I wanted to like this place because the girl was so nice over the phone when I asked if I could bring my dog to the patio. For the place not being all that busy the service was horribly slow. My poor dog and I waited an obscene amount of time on the hot patio for water and beer respectively - we're talking 30+ minutes. Can't comment too much on the food because by the time we finally got our appetizer of chips and guac (which wasn't horrible, but not great) we decided to head elsewhere.
Review Source:Food is real good & they have a descent variety of beers.
Waitress was real nice; I have no complaints. Â
I only gave it four stars, instead of five because of my own preferences; which has nothing to do with their service or quality of food, just preference.
If you like fun & local college type bars, you will love this place!
This is the best bar and grill in Tempe. All of the food is tasty and there is big list of drafts. The rotating specials are great especially Taco Tuesday, Thursday night 2-for1, and their $1 Coors Light drafts during lunch hour. Devil's has so many TVs around the bar, you'll never have a problem watching a game. The servers are always quick and work hard. They also handle large groups well.
The huge parking lot is a plus since you'll never spend time searching for a spot like on Mill. Huge convenience factor.
Just went here to watch the Steeler game. Â This place has a good atmosphere for watching sports. Â Plenty of tv screens, with multiple games going on at the same time. Â You can pick your seat next which game you want to watch. Â I ate the BLTA sandwich. Â Plenty of bacon, nice and crispy the way I like it. Â Toast just a bit too crunchy. Â Onion rings on the side were delicious. Â Also, tried the sweet potato fries which were very good as well. Â Waitress was attentive, refilling drinks and checking in on our table. Â I would go back to this bar. Â Bill for four people was 36 bucks. Â That was for 2 meals, a side of wings, 3 beers and several soft drinks.
Review Source:Loved the name of this place, so i needed to investigate another happy hour. This HH goes til 7 with 1/2 price beer and a food specials menu consisting mostly of bar stuff. The $2 pretzel was killer; hot and buttery and had a decent queso dip on side. Not the same luck on the $4 street tacos. The chicken is thigh meat and the steak had no resemblence to steak or carne asada and the tacos were loaded with too much sauce and cheap cabbage. Pretty average beer selection and not all seats at the bar can view the tv screens. Nice patio though and there was one pizza with potatoes that looked unique that i need to try on next visit. Â Not packed at all for monday night football.
Review Source:OK, Devil's Advocate Bar & Grill is a package. You get the combination of a studenticos hangout bar, and a sports bar. And it works.
I came in and sat at the bar, ordered a beer and some wings. Actually, I ordered alot of wings. They showed up quickly and they were excellent. I say again, the wings are excellent. The service is a little confusing, because I was never serviced by the same person twice - but the personnel is polite and quick.
The only negative I can say is that it was loud in here, very loud. Maybe because of the football game that was on - but even so a little too loud for any kind of natural conversation.
Summary.
Its nice, clean and have a good atmosphere. The wings are rockin' and the service is great. I will be a return customer.
.. und das ist nach der kritiker.
I've only gone during the week at lunch hour, but this medium-sized sports bar has a lot of food and drink specials.
Their wings are pretty good. Definitely above average. The medium wings are crispy and had just right amount of sauce. The sauce itself is more mild than hot, however their hot is definitely very hot! Out of the dozen, a couple of them came out dry.
The street tacos, $1 on Tuesdays, come with crumbly cotija cheese, cabbage, and a creamy cilantro sauce. The chicken was well-seasoned and were great. Very tasty. The shredded carnitas were very good but a couple of them came out dry. The steak seemed unseasoned and just didn't taste very good.
The burgers were just okay and the sliders are barely the size of a silver dollar. In both cases they seemed to be under-seasoned.
The pizza comes on a crispy crust and an underwhelming marinara sauce. And the cheese...I just didn't like. It definitely changed in flavor when the couple of slices I took back were reheated 4-5 hours later.
Service is spotty. It will go from friendly and prompt to almost non-existent depending on the day.
