    First time and will definitely go back. Went to see a band I had seen the weekend before at a bar close to my house in Mesa, they were really good so I wanted to see them again, Verry Cherry. So glad we did! This bar was welcoming, comfortable, biker and MC friendly (my husband is in a Club). Shout out to Mandy & Sara, for being top notch bartenders that Friday night. They were tipped the tab by us 😁 The food was delicious for "just bar food"....the french fries were the best I've ever tasted. Old Bay seasoning? I don't know, but so good. The prices were super fair, to the point that when I got my tab I thought something had been omitted possibly, but no, just great prices. The 3 pool tables were busy all night, everyone seemed to kind of know everyone and it never got wall to wall packed for a Friday which was cool with me, because that gave me a chance to chat up the bartenders a bit and get a feel for the place. Also a big plus, super clean ladies room!

    f you're in Phoenix and looking for a fun and lively dive bar, Gypsies Roadhouse is definitely worth a visit! This place has a great atmosphere and is perfect for grabbing a few drinks with friends or playing a game of pool on one of their three tables. But let's talk about the real star of the show here: the food. The smash burger at Gypsies Roadhouse is seriously tasty and definitely not to be missed. It's loaded with flavor and will leave you feeling satisfied and happy. The only downside? The fries were a little over-seasoned for our taste, but that's just a minor quibble. If you're feeling a little more adventurous, we highly recommend the green chili cheese crisp and salsa. These are the perfect complement to your burger or any other dish you decide to try. The cheese crisp is crispy and loaded with gooey cheese and green chili, while the salsa has just the right amount of kick to keep things interesting. And we can't forget to mention the staff, especially Lindsey! She's a fantastic bartender with a fun personality that will keep you entertained all night long. Whether you're in the mood for some good conversation or just want to kick back and relax, she's always up for a good time. So, if you're looking for a fun and tasty spot in Phoenix, make sure to stop by Gypsies Roadhouse. You won't be disappointed!

    Unfortunately I have to give this place a star, to post my experience.. I went here last week to catch up with some friends. Was a decent night, playing pool, until I received a notification of fraud from my bank account while I was still inside this bar, of my card being ran 3 times for over $60/e. That bartender had already taken off, by the time I went to question this. The bartender "sara", who was drinking when we arrived there, and decided to take over for the rest of the night, clearly drunk and serving, and became belligerent after I told another patron to mind their business after she was making racist remarks, as I was giving said drunk bartender "sara" my phone number, so she could notify her manager of what happened. I still have not received a call, refund or an apology. Thankfully I currently working on resolving this w/ my bank, since Gypsys doesn't seem phased by their employees stealing from their customers. They need to change the name to GYP BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY DO! & "Sara" should be fired or hit up AA because she was completely drunk, & could barely keep her eyes open to the point a customer asked her if she needed medical help. What a shame. Make sure you don't keep a tab open, and keep your cards locked until you are ready to close out, or pay. ZERO STARS!

    Needing lunch, we stopped. Good Service, Reasonable sized Burger, with Good Flavor, Fair prices. While driving by it like a neighbor tavern, it is. We would return.

    Saw a customer who was minding his own business, sitting and drinking a beer, get punched in the head from behind by a regular customer (according to the bartenders) and nothing was done about. This happened over the winter, I have not been back nor plan to.

    You need 10 more Ava's!! She is awesome! This is the second time were grateful enough to have her as our bartender/server! Went out of her way to show us tee shirts (which we bought). The smashburger was out of this world and the dry rub wings....addictive! We will be back and Ava thank you for making our day:-)

    I don't usually go to the bars but this was a cool kickback spot. And Lindsay is super effing hot! I recommend this place

  • 5/5 David L. 1 year ago on Google
    …and another great Friday lunch !!! Lyndsey’s awesome, it’s not too busy, a friendly small ‘crowd’, and a very good lunch at the right price. It’s a great place for a group of friends to catch up over a beer and lunch.

  • 5/5 Truth 1 year ago on Google
    Left my drone bag here on accident and the kind folks that attend and manage the bar were superb in storing my belongings until I got them the next day. Great place and honest people. Thank you.

  • 5/5 WillfromBrazil de C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very chill, friendly atmosphere with mostly people from the neighborhood. Karaoke is fun on Thursday and Sunday. Wings are solid and bartenders are all sweethearts!

  • 5/5 Lawana R. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved this place...it was my fiance first time in a dive so it was interesting to watch him 😀 my drinks were SO GOOD the food was good as well. It was Karaoke 🎤 night and I enjoyed watching the locals perform FYI there were some really great singers 🙌🏾 I recommend the Top Shelf Long Island 🍸

  • 5/5 C H. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great experience. Live music, band played rock, and a few of their own songs. The bartender was really good, kept checking on us. Played pool. Definitely will return, great place to unwind

  • 5/5 C W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great dive bar for food and entertainment. Live music on Fridays and Saturdays. Karaoke on Thursdays. Full bar and pool tables. The tacos and wings are fresh and delicious. Great staff and fast service. Patrons are friendly too.

  • 5/5 Anthony M. 7 months ago on Google
    Pretty cool spot. Just happened to stumble across. I had a burger that was on special 9 bucks. Mushroom Swiss something..... but wow it was delicious 🙌 would recommend this spot if your in the area. Bartender was cool as well.

