Pub’n Grub

Terrible food. stale bread and fruit was pretty close to rotten. My nine year old wouldn’t even eat it. The table next to use was a 25 top. one side were parents, the other young boys who were screaming, running around, and made multiple spills. The parents seemed uninterested even though many patrons were turning to notice the racket. When I mentioned to the waitress it was loud her reply was «sorry but they made reservations.» Not sure what that had to do with anything but needless to say we will never be back.

This is the definition of a dive bar! However, it is great! The food is always amazing and it’s soooooo cheap! I had the green hornet and it was amazing! Also, the wings are less than 6 bucks for a dozen, how can you beat that?!

My absolute favorite bar! I’ve been coming here since I was old enough to. Cheap beers, great food, great staff!

My favorite bar in Mesa. Food is AMAZING, it’s cheap, staff is awesome, and the mugs are ice cold. Love this bar!

I walked into this place, sat down and then left after sitting there for about two minutes. The place is small, stuffy and void of any music, just dead quiet. I noticed there were about 10 orders in the window and no one appeared to have food. The menu was ratty and beat up with only a few items on it, none of which sounded great. I never even got a greeting. I’m actually grateful about it because I didn’t feel so bad when I made a dash for the front door.
Not for me. Oh, not really sure how the reviews are so good, because I went to this place based on the 4 star rating. An Awkward deception.

Love this place. If you are even the slightest bit pretentious, you will be offended by something, stay away from our favorite bar. The drinks are strong, the food is good, prices are down and the crowd is chill. Microwave pork rinds and a breakfast shot anyone?

A decent break from the contrived «ambiance» and pre-​proportioned frozen food of the chain taverns or pubs (e.g. Applebees, TGIF, Red Robin). Had a burger and fries with a cold draft. Not a gourmet burger, but competent and pretty good quality. Fries were no more greasy and much more tasty than the local chains, and were served hot and crispy. Have not tried anything else on the menu yet. Decent selection of tap beer (e.g. Bud Light (yuk), PBR, Kilt Lifter) and it is good and cold. Prices are hard to beat. Burger is $ 3.75 and a hell of lot better than fast food and most chains.
I like the dark 70’s era atmosphere for a change. Service was really good. The barkeep/​waitress had a really sweet disposition and was attentive. A few bar flies, but not overwhelming. Just enough to add to the atmosphere with some «non-​pc» chatter. Downsides; I like dives, but this place could use a good wipe down once a week or so. Not the place for someone that likes the consistency and plastic atmosphere of a chain or that may be sensitive to non-​pc bar chatter. Hard as hell to find. No sign on the building and the entrance is not immediately apparent, it is located in a windowless building that looks like it might have housed a pawn shop or tax preparation service at one time. For me, it’s a good once in month diversion into the kind of dark bar dive that is disappearing in the metro area.

I suppose it’s time to update here. Really a solid place for cold drinks and «great» greasy food. How many places do you go and see the same people working? That must say something about the Pub’n Grub. These guys are consistent… I have been a regular for quite some time and I really enjoy the employees. So… if you guys see this … hats off to you!

Stars matter, I get that, and maybe I don’t know the true meaning of «dive bar» but this is exactly what comes to mind. The menus were sticky and very very old and beat up. The four of us all ordered something different my fish was slightly under cooked so I didn’t hardly touch it.
Our waitress was short on small talk and smiles not sure why because there was only 2 tables of people, everyone else was ponied up to the bar.
Prices were super super cheap, so that’s a plus.

