Ok I'm a straight female but I love coming to Bar 1 for drinks and to socialize with people. They serve great drinks the bartenders are cute and I love their security guard he's just the nicest guy in Phoenix. This is a great bar to have a great time gay or straight.

Friendly hangout, mostly LGBTQ but welcoming to all types and ages. Good dogs welcome on the great patio. Top-notch cocktails created by attentive, attractive, top-tier bartenders. Two pool tables, darts, jukebox you can control with app. And they'll do ya a delicious charcuterie. All-in-all, a pleasant time spent.

I first walked into to Bar 1 at 23 years old. I was greeted with nothing but kindness and joy. I’ve met some of my best friends at Bar 1. We’ve all shared loss and growth. Bar 1 helped me fully come out of my shell. I will never forget it. I met my love at Bar 1. I embraced my queerness at Bar 1. I took my mother to her first queer bar, at Bar 1. Bar 1 is simply the best.

Thursdays at Bar 1 are the place to be. Tami or Jimmie will definitely cure what ails you. A little busy at times, but you cannot beat buy one, get one free. Jimmie and Tami will absolutely take care of you. You’ll have a great time, make a friend, and leave happy.
