Vine Tavern & Eatery

The Vine on Elliot has been a favorite for years. (First time in 2005) During that time I have been through three servers. The last was Ben. I met him when he was barely old enough to serve. He is by far one of the nicest. This place has always had a well priced happy hour with a fun staff. The food is good. I would recommend that the owners add to the selection of Irish whiskeys, (get Green Spot, it is awesome.) I recently stopped in on a Sunday night and was pleasantly surprised by a calm crowd quiet surroundings, and pleasant dialogue. This is a place similar to what Cheers was on TV.

We have the same wonderful waitress almost every time we go there. The wings are wonderful and the wine is good as well. I love any place that has staff this nice.

I used to love this place and sang its praises regularly. Unfortunately, the place is not what it once was. The happy hour specials are nothing terribly special anymore. The staff is mostly disinterested in helping customers, except for Amy, who seems to genuinely care.
Going during lunch is a lost cause anymore. I’m not one of the blonde’s «regular» customers, you know the ones, the Norm — like barflies that have the chance to sit there and flirt with the bartender all day 3 – 5 days a week. Since I am not one of her regulars, getting her attention is a total pain in the ass. On top of that, don’t dare have any questions, the attitude you will get for inconveniencing her with them is almost insulting. She already has trouble setting down her phone to actually look at me while I am ordering.
Once my food comes out, I am on my own. No second beer for me apparently. No napkins either, despite the fact I am eating wings.
About those wings. The Vine has AWESOME flavored wings, but sometime recently, they have switched to a smaller wing size. What used to be a good value with great flavor varieties is now less so. The value just isn’t there. I’m not looking for ultra cheap. But hey, a dozen wings should not leave me wondering where the meat was and still hungry only 10 minutes later.
The beer selection has taken a hit. The variety is now taken up by too many similar beers. The service staff, even outside of the afternoon bartender is disinterested in anything other than turning my table. Sadly, I may soon be looking for a new place to go hang out.

Been here many times and go for the wings. Best wings in the valley. Hot and Sweet Chili. Bomb

Dive bar with good food and OK drink specials. It’s not fine dinning but perfect bar food with a decent selection. Lots of TV’s great for football

The Vine is a good place for wings, beer and burgers. The last visit, I tried the hot and medium wings with a few other people and as always, everyone thought the wings were good. The beer selection and the happy hour pricing is also reasonable. The wings could be a little meatier, but they were crisp, well seasoned and lean. They stand out among for wings mainly because so many places have the lower quality fatty ones, which I just don’t like at all.
The seasonal beer toped it off. They had the local Four Peaks Pumpkin Porter, which was new to me, but actually really good. Highly recommended if you like smooth, rich Porters.

I have been coming here since I was little and I absolutely love this place. The beer is always cold, the chicken wings are huge with a ton of sauce, and the service is excellent. It is a locals kind of place, but my family and I have always loved it!

The Vine is maybe a 2 minute car ride from our home! My boyfriend and I enjoy drinking a Stein & sharing some wings. The chive fries are great. However, recently the quality of the traditional bone-​in wings have been awful!!! They are so tiny, & barely any meat on them. So, we decided to try the boneless. Not that great. I rather drive to Buffalo Wild Wings & enjoy some REAL wings!!! But the service is always good!

The Vine is a neighborhood staple and is a great place to grab a drink, hang out with friends and family, and grab a bite to eat. There are always friendly locals and the staff are like family. If you like a more laid back atmosphere, this is the place for you. They also have some nice TVs to catch a game. If you are an adult and can’t have a good time here, you’re probably the problem. Also to the U of A fan who posted earlier, this is in Tempe, the home of the Arizona State Sun Devils. Go find a U of A bar if you want to watch your U of A games. Sadly these U of A bars exist. :(

We have come to this location several times, the wings and food are pretty good, nothing spectacular but still consistently decent. This location also is close to the house so we thought we’d pop in for some wings and a beer, to enjoy the U Of A game, at what we thought was a sports bar. Turns out, it’s only a sports bar if there isn’t an ASU game on. If there is an ASU game on, it is an ASU bar and that’s that. So we spent plenty of money on our food and drinks, only to have the sound turned down on the game that we came here to watch, halfway through our food, when the ASU game started. When we asked them to turn the sound back on (there was only one other table in this section and they weren’t watching) we were told no. We were told that he would not be allowed to change the volume of one of the several tvs, in our section because «They are an ASU bar» That’s it. No compromise, no contingencies, no consideration, and for us no sound. We would have stayed a lot longer and spent more money had they not taken away part of the reason that we were there.
Needless to say, we won’t be back for our football games. There are plenty of other places that are happy to take our money and show all of the games.

