Super sad about my last experiance here. This has been my faveorite bar since I moved to Phoenix two years ago. The one place as someone from the lgbt community that I could go have a fun night out and feel safe. But as of my last visit, I was not only peeked over the bathroom stall while my pants were down by what turned out to be a male manager concerned that we were doing drugs (while my parnter was helping me with an incredibly embaressing medical issue that would have otherwise been unabruptive to anyone elses club experiance. Not any kind of illegal act of any kind)- but then continuously harassed throughout the night following that. He claimed we had been causing problems all night when we had LITERALLY just walked in, stopped by the bathroom where my privacy was invaded, then went outside for a drink together. He threatened my partner, physically bowing up to her while she politely tried to explain that we just wanted to be left alone to have a nice night and a drink together outside. It all ended with him still billigerantly fussing at us and trying to physically put his hands on me when I asked to please not to be touched all while she and I waited outside for our uber home 15 minutes after our arrival. It was absolutly awful, and I will absolutely never go back. I know the owner is a really great guy, and has always been happy, friendly,kind, and welcoming. I hope they get better staff to be there when he isn't around. It's really gone downhill. I wish I had the name to report him to the owner, but honestly it was so overwhelming at the time and I has so much going on elsewhere in life I just didn't want to revisit the incident and have just wanted to forget it happened at all. I was so embarrassed and hurt that the one place I felt safe from being harassed by men was lost. I decided I should finally post what happened with my review and why I rated a place I used to love so much 1 star. Hoping things get better and no one has to go through what I did. It is otherwise a really lovely place.

No. Follow Up: Stacy, When I walked in, he was assisting 3 customers. I walked up to the bar, we made eye contact. he knew I was there. While he was assisting the 3 people, 2 of his friends walked in. After finishing the drink order for the first 3 customers, he looked at me, then turned to his 2 fiends and started getting glasses ready to make drinks for them. I said..."Hello"? He turned to me and in a snarky, rude manner said..."Oh, did you want something"? He knew I was standing there with money in my hand to order a drink. But, he wanted to please his friends and humor them with tales of his vacation that he's planning. He told you he didn't understand my reaction? Really? I think what he does not understand is his purpose and job description. He also has no basic grasp on basic customer service practices. I'd be willing to bet...if you bought him for what he's worth and sold him for what he thinks he's worth, you'd make a good profit. Maybe you are content to have someone like that work for you, but I won't be back.

The manager was drunk when we arrived and confronted a group of us walking in. Stated he was a new manager and just took the state ‘law’ test, and knew everyone was under age. After being a regular customer, this is very disappointing. As I even attended he opening in Palm Springs if he new Stacy’s. For a drunk and clearly high bar manager who almost tripped coming out the door, I am done going here.

I love this bar!!! I moved into The Curve At Melrose Apartments about 3 months ago. It’s nice to have a gay bar right next door. I don’t have to worry about drinking and driving. For me the location is perfect. The bartenders are always super nice to me. I really do enjoy their friendly service. I’m new to Arizona so it certainly has made me feel welcome. The security at the door during the evening time are always nice and friendly and pleasant. I appreciate that. I’m 39, most of the crowd is younger during the evenings when I stop by for my drink. I do enjoy all of that eye candy. I really like the different themes and events that take place on certain nights of the week. Drag show night. Gothic style night. One or two nights a week have a buy one get one free special. The decor at Stacy’s reminds me a lot of The Abbey in West Hollywood. Stacy’s is for sure becoming a part of my life in Arizona. Thank you all for taking care of the community!!!

First time there, went for the drag show. It was SO much better than the ones I've seen at Charlie's.

I attended BG Bingo, and it was my first time at this establishment. I can't wait to go back! Amazing atmosphere, family oriented feeling by everyone in there and you're made to feel like a long lost family member. Oh and did I mention that they have glitter bingo dabbers!! But what I was taken aback by and loved was not only did they order pizza for everyone, but at the end of each game, we collectively helped each other clean yup, and at the end of Bingo we all cleaned up and put away our chairs. I really liked that! Pun totally intended, "It's like taking care of your own home"!!

Was really hoping for a great night especially with all the great reviews, but turned ugly, we showed up about 7:30, and was asked if we were excited to see the show! We weren't aware of any show being performed, but since we were going to be there great! How ever it turned out that there was a $25 charge per person for this show regardless of when you showed up, which we weren't told about at the door, so we were forced to guzzle our drinks and leave if we weren't going to pay! Not the customer service I'm used to giving in my line of buisness. Just be aware of if there having a show your not willing to pay for go somewhere else for a good evening!

