night out on a Saturday without having to drive 30 minutes or more. However, Sun City isn't exactly known for its ethnic diversity, either. The more M and I sat there trying to get to know each other, the more stares we got. M was growing increasingly uncomfortable by the minute. And I was growing increasing indignant staring them down. I hadn't been out on a real date since my husband died 4 years ago and it was going downhill fast. So I just said to M, "you want to get out of here"? He looked up at me, obviously relieved, and nodded his head. He looked over at the server, paid the bill and we left. Unfortunately, there are not many other places to go along Grand Avenue between Surprise and el Mirage, unless you plan to have a full meal, fast food, fix your car, get gas, or shop for groceries. So M and I continued our conversation outside for a half hour and ultimately sat in my car another 45 minutes since my shoes were killing me. Then, we cut the evening short, said our goodbyes and I was home by 11. I checked in with my kids to let them know I was still alive and went to bed. read more

We stopped in for a drink with family after visiting a family member in Del Webb hospital. Great place for a few drinks and regroup after visiting the hospital. Bartenders were prompt and courteous! Friendly place! read more

The people here are all amazing including all the customers. I always feel safe and comfortable here. Best hangout!

I love this fun bar, hidden in plain sight. The owner is second generation and a very sweet girl. I love the bartenders. I almost hate to review The Speakeasy and let the secret out but it's perfect for a cold beer or a mixed drink and they have karaoke on weekend nights. They will make you a frozen pizza hahaha and I've eaten a couple but mostly just chips. I recommend this fun place read more

This is a must go to dive bar in the area for drinks and karaoke on Friday night. Enjoy the atmosphere or join along on the wireless mic from the comfort of your barstool. read more

The Speakeasy - Great band! - Speakeasies Near Me - Sun City, Arizona

I'll echo previous reviews: I gave this place 4 visits (today only because my dog is being groomed next door). I've been empty for 45 minutes. 8 souls at the bar One drink sold in .45 mins Bartenders love to drink Bartenders love to talk Prices change depending who you get UPDATE: Once bartender saw me reviewing, I suddenly got served. If it lets me post a picture, I'll show what employees do: Talk to their friend in the corner. Constantly. Sure isn't for lack of trying here. read more

Here at the Speakeasy on Thursdays & Friday Nights is the Best Karaoke in town! Arie Does a Great show, mixes Every song and Every singer- the sound is adjusted for all..not just left for all to suffer through. She has real sound processors to add those cool effects that the real singers enjoy. Not just a lil reverb or echo, she has it all and uses it. Some, of course, prefer just the basics, but that's the beauty of it- The singer gets a say in their sound- imagine that ; ) The sound is awesome and monitored so as not to be too loud. Even breaks out a DB meter! She gets out in the crowd too often to ensure the sound is good..who does that! It's a 4 hour show and it's worth it. The Thursday crowd is mostly elderly and Crooners and 70's, love it! Friday's crowd is some of that and 80's/90's. Not really the place if you like to scream in the Mic or like to swear in your songs - no rap or Hip Hop going on. They draw A LOT of VGS or Very Good Singers! Have to say, I've been all over town and honestly couldn't point you to a better place to go sing karaoke - not just blowing smoke! They don't serve food here, just frozen pizza, but they don't mind if some is delivered.. Lots of parties come here too. The place has that old school- everybody's friends- atmosphere. I've been going there just about 2 years now and have met so many wonderful people and so many friends. The Owner has straightened this place out and removed all the trashy dishonest! The Management and ALL the staff are top shelf people and work their tails off. Just go check it out on a Thursday and or Friday and you will find out for yourself! The only thing you'll say about my review is AMEN! Go - See - Sing - Drink - Enjoy - Become one of the group where you belong. read more

This a a great place for cheap drinks and friendly service! It is in Sun City so expect an older crowd. The age range changes a bit on the weekends. They also are very well set up to handle a crowd during the pandemic with dividers to help with social distancing. All the bartenders are fantastic! My favorite hangout! read more

This place has the vibes but lowkey sucks and way overpriced but that's just my opinion.