We always come here for lunch & absolutely love our waitress, christen. She is always friendly & has a smile on her face. So the reason for my 1* is this, we were sitting in the bar area & this gentleman was finishing up & said to the bartender that he has to finish up something at his church so he better get going, he then stood up & said «thank you, see you next time» the bartender never looked up at him & never responded. I felt so bad for the guy!!! She completely ignored him, just thought management should now. Don’t know her name but she has blonde hair & works primarily in the bar during the weekdays. Someone please talk with her about respectful!!!

Great service and great food. Prices are in line with similar places. I especially enjoy the atmosphere. I am making this my new hangout place.

Fav dive bar in the East Valley. Plenty of tv, beer choices and good wings. Happy hour is the stuff at this local.

By far the best wings in AZ!
Try the Maple Hot wings they have such great flavor, I’m kinda a wimp when it comes to spicey but these aren’t too hot for me. The seasoned french fries are great and if you like soda they have great tasting coke. Go on a tuesday to injoy the great wing special.

I love the vine! we always have great food and service. We can’t wait to go back soon.

This is your classic neighborhood bar. Love the hamburgers fries wings, and even the salads are really good. Every Thursday they have Stein night, which my family loves and we frequent probably once a month. The price is right the food is good the drinks are cold. They have plenty of TVs for sports so this is A big sports bar.

So I stopped by this location the other day because the NCAA women’s volleyball semifinals were on and I was no where near a TV… after doing some research, I found that the Vine was the closest option to me… I was a little nervous going in and asking for a TV but the guy that helped me was soooo nice and accommodating. I told him about the game and I also said that I didn’t care where he put me, I didn’t even mind if it was on the small outside patio, because I noticed there were TV’s out there too… He was like «Oh no worries» and he put me on the east side of the room at my own TV… I wasn’t very hungry or thirsty, but I felt a little obligated to order something because he had gone out of his way. He got me water with lemon and he was very prompt in switching them out when I was done… I ordered the little JO Burger with fries, it was on the happy hour menu… After a while The Vine started to fill with people meeting for dinner, people coming to enjoy a game, and/​or people having a drink. I was in my little corner trying not to scream and yell for the semifinal game… Oddly enough, the people around me knew about the game and knew about volleyball…
All in all, it was a great experience and I am very grateful for the young man that was extremely accommodating… Thank You!

Oh the Vine. My go-​to spot after I play in my co-​ed soccer games in Tempe during the week. Nothing like a cold beer after 90-​minutes of hard play!
First of all, they have the best staff! I may be biased as I have a few friends that work there but nonetheless they treat all their customers with incredible service. If you’re going to be sitting up at the bar, ask for Carter or Matt! If you’re going to be sitting at a table, go to Margie, Marcus, Jordan, or Casey. They are all fabulous!
The Vine is known for their wings… really they were given a nod for best wings which I completely agree with and support. They have great sauce flavors and you can mix and match as you please. Boneless or bone-​in, they’re delish.
The have these tasty yet dangerous little things called the Apple Pie shot which is made at The Vine. I highly recommend trying on or ordering a round for the table because it’s something everyone will enjoy. Just be careful not to have too many as they do pack a punch!
You can’t really go wrong with anything you order on their menu. They have a wide selection of options but a few notables would be the cheese fries, tater tots, nachos, fish tacos… and the list continues.
A great spot to bring some friends to watch your favorite sports team play. Since they are in Tempe, they do support ASU, but even this Wildcat can overlook their poor taste in sports teams for their wonderful food and staff! :)

The vine on Elliot Road is my favorite place to go for Stein night every Thursday night. Really good wings and burgers. And ice cold beer

Okay, Vine.
This is place is a pub and serves pub food – there’s a problem here: As I am a vegetarian and I ordered the Gardenburger, it’s not really all that fair of me to review a place like this based on what I ate. If the Gardenburger sucked, it really wouldn’t be the fault of the restaurant. To review a joint like this, you really have to try their meat dishes (most of the menu) and/​or their beer. Since I neither eat meat nor drink alcohol, I can’t do that. The Gardenburger turned out to be better than the one I’ve had at a lot of places, so at least there’s that for what it’s worth.
So what’s left? Well, the fried zucchini was quite good. Service was excellent and friendly. This has apparently been a favorite family restaurant for many years and still holds this distinction.
Minuses? Well, it’s noisy, but with all the kids and ASU students present on a Saturday night, that’s no surprise. The plates they give you to hold the food are surprisingly small, but that’s about the worst thing I can say about this place. Overall, I had a very enjoyable time here. Next time, I’ll have another veggie Jo burger with fries, a Diet Coke, maybe an appetizer, and just chill.
Fair review or not, I recommend Vine Tavern & Eatery. I think you would too.