There are TVs all over the place but some are up really high and only of the 17"/19" variety. I'll have to try this place out when a big game is on.
Well its a sports bar with AWESOMENESS!!! Â Great specials during the week and a staff that helps to maintain the fun levels without overplaying the "keep it down fellas." Â Adam has been my drink faciliator many a times and he's been great with service and explaining some the new beers that come onto tap. Â Taco Tuesday is the place to be and with the amount of tv's, pool table, shoot'em up type games and great staff this is the place to go with a group of friends looking to reunite and remember all the blurry and forgotten nights again! Â Being close to ASU helps to keep the crowds up if your looking for energy and during the week it cools down just enough to hold a few laughs and good convo. Â I'm committed to this place for the food as well. Â It's pub grub but its good pub grub damnit!!!
Review Source:I've always wanted to stop in here but never got the chance. I finally checked it out last night after work. They always have something going on here. Wednesday they have karaoke and Sunday they have trivia. Thursdays are two for one drinks and its packed. They also have drink specials every day. We were starving so we ordered a pizza, burger, and wings (the wings were $5 on Sunday). It was all delicious but way too much food. We ended up taking at least half of it home. The service was great. The bartender had great suggestions and was on top of things without being annoying. We are looking forward to going here again for karaoke or trivia!
Review Source:This place is good for meeting people for happy hour or going out with a group. Drinks range from cheap to reasonable in price and they have a good selection of beers and liquor (tough luck if you have high-class wine taste). If you're hungry, they have a good-sized menu that's much better than your average bar fare.
On a side note, this place is great for day drinking: $1 Bud/Miller/Coors Lights before 4:00.
My go to bar in college and still one of my favorite spots.
Everyone knows of the infamous Thursdays nights and gameday madness that makes Devils Advocate the go to college bar but I have a new found love for this bar as my go to lunch spot! By far the BEST lunch happy hour I have come across! Buy one get one burgers, $1 tacos, BOGO pizzas, and $1 domestic pints. All the food is awesome especially the tacos, and a cold beer is a great addition to the work day. Adam, the manager, always makes us feel welcome and typically the bartending/waiting staff is quick and friendly.
If you don't like crowds avoid Thursday nights, especially during school.
Keep it up DA!
If i remembered correctly... Thursday nights they have BOGO(buy one get one) drinks. We had some adios and long islands all around, boy was it awesome. Pretty packed here. Filled with lots college kids and some older adults in certain areas. There are TVs and funny signs around this place. Must read them, pretty funny. :) Will definitely come here again when I visit.
great place to be with a group of friends.
I should clarify that when I said there are what seems to be a lot of patrons who are underage, it is not the fault of the bar or their bouncers, at least from what I can tell. Â They ID everyone. Â I've been ID'd every time I've come here (as have my friends), and I don't look under 21. Â I've also stood near the door and seen the bouncers check everyone. Â Those who are underage would be getting in with fake IDs. Â Just an update to make sure that part of my prior review didn't sound like I was importing fault on to the establishment for that.
Review Source:I have yet to try their dining experience, but their Thisty Thursday night specials are suh weeeet. Â $5 32oz. specialty beers all night. Â If you're looking for a good place to go to hang and listen to some music with good drink specials, this is the place. Â It's often shoulder to shoulder packed, but other than that, a very chill spot to get drinks on Thursday nights.
Review Source:My boyfriend and I come in here alot for happy hour. Good sports bar. They have great beer specials and happy hour appetizers. We're a fan of their hot wings! Too bad it's not on HH. They have a pretty good selection of food here. Typical sports bar food: wings, burgers, beer, etc. Burgers are pretty good. Would reccommend going in for happy hour. Gets pretty busy late night because its right by the college. If you like a whole bunch of drunk college kids late at night, then go here. Otherwise, not too many during happy hour, so its a chill place.
Review Source:I strongly dislike the food here, and there have been a number of occurrences where bartender basically screwed my boyfriend over and what not. Â If i had it my way i would not come back to this establishment for the life of me. I am not a horny college kid that is here to stare at girls in shorts and their boobs all night. Â They have a decent Thursday night special on drinks but i am over that stage in my life where i want to go out and get wasted and drink til i cannot remember type B.S.
