I love the vibe from this place. Except when I can't find my bank card from the bar after I asked for check. And there were 2 people showed up somehow. Put their hands on my body to pushed me out of bar. I explained the situation about I can't find my bank card and they don't care. Still put their hands on my body and pushed me out of the bar. I am 6.4 tall but a really nice guy. This thing has never happened on me before. I understand all of the policies and just expected they are more care about costumer services instead of this thing happens on anyone. When someone lost the bank card and no rights to ask for help. Hopefully this thing had never happened again. read more

Vine Tavern & Eatery - Pookie's Cookie - Irish Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Very good variety of chicken wings. Menu is nicely priced the staff is great as well. Very nice place to go for an afternoon happy hour.

Been a regular here for more than ten years now. We come by a few times a month usually for lunch or dinner but I also come with friends about once a week for a beer. I don't think of this location as a "dive bar" but more of a neighborhood restaurant. I frequently see families with young kids dining at this establishment. I used to say the Vine has the BEST french fries. Lately they haven't been up to par AND they've been holding out. Portions have decreased. Most of the items on the menu are pretty good and they have set special every day of the week. What I don't like about the Vine: *They charge for a ramekin of anything extra. Really? You have to charge me for buffalo sauce? I swear it takes longer for them to approach the table, then you got another wait for them to bring the drinks. I realize part of the fault could be the kitchen but the other delays are exclusively the server. We don't come here to watch the game or just drink a few beers, we come to enjoy a meal and then we our out of there. Wish they had a better selection of beers on tap. Also wish they would put the races (drags) on when they're playing instead of multiple tvs playing assorted ball games. Really, a little improvement with the service would be a welcome upgrade. read more

Alright, good nice atmosphere inside. I was expecting a bot more Irish fare, shepherds pie, sausage and potatoes. Burger was good onion rings nice. read more

One our normal places to eat. Although this evening I had a server drop a honey mustard on the floor which got on my shoe, leg, glasses, and new phone. He said sorry and came out with a wet smelly rag to clean up. Now this wasn't our normal server who was a female with red hair. It was a younger guy. Long story short, for the inconvenience, there was no retro active service for me having to clean the mess up and I'm assuming no manager was ever notified of the mishap. Because we were still charged for the full service...I work on a professional level of customer service and this by far was swept under the rug. read more

I brought my mom here as the vine was always her place and I frequent here on lunch. Never again. I have never felt more unwelcome until now. Cathy, the woman working behind the bar made sure we felt like an absolute inconvenience from the moment we sat down until we left. But as soon as any man walked in, she was ready and willing to serve them. 30 MINUTES after we were done eating she still hadn't asked us if we wanted a to go box, or even asked us if our food was good. I will gladly give my weekly business to another establishment moving forward because of her and her shitty service. Sad to give up my favorite place but there are many other places willing to earn our business. read more

What a disappointment, 10 years ago the Vine was great. Clean, good food, good service. Now it's crap, dirty, very poor service, low quality food. The whole place smelled like marijuana. Even the front entrance door looks like walking into a dump. Really sad, used to love this place read more

Wow has this place gone down hill! Used to be a nice neighborhood bar that was clean with good food and service. Not so much anymore. We went today, party of 5. Took 15 minutes before we could place a drink order and another 10 minutes before we had our drinks ( one of the kegs blew?). We ordered 2 dozen wings, a shareable appetizer platter and two more appetizers along with 3 PBRs and a few well drinks. Bill? $130. The portions we like a kids meal. The place is so dirty inside and out, run down and lacks too many things to type. You have lost a long time customer. read more

Decent food. Decent atmosphere... cane here to spy on a friend on a date. Queso cheese dip was amazing but my burger was just so-so. Drink prices a great read more

Horrible service. Customer walks behind bar. The chicken wings were the smallest wings ive ever had. New customers walk in and bartender nowhere to be found, on multiple occasions. Have to keep asking for another beer instead of bartender doing her job. One of the worst places ive been to in 40 years . I would not go back even if if it were free as staff hangs out drinking and with customers they know while ignoring everyone else. read more

Worst nachos ever, spinach artichoke dip dry and entire order was cold . We were told 15-20 minutes , it sat, obviously . $7 for a side of queso? ( which you need for the dry , all lettuce , Nachos) Queso comes in a can, folks. I'm sure the entire can was $10 . Customer service at the bar was appalling... does this place need business? Apparently not! The only saving grace is their hostess, Bri ... very sweet to us read more

Always great. We love to come for the wings and the beer. Service is fast and friendly.