I was so impressed by the interior Decor this place is spacious with everything you want on a night out. Jamie at the bar took great care of us. And Stacy thank you for welcoming us into your world. See you guys soon Pride's coming up and we're all going to have a great weekend

We were having a great time till the manager made it clear he didn’t like the ethnic music (Beyoncé…) playing this evening. Glad to know which bars are run by sad, old, racists before we settled here in Phoenix. I’ve worked security at gay bars in Boston and haven’t even seen a place clear out so quickly when the cops raided. The orange julius drink was good, but the manager is probably a 45 devote, so…save your coins and go to Rock or Karamba. JMHO.

I can’t speak about the general experience at Stacy’s as I’ve only attended on Communion nights. However, if you’re into alternative music (goth leaning for best enjoyment) and you’re lgbt in AZ, Communion night is amazing. Their drinks aren’t too expensive and the atmosphere is the biggest pro. I love to dance and my friend who would come with me and I would cut a rug enjoying the diff DJ’s mixes. The only con is the size of the dance floor (incredibly small) but the interior design/architecture is impeccable and I really recommend dancing at Communion!

So welcoming!!! They care about your experience. This is the place to be!!! Owner and staff are GREAT!!! SUPPORT THIS PLACE FOR SURE!!!. GOOD PRICES AND MUSIC. IM ALL FOR IT.

This has been my go to bar for months. Normally I’ve loved the atmosphere, and it was a safe space for me and my friends to come hang out. Last night a male assaulted two of my friends INSIDE the bar, and the staff did not kick him out even after I told multiple employees what occurred. Very disappointed in the way they responded. Not acceptable.

I had a great time tonight it was my birthday and the 2for 1 drinks were great

This is one of my favorite places in the world. It’s such a safe environment and they really focus on creating a wonderful space for our communities. The vibe is never wrong. Justin, Whitney, and Kristi and all the team are nothing short of amazing. There are plenty of places to be done melrose but Stacy’s is never short of a good time.

Stacey's is a great place to go out on any night. I go every Tuesday to catch the show "the queer agenda" and always have a blast you never know what to expect. I've always liked coming here though, Wednesdays buy one get one drinks every night is different i recommend checking it out.

The way this new owner has spoken to some of the staff and how he handled the recent firing of certain staff members is so unprofessional. I won't be spending any of my money at this bar ever again. This new owner is an entitled narcissist with no compassion whatsoever and doesn't deserve any of our hard earned money.

Literally walked in and sat at the bar. The bartender was a female and didn’t want to serve me. I walked outside to see if there was a back bar and it was empty. Like seriously I get that a show is going on but I walked in excited to see this place first time in Phoenix. I sat there like an idiot waiting for a drink. I’m guessing since most the clientele was white I was out of place. On the road trip not even salt lake treated me like this.

Not quite as popping as we had heard. Music and drinks are pretty standard. Not crowded as it should be.

Fun atmosphere and a very unique venue. Every night is something different. Tuesdays they have an alternative drag show, Wednesdays is a goth night. Great spot for people intimidated or unimpressed with the typical gay nightlife scene. Bartenders are always nice and I never wait long for someone to take my order.

Stacy's is my favorite bar/club to attend in Arizona. I've been a regular patron since 2017, attending for both their normal LGBTQ evenings as well as for Lilith to spend my night dancing away with my fellow goths. The owner is kind, caring, and happily socializes with the attendees when he's in town. The staff is outstanding, I've seen faces come and go but appreciate the hard work and dedication they bring. I feel safe, accepted, and encouraged to be myself here. I never want to know a world without this place.

Our favorite bar. They treat everyone the same, men, women, gay, lesbian or straight. We love Stacy he is always around!

Amazing place! Your welcome stacy glad i had a chance to meet you!

Fantastic and welcoming place. You won’t regret it

Great place. Cheap, good drinks. Different things every night. Very welcoming of all people. Go here for a fun, memorable night out! The shows they host are amazing!

We love this bar, it’s truly a establishment for anyone. Yoj will find all genres of people here straight and LGBTQ+ and music variety as well. Always great shows our favorite being PRIDE, Majik and Opulence! Entertainment this always top notch and what I expect in great drag performances. Kristi is our favorite bar tender she always recommends and makes amazing cocktails. She has never made a bad drink for us. We have never had a bad experience here and it’s refreshing to see Stacy walk around and thank you for your patronage. Always feel welcome here and highly recommend booking a reserved seat the for any show.

