    Great place to wrap up the evening with a cold drink and a few games of darts. There's also the nice covered patio in the back so you can enjoy your drink and a smoke

    As much as I love the craft breweries in the area, I’ve been looking for a low-key bar to make my hangout. I’ve definitely found it at Paradise Lounge- the beer is inexpensive and there’s a great variety, there’s a decent selection of bar good snacks if you get hungry, but you can also bring food in. Outdoor smoking patios are always fantastic if you like a cigar or cigarette with your drink, and there’s live music and games if you don’t just want to sit and drink. The only bartender I know so far is Jade but she was extremely friendly and took the time to chat with me despite being decently busy. This is the epitome of a neighborhood bar and I can’t recommend it enough.

    This place is an absolute 10! Cute little neighborhood bar tucked into the corner of a regular strip mall. Courtney the bartender was friendly and attentive and our fried bar snacks (a mountain of iguana balls and a pair of chicken egg rolls) were perfectly prepared and sooooooo satisfying!

    A friend of mine told me about Paradise Lounge so I had to visit. Great place to enjoy with friends or with your significant other. My wife and I had an enjoyable time. The owner Jennifer and Bartender Heather were very welcoming. My wife and I will be visiting again as the place is very quaint and friendly.

    The service is very poor. The bar tender (male) is very disrespectful and rude. Avoid this place at all costs. If you order a drink on their menu, beware. These beverages are subpar.

    Very reasonable liquor prices and a great staff. We usually go once each week to visit and have a drink. Lots of tvs if you enjoy sports and it's pretty quiet. Nice outside patio.

    We had a great time! We had drinks and appetizers that were great! Try the Iguana balls and the Buffalo Cauliflower. We also had the the Jalapeño Poppers. I will definitely return when I'm back in town!

    Seemed fun but they just blasted Spanish rap on the juke box the whole time. Just not my scene. If you like Spanish rap ot might be your jam.

    Reasonable pricing, local neighborhood bar. Jukebox, darts, smoking patio, lots of TV's, friendly staff, live music three times a week, lots of parking

  • 5/5 mark a. 4 years ago on Google
    Your typical neighborhood bar. Friendly staff and good drinks.

  • 4/5 Chance H. 4 years ago on Google
    Went for happy hour with friends. Apparently it was open mic night, which I don’t usually like, but it wasn’t too loud so... 4 stars

  • 5/5 Eric R. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice local bar.

  • 5/5 Landon H. 4 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 White Lily F. 5 years ago on Google
    Yep, it’s paradise alright. In a loungy kinda way.

  • 5/5 Thomas B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice little hidden bar. Bartender Rachel is super chill. Great personality and very attentive. Golden tee, darts, music, food. I had the naked wings. Very good. Freshly made. I watched the Fiesta Bowl here. Definitely a must stop at if you are looking for neighborhood bar.

  • 5/5 David L L. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a Great place here in Scottsdale. Just got back from a Crazy Hurricane in Puerto Penasco. The service was quick and friendly. Nice environment, friendly staff and good food. You should check it out.

  • 2/5 Michael R. 1 year ago on Google
    First of all, it’s a very very small place behind a 31 flavors BR. It has no entertainment experience other than people giving you a weird uncomfortable look/stare the whole time you’re there. I walk outside told I couldn’t smoke there. So walked into the parking lot and I swear people followed me outside and just looked at me like I was a sideshow attraction. Very uncomfortable for myself and my Girlfriend. She said she got the creeps. Anyway neither one of us are going back. I recommend everyone judge for themselves tho. It’s just not for us. We like a fun positive atmosphere, with a chance to meet new people and share some laughs. More welcoming atmosphere. Not a feeling like you’re being judged. I guess we were dressed too nice. So just wear a tank top, cutoff shorts going commando and flip flops you will fit in perfect. It’s in paradise valley btw.. not Scottsdale haha bartender was green as heck! Although very nice. Asked what’s in a green tea after we ordered one. Are you serious lol she looked 19 tho~

    Great vibe, reasonable prices, strong drinks, and friendly staff. What's not to love? It's my absolute favorite hole-in-the wall bar.