We have been coming here for years but lately the crowd on the nights we come are rowdy, drunk and using loud vulgar language. We will not be patronizing this establishment in the future and supporting another business. Hopefully the drunks don't ruin the business. read more

Okay, Vine. This is place is a pub and serves pub food--there's a problem here: As I am a vegetarian and I ordered the Gardenburger, it's not really all that fair of me to review a place like this based on what I ate. If the Gardenburger sucked, it really wouldn't be the fault of the restaurant. To review a joint like this, you really have to try their meat dishes (most of the menu) and/or their beer. Since I neither eat meat nor drink alcohol, I can't do that. The Gardenburger turned out to be better than the one I've had at a lot of places, so at least there's that for what it's worth. So what's left? Well, the fried zucchini was quite good. Service was excellent and friendly. This has apparently been a favorite family restaurant for many years and still holds this distinction. Minuses? Well, it's noisy, but with all the kids and ASU students present on a Saturday night, that's no surprise. The plates they give you to hold the food are surprisingly small, but that's about the worst thing I can say about this place. Overall, I had a very enjoyable time here. Next time, I'll have another veggie Jo burger with fries, a Diet Coke, maybe an appetizer, and just chill. Fair review or not, I recommend Vine Tavern & Eatery. I think you would too. read more

the best wings and sour cream and chive fries!!! it's a little bit of a drive from where i live but so worth it!

The Vine has been a favorite for years and for good reason - good food, good specials, good service and good atmosphere. I've watched many memorable games from The Vine, shared plenty of office gossip with coworkers over the wonderful Happy Hour at The Vine and have made great memories out to eat with friends and family at The Vine. That's right, The Vine is family-friendly. Although be warned, if you bring the kids in during a big game they may hear an expletive or three. As a regular myself I'd second what many others have noted in their reviews, The Vine staff are very personable and such a pleasure to get to know. I don't understand how so many member of the staff remember my name let alone my food and drink order, but The Vine staff know what's up. My favorites are the Little Joe Sliders with Fries and the wings. Sometimes in the same sitting. My only complaints are that I wish the patio was larger (and smoke-free, but it's a sports bar so I get it) and I wish The Vine hosted Trivia Night. Otherwise it's the perfect neighborhood sports bar. read more

My family loves going here but the last several times we have had severe long wait times for our order and food, we were giving them second chances but tonight was the last straw after we were ready to place an order of drinks and food (after waiting 15 minutes) and the waiter said he can only take our drinks right now because it's busy (it was not busy). read more

I really don't know why this place is only 3*. I guess people believe they expect 5 star cuisine and service from a sports bar in Tempe, AZ. Well to start there are TV's everywhere and they will accommodate whatever you would like to watch including UofA games even though it's not on their preferred list of games.... ever. Food is really good, like is it 5* cuisine?? No it's not, but it's real good bar food. The Reuben is better than most and I prefer the buffalo chicken wrap with spicy honey mustard sauce. The deals... well one of the very very few bars that do weekEND deals. Drinking a stein glass of coors light for $4 right now. Can't argue with that. People will always find a reason to hate a place, but for a local sports bar you can't do much better than this place. read more

Amazing service and great food! The workers provide great costumer service and make it an overall comfortable experience.

DO NOT ORDER BONELESS CHICKEN WINGS!!! Been a while since we ordered these and will never do it again. They were more like shaped coins. Way over done and very tough. We only ate 4 of the 12. McDonalds would be a better choice and a lot less expensive. Told the server our thoughts and she just agreed with us and went on her way. read more

My favorite wings in AZ! My buddies and I have been coming here for 15+ years. Environment and people are always relaxed. Love this place read more

Vine Tavern & Eatery - Best wings ever! - Irish Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I defy you to find smaller wings...Think legs of a Pigeon not a Chicken. The vine used to be great but idk what happened...a dozen wings to go cost $14.99 plus 1.99 for grilled plus 1.50 extra to-go. That's just under $20 for literally the smallest wings I've ever seen. When everyone and their brother has wings on the menu, I definitely won't be back. It was seriously laughable. And why on earth is there a charge to-go? I don't even care, it's waaayyyyy worse than literally any other wing place in the valley. read more

Not only is this bar just amazing but the service rocks! We had a messed up order through GrubHub and Cathy, the manager at the Vine made it all better. By the way, the buffalo quesadilla is amazing! read more

Food prices went up again, their latest menu prices are put of control. Time to find another bar to watch football.

