I used to LOVE this bar! They remodeled it from when I used to go. When I first started dating my BF and was new to Phoenix we used to go here a lot. The bartenders here were great! And they knew how to mix a drink! Especially the Asian woman, she was super nice and mixed one of the best sex on the beaches I have ever had! Kept me coming back, I also used to love the vibe of the bar, sometimes it got loud most of the time it was laid back during the summers since ASU students were probably back home.
I did have a particular incident which made me stop going so much when a fellow customer called me a "colored girl". I won't say he was racist nor will I say it was the bars fault because honestly he was hassling the bartender also. He was too drunk and talking out of the side of his neck, and his friend with him bless his heart.... but I didn't particular LIKE being in an environment where I was being offended and yet paying the same amount as the next guy.
All in all this bar is good and well! I miss coming here, but I no longer live in Phoenix anymore so it's a thing of the past, but if your looking to stray off Mill this wouldn't be a bad place to come!
The place seems like it could be a great dive bar, and perhaps the waitress was just preoccupied with others as it was busy.
She could not describe the beers on tap, nor tell me which were ales, and simply walked away without concluding the conversation. In that moment they lost the 2 stars from my review. Thank goodness the wings were decent.
So- if you want bud light and wings with your game, this place is great. Very good daily deals. Lots of TV's... and a waitress that doesn't take any crap.
After walking around on Mill for a bit on New Years Eve we headed back to our hotel for some drinks in our room (the college scene wasn't really what we were looking for that night). Â We happened to walk past the Baer's Den, and it was exactly what we were seeking! Â We sat outside and they turned a heat lamp on for us. Â Drinks were cheap, and though they started out weak we asked for them a little stiffer and they accommodated.
Review Source:I make sure to stop by at least once to the Baer's Den anytime i am in The Pheonix area. The place was moved and rebuilt i guess as i remember a sightly different place from my prior visits. This was my 2nd trip in since the "remodel" not much was lost or changed as this place is a great little drinking establishment. It is well laid out and nicely decorated (even though i am a NY Yankee fan, haha) The bar could be a bit longer to accomodate more patrons but it does the job. They have some amazing drink special and Friday night's special can not be beat. Employees always seem nice enough. Never tried the food so can not comment on that. Last time i was there, Miller 64 was there handing out free beers as a promo, go figure. Good job Baers Den, i will be back, maybe for a Red Sox - Yankee game, just don't hurt me.
Review Source:Corban,
I'd invite you to look at the fact that we all have bad days. Â I can't speak on your experience personally of course, but I can say without hesitation that Rena is one of the nicest people out there. Â Maybe you happened to catch her on a really tough day? Â Just a thought. How great would it be for you to give it another try and come back with a positive experience! Â I've been a regular at this bar for over 11years and feel like I can say with confidence, your experience was a rare one. Â Give the Den another try, and I bet you'll be glad you did.
I like to go here sometimes on friday nights with friends. They have a very young college seen and the drinks and  great drink specials on friday between 9-12 you can pay 10 dollars to get all the drinks you want. This is a great starter bar I have never been on any other night though.
Review Source:Just stopped by the new location which to me will always be referred to as Franks! I guess I'm dating myself. The new building looks great and of course the bartenders were as friendly as the good old college days. Great patio too! U can't beat this location either if ur in the area and need a place to grab a drink and/or watch the game. My only wish is a more extensive menu. Â I think if they threw some bomb tacos, guac or tri tip sandwiches for instance, they would reach a whole new group of peeps. Lookin good Scotty!
Review Source:I was happy to see that one of my favorite bars was still in Tempe. So much has changed in the last 12 years since my ASU days, but I was glad that the little dive bar was still there. I spent more time there then I did attending my classes. It was good to see some familiar faces. If you stop in, there will be some regular customers like Floyd.
Review Source:Its only a 2 by dive bar standards, especially for that area of Tempe. The drinks are pretty much regular price all the time and its usually musical chairs with the (mediocre) staff. Plus, its an umpire hangout during Spring Training in March... seems like a lot of nerds are always hanging out in there rapping about Ben Affleck or Fenway Park. The "drive thru" window on the patio is convenient when you need a beer when you're out having a smoke.
Review Source:I love this place. Even someone who isn't a Boston sports fan should like this place. Here's why:
Yes, they serve stiff drinks for low prices. Yes, they have Boston sports memorabilia. Yes, they are a dive bar. These are all givens.
What do they do that sets them apart you ask?
Today I participated in a holiday toy drive. You bring in a toy for less fortunate kids and you get a free drink. I can't think of anything more awesome for the holiday season. I didn't even really want the drink. I just was happy to have the opportunity to help someone in need.
Also, they play Sons of Anarchy every Tuesday night. I can't think of any other bar that does this, and I totally dig it.
Point in case, this bar is different. They do typical bar things, but also go above and beyond for their customers and community.
This is by far my favorite bar, ever, and I've been to quite a few. And I will put my money on the fact that you will love it too.
I never have a bad time here. Of course, Im a Boston sports fan so I may be biased.
This place is my Cheers. I can go in anytime of the week and the bartender knows my name, even if I havent been there in a long time. All the regulars are super nice too. The drinks are great, Sam Adams on tap, the food is greasy and delicious. I almost always go w/ my fiance (not a Boston fan) and they are always more than willing to change a TV to whatever game he wants.
And the breakfast....*drool*. They only serve it on the weekends during  football season, it is SO GOOD. The simplest dishes, but they always hit the spot.
They also do specials during baseball season. Different hotdogs from different parks, split top rolls and Kayems for Sox/Yanks games, and lobster rolls.