  • 5/5 Ryan D. 1 year ago on Google
    Super friendly, very inviting atmosphere. Both bar tenders were exceptional. Food was good and music was awesome. Glad we found this hidden spot! Edit?.. sure 3 months since first visit..got turned down for food cuz bar was busy…it was, I agree… slowed down and I was asked if I want some food still ..food was great and service was awesome .Matt was great along with his partner.

    Popped in on a random Saturday at 2:00. Quiet and great service

  • 5/5 Irvin W. 3 years ago on Google
    This is a very nice neighborhood place tucked in where you'd never expect it. Nice and cool inside and just overall a very pleasant vibe to it. A couple of TVs with sports but not an over the top sports type place. Lone bartender (Chandler is name I believe) handled the crowd with ease.

  • 5/5 Karine A. 5 years ago on Google
    So glad I found this little gem! The moment you walk in you are greated with smiles and most friendliest staff!!! You feel welcomed as if you are family. Service is outstanding. I even got special deviled eggs from Dede, what a yummy treat! Inside they have plenty of games! People are friendly and happy. Very easy going place. They have very cozy patio area in the back with plenty sitting area. I just love this place and will keep coming back!

    Never knew it was here. Great time

  • 4/5 Dan P. 5 years ago on Google
    Small sports bar tucked away in a shopping center with reasonable drink prices. Dede was a fun bartender.

  • 5/5 Melissa H. 4 years ago on Google
    Jennifer and her team consistently showcase what it means to be a part of the neighborhood. They are welcoming and kind. They get involved in local causes. They're always happy to see you. I always wish I could stay longer or come by more often!

    Not terrible. But a lovely find!

  • 4/5 Holly T. 5 years ago on Google
    If you want a down to earth local watering hole, this is the place. Tucked back behind Party City, this little known bar dies wonderful things for their community. I was there for their annual Christmas in July celebration, where they raise money and awareness for local no kill animal shelters. Friendly good people. And they make a delicious Dirty Martini

  • 4/5 Sarah G. 5 years ago on Google
    Love The Monthly Special!

  • 5/5 Mary L. 5 years ago on Google
    Paradise is by far my favorite bar. I usually only come here on week days, so the weekends may leave you with a different impression than what I can offer. Here are the highlights: 1. Quiet dive bar with lots of friendly, regular patrons, mostly 30+ year-olds just wanting to unwind with each other. 2. Huge smoking-friendly patio with industrial swamp cooling fan 3. Affordable prices! 4. Wonderful staff that give generous pours and are quick to learn your name and staple drink. 5. Piles and piles of board and card games, as well as TVs inside and outside. 6. Rarely roudy. Definitely not a place for your bachelorette party or messy black out drunks 7. $15 card minimum. 8. Live music on certain nights (I don't remember which nights!). Pretty solid cover bands usually playing classic rock.

    I really want to like this bar because I love sports bars and I’m from Chicago. But the service is lacking. The bartender on saturday mornings is Very slow.

  • 4/5 Ken K. 3 years ago on Google
    Just had a relaxing drink

  • 5/5 Bill R. 3 years ago on Google
    My favorite neighborhood bar! And they're a Chicago Blackhawks bar! #thebillradkeexperience

  • 4/5 Dee J. 3 years ago on Google
    I lived in this area for a while and never knew it existed. Nice little gem. The TV screens could be a little larger but they weren't too loud and service was adequate. If you like your chicken wings extra crispy tell them to leave them in 8 minutes. Found that out the hard way. The mac and cheese tots were forgettable with a decent beer price for Estella was around $5 a pint not happy hour price. Wouldn't mind going back again even though the food menu is extremely limited.

    Service is not good. Food is delicious.

  • 5/5 Dan S. 3 years ago on Google
    A friendly, inclusive and fun atmosphere with good prices. I also like that it is women owned and operated.

  • 5/5 johanna l. 4 years ago on Google
    Loved it!

  • 4/5 Jamie N. 4 years ago on Google
    Kind of hard to find as it is in the corner of the two buildings. Not much in way of food but the snacks they do have are tasty. Small place but very good in terms of hole in the walls. Prices are very good as well.

  • 5/5 Jennifer B. 4 years ago on Google
    Always awesome service!

  • 4/5 Robert F. 4 years ago on Google
    Enjoyable place to relax and watch sports and get a drink.