Quite crowded on a Friday during the tail end of the Happy Hour. Lots of big parties and some regular oldies crowding the bar. The happy Hour deals are Ok, but nothing crazy. Two bucks off about five appetizers including their popular wings that everybody swears are the best in the Valley. I did not try them, but my boring date scarfed down almost a dozen and liked them. My $8.99 turkey melt was a good sandwich that included fresh sliced turkey, bacon, cheese and lettuce and tomato with a good honey mustard on the side. The fries needed improvement as they were skinny and not cooked enough. About a buck off on domestic beers and a real friendly bartender made for a good experience at this bar. Prices very reasonable across the board. read more

Fav dive bar in the East Valley. Plenty of tv, beer choices and good wings. Happy hour is the stuff at this local.

AHHH yes. The good ol' Vine. Home of the neighborhood alcoholics, regulars and chicken wing enthusiast. The bar is littered with regulars that have their permanent spots, the blonde floozy with her glass of wine loud enough for everyone to hear her and draw their attention, mingling from table to table talking to people that she knows. The old grey haired guy sitting all alone raises his empty bottle of Coors Light to the bar staff and is quickly replaced. My girl wanted chicken wings and we happen to be driving by when a sudden right was taken into their parking lot. Food was average, and service was average. Can't say anything bad or great. They just get a solid C on the grading curve. I think you know what you're getting when you walk in here. Anything below 3 stars is more of a "shame on you" you should know better. read more

It's the 2nd time I come here! So good! Today we had Dominick as our server! What a pleasure he is! He's knowledgeable and super quick on the uptake! Good job Dominick! The Vine is lucky to have you! Good is excellent even when it's so busy! That to me speaks volumes. Thank you for another great evening! read more

Ya know, I'm rooting for The Vine. I really am. On their best days, which has been years ago now, I loved their food and their service. We've come to The Vine for many years, all the way back to when it was $1.99 for a dozen wings! Yes, it's been well over a decade since then, but sheesh! We went tonight and a dozen wings were $12.50! AMERICAN DOLLARS! I thought I'd skip that racket and have a chicken sandwich, but I should have just made a PB and J at home and saved my cash. The bun was stale smelling and so dry it was tough to get down. The chicken breast was meh, but the classic Vine wing sauce saved it. But, I could have had a better chicken sandwich at Popeye's for less than half the price. I tried to give our server the benefit of the doubt, but for a slow Saturday (and that's saying something, isn't it?), she was less than attentive, leaving us with empty drinks for well over 15 min and we had to flag her down. I asked for salt, to try to camp that stale bun a bit, and that took at least another 10 min to get. Like I said, I want The Vine to rally and have a comeback as a great neighborhood place to watch sports and have delicious wings. But, the last few years have left me underwhelmed. C'mon, Vine! Get it together! read more

This rating was based mostly on the food. First time here. Service was just ok at best. We had wings-small but crispy & delicious. Sauces-garlic Parmesan, hot and bbq hot-all delicious. Cajun tots were the bomb!! Even kid's Mac & cheese was excellent. It wasn't the usual boxed stuff. Atmosphere was chill. read more

Service is not good, they take forever to help u. Food is ok not the best, overpriced for the taste of the food.

Waitress at this place was very very rude. We had to sit and wait almost 3 hours because she took my ID and they wouldn't serve us food or anything while we waited for the cops to come and receive my REAL ID back from the waitress and the manager. Waitress also said we need to sit outside in the 105 degree weather for the cops to come. Before the cops came, they gave the ID back to me and the waitress wouldn't even come to the table. read more

Vine Tavern & Eatery - The wings here are atrocious. They are so small that eating my thumb would have more meat - Irish Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I don't get. I entered the restaurant, complied with restaurant etiquette, waiting at the host station and no one came around. The 2 "Blue Moon" girls were doing their thing, looked at me and turned away, talking to the woman bartender, who also looked at me and turned away. Finally I go to the he bar table, waited a few minutes in hopes of getting the bartenders attention, still being ignored. Another woman customer approaches the bar and the bartender assists her, now I'm peeved. The bartender, still ignoring me, walks to the host station, does something, so I contacted her. Here's where it got interesting. I asked her if I looked like a customer, "Yes you do " she replied. So I asked, "why are you ignoring me then?" She said that she hadn't ignored me and that the other woman needed help so she assisted her, with that little smug tone mean spirited people get who won't admit they're mean, but have to drive home that they're right and you're an ass, whole basically admitting she had ignored me by helping the other woman 1st. I got a little peterved here and asked, "little smart a**, call you're manager." "I am the manager," with that little smile and a tone of satisfaction. I mean, after all, she won. So I walked out and ate else where. I'm a theoat cancer patient with a hole, or a "stoma," allowing me to breathe and talk. It's something I had no choice on getting, something about living or dieing, and have been the brunt of jokes, or just meanness. But I wonder if this is what happened today. What else could it be? I mean, I'm no Brad Pitt, but I'm no Dennis either, (can't say the last name because he's a friend and don't want to upset him, but believe me, he's the ugliest man I've ever seen), and didn't deserve the meanness of this woman. Shame on you. read more

