My friend wanted to celebrate her birthday her with some country dancing. I didn't know what to expect. I was a little disappointed they didn't really have line dancing - although it may have been the time in the evening that we went. Overall the live band was good. They played a mix of fast and slow songs. People definitely got out and were two stepping around the floor. There are a couple pool tables and some electronic dart boards. read more

Great place but this place where I always come here. Great atmosphere love the woman great price

Tom Ryan's isn't trying to be anything it's not. It's a small local watering hole where you're gonna find live music, a lot of dancing, and a lot of drinking. There are a ton of dartboards and there's also billiards. There's a decent size patio outback as well. I haven't been here during the day so it's hard to say what that experience would be like and I'll be sure to update if I do but in the evenings it transforms into a place that is easy to just sit and hang out. Listen to music, have a drink, chat with friends. It's not winning any awards for ambiance and aesthetics but it allows a nice environment for some simple live music, dancing and drinks. Sometimes, thats all you need. read more

ALWAYS TOP NOTCH! Paige and Nina never miss a thing! Almost mind readers at times haha. The ownership is always doing things to make this spot better, safer and more entertaining for their patrons. Solid atmosphere and happy and smiling staff are always inviting. Clearly this place has been around awhile for a reason! read more

Holy crap! Ended up here randomly having paid a visit to a neighboring store. I never knew a county bar was three miles from my house. Amazing full bar, the staff were so nice and the locals although noticed I was a newbie, left me alone. I can't wait to go here for live country music!! Place is wide open great vibe. read more

This is a tough one because overall I really enjoyed the music from the live band and great energy from all of the bar patrons. It was my first time in Tom Ryan's. My hubby and I walked up to the bar to grab a drink. I love people watching so I was definitely getting a lot of good energy from everyone, that's awesome! What I don't understand is how a bartender can just walk up to only him, take his drink order and walk away, like I wasn't standing right there next to him. It was very un-welcoming. I didn't expect a whole, Hi, how are you today greeting as it is a very busy bar, but I do expect to be acknowledged at least. She did come back, but almost felt like I was an inconvenience when I requested a specific tequila. As a bartender myself, I hope the woman that served us see's this and I hope you were just having an off night which is understandable. Someone mentioned to me she was a manager which was even more mind boggling to me. read more

The best dive bar around!!! Tom Ryan's has the best staff, the best bands, the best drinks and the drinks are reasonably priced. Always a good time. read more

This place is one of my favourite dive bars ever. The ambiance is exactly what you would expect. Bartenders are nice and drinks are reasonably priced read more

I started coming here for a dart league and I might be blessed with my league day, but Penney is the absolute best. She's sweet, fast, and efficient. It's so refreshing going somewhere that you're remembered and the service is amazing every time. One man show that flows like there's multiple workers there. 5/5 for me because of her!! read more

Went there the Friday before Memorial Day and had an amazing time! It had a great sized dance floor, plenty of beers on tap to choose from, with an option for tall drafts. Prices were fairly reasonable. The bouncers and bartenders were very welcoming when I told them I was out of town, as well as so many great regulars welcoming me! Got to see Nathan Dean play that night and he and his band killed it! Looking forward to visiting next time I'm in AZ! read more

Wow. If I could give negative stars I would. Most fucked up place I've ever been to. Bartender yelling incoherently, feeding off pro-trump behavior. Almost everyone here throughly disgusts me...everyone here is severely over-served with the bartender(older, I'd say 50's bleach blonde, glasses) only encouraging more drinking. How about you give a shit about people's well being instead of making a buck. First time here and so disappointed a place like this exists. Everyone here need to wake the hell up. I'm sorry ya'll haven't fought for yourselves.... read more

Tacos being sold outside is great. Service is great. Love the live music on the weekends. Lots of dancing. read more

Me and my friends been here multiple of times and out of no where after letting me and my friends in, 15mins later they said we had fake ID's when 3 of us are over the age of 30 & one is 28. They checked our ID's before we went in. But when waiting for our drinks they kicked us out saying we had "FAKE" ID's .....when we tried to tell them other wise we got denied... feel like we RACIALLY PROFILED!! read more

Best bar in the East Valley! Love Tom's Darts Live music TouchTunes Best bartenders in town! read more

Service: 0 out of 5 nonexistant. Music: 3 out of 5 for musical talent with the live band; volume needed a stadium. Volume: 0 out of 5 for inability to speak to anyone because the volume of music prevented interaction, "Would you like to dance?" "What? You like my pants? Say again??!" Dance floor: 2 out of 5 for difficulty going to and from the dance floor; edges of the dance floor unclear as it merges into the tables. Ambiance: 1 out of 5. Bar Service: 1 out of 5 for difficulty to get to the bar and then to get the attention of the bartender, never enough staff to help. Why in the world would a bar owner allow people to have to WAIT to pay BIG MONEY for a simple drink? No answer. Food? Didn't know there was food. read more