The neighborhood bar is disappearing. I am trying so hard to love this place. Food is good and very reasonable. I am not a clean freak, but they really need to give this place a good cleaning. Dust bunnies are not a big deal when you are having a beer, but they kind of get to you when they are all over the grill area which is right behind the bar. Come on Pub and Grub, have a little more pride. You can still keep a place clean on a tight budget. Don’t let the employees run the place. It looks like this is what is happening. The cooks cook, the servers serve and everybody has memorized the phrase «NOT MY JOB»

If you can get over dust balls, spider webs, and curtains from the 80s then you’ve found yourself a great bar. Cheap drinks, decent food and great service! The inside is a little dingy with ancient furniture and décor. The pool tables give you something to do, but half the time the balls get stuck and the server has to come over and open the door to get the balls. The dart board is horribly placed at the entrance so be very careful no one is walking through before you throw! The place does have a touch tunes system so download the app and pick songs from your phone.

Came here after golf on a Unilocal!recommendation. Really good bar food. Love this dive.

I have passed this location at least 100 times in the past 4 years, always have seen the neon beer signs in the window and thought to myself…“odd place for a bar.”
I finally stopped this weekend. If you like DIVE BARS this is your place… Sunday fun day is in full effect now! Beer selection could be better but the greasy burgers coming off the grill where perfect!!!
Juke Box, pool tables, darts and a whole bar full of old men that look like they’ve been coming there for 50 years.
The one waitress they had day was nothing short of Super Woman… all by herself and carried a great attitude the whole time… SHE“S A KEEPER!!!
AND SUPER CHEAP! PUB N GRUB — — -I AM A FAN!!!

Love this little hole in the wall place.

Terry is an awesome bar owner and makes this place as good as it is.
Great little bat to get a few drinks and have some conversation. Good for food too if you get here before midnight when they stop food service

Great dive bar, I’m always treated well. The patrons are nice, the food decent, and the beer is cheap.

Ok, seriously, talk about a dive.
My dad has been coming to this place religiously for a few years so about a year ago he dragged me along for our weekly dinner. It’s the kind of place that you could totally walk right by without noticing it’s even there. Walking in is like stepping back to the 80s with the dark atmosphere, old school (legitimately) bar décor, classic rock (if the games aren’t on), and the beer flags. They’ve got an area with tables and booths, the bar seating, and a couple pool tables in the back. You’ll see all types in here, too: young 20-something’s, biker types, quiet guys at the bar, families in the booths…
This is all great but sadly, I think the last time the bathrooms were cleaned was in 1980, too. It’s strange that this is the case because the rest of the bar and kitchen is immaculate.
They only have one small little griddle for cooking all the burgers they bust out but they clearly have a great system down. Every time I’ve been here the same cook was working and the bar staff consists of maybe three or four women. Fairly often the owner Terry is in and that’s always a treat. He’s so personable and so on top of things. It’s hard to serve a beer as speedily as my dad can drink it, but Terry is always Johnny-​on-​the-​spot and most of the other staff are pretty great, too.
For such a dive you would think the food would be a little lacking but no such thing. They serve up some of the best quesadillas, fish and chips, and burgers (according to my dad– I don’t eat beef) that you can find in any bar in Chandler, Mesa, or Tempe.
Definitely one of my favorite spots for a calm and cool night to have some beers and chow down on great food. I totally recommend giving this place a shot, just make sure you hit the bathroom before heading over.

A sweet little dive bar. I was unsure at first… where’s the entrance? Why is it so dirty in here? Glorious. Walking distance from a friend’s house. Seriously cheappp… I ate & drank very well for less than fifteen dollars. Happy Saturday night. The wings are great… must try. Wasn’t a fan of the vodka soda but that’s what I get for doing well. The headache was brutal.
I’ll be back!

Great dive bar. The basket of Cajun fries for $ 1.50 is a steal! All the other food is good too. And cheap.
Bathrooms are gross.
Could use more TVs throughout the space.
3 pool tables one dart board. Juke box overly loud.
Friendly service. Fun to see a line cook frying and grilling right in front of you.

It’s a dive bar but it’s a GOOD dive bar! $.50 pool and $ 6 pitchers of Bud Light. This turned out to be a great little venue for guys night out! Rock and roll playing on the jukebox and friendly staff.