I have three words for you -- pork... tenderloin... sandwich. That is why I'm giving the Vine four stars. You often can't find these delicious treats in Phoenix -- it's an Iowa thing -- which I find surprising, since so many people from Iowa live here. I'm a native of Arizona, but my roots are deeply entrenched in the corn fields of Iowa. My parents are from there, and they brought with them a love of the pork tenderloin. So, when they heard about The Vine, and their offering of a pork tenderloin sandwich, they woohoo'd their way to the nearest Vine (which at that time was on Indian School & 28th St -- now called McKenna's). And ever since, the whole family have been fans! I have dared, on occasion, to forgo the p.t. sandwich and try something different, and I have never been disappointed. They have your typical sports bar/pub food, which is decent, but I must say their french fries are fantastic -- thin, shoestring fries, that are crispy with just the right amount of salt. And, to go back to the p.t. sandwich, I'll say that it isn't totally a typical Iowa pork tenderloin. Its breading is a little spicy, and they include a side of chipotle mayonnaise, both of which adds a nice kick. I guess they decided to add a bit of Southwest flavor to a Midwestern standard. No complaints here! So, if you're ever in the mood for a sandwich that reminds you of your Midwestern roots, or you're just in the mood for some great food, visit the Vine, and you'll wonder, "Is this heaven? No, it's Iowa." read more

Oh the Vine. My go-to spot after I play in my co-ed soccer games in Tempe during the week. Nothing like a cold beer after 90-minutes of hard play! First of all, they have the best staff! I may be biased as I have a few friends that work there but nonetheless they treat all their customers with incredible service. If you're going to be sitting up at the bar, ask for Carter or Matt! If you're going to be sitting at a table, go to Margie, Marcus, Jordan, or Casey. They are all fabulous! The Vine is known for their wings...really they were given a nod for best wings which I completely agree with and support. They have great sauce flavors and you can mix and match as you please. Boneless or bone-in, they're delish. The have these tasty yet dangerous little things called the Apple Pie shot which is made at The Vine. I highly recommend trying on or ordering a round for the table because it's something everyone will enjoy. Just be careful not to have too many as they do pack a punch! You can't really go wrong with anything you order on their menu. They have a wide selection of options but a few notables would be the cheese fries, tater tots, nachos, fish tacos...and the list continues. A great spot to bring some friends to watch your favorite sports team play. Since they are in Tempe, they do support ASU, but even this Wildcat can overlook their poor taste in sports teams for their wonderful food and staff! :) read more

All right...dragged the kids in. The son thinks the wings are comparable to New Yorker...hubbie now thinks they are better than the New Yorker. The hot wings have to be a big bonus for my guys since they like things HOT. Medium does it for me. Hubbie commented he doesn't feel as full after Vine wings, so maybe something they do w/ their prep causes less bloat???? Daughter liked her chicken salad. It definitely beats any salad the New Yorker will serve you. I think we have a new go-to place when the guys are hankering for wings. So we made it 2 weeks in a row and I am wanting wings again tonight. Maybe 3 weeks????? So Woohoo for the wings! read more

The Vine is a good place for wings, beer and burgers. The last visit, I tried the hot and medium wings with a few other people and as always, everyone thought the wings were good. The beer selection and the happy hour pricing is also reasonable. The wings could be a little meatier, but they were crisp, well seasoned and lean. They stand out among for wings mainly because so many places have the lower quality fatty ones, which I just don't like at all. The seasonal beer toped it off. They had the local Four Peaks Pumpkin Porter, which was new to me, but actually really good. Highly recommended if you like smooth, rich Porters. read more

Great service!! Food was good atmosphere was safe and great prices along with great views for football!!!