I had such a blast tonight at Stacey’s where I went to see Opulence their drag show. It was so unbelievably fun, it was such a blast and I 100% could not recommend it enough. The staff were polite but followed rules. The performers were such were lovely, LOVELY people. The patrons were lively and full of zest. I know the EMCEE made a joke about it being a family, but it does feel like it when you’re there. I cannot freaking WAIT to go back in the future <3

Great atmosphere. Bar tenders friendly. Goth night needs improvement. DJ with long hair amazing. Older DJ wearing red and white face make not good. Takes no requests and that is understandable. Plays no dark wave, goth, industrial. Why call it goth night if you only play electronic? Hire the long haired DJ for the entirety of the night. Many people left as soon as the older DJ started his second set. Ruined many peoples goth club experience.

this is usually one of my safe spaces but today i was deeply disappointed. i was harassed and assaulted by a male my friend group and I reported not only once but 3 times and nothing was done about it. it was a slap to the face.I would not recommend this place if you’re a woman. you’re treated as less than and that is unacceptable.

This is pretty much become my go-to bar. The clientele is eclectic, all ages, which is great. The staff is always a lot of fun.

Being discriminated against older people. I line for 15 minutes waiting to get a drink. While they serve younger people who just walked up and got a drink. Will never go back again. This is a terrible bar to go to.

I came here on Monday with my aunt and we had an amazing time. From the greeter at the door to the bartender and the DJ. The vibe was great everyone was friendly and I got to do karaoke for the 1st time. It was a very pleasant experience. I will definitely come again and recommend the bar to a friend or 2.

Apologies to the owner and staff this must have misposted by accident with less stars. They deserve a good review. I have been to Stacy's a handful of times throughout the years and each time I have gone I have not had any qualms. The joint is trendy, unique in its design, and the staff have always been kind and courteous. I want to go back soon to enjoy this fine establishment. Do the people that sell burritos still stop by? Yum!

I love this place. A little song, A little dance. Someone's hand down your pants.

Awesome bar!

Fantastically designed bar, designed to be like the interior of an old cathedral. And a very hospitable owner/bartender. The sound system for karaoke was superb.

I was new to the neighborhood and Knew not the theme. I wont leave a cold beer on the bar....Im not scared. Clean, friendly and good service from the staff.

I always have fun when I come here where everybody is always welcoming and friendly to myself and anybody with me for that matter. I don't go out much anymore but when I do, I always try to make a point and stop in here For at least one drink with friends. (usually a soda for me mostly these days) But have often found myself staying with a group later and later. I'm definitely dur for a visit because it's been a long time. Stacy is always super nice and always keeps everyone happy whether it's suggesting a new drink or just simply stopping by the table and saying hello to each and every person. Even went so far as to helping me out more than I would expect a bar owner or staff to do by reviewing cameras and eventually getting to the bottom of where and when I had left my bag one afternoon. When I had mistakenly left it laying around then left clueless to the fact, I was petrified. Since then I have reunited with my bag, (which had electronics and other valuables I would have missed) thanks to Stacy, his staff and the integrity of a couple guests in the bar. In my experience there's something good to be said about a bar and its guests when something as important to one person becomes even more urgent to others without second thought. Ive lost phones and other things at other bars where it's a serious inconvenience to even set the phone down to check lost & found. (If they even did lol) I believe that reflects on the over all picture of an operation and those who make it successful. thanks again.

Awesome place. Need to go on the 3rd Sunday to see Trey. He is extremely talented and should have his own show in Vegas. It's only $10 a seat and will get your money's worth of great entertainment. I can't go without mentioning Stacy. He is a very funny and great oerson. He sincerely cares about the community here in Phoenix and all over the states.

Very friendly people as well as service really fun gay bar to go to

Chill spot!

(Translated by Google) Very nice place but I went in search of fun, find someone to do rich things and don't find I'm bi! Someone looking for something similar can leave a relationship (Original) Muy lindo lugar pero fui en busca de diversión, encontrar a alguien para hacer cosas ricas y no halle soy bi! Alguien que busque algo igual puede salir una relación

First time here and I LOVE it. Drinks are cheap and they have been the BEST sex on the beach drinks I’ve had ❤️

This last Saturday my best friends and I were out celebrating my birthday when a scummy man decided to ruin it by assaulting me and my best friend. Our group had told staff multiple times what had happened, he was physical with us and my friend had to push him off of her but no one did anything. Matter of fact he just kept harassing other people and even decided to take his shirt off at one point. I’m highly disappointed and super uncomfortable and most likely will no longer be going to Stacey’s. It’s a shame. It was my groups safe space but we no longer feel safe there.

Great bar, great staff, the back patio is great in the heat w the misters going! Also kept nice and clean! ???

The drinks are cheap and strong. Just wish the music was better like mix it up a little bit every couple of songs. Not enough “urban” tracks for me.

Great Place to hang out with friends.

