Maverick Saloon

«If I could give zero stars I would»
management and bar tender are unprofessional. place is a dump and could use some major repairs, food just eh, and prices aren’t that great. I will never be returning

Great neighborhood bar. The food used to be spectacular when Bennie was here and now it’s just sub-​par. The kitchen is a seperate entity for the main bar and is cash only. The staff is friendly and the drink prices are cheap.
A unique feature is that you can smoke inside. The air handling system is fantastic so there is not a cloud and almost no smell. Great for people who don’t smoke!
The customers are wonderful and very friendly. As this is a motorcycle friendly establishment there is always ample parking. The pool tables are only .50 and kept in good condition.
While it may look a bit rough on the outside, there is a warm and inviting atmosphere inside. Stop in for a great time but, skip the food.

Basic little neighborhood bar with 2 pool tables, a jukebox, and live music and karaōke select days of the week. Sometimes the bartenders get a little slammed but have always been friendly, and the drinks are nice and cheap, this is my go to spot if I want to grab a quick drink or play a quick game of pool

Burger and service was great thanks Benny!!! We will see ya soon!!!

If you’re looking for a dive bar just outside of central Phoenix, that may be located on the verge of a sketchy neighborhood, then go to the Maverick! I’m not saying any of these things are bad of course or I wouldn’t have gone there myself. We went for karaōke here on a Thursday night. The mixed crowd was awesome, I love variety. The drinks were cheap ($ 2.50 for a pint of Shiner Bock), plus the bartender remembered my drink after one order, and she was singing with a mic in one hand and pouring drinks in the other! Yes, this is more of a biker bar, who cares, mind your own and they won’t mind you. The bathroom was clean, like nice restaurant clean, and had hot water, Big win for a dive bar! I think we had a full sampler of the food they had to offer, fries, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, and fried zucchini, typical bar food, but most excellent drunk food.
I will say this bar is not for everyone. I was with drinkers and smokers and honky tonk singers, we loved it here. (BTW you can smoke inside this place, a win for some.)

Hey all you kids that never knew what it was like to have a smokey bar go check this place out. Great ventilation and it is really nice to relax with a drink and a smoke in the middle of the action.
Now if we can get a theater company to do the same people may just experience the pleasure of watching your smoke waft into the moving picture.
Oh the memories! Great burger by the way, almost unbelievable.

I can’t say that I’ve been to a lot of bars In Phoenix, but of the few I have been this is definitely my favorite. This a true bar. Not one of those «cool» places where they play crappy pop hop tunes and serve you over priced drinks with sissy names and fruity flavors. No this is a place for adults to go and chill after a hard day’s work.
Pull up a stool, light up smoke, and order a stiff one. The staff is super friendly and so are patrons. When karaōke isn’t going on, they’re playing some classic rock or mellow country in the back ground. You know tunes comprised of singing and guitars, real music.
So if you’re like me and don’t follow the mainstream, hate any kind of drama, and want to enjoy your cigarette with your whiskey without having your ears bombarded by bass beats, well you should join me and rest of the crowd at Maverick’s sometime.

Local bar, waitstaff not very friendly but the patrons are. $ 2.50 for a large Landshark earns it an extra star, but allowing smoking takes that away. So, 3 stars. I’ll go again, but I can’t see a reason to recommend it to anyone.

A bar you can smoke in. Might have enjoyed a few years ago, but now I just come home stinky.
Why then do I still go here? Thursday night karaōke, cheap drinks, and fun times.
