So far my new fave dive bar close to home. The drinks are cheap and the bartenders are friendly! The only reason I didn't give the full five stars was because each bartender made my drink a bit different. They both tasted great! But, I ordered the same drink, and each bartender gave me completely different drink. Not mad about it, just a bit strange! read more

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

Love this Bar, love it. I don't know why I don't come here more often. Maybe because I'm in my 40's covered in tattoo's with a mohawk looking for a rock bar in this valley STILL to this day. I totally don't look like I belong here, but this is just a FUN bar. Bar staff is great, the music is awesome. I grew up on all this old country, reminds me of my childhood. The band sprinkles just a bit of new country, but I know most of these songs. Something about a few shots and beers makes me take my girl on the dance floor and try to fit in here. OH, another great thing about this place, DRINKS ARE CHEAP!!! I got 2 shots and a beer, handed her a 20 and got change back........this blew my mind!! I'm going to stop looking for that RnR bar that I want to hang out in, and start hanging out here more often. read more

Fun local bar that features live country western bands and dancing. Lots of locals on the dance floor which makes it fun even for the non dancer. Pool tables and inexpensive drinks make this a fun night out! read more

Cold beer. Cheap Ice cold domestic beer in a friendly neighborhood dance hall located in a dying strip mall. I found this place strip mall crawling. It is pretty much invisible from the road so you have to be really looking for it. The bartender was very friendly. Service was good. I came back the next day to watch a football game and had a good time. The place is big and roomy with good service and cheap cold beer. The bartenders and regulars are real friendly. Seems everyone knows each other at this place. read more

Tom Ryan's is a good time and great service. Have pool tables and lots of dart boards.

My husband and I love Tom Ryan's! The drinks are cheap, everyone is always so friendly (employees and other customers alike!) and we feel so welcome. Our favorite bartenders are Katie and Paige!! read more

Best bar on earth live music you might even see me sing a few song! Staff is second to none drinks always flowing come wet your whistle I hope to see you here! read more

This place is probably what most would call a dive bar. It is a small spot in a rather hidden location but once you find it, it's pretty fun! It's a super casual country bar with inside and outside areas to drink, dance and enjoy. The prices of drinks are much cheaper then other bars and the service is fast and kind. There appear to be several locals here. The live band on the weekends are great! They have an awesome set and the crowd loves them. When I was here there was a bachelorette party happening which took up a lot of space here and made me feel like I was crashing their party. However, once they left, it was calmer and more relaxed. If you like live country music and cheap drinks this little local place may be a good spot for you! read more

You'll find every age group hanging out here, it's a nice mixture of people. There's live music with an area for dancing. There's a moderate amount of seating. There is also a bar outside with additional seating. They have about 5 dart stations and 2 pool tables. The service is great, the two girls that helped us out last Saturday were very friendly and attentive. Drink prices are pretty reasonable. It's not in the best location (a plaza) but parking is easy to find. read more

I miss the days of a local Country bar that offered country music, fun loving rowdy crowd, and great live music! these days they are all so trendy and they are more like clubs. This place is a gem in a city full of wannabes! Its a bit of a drive but Tom Ryans is definitely worth it. When I walked in there was Jake Owen "tell me" playing on the jukebox and it was darker lit room with neon lights shining, pool tables bangin on the side, and high-tops wrapped around a nice sized dance floor... Ahhhh it felt like home! I had a couple beers and just chilled. The bartenders were so friendly and nice, however I did see their tough side come out when 1 customer got stupid, I was surprised as a big guy I wasn't asked to help. Around 9pm the band started playing and it wasn't the same ol country music (friends in low places), it was new mixed with old and it was good! I had to take a couple spins on the dance floor and if I was stationary my boot was tapping along the whole time. Around 10pm it started getting pretty busy. All the customers were so much fun and nice and just fun loving rowdy people. I was sad to have to leave early, but my buddy had to meet friends at another place. If your looking for a fun, good country music and a rowdy time this is the place for you. I will definitely be back. read more

We hadn't been in years and decided to go to Tom Ryans a couple weeks ago. Had a great night listening and dancing to the best music of Daisy Train. read more

What a tragedy. Mike and sue, only owners for about a year, ran this diamond in the rough into the ground. They alienated most of the regulars and treated the long time employees like trash. They destroyed and then walked away from the best country lounge in the valley. Their arrogant california attitude ruined this home to so many people. They scattered the best country talent and customers away. We heard they high tailed it back to CA. Good riddance. Hopefully some real home grown Arizonan's with respect and pride and true business sense will patch this broken home back together read more

It's an older crowd for sure, but is fun for any age if you go with a group. Almost all country music, but the regular crowd on the dance floor is pretty entertaining. A lot of "cougars" and plenty of opportunity for debauchery if you are a guy in your 20s... if that's the direction you are looking to go. Drinks are cheap, so that should help you make some bad decisions. There seem to be a lot of fights at this bar. Then again, that can be fun to watch too. read more

I live less than a mile from here and took over a year to get here. Never realized what a hidden gem it was. if you like country dive bars this is for you. Food is not great, but it's good. It's the atmosphere that makes this place a winner. read more

Not a bad place for a couple drinks on a night where crowds aren't your thing. Bit of an older crowd most nights, but everyone has always been friendly. Very nice staff always helpful. Be warned, on weekends when you open a tab, it's a place that puts a 20 dollar hold on your card until it clears with the bank, and I didn't know that beforehand, so when my card ran twice, well, the next day I wasn't too happy. But the servers made up for it with some drink chips and everything was ok after a few days. Good jukebox selection read more

I used to live by this dive. It was a great place around the corner if you wanted to hear good live country music. I grew up in the south so there was always a bar like Tom Ryan's around, but here in the valley its not that easy to find a quality dive with good country music playing and some excellent dancers that are regulars to the bar. read more

Great times in this bar. Awesome prices. Friendly service and awesome security on the weekends. All in all a great place to hang out!