  • 5/5 Carol C. 1 year ago on Google
    Gypsy Roadhouse has a friendly staff and its karaoke Sunday was a lot of fun. DJ searched for hard to find songs and made sure the experience was good for singer and listener alike.

  • 5/5 Danielle J. 1 year ago on Google
    A clean dive..Stopped here before heading to the airport.. mad I didn't know of it sooner..9 dollar wings! $2 beers! Unheard of in 2022.. bartender Michelle was 🔥 nice vibe, everyone is welcome (blk chick) other than the couple snogging loudly beside me I enjoyed it!

  • 4/5 vida w. 2 years ago on Google
    Great dive bar, welcome to everyone and trust me everyone comes here! Great mix of peeps, live music on the weekends, pool tables, bar staff could be a tad more attentive when busy, but they get it done. Regular bar prices and they have food, never tried any but it looks good. If you are looking for live music, no cover, and dive bar vibes, this is the place! Loads of parking too.

  • 1/5 am 7. 4 years ago on Google
    I've been in multiple times and always order the same drink, yet the price varies EVERY time. It hurts me to not tip as I'm in the service industry as well, but today it happened..Needless to say I won't be returning. I've also never been carded. I am of age but still look young. Not a good way to run a business.

  • 5/5 Dan R. 4 years ago on Google
    Great bar, the bartenders are the best!

  • 5/5 Sean V. 1 year ago on Google
    I know some of the staff personally. When they are on the job the job comes first. They are the true faces of Gypsy's Roadhouse. Popcorn machine, pool, claw machine, karaoke?! Lots of atmosphere to this hole in the wall dive. A true gem to the corner of Phoenix.

  • 4/5 Kedric R. 3 months ago on Google New
    It was okay. Before my MC club brother passed we went here a lot. Service was always decent, depending on the time of day.

  • 5/5 Michelle Q. 5 months ago on Google
    Tray the cook is amazing. The food is great! Jack the Bartender is very nice. Shawn the DJ for karaoke is talented!

  • 2/5 Michael B. 4 months ago on Google
    The food was good but we had to wait for almost an hour and a half for it. Even then it came in pieces. My wife waited almost 2 hours for a bowl of mediocre chili. They really need to hire another bartender and retrain the one they have. We went on karaoke night and even the karaoke host was late. It seems the whole place runs on a clock that runs backwards

  • 5/5 Evanita D. 4 months ago on Google
    this is my absolute FAVORTIE bar to visit in Phoenix. I’ve been coming here for the past year and the people/community at this small little dive bar is soooo welcoming to anyone who comes in. Pool is cheap. Karaoke is a blast. Bar food is on point. And the drinks are nothing short of delicious. This is my go-to bar. All the bartenders are so attentive even on the busiest days/nights! Lindsey, Lexi, Jack, Summer, and Mandy are the ones I run into the most. All are so sweet and awesome to have conversations with. I never have a problem ordering drinks or food and I always feel so welcomed by each bartender mentioned above. I mainly see Lexi and she knows how to make the night so fun and I always feel so taken care of!

  • 5/5 Bunny J. 4 months ago on Google
    Lexi is the best bartender ever, she works very well under pressure and is super nice and very welcoming. I am definitely going to be coming back. I love the vibes and how hard the bartenders works especially if it’s only one person working!🖤🤘🏼

  • 5/5 Mike M. 6 months ago on Google
    An excellent little dive bar. Cheap beer and food and full coverage of all the major sporting events. Reminded me of some cracking pubs back home in Manchester (UK)

  • 4/5 David H. 6 months ago on Google
    Only stopped in and had a beer but the staff was friendly, prices are in line with everywhere else, the place was clean and there was a pretty good band playing. I'd definitely go again.

  • 5/5 Angela K. 6 months ago on Google
    Summer is awesome! She can multi-task and handles the demands of drunkard customers with efficiency!. She is always hustling and moving and keeping on top of her game!

  • 5/5 Lamont Q. 1 year ago on Google
    I love the food here, super nice people, quarter pool tables too

  • 1/5 Mel C. 7 months ago on Google
    The bar owners are so cheap that the cooks have to buy the sauce and seasoning for the wings. So disgusting!

  • 5/5 Tim B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great bartender, great suggested wings that aren't on the menu. KC dry rub grilled wings ripped off with honey. 🔥 Fried pickles, nice and spicy! Great way to end our trip!

  • 5/5 Seth H. 11 months ago on Google
    Lindsey rocks! I wanted a Bloody Rye ( a bloody Mary with rye whiskey) and she knocked it out of the park!

  • 4/5 Kimberly L. 9 months ago on Google
    Another local type hang out. Gypsy's is a quieter place than some but has a good clientele who know how to have a good time! Cold beer and service with a smile! We will be back for karaoke on Thursdays and Saturdays!

  • 5/5 Shauna L. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered mozzarella sticks, onion rings, wings & quite a few rounds of drinks after we felt the vibes out. Fast service from the moment we entered. Food was good and hot. Drinks were decently priced. What seems like the mix of karaoke night regulars were super friendly and we had a blast. Would def love a better sound system if karaoke is a staple, but this was a great time and we will be back !!

  • 5/5 Terri T. 7 months ago on Google

    Stiff drinks, dive bar prices. 3 pool tables and live music on the weekends. Ample parking, lots of seating inside. Food is standard fried bar fare, but tasty and reasonably priced.
