A must stop when we're in Jerome! It always feels inviting and bartenders are incredibly personable and of course can make fantastic drinks. My husband and I always make new friends and hear cool new Jerome stories when we're there and when they have live music the musicians are amazing! Definitely think the vibe and history of this place is so much fun and would recommend over any of the other town watering holes. read more

The music and bar service! Always get the best made margaritas there. Beer is good too.

Bartender was rude. There was only one other table occupied. We left after one expensive drink.

Went on a Friday at 6pm. Literally no customers. There was a woman working there updating a menu sign, I asked if I should sit down- was there a server or did I need to go to the bar? No answer- she didn't look up- just nodded her head at the bar. "What do you have on tap?" Bartender said only one, some local beer. Dead quiet. What a depressing place! And on a Friday evening. Maybe it gets good when there is a band. We left without purchasing anything. read more

This place is fire. Walked the town and came through to have a drink after shopping. Had a few rum and cokes and relaxed. Very relaxing vibe and chill. Unfortunately, I did not get the bartenders name. But she was really accommodating to our service. White girl, Glasses, Tattoos, really cool girl. Very chill read more

This is a great place to have a cocktail and worry if there's a ghost around. Perfect Manhattan! My friends had beer. But, the manhattan was delectable! We were sitting at the bar talking to the bartender. The bar used to be a brothel, as are a lot of buildings in Jerome. We laughed and spoke about ghosts. Our friend was talking about getting a T shirt. There is a display of them, rolled up behind the bar. One of the T shirts, our friend's size, fell off the shelf. There was no reason for it to have fallen. The bartender casually picked it up, check the size and put it back. We are going to go back and see how many we can knock off! read more

The bartender on March 18th 1pm was a bit over the top. I understand following rules, but after my drink was long gone I dumped my ice cubes in my thermos. The bartender yelled at me 'did you just dump your drink on there?' I said my drink was long gone, it was just ice cubes. She took my cup and dumped it out. She did refill it but I felt she was over the top. Took the fun out of it. read more

The Spirit Room is a true Wild West saloon experience! As soon as the doors opened at 11, the place was packed. They only had one bartender, so we had to wait a bit, but the cold drinks were definitely worth it--especially with the Arizona heat outside. It's a family-friendly spot, too! Kids are welcome in the saloon, and they'll happily serve them up a Shirley Temple. The decor is classic saloon style, with plenty to look at, though our preteen boys were a little shy about some of the wall art. That didn't stop them from sneaking a few glances though! read more

One of the best old fashioneds I've ever had -- perfectly balanced and thoughtfully made. The skull ice cube was a fun touch, and the overall vibe of the bar made it an easy place to linger and enjoy the drink. read more

This place was pretty cool. Came up with the ex wife trying to rekindle the spark that lead our marriage and ended up being left in Jerome for hours on end after a nasty argument. I wandered my way into the spirit room and had an excellent time playing against myself in chess and listening to some excellent live music. What a great way to pass the time until my 16 year old son made his way from Phoenix to pick me up. (She took the car). Thanks to the incredible conversationalist of a bartender with the cool mustache. Thanks, Rich H. read more

I love this place. Only down side is Captain Dirt Stash had no mint But really its a fabulous, fun place to go. Great service and atmosphere! read more

Part of the history of Jerome, AZ and an institution of acceptance and great music. All, who accept all, are welcome. Great bands, awesome ambiance. And great service as well as a a complete bar. Dancing and community events are held here. Plus the staff is exceptional. A definite place to visit if you come to town. read more

Tried this place as the first stop to my bar hop adventure. It wasn't busy at all when entering. Got there at a good time, as time went on, it did get busy. The bartender was super nice & friendly & personable. We tried the raspberry beer & it was good. The ambiance was cool too. read more

This place has so cool! I loved the live music, the band was great covering all the classics. People are just vibing, dancing. Very friendly ambiance. We got a few beers since we're staying in the hotel Connor. Definitely check this place out! read more

What a goofy place to enjoy some spirits! Our group expected a bustling little haunt and we were surprised how empty it was for a Friday night. Sitting at a high top table, we sipped our drinks and soaked up the vibe. This is an old historic joint and we enjoyed looking at the vintage decor and mismatched ensemble of decor. They do have live music during the day so we hope to check that out. read more

Would give this place a zero for friendliness by staff. Was excited to see this place based on things I read about it. Once we arrived doors were open and all I wanted was to check the place out and take pictures. As I approached the door an employee rudely said, "It's not open yet!" Almost bumping me also as he walked inside the main door definitely annoyed. What a great welcome to Jerome! read more

The rudest bartender I've ever encountered. He was ugly with a mustache and treated every guest as if they were a bother and didn't know how to make half the drinks we requested on a dead ass Wednesday night read more