I don't understand why such a low number on the reviews. This place is the place to be in Chandler with live bands, pool tables and noice outside patio. The employees were great. Their service was great. I didn't have any food, but that'll be on my next visit to Chandler. I visited this place with my friends Who live in Chandler Arizona thank you guys for such a great time. I'll never forget this place. It'll always be on my list when I come back. read more

This was ok for a dive bar. It was kind of an awkward feeling walking in. It was obvious we weren't "regulars" here by the stares we got from the other patrons. There were plenty of dart boards and there seemed to be a tournament going on. Was cool to watch. The bartender was really attentive. We were served as soon as we walked in. Since there isn't a food menu (not even appetizers) we decided to just have one drink and leave. I had an Irish mule and my gf had a jack and coke. I could barely taste the Jameson in my drink and my gf had a good mix in her drink. We had our drink, paid our tab and left. There was no live music during the time we were there but there is a stage for live music. read more

Awesome service! Very friendly atmosphere. Great country music. A great place to play darts

Me and my bestie love this bar! We go often almost every other week and have made so many local friends here. Always lots of dancing and they always have a live band. 10/10 recommend if you love two stepping and country music! We'll see ya at the bar ;) read more

SINGLE WOMEN BEWARE I caught someone trying to put a drop in my drink. I refuse to leave my drink unattended. The bouncer followed me around and told me I couldn't walk with a drink in my hand. When I told him I felt unsafe, he said it wasn't his problem, he was there to watch the door alone. I did NOT feel safe as a single woman there and could not leave my drink unattended, but was not allowed to move with my drink. Unacceptable. Treat your patrons with respect and look after the ones that are giving money to your establishment. read more

Tom Ryan's is your typical dive bar. Live music and awesome bartenders especially Dove! She's the best! They even have frozen pizzas for when you get hangry and it's an emergency LOL read more

From the outside it doesn't look like much. Just a bar in a strip mall. But inside, the place is huge. There is a very nice sized dance floor, plenty of seating, darts and pool and a stage. Parking seems ample. For me, the only downside is that they don't have any of my favorite beers and a cosmo with Tito's for $15 seems a bit on the high side for a dive bar. Although I will say, the pour is generous so there's that. But my absolute favorite thing about going to Tom Ryan's is the staff. Beautiful, Amazon bartender, Nina and the beautiful, petite and super funny manager, Julie elevate the experience. Good place to get your country (or any other dance) on. They get nothing but Love and positive vibes from me! read more

We love penny and the service!!! Been coming here for the last year and could not feel anymore at home! Quick service!

This place is awful. Ordered a Tito's and cranberry and it was all cranberry no vodka at all. Rude waitress and they don't serve food. STAY AWAY. we left without paying or drinking the drinks. read more

My friends and I have been regulars at Tom Ryans's since its early days. It used to be the place to go for live music and country dancing at it's best. Ownership changed a couple of times, with varied results, but a few years ago the original investors and management retook the helm of the bar. As single women, we had become used to security staff who would always make us feel safe. In this day and age, the safety of female clientele should obviously be a priority for management. Sadly, the opposite has happened. When a woman is 86'ed from a bar because she got very upset and vocal over repeatedly being touched inappropriately and the offender is allowed to continue his ways, something is definitely wrong. Video proof was ignored and apparently management has decided to ignore the strides that our country is trying to make to allow women to choose who can and cannot touch their bodies. Apparently it is still a thing to blame the victim. If you are a woman who wants to be safe in public, I would choose another bar. If you are a man who enjoys molesting women against their will in public, this place is for you. read more

Omg I can't even explain how fun this place is! I am absolutely NOT a country girl by any stretch of the imagination but I am having the BEST time! Kim and Jack (adorable blond) at the bar were super helpful and totally made the entire experience amazing!!! Kyle was the best! He made everyone feel comfortable! It doesn't look like much but check it out! You'll be surprised! read more

Just a great time all around! Great live music and atmosphere, and friendly staff. Go check it out!