Honestly my favorite gay bar in AZ. Was having a rough night and was welcomed by the staff and regulars with open arms. Clubbing here is always fun, knowing there's a welcoming community only adds 🥰

I've only been to gothnight so far but what an amazing place to relax, chat with locals and enjoy good food and drink.

Love it here ..have been here a while back but just seen a show Saturday for a Bachelorette party Amazing! So fun great energy.ill be back again and

Stacy is a saint and this bar is AMAZING. I used to go to Songo nights and then the 8:30 drag show every Tuesday before the pandemic and it’s truly such a fun and safe place to be. Very accepting, great drinks, fun atmosphere.

First visit. Uneventful but felt the calm vibe.

Justin was so sweet and accommodating!! The entire staff really took care of me and went out of their way to make sure I was always good and that I checked out at the end of the night. thank you!!

Fun night out with my boyfriend. All the staff were very nice, the place was clean, the music was good, and the bar service was fast.

Love this place!!! I will return when it is safe to do so!!!

Love going to this place. Drinks are well priced and the atmosphere is perfect for me

lgbt+ friendly! great place but small dance floor. but overall always a fun time :)

Love this place!!! The show manager, Mia Inez Adams, is a great show hostess! Her special style of comedy adds to the nightly experience of fun and laughter. The new owners are getting their sea legs and holding true to the legacy the original owner Stacy left behind. VISIT!!!! YOU'RE GONNA LOVE IT!

Great dj! What a beautiful bar! The staff was nice and we got our drinks fast! Thank you for such a wonderful time!!

(Translated by Google) I'm a newcomer to the city ... what day do you recommend to go and enjoy a girls' night out ??? (Original) Soy recién llegada a la ciudad... qué día me recomienda para ir y disfrutar una noche de chicas???

Really interesting place for a restaurant. An old church with murals painted high on the walls, large and open yet designed to make it possible to be close or entertain a large group. Drinks were small for the price. The tacos were delicious, try the lamb, yummy. Great wait staff. I'll go again.

The environment here is very lax, the people are friends and it’s a great place to watch drag race on Thursday’s. Also the drink specials are solid

<3 u Stacy

Always fun!

Gay bar in the Melrose district of downtown Phoenix.

Great staff, wonderful environment, great entertainment, go check it out for yourself promise u will love this club and all the people who come there and who work there as well.

Stopped by last night for a couple of drinks and had a good time. There was trivia which is always fun. Bartender was super nice. I just moved next door so I'm glad there's a great bar so close!

Super awesome. Great dancing and drinks

So sad. This place is closing down because they voted to close themselves down, simple as that.

Great DJ!! Amazing quality service and music selection. Delicious drinks with the perfect price......still haven't tried the food but I'm certain I'm gonna love it!!

One of my favorites. Men here are just my type.

Wonderful experience! The decor is amazing, the music is fantastic, the drinks are perfect, plus the awesome crowd! Great atmosphere, I'm definitely coming back! =)

Love this place. Stacy and all his employee's are very friendly. The Bar tenders also make great drinks ; ) If you are looking for a place to be entertained or just want to sit outside and chill, this is the perfect place.

Nice crowd. Drinks watered down too much.

One my favorite places to go staff are extremely nice. Best spots to come to

We had a great time playing Songo/music Bingo! Taco Tuesdays is a great deal with $1 tacos and $4 margaritas including mixed drinks for $3-4 and beer $3-$6. Stacy, the owner, was very friendly and welcoming, and the staff was great too!

Extremely fun environment to be around friends. First time at goth night and it was incredible. Will definitely come again.

This is the spot 🥰👀👀🥰🥰 nice hard men .

Came here on goth night for my birthday! Had so much fun dancing. Drink prices are reasonable. Love the atmosphere and the place. Will be coming back for sure! Thanks for a wonderful birthday night! Update: This place is very clean and run like a well oiled machine. Workers are professional and very kind. They accept everyone with open arms. The bar has very knowledgeable bartenders. Actually glad I found this place. It is truly a diamond.

Well, just bar hop'd to a 2nd bar. This bar has crowds that are younger. It seems like everyone is having fun including watching the drag show. 3 stars was given because I got to the main bar where a female bar tender was serving. I tried to get a drink from her, but she ended up attending another female customer even though I was standing there first. Oh well my impression and I did not know that female only serve female in this bar. Well, I ended up getting served by a male counter part, a male bar tender, standing at the same original location. By the way, the male bartender was from the other side of the main bar 🤔. Interesting... Anyway, it seems to be a fun bar... Update...talked to the owner, wow he is super nice and today is his 🎂🎉...happy ## young. So updating the stars to 4-stars.

Lovely

This place puts the F in Fun.

The staff is pretty awesome. Especially this one that has a lot of tats and has a weird obsession with Sesame Street characters. I love this bar.