I love this place. Â I've spent many many nights the past four years at school here. Â You can't beat $10 dollar special on Fridays and they always have other deals going on. Â They also serve food which is good bar food; typical burgers, fries, wings etc. Â I def miss hanging out with my friends at this bar now that I'm down with school and wish I could back.
Review Source:Ok, I like this place. It does get a little warm in there during the summer but its not too bad.
The patio is a nice place to chill out with your friends, plus with it being i tempe, you get to see some amazing people watching of drunken stumblers going by.
Ya they have karaoke..but it sucks. Their sound system is a freaking joke! the mic is always cutting in and out. If they fixed that, it would be 100 times better.
If you hang out there too much, it can become a problem as some o the staff seem to poke their noses into your business.. you just got shut that down as soon as it starts.
ALSO- KNOW HOW TO MAKE YOUR COCKTAIL OR SHOT Â most of the staff are first timers and really dont know what they are doing behind the bar. But they are friendly and take direction well
This little Red Sox bar boasts all the great baseball decorations you would want as a Boston fan!! In addition, They have the BEST karaoke shows on Thursday and Saturday from 9-1 (or later). They have the greatest, friendliest group of bartenders on the planet as well. High accolades for this bar!!!
Review Source:Karaoke on the light rail right near Apache and Rural?
OK. I'm in.
Rolled with a huge group of people and proceeded to promptly perform my TLC's "Creep" (my voice is slowly disintegrating to Bea Arthur/ Jennifer Tilly/ That chick that sang "Bette Davis Eyes" status, ok?) and I just luuurve a wireless mike so I don't trip when I re-enact this song. At this point I really just should invest in a set of silk pajamas I perform this song so often.
But I digress.
Look, if you have a good group of people willing to embarrass yourselves, you're willing to subject yourself to odd come-ons at the bar, and you realize this is a tiny divey sports bar with a lot of old men, you'll be fine.
We even got to witness a bar brawl where a dude was kicked out!
The song "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic" was performed and the bar erupted into 30 women dancing and singing along Snoopy style to the lyrics, I felt I was in the 80s movies that promised spontaneous feel good crowd dancing!
When I saw a clown van of a thousand bro-dawgs and their assorted scary women crawl out arrive, it was def time to leave- yikes!
But I mean, karaoke, cheap drinks, a little patio, a decent bathroom, bar brawls, not a bad way to pass some time, no?
intr.v. whored, whoring, whores
1. To compromise one's principles for personal gain.
I came here a year ago for Karaoke. They treated me like dirt and acted as if they had never heard of such a thing.Tonight some of my friends decided to go and said it was awesome. I decided to give it another chance. BIG mistake. The host of Karaoke night fits the above definition to a T. Â I am not one to make personal attacks but this guy kept promising me I would be next and NEVER played my song. I was a paying customer. Let me sing my damn song. Oh but the guy that slipped his tongue in his mouth got to sing before me even though he didn't show up until an hour after I did. I even was able to guess the song he played between each song: April March, Chick Habit. No one else knew that! He let fat pigs and sluts sing before me and I was there when there were only like 5 people in the bar. They paid him off to sing their crappy songs. Granted I'm not the best singer in the world but at least I can follow the lyrics and carry a tune! I will never, ever come here again. Three words: KISS MY ASS!!
This bar is less than a five minute walk from a friend's apartment so that alone gets a huge star. The drinks are great and cheap, the service is friendly, and my favorite is the music for the most part rocks!
I'm taking away one star because there are only ten or so bar stools and if it gets crowded here I'm sure it wouldn't be comfortable.
Stopped in for a weekend lunch and a beer. The bar tender was extremely friendly and the crowd of regulars all seemed to be having a great time! I ordered a blue moon and cheese burger and my husband ordered the ham and cheese. Both meals were solid. Â The Baer's Den is righ across from a new ASU student housing development and according to the bar tender, it's pretty interesting to watch the drunken coeds on Friday and Saturday nights go crazy. But for us older yelpers, there's no need to worry about them interrupting your bar experience. None of them are old enough to get in so you can enjoy your beers in peace.
Review Source:the only reason this bar didn't get 5 stars is because its a boston bar and i hate boston with a firey passion. Â knowing this, you should conclude that this place ROCKS IN EVERY OTHER ASPECT, since it got the most stars allowable with the minus one for the boston garb haha. Â hubs and i went to this bar because they had satellite and so they had the ability to play all the baseball games when we were visiting az. Â they were happy to put on the angels game for us-yey! Â the bartender was a totally chill guy, even gave the hubs a smoke. Â and the cook ROCKED !! she was so sweet and she was an angels fan so she came out and kicked it with us. Â she even bought us each a shot!! and their prices are greeeeaaat! Â its a small place, with great food, and great people. Â you can't go wrong at baer's! Â (boston sux)
Review Source:While out in AZ for Spring Training (GO CUBS!) we ended up at Baer's Den probably 4 or 5 of our 7 night stay. This place is awesome! $2 Mighty on tap (think Fat Tire), what a f'n deal... We drank the crap out of that Mighty, Mighty! Anywho, I met some amazing folks over at Baer's Den and have stayed in touch with them since being there and plan on meeting them back out there in March 2010... Oh and let's not forget the stripper pole, it's a stripper pole made for people 5' or shorter... It's actually hysterical and the drunk men seemed to give it a whirl more then the ladies. Â
BTW, staff is super friendly too.... Food, I'd give it a "B". Great drink prices. The owner was super friendly. Overall, LOVE IT!
Thanks for the memories. See ya soon!