I would rather go somewhere get a good deal on better beer and wine and have maybe one or two drinks tops with DELICIOUS food. Not crummy food. How can you have a special going on and have nasty food? I think the reason people give such high scores is for 1. The Girls 2. Their drink specials 3. they are drunk and love the food. Yeah its like all the drunken idiots that love Denny's. Seriously? Denny's? Get out of here with that! "Nobody goes to Denny's, People end up at Denny's"  If it were me drinking like these college kids and looking to go out i would rather drink at home to pre game and save money then  go to the bars. That is just me I am thinking logically at the moment! Â
As i am looking at the reviews on the right hand side majority of my top 3 ideas as to why people are giving such high ratings and i can bet you one other thing is because they are single and have all the time in the world to come here for that special that isn't as great as it used to be. Anytime my boyfriend brings up the name i cringe and want to stay home.
Stopped by to grab a bite to eat. Â The lettuce didn't seem to be washed, but it was alright. Â Nothing special, really. Â They have lots of TVs (even in the bathrooms) and it looked like they had good drinks, so probably way better if you're going there for booze and a football game instead of lunch.
Review Source:I'm a huge fan of this place. This is one of my go-tos in the North Tempe area.
Happy Hour: Their happy hour is pretty good, getting a 4/5. They do 1/2 off all drinks and appetizers 4-7pm on weeknights. There are also pretty good daily specials such as Taco Tuesday and Pizza...Thursday? Regardless, their food is pretty good for the price and their bartenders do not skimp on the liquor in well drinks, regardless of whether it's happy hour. Thursdays beginning at 9 is buy one get one all well drinks, too.
The service is okay, but you can't be TOO expectant since they usually seem staffed pretty thin and the place is pretty much always busy. The staff is attentive, though, however infrequent they may be able to get to your table.
The ambience is awesome. They have leather armchairs at the bar and the entire place is done in wood and bookshelves. Its mostly a sports bar, but it's also a great college hangout spot. I've had some great nights here.
When it's cold, they have heaters out on the patio along with two fire pits in a seating area/lounge. They allow smoking outside on the patio too.
I love this place. It's the closest bar within walking distance to me and I take advantage of that! They have good deals on Thursday nights and it gets packed on the patio. I usually see people I know from school or around town from time to time here. The staff is pretty good. I usually have good service. I like the Aloha Chicken sandwich or the Hawaiian pizza with a tall Blue Moon. They also have big flat screen tv's for football games!
Review Source:ALL DRINKS at 1/2 price during happy hour 4-7p. appetizers as well.
first couple times around id say the food takes a passenger seat to zipps. for instance the 'sundevil gold' wings are similar to zipps 'golden' but just doesnt have that same bite, ya know. but still a lot to try. and there is not a zipps in tempe, so this is probably the next best thing.
2-3 times the draft selection as zipps as well. pacifico on draft is nice! daily (outside hh) food/drink specials to browse on the website
outdoor patio is probably nice but havent had the chance to chill out there.
a pool table and shuffleboard, tvs, etc, etc.. a fair amount of co-eds to gawk at too. ill return.
You know, it's not just about the food and the drinks sometimes. Â It's the service that can bring you back or not. Â With that being said...what service!? Â Gosh, maybe my Engrish not goo and you didn't hear me co-wreck-lee, but when I request for my check maybe someone should attend to me to get it rolling! Â Didn't think trying to pay was such a huge ordeal! Â We even had someone go and chase down our "waitress" to ask for some help, but the Devil had other plans and she played a disappearing act. Â However, before the Devil gets to me --- drinks at this place wasn't too bad - Enjoy!
Review Source:Originally introduced to this bar via the Tempe Beerathon and most recently Road Runner Sports Third Thursday run, I have also stopped here a few times for a drink. This is becoming a favorite place of mine to hang out after work when I am looking for a quiet happy hour. If I am not going with a group of people and just want to hang alone or with another person, this spot is an excellent sports bar, has great happy hour prices, and good food.