No cover, live band... need I say more? Yes, it's country music but I'm a little bit country. What's great about this place is the dancing. I two step, waltz, west coast and east coast swing and so do the cowboys that frequent this place. My friends and I barely had a chance to sip our drinks, we were always on the dance floor. I've only been here twice and we danced our asses off both times. Also, they have an enclosed smoking patio with a bar. There seems to be an entirely different crowd out there but still a lot of fun. The drinks are meh, I had a rum & coke that tasted like cough syrup so I just stuck to beer and shots. Cocktail waitresses were very attentive. read more

I had an incredible experience at this bar! It is very quaint and has a cool vibe to it. However, what really made my trip was the bartender Paige! She was super friendly, made delicious drinks, checked up on me regularly so that my water and drink were never empty. Also important, I felt safe because she made sure people were doing what they need to do to stay healthy and safe and made me feel so welcome! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in AZ. read more

We saw a man drop his motorcycle on a parked car next to him in (literally) the first parking spot out front facing the bar. He was drunk beyond all belief and his friends just picked him up, dusted him off, and watched him speed away. He left two obvious dents in the car and didn't say a word. I called the next day to tell the bar and the manager seemed less than interested. If you're reading this and it was your car- let me know, I have pictures! As for the bar itself, service is slow and waitresses seem uninterested. Bathrooms are dirty prices are high for a dive bar. You're better off going to Jolie's or The Reef 2! read more

Chill place. Okay music. Definitely a country music bar. Security/bar back is awesome. Walked me to my car after a guy made an advance i wasn't comfortable with. Bartenders are super awesome. People are nice. Always interesting conversations. My regular spot but shout out to security for going the extra mile for a females safety. Much appreciated read more

I have known about this place for many years and would stop in every now and then but then I started to go to Jolie's more and thought would give it a try and it has won me over this summer and now hardly go to Jolie's... Honesty I have only have a few knocks on this place and one is not having food besides pizza, popcorn and peanuts, but now with uber eats and the ATL around the corner for those that want wings, no problem. We cheat sometimes and go eat at Jolie's but don't stay there much longer after. I am a short guy can I get a step stool for the men's bathroom lol So many games here, cornhole, touch screen, pool... And they have leagues or open tournaments on the weekends and during the week. I am good at darts but the people that come in to play are so nice and teach even new tricks. They have some pool sharks here which are everywhere lol but pool is free on Monday's and that is great. Great jukebox can download ap to your phone and good bands on weekend. As mentioned before great mix of age group esp on FRI/SAT nights lol...The regulars are a good group too from AZ natives, and from coast to coast. Have not had a problem starting up a conversation here... There are some "clicks" but so far everyone there has been great... Great happy hour deals, great selection of drinks, but what sells the place for me and my group (wolfpack) is the staff.... Katie, Paige, Summer, Crystal are amazing. They are not just working for tips they are genuine and that is rare these days. And even the boys Kyle and Amir treat everyone great and keep the house in order. Not want to leave any names out but the staff does kick a$$.... If you want fun time, be treated like you would treat someone, this is a bar for you read more

Good looking staff, good looking patrons. Lots of Cowboys y Caballeroes. Great sounding Live music. Will come back.

It's been a while since we stopped into Tom Ryan saloon. Cruising on Friday night we decided to make a stop since we found out that Tom's was open again after a brief closure. Upon arriving we noticed the parking lot was void of many of the motorcycles that I have been there previously. Upon entering we also noticed that inside had been cleaned up somewhat and the clientele had seem to be a little more mature than doing earlier visits. The band playing was the breakaways and were typical country band music was very good. The staff and the wait was minimal as we sat at the bar. The only fault that I found with Tom Ryan's is the lack of the kitchen and the only food are light snacks. However, if you're looking for a place with good country music, good size dance floor and a fun crowd, Tom Ryan's is a good place to be. It has a long history in our area and it is one of the better country western bars in the southeast Valley of Phoenix. I believe in my personal opinion that if Tom Ryan's had a small kitchen served at least some bar food they would have a four star rating. This bar is made for drinking and dancing. read more

Tom Ryan's Lounge - Dive Bars Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

This is one of the coolest country dive bars ever!!! Ok, that seems like an oxymoron but it really is a fun place to hang out. A total locals bar and they even serve jello shots! My friend and I headed there after a very delicious dinner at Kona Grill (at the recommendation of their sushi chef) and loved it as soon as we walked in. The place had all the requisites of a dive bar: neon lights, beer labeled bar tables, cheap drinks and jello shots. It was a great place to watch the locals do their thing. Lots of cowboy hats and big buckles. The band started up and boy did these locals tear up the dancefloor! There were some amazing dancers twirling around in their cowboy boots. I'd never seen a guy twirl three girls at one time before! Of course we had to try our shot at the dancefloor and I failed miserably but had a total blast doing it. Note to self, "Don't talk when dancing, you lose count and either trip or step on someone's foot." I'm sure I looked like a dork but I didn't care and honestly I don't think anyone else did either. There was a very funky mixed crowd from girls in their early 20's to guys in their late 60's. The best thing about this place was everyone was super friendly and were having a terrific time. All their beers on tap are domestic except for Heineken. I went back a few days later with my coworker, it was ladies night with $1 drinks! Who doesn't love that? I ordered a glass of wine and was expecting it to be served in a plastic cup but they actually gave me a wine glass! :D I did get lots of looks though which was pretty funny. Best thing about this place, no smoking inside the bar. read more