This place is a dive bar! Like a lot of places it was, at some point in time, a brothel. And it is supposedly haunted. But it does seem that most of the places in Jerome were brothels, and most are haunted. Kacey was tending bar and she was great. Made my wife a pretty much perfect bloody mary. We were day drinking! Some male karen walked in with a kid. Kacey had to explain, in detail, that it is against the law for anyone under 21 to be in the bar. He wanted special consideration. She remained calm and explained that the law doesn't differentiate for children. We will be back, often! Maybe of interest to some, pasties are acceptable attire here! WOOHOO! read more

Fun atmosphere. Live band on Saturday afternoon. People of all ages and backgrounds dancing and tapping their feet. No one seemed to worry about leaving their drinks at their tables to get up and dance. Lots of space but not too many tables. read more

Really great bar. The service was great and it introduced me to a great brewery, Smelter Brewing!

Came here on a Saturday night last month after we finished dinner down the street. It looked like the only bar open in town. There were only about 10 people inside. We stayed for a drink (they have hard seltzer) and played several songs on their satallite juke box. The bartender was nice as were the other patrons. They also have pool tables in the back room. read more

Two days in a row, two different people1 male 1 female hate their lives and it resonates with the customers that you chase off through abhorrent behaviour...first night 1 person at the bar...bartender engaged "thoroughly" with the 1 patron, we were a party of 3...sales just potentially skyrocketed, but it was almost like "maybe they will leave". Sorry to disappoint the bartender but we ordered drinks anyway... You may have a different opinion but if you are in the business, you should be happy to serve all of your customers. Unless of course they give you reason to not serve...drunk belligerent folks...place has potential given the history but man could use a change in either mgmt or ownership! read more

I'm so glad we went to the Spirit Room! We had the best Prickly Pear Margarita's made by the lady bar tender. She was very welcoming and gave us local details about this historic location. They have really nice t-shirts as well, so I got one. Of your thirsty, it's the place to go. read more

We stopped for a drink and found ourselves at the Spirit Room. There could be many explainations for why it's called that and I'll leave all that up to you to decide. This place has been around since the establishment of Jerome as a city in the late 1800's. A place where ladies of the night and miners came to enjoy a fine spirit, at that time Jerome had been called the "Wickedest City in America". Although this place burned down four times in the ol' Mining Days, the architecture of the stone building is still original and the interior is classic of the boomtown era. We ordered a couple beers on tap which were refreshing, given the high temps and enjoyed the music on jukebox for a bit until it was yet again time to go and explore more. read more

I was so excited to see that they are finally back to serving alcohol at the bar, only to be a little disappointed by the mean 'spirited' bar tender behind the bar. She was not very friendly with customers and could be downright rude at times. When the business relies on tourists, you would think she could take the time to make customers feel welcome rather than a burden to her day. read more

Franco the bartender made my first time experience outstanding!~ thank you for a FUN night!

Amazing, friendly local bar. I recommend the prickly pear mojitos! Great bartender, fun patrons. They also have live music but we didn't get to catch that. Next time! read more

I've been here twice in my life...on little road trips to Jerome. Charming, Old, Authentic. Received not exactly a greeting from the barkeep, Keebler. He was pretty serious. But, I stayed for two beers and just sat and enjoyed. Full Sail IPA!--all the way from Hood River, Oregon. Place was not hopping on Monday at 11:00am. Plugged the juke for a few, affordable. Restroom is just fine, just don't sit near it. I was seated sort of near the end of bar, and a outhouse type smell permeated that corner after a patron used it. I bought a souvenir shirt and I think the bartender appreciated my business even though he wasn't friendly. read more

Really fun bar. Biker friendly. Pool table. Cheap drinks. (cheap as in $3 beers) Live music on the weekends. From what I could tell, this was one of the only 2 bars on the main strip in Jerome. Everybody I met in this place was super friendly. It's really an old western saloon in a picturesque Mtn Town. Apparently the stretch of Jerome used to be the red light district, back when Jerome was a working mining town. There is a strong historical sense about the entire town. All in all a very fun time. read more

The old west at its best. Bar girl waitress and drunk country characters and a local band. Located in the historic 1898 Conner Hotel. Makes you feel like the copper miners will walk in the door any minute. Reminds me of gun smoke from the TV days of my youth. Miss Kitty is the bar tender and Chester and Matt will come in soon. read more

