Nice environnement for the most part. But chic at door took pic of my license which I wasnt ok with or informed of ahead time. When I asked why her ignorance said we cant see warrants. 1. That isnt what I asked. 2. My melanin does not make me a criminal.

The bands are amazing. I really.love the bar experience way better than a concert. The decorations are neat. It has a country theme. They have a bill. The drinks are good and the bartenders a quick and know their stuff as well as pretty. The bathrooms are fairly decent. They have good specials. They need to clean up a little more especially the smoking section.

I use to love this place when I was 18, went back Im now 25+ a group of us went, and it was awful. I was offered cocaine in the bathroom, I guess since the bartender has been there for a long time (same one since I was 18) If she thinks your drunk she will Over charge at the bar an there is nothing you can do there is no proof of what you actually had! The bouncers were fighting young kids when they should have been breaking up fights, they saw it as an opportunity to fight when someone really gets hurt & find out whats going on I hope they get sued. Have your cameras ready for proof!This place needs to be shut down for real, I hate to say its was so awesome a few years ago but now I wouldnt step back in if I was paid!

Much better than I expected it to be went for a concert and then main preformed didn’t show up but can’t blame that on the venue. People were friendly. Nice bar and sitting area. Great speakers larger standing area than I expected. Outside was kinda messy but no big deal. I was charged an additional $5 for being under 21 but it’s not that big of a deal. Fun time. 8.5/10

The bar lost both my ID and my debit card and the called me liar multiple times when I said they did. The manager took me aside and tried to uncover the situation where I got another story. Apparently someone I didnt know closed my tab and then my ID and card disappeared. She said I didnt remember what happened because I was drunk when I had one drink over a three hour period. Extremely unprofessional. Will not be returning and will never suggest the place.

The bartenders are thieves. I went to the bar to get a beer and 2 jello shots, while talking to my friend waiting on a bartender one of them came by and snatched all my money out of my hand without even asking what i wanted, 520$ in total and stuck it all in the cash register. Then once she gave me my drinks she gave me back 3$ in change, and when i asked for the rest of my money she said she was just kidding and gave me 440$ and told me that was the correct change and walked off. 80$ for a beer and 2 jello shots? I talked to the people at the front door and other staff and no one seemed to care at all. Watch your money closely when going here some of the staff are thieves and the other dont care.

Unorganized, unsafe, and unprofessional. Before we even got inside there was guy trying to fight random people waiting in line and the security staff did nothing about it. Once inside we were constantly getting bumped/ran into or pushed by people that had too much to drink and were barely able to walk/stand but somehow they kept serving them more drinks at the bar, I hope they fix that issue before A.L.E comes in there and starts giving out fines to the bartenders and the business. Security staff was present inside but even when there were 2 of them within a couple of feet from us they failed to keep the place safe for everyone.DJ MAD was the only reason we wanted to be there but it was almost 1am and no one had any idea when he would start his set, so we left. The sound was not well balanced...the highs were too high so it made it hard to stay there and keep listening to anything. Overall it seemed like they were not prepared for the night and the atmosphere was not right for us. We came to this place with a good attitude and hoping to have a good time but we will not be back to Arizona Petes. We did not feel at all safe or comfortable being there.

Okay so this may be a longer then usual review but there are some things that need to be said! First thing is this place has the potential to be an amazing bar there really aren’t any other places like it around but they have got to get some control over the underage drinking! There were more drunk 18 year olds in there then older people! I had an 18 year old girl ask me to buy her and her friends drinks so they could take them into the bathroom! Second the consistency of the bar tenders the last time I was there the bartender charged me 2.00 for a house vodka drink and this time is was 5.00? Do they make up the prices as they go along? Next thing is kind of an extension of the first issue is security is really lacking there were people having sex on the back patio and smoking pot! When it was brought to the attention of security he told me he didn’t really care because this wasn’t his main job he worked for the airport and Walmart and if the owner didn’t want to spend the money to pay him he didn’t care what people did! My husband and I travel over an hour to come to this bar! We have to get a room and spend money on Uber so it isn’t a cheap night out for us when we come here and it is definitely worth it but something really needs to get done or someone is going to get hurt! And also just a small suggestion that if you are a country bar maybe play at least a few more country songs but I do like the mix between non country and country but last night there was hardly any country songs being played! I really hope the owner sees this post and something can be done to fix the issues here!

It was amazing! Love this place, great atmosphere. The concert was so much fun here. You are up personal and security guys are nice and not ruining the show by being right up at your face. The sound quality was good too.

I was really impressed with this venues set up and all the memorabilia that hung from the walls. Lots of floor space for a small intimate crowd and then a cool raised bar area in the back where people can also watch sitting on velvet-cushioned seats. Definitely wouldnt mind going here again to see another show!

I’m disappointed. It seems like it could have been a cool place, but apparently men aren’t allowed to not have sleeves - meanwhile women were allowed to show as much skin as they liked because “you know girls can do things like [...]”. Arbitrary dress code that doesn’t seem to be conveyed anyway and couldn’t be explained well by the hostess, besides women are allowed to show skin.

Interesting venue to see a show country western decor with a mechanical bull included. I was there for a metal show so kind of a strange environment. Staff are friendly and facility is clean.

Young and truly culturally and racially diverse crowd, Ive had some of the best nightlife experiences of my life at the Glow and Foam parties. If you go, dont leave if you think its slow early in the night. Things get really crazy and the whole place lights up past 11 or 12 and doesnt let up til it closes!