The bartender who works on Friday nights and runs that place by herself is amazing. I really don't know how she did it! She was being the hostess, waitress, busser, dishwasher, bar back, cashier and bartender, all while doing an amazing job. The place was packed and she was keeping up great. Also, with a front and back entrance, she had to watch for customers coming in both entrances. She greeted them all promptly. She knew a lot of the regulars. Seems that the small pitchers of beer are the popular item here. I also really enjoyed the specials even though they were out of several of them. The happy hour was 8am to 4pm so it is great for the people who like to day drink! The music was great (80s rock) and it was dark so the environment was fun and a place you wanted to stay at. This is our new favorite local bar! read more

Fun place. Great staff. Good drink prices. The band, Reboot was really good. Will go again soon. Highly recommend.

Nice to get out and social distance practices in place. They pour a strong drink and not skimpy where it is all ice and mixer with no alcohol. I ordered a regular but it tasted like a double. read more

Omg this place is awesome the employees are the best you will never find a better place and the prices are reasonable come and and say hi read more

Love this place. We were unexpectedly surprised at what a special place this was. Met some amazing people sitting at the bar. Tina the bartender was awesome. Place is extremely clean and comfortable. We will back. read more

Cheap drinks and lousy service. Blames it on the plandemic but that doesn't excuse poor service.

My husband and I, two grown daughters, grand daughter, 18 years old, entered this bar to meet up with someone on vacation from our old hometown. Went to sit at a table far away from he bar in the middle of the day. We were treated rudely by waitress, told we couldn't have our granddaughter in there. She was disrespectful to all of us. I think she was mean and rude. Don't go there the staff doesn't want to make money. There is no law that prohibits minors in bars in Arizona. read more

I love the fact that this place is supporting all local We had awesome service from Ben at the bar, super informative about the menu , about his libations and the whole experience. We had just wondered in for a drink , ordered drinks and the best fries ! We have to give all Kudos to Ben ! read more

Perfect place to come no matter what age you are. Also a plus you can bring in your own food without any issues, it's actually encouraged. Strongest drinks poured especially for the price, and I've been a bartender 10+ years. Great employees and the owners are incredible. This place is like a family even if you're new or just visiting. read more

I tried to order a Manhattan....a MANHATTAN! She just shook her head and said "I don't know what that is ".

Look forward to come here once I'm in my 70's but until then it's very easy to find a better place for a drink. Lol wall to wall retired old men were here bitching about what ever! read more

Great place to watch Packers games on Sundays! They had a make your own Bloody Mary bar and complimentary nachos. Loved it, will be back!

Decided to check this place out while visiting family in Phoenix. Location is in a shopping mall & not easy to find as signage was either a small banner & or name written on a flip chalk board on sidewalk offset from door. Once inside it was very crowded. As another poster mentioned it is certainly an older crowd. Less than 10 ppl under 50 in the joint. They had a band which was pretty decent just wished they could of turned the volumn down a touch so I didn't have to scream at my family member across the table from me. Two bottles of domestic beer was $6 which seemed normal like pricing. I probably won't be back but it was overall ok place. read more

It's like Cheer's, the show. A neighborhood friendly atmosphere. Tommy, the bartender, is a fabulous singer. He sings karaoke while mixing drinks, making change, and is just a delightful person. Sunday's, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Friday's are karaoke nights. Consistent crowd each night that makes it fun and comfortable. read more

If you enjoy a trashy strip mall bar with plenty of seniors this is your place! Drinks are cheap enough but we're much too young for this atmosphere. I may suggest my mom and her lady friends go here and pick up a nice man to bring back to the retirement community. read more

The NEW Speakeasy is great! Like the new location. Great bands on Sat. Night. Karaoke 4 nights and Live Band Karaoke on Wed. Nights. Super friendly, great drink prices. Could use a bit more seating. Get there early to get a seat on weekends. The west side's best kept secret. Check it out! read more

My husband and I love this place. Great live bands, dancing, and fun. Awesome drink prices,and very chill. I love going casually dressed talking to people of all different ages and having a darn good time. Best little bar in town and not to mention they are super clean. read more

We love The Speak! Great people. Cheap drinks. Always a fun time. Try it. It'll soon become your happy place too!

The speakeasy used to be a fun place to go, the new bar tenders who were there last night were the most disrespectful ignorant people. I won't be going back there. They have no respect for the patrons who visit that place. My friend said the same thing I had no idea how awful that place has become. People I speak to now won't even go back. Waiting on Tommy and Jamie to open. read more