While visiting and "shopping" Jerome, we stopped in the "spirit" room for a drink and a bartender quickly greeted us just to card the two younger ladies in our small group. When we finished our drinks, I went to settle the bill at the bar (no table service). I was waiting behind two other male bar patrons when from behind the bar I was approached by a loud, heavy-set, tattooed blonde female barmaid who made a scene about the uncorked, wrapped, bagged bottle of wine I was carrying from part of my shopping experience in Jerome. I had been sitting quietly drinking my Diet Coke at a badly worn window seat with my bags for about thirty minutes prior to this encounter. This same barmaid also loudly yelled from behind the bar to an older lady who walked into the bar with a sleeping child in a stroller telling the woman no one in the bar under 21 on the weekends. The same barmaid was overheard complaining about how she is mistreated and that it comes with being a bartender. Maybe treat your patrons with a little bit of kindness and it will be reciprocated. My opinion of the joint will now and forever be the "dive" bar, no spirit here. read more

Great place! Megan was awesome and friendly. Great service. Great atmosphere. Will be returning.

This place might not be for everyone, but I really enjoyed it. It has a lot of history, like the rest of the town. Our bartender gave us a bit of the history of the place. I wish I could remember her name because she was great. I have to say, she was a terrific singer -- she sang along with the juke box. The bar is certainly on the divey side, but it has a lot of windows that let in light. Really glad I stopped in. read more

Heard the music and stepped in. Nice place for a drink and to take a break. Mixed crowd on a Sunday afternoon, bikers, a few young people, but it was mostly an older crowd ( I fit right in). Drinks are cheap, $4 for a gin over ice. Band was great, awesome trio. Service was good, and attentive, my glass was always full! Only wish band played longer than to 6 pm. read more

We were there yesterday morning for the first time. I'm from Chicago I've never been to Jerome. The female bartender in this establishment was so incredibly rude. I bartended myself for 10 years and I have never seen anybody act the way that she did towards her customers. And especially my boyfriend and I as a brand new customers being treated as terribly as we were is just not acceptable. It's very clear that gaining new customers is not a priority for the people who work at this establishment. And I don't know how the owner can possibly tolerate a staff that functions in that manner. read more

The Spirit Room is a MUST when visiting Jerome. Come in here on in the afternoon to sit back, drink an ice cold beer or two or three (or cocktails or all of the above) and absorb the long, colorful history that still permeates the air. Most weekends they have live music so it's REALLY a good time. While you're enjoying your drink you get to rub elbows with bikers, colorful locals, tourists (both American and foreign) and when you're buzzed enough you might just find yourself busting out some moves on the dance floor. Weekdays are more quiet with no local music but then again you don't have to push and shove to get in the place. The Spirit Room really is an American gem that retains the Old West flavor that exists now mostly in our dreams and ideals. Word to the wise: make sure you have a designated driver and don't even think about to navigate the switchbacks after you've had a few. As one who's driven carloads of utterly wasted people down the hill on more than one occasion, make sure you think ahead and be safe. read more

This is one of the few(maybe couple) places in Jerome where you can get a drink after 6pm. The first day we went I stood at the bar for 5 minutes while the bartender did some stuff at the register, and offered someone else sitting there another drink, before finally acknowledging me. There were only 4 people at the bar, including myself, at the time, so it's not like it was because she didn't see me. It is definitely a local hangout. But we stayed since there were not many other alternatives. The second day, there was a different bartender, who was much friendlier, and handled our drinks right away. I wish they had more music playing however. The second night they didn't have any music playing. Seems like it is hit or miss service here, at least for out of towners, but it's worth a visit to experience the ambiance of the place, which could have easily been a bordello full of gambling and boozing in another lifetime. read more

When in Jerome, do as the Jeromans. Yup, so I pull up straddling my hog ~runnna nanana nannaruna nananananaa~ You know I have to hear my hog idle in a deafening fashion. If it doesn't make the elderly's hearing aids explode and women run carrying their new borns with cupped hands over their little ears, well, then it might as well be a sissy Yamaha. Anyhow, all dressed in leather and denim with a skull bandanna wrapped around my wind blown rat's nest, I order a cold one as I puffed down a non-filter cigarette and opened the bottle with my teeth..and as the fag burned down to my finger tips, I extinguish it in the palm of my hand and laugh at little as my flesh smokes slightly. It's not a silly laugh, or a giggle, it's the laugh of a true bad ass. Yup. Okay, that wasn't me, but that was like at least 10 people in the place! So this is the deal with Jerome. It's the coolest little ghost town ever, a historic copper mining community, and this happens to be one of the most bitchin' bars on the block. Yes, bikers come here, tourists, yuppies- you name it. Everyone's welcome! It's just that kind of place. Remember Michelle Branch, that annoying singer-songwriter, the one that's reminiscent of Alvin from the Chipmunks? Her album was titled, "Live from the Spirit Room"...nuff said. Lots of bands and live music... rock, pop, funk. jam.... good stuff, small bar, cheap beers. read more