Went to a meet and greet for preteens and teens on a Sunday when the bar is usually closed, and they tacked on an underage surcharge. What a rip off. They did not post or advertise this anywhere. So all these little girls brought just enough money for the $20 entrance fee, then Arizona Petes gouges them with a $5.00 convenience fee AND another $5.00 bar fee. Some of these little girls didnt have enough, because of Arizona Petes greed. Next time spell it out on your event page, especially if you know families are involved.

If you are looking for a fun night.. Beware of this place. The bouncers are out of control. Their job is not to abuse and mistreat customers. Someone in management needs to take control before someone gets seriously hurt. If you are looking for a place to get beat up well enjoy your night you have found the right place. This place should not be allowed to open their doors!

The facility is a very cool building. But went there for a concert and ended getting attacked. After being jumped in the building by 6 or 8 of them security kicked my brother and I out along with the attackers. 2 security walked us to my truck where we are jumped again. Security did nothing... we finally got away with some damage to my truck, bruises, and spitting some blood. As we left and talked about it, at least half of these guys were kicked out earlier in the show for attacking someone else.Either avoid going to this place or take a group of no less than 10 to protect yourselves. Security cant and wont be able to do so.

Great place early in the night. Unfortunately, they stop playing country music after 10:30, and it becomes three people dancing to rap and alot of people standing around in boots waiting to dance to country music. If they played country music throughout the night I know many more people who would frequent this place, including myself.

Review №25

Pretty sketchy place to be. I watched a bouncer grab a mans phone away from him and accuse him of videoing the bartender. Proceeded to swipe through this mans phone while the man was yelling to have his phone back so he could show them himself. He pulled his phone back and started showing them he had no pictures or videos. They began to escort him out anyway. As they were forcibly removing him, another staff member took his phone from his hands and started looking through it again. My group left ASAP when we saw this. Scary!

The security officer on duty, Fri. May, 18 is very racist.....He used the N word when asking someone to leave because of their attire...this was in front of at least 5 people in line. If the owner is ok hiring someone like that.. it’s evident they are ok with racist views.BOYCOTT this establishment or you will only feed stupidity and ignorant behavior!#NoToleranceForRacists

BEWARE of tabbing your debit and credit card.Sept. 2017 Foam party. The bartender said my bf couldnt do a single payment with a card and he took his card and ID for the tab. We only order $11 worth of drinks and got charged $30+ dollars! After back and forth with the bartender, he went up to his manager and the manager gave us $20. The bartender was claiming we took 10 jello shots! LMAO. The guy who bartended there that night was African American and looked like he was in his mid 20s. He was trying hard to get us to pay for something we didnt buy. Everyone be safe out there!

Review №31

This place is one of the sketchiest places I have ever been. From the outside, it looks somewhat like a warehouse with moderately confusing decorations placed here and there, and there is an abundance of trash all over the place. From the inside, it looks like some sort of hillbilly nightmare with animal heads mounted all over the place. It even has a mechanical bull.That being said, if you are into hillbilly stuff and you arent too picky, this place gets the job done.

Hit or miss type of place.. depending on the type of crowd comes in (on Fridays) will determine what kind of music they play after 12, its not all hip hop so I kind of felt like I wasted my time.. have had some ok nights though.

Review №36

By far the most disgusting place I have ever stepped in...That includes partying in a legitimate barn. Trash everywhere! The bathrooms had urine, paper, beer and Lord knows what else all over the floor.The bartenders do not know how to make drinks and the prices are ridiculous for what you get. NEVER IN MY LIFE GOING BACK TO THIS PLACE!!! Only people on their game; DJ and Bouncers!!!

Review №37

People who were very clearly trying to start trouble were not removed even after being pointed out to bouncers by many people. Those same people, whom I had never seen or interacted with before in my life including that night, then jumped my friends and I. got a bottle broken over my head and ended up in the ER for stitches as a result. Found out the staff knew those people and thats why they were not removed. While at the hospital I mentioned that I went to Arizona Petes and the responses of the hospital staff ranged from why would you go there? To what did you expect at that place? Can say that that will be my first and only visit.

Security is terrible. Watched them sit on their phones while people were crowdsurfing. Members of the preforming band had to grab people as they came over the barricade. It was sad. Also if you are gonna charge a 5 dollar cover for minors at least state it.

My three sisters and I went to this place for a group of small time bands concert. The place was old, dumpy and dirty. Surprisingly, the womens bathroom was fairly clean.

Review №42

I came for a four band show. The owners made the first band begin playing before the doors even opened. By the time a quarter of the line was in the door the first band was wrapping up and began packing up. Then when the second band finally began, there were sound issues from the very beginning of their set. The problems were so bad that two songs into their set the entire crowd was shouting Fix it in regard to the pa and equipment. The band agreed and just couldnt do anything because of the microphones cutting out and their monitors not working. Its clear whoever is in charge has no idea whats going on and is seriously in need of some advice, if even the bands playing are complaining. I wouldnt recommend this venue to anyone who actually cares about sound.

Just saw Sylar and The Plot in You. Amazing bands, terrible sound. Im not sure what was going on but the sound guy refused to listen to any of the band members. I know this venue is primarily for country music, but if youre going to have heavy bands play there, at least accomodate to their needs. The members are super nice guys but were treated terribly.