I have had the street tacos before - one night of the week they are $1. Small, but tasty. During happy hour 4-7 drinks are half price as is the food. I had the wings and while the hot had an underlying spicy flavor, they also seemed to be somewhat sweet. Either way they were good. I have also had chips and salsa before  - the chips are fresh and immediately out of the cooker and the salsa is spicy. They do have $1 pints, but I am confused when that happens. I thought it was 4-7, but it might have been until 4. When I received my bill my first 2 were $1, then others were $2. Still a good price.
Oh, and I have to say - the staff at the Devil's Advocate is the hottest in town.
My favorite sports bar ever! Â They have good deals and specials every night of the week. Â Tacos on Tuesdays, pizzas on Wednesdays. 2-4-1 drinks on Thursdays 8pm-1am (my favorite), etc. Â Happy hour 4-7 with 1/2 off all apps and drinks.
Huge bar area to get serves fast, nice patio, flat screens everywhere, shuffle board, and pool.
My only complaint is that they need larger bathrooms with more stalls; the lines get ridiculous on busy nights.
I've driven past this place a trillion times, and when my boyfriend suggested we watch one of the bowl games the other night, this place popped into my head. We were there on a Monday night and it wasn't very packed, just a few parties here and there. The place is very well kept and looks really nice. I described it to my friend as a "classy sports bar".
Anyways, me and the boy grabbed a table and since I hadn't had dinner yet, I ordered the chicken rolls and some fries and he just had the pretzels. It was happy hour which was a plus, but the prices weren't outrageous to begin with. The description for the chicken rolls on the menu sounds far better than what they currently are (the server pointed out the change before I ordered them). They weren't terrible or anything, just pretty "meh" I guess. The fries were good though and they came in a huge tin. And my bf seemed to enjoy his pretzels. We had a few drinks while we were there, and there were plenty of tvs with various games on.
I can imagine when school in session how crazy busy this place is, but the business is well deserved.
My favoite sports bar by far. I can't think of one thing I don't like. The foods awesome, the drinks are innexpensive, they've got deals every day, and the waitresses are extremely friendly.
If you're looking for a place to hang out, watch the game, or have a great night, I'd definitely say go here. Every time.
I had lunch at the Devil's Advocate today with a few friends. It wasn't terrible, but not great -- mainly because of the food.
The waitress was friendly and took our drink orders quickly, but then disappeared for a long time when we were ready to order food. I think she may have been the only waitress on duty, since she was helping people on the far side of the restaurant area. It was pretty slow, but that's stretching it a little thin.
I ordered a BLT and sweet potato fries. Both sounded good, but didn't look so great when they arrived. The bread was grilled rather than toasted, so it was a little greasy and otherwise limp. I was happy that they served the mayo on the side, though a little cup of mayo is kind of unappealing to see. The lettuce and tomato were fresh, but the bacon was really odd. It was very similar to the kind of bacon you'd get in England, which is to say that it's sort of like Canadian bacon for pizza. Not crisp, greasy, stringy. Yuck. The sweet potato fries were pretty unappealing too. They were hot but limp and not particularly flavorful.
The ambiance and decor was good, so if you're wanting a drink, it probably wouldn't be an issue. I liked the comfy chairs around the bar, and there were TVs everywhere so it'd be a great place for watching sports. (They had a World Cup game on but the broadcast was in Arabic, which makes zero sense to me.)
I am really hard to please and I was very impressed. The remodel is great. There are lots of different areas inside and outside where you can enjoy all the TVs and music. I love the food, the service was outstanding
and I really liked the books all over the place. I can see myself hanging here a lot.
Thursday two for one drink specials! You can't beat that. But of course that comes with a grain a salt... it is packed with undergrads and the parking can fill up leaving you to park across the street at del taco. Fortunately the place is a good size and there are entertaining music videos that accompanies the super loud music.