I like this bar. I really enjoyed the band Zona Road..good prices and the service was good. The ladies room is ok. Very old, needs remodeled.. read more

Great country hole in wall decent drink specials and live music older demographic so pretty laid back and a good time if over 50 besides that there immediate competition is Jolie's place which is never with out customers read more

This is my favorite spot in the area. You just have to know when to go. Pros: cheap drinks, overall easy atmosphere, frequented by an older crowd so people are generally calm and respectful, excellent staff,(Kylie, Paige, and Katie are amazing!) They have tons of TVs, and the outdoor area is pretty cool in the event of a rainstorm. Cons: the Thursday and Friday night bartender is trash. She won't acknowledge you unless she has your tab, and even if she does, it seems like she won't serve you unless you're a personal friend. This holds true wether the bar is busy or not. She's a good way to ruin the start of your weekend. Also, no food. I get it, they don't have a kitchen, it just makes things harder if you're hungry. They have dart league during the week, which can unintentionally get a bit obnoxious at times. The barstools are beat to shit, I've seen two break just by being sat on, it's kind of a running joke "who sits on a landmine". Also seen some weird stuff in the parking lot. Totally not the bars fault, but you just have to take that into consideration. My advice... eat first, stand at the bar, avoid Crystals shifts. read more

I liked it better when it was "Group Therapy". They used to have rock and blues bands there and it was a calmer and gentler crowd. The hillbilly music they play now is so depressing, no wonder those guys drink and fight the way the way they do. I went there once and before I could finish my beer I heard glass break three times and saw two fights. I won't be back. read more

Good bartender, fan friggin tastic bloody mary's. 1st time drinking at 8am since I worked graveyard shifts and pleased.

Someone needs to train the Monday night bartender a little better but the biggest dudes there are women so it's a fun place to hang out

I"m giving this place 3 stars becasue my party should've been thrown out and the cops should've been called but no one seemed to care that there was a wrestling match going on in front of the bar. The shots were pricey and so were the beers, but I will say that the shots were NOT watered down. If you are planning a night out where debauchery is bound to be found then is one of the places to head.... read more

Jake is the best t bartender in the Phoenix metro area great service drinks and music

Love this place. Bartenders are fantastic. Cheap drink prices as well. Great atmosphere for a country bar. Great place to sit and relax

Reminded last night why we gave up on this place! I have been here after 4 hours at Jolie's, where I have eaten and my bar tab has literally been more for 4 drinks than my entire tab at Jolie's. This has happened twice and both times had been during the week. read more

I came to Arizona not knowing anyone and never listened to country music neitherless danced to it. I met my first friend on Cinco De Mayo at a restraurant and she told me about Tom Ryan's. One Friday she invited me to meet her there. And I did. When I walked into that place I knew this was going to be the bar I would be coming to every Friday and Saturday. And I did. I met a lot of people there. They were all friendly especially the bartenders and the owners. . I met a man name Cord who sings for a living and he was the one that taught me how to two step and dance. Thank you Core. Now I am sad to hear this bar closed down. Thank you Sue and Mike for all the great memories of your fantastic bar and you. Always Lolly (The Californian) read more

I like this place. Great drink specials, fun live music and pool tables. A nice suprise in a rather deserted shopping complex.

please beware that they will override your song selection on the jukebox which is ludicrous. grow up. what is the point of a jukebox if you cant hear what you paid for. Bartender told me he overrode my song bc "no one wants to hear that $hi7" mind you there were 5 ppl in the bar. Thank goodness I don't live here. read more

So good to see Tom Ryan's open again & apparently this is still a big secret! Wait staff was very friendly, the band so-so, but having country dancing back in Chandler is such a treat that we won't be passing it up. We'll definitely be back! read more

Best Dive Bar! I love the $2 beers from 6 to 6 everyday and the all girl bartending staff are hilarious. Great service and definetly one of the larger bars. Not too much on the menu other than egg roles, pizza, and corndogs. They have free cheese puffs, pretzles, and peanuts too. Just enough food to satisfy the drinking munchies. Live country music Thur, Fri, Sat and they have Texas Holdem and Pool Tourneys. I wish they would have country dancing lessons as it looks like a lotta fun but I wouldn't know where to start. Always something going on. One of the best things is the ladies room....love the pictures in there of David Beckem and the hot cowboys. I can't imagine what the dudes bathroom looks like. Oh and $1 beers Thursday nights for the ladies...can't beat that. Kinda hard to see from the road, but worth the seach! read more

I loved it here it's small quiet great music! The bathroom was clean! Kim the bartender is awesome! The people are cool great place to get away read more

My girlfriends and I always have a blast here. The regular's are friendly and great dancers. It's a fun local place to hang out and list to some great Country music. If your looking for a fun place to do a little country dancing check this place out. read more
