Azool Bar & Grill

Inviting and Friendly, Great Karaoke! This place is great. I walk in the second time in my life and the waitress calls me by name and asks if I'd like the usual. Karaoke Jock the same. You'd swear you'd walked into an episode of "Cheers". For Karaoke heads, this place is a dream on Tuesday evenings. The queue to sing is rarely more than five deep. The Karaoke software is Karafun, so we can look up and practice the songs ahead of time, AND we can log on to the Karaoke Jock's machine and request songs from our phone. The crowd, and the staff, is super appreciative of everyone from novice to rock star. I would recommend this place for karaoke for anyone of any experience level. Tuesday is Karaoke night -And- Taco Tuesday! Several pics attached. Cellphone pics always make night inside pics look like a well lighted classroom. That's the cellphone effect. The place is nicely and appropriately lighted, not brightly flooded as the pics might suggest.

We attended an event here that served dinner. We were in the back room and the divider was only a curtain so it was noisy and difficult to hear the speaker. The ribeye steak wasn't very good at all, I only ate two bites, the vegetables were swimming in grease as were the steak fries. The fish and chips were okay. Not the best place to hold event!!

I was contacted to play with the band on Saturday night, and let me tell you. This is a caring awesome group of people. If you’re in the area and looking for a cheers type vibe, your search is over. The waiters and staff are some of the friendliest and happy to serve.

The service was on point. The bar was clean and nicely lit but not too bright or dark. The food? Well my 3 piece fish and chips were huge and golden but 2 of the pieces were raw. Yes raw. The fries were a bit soggy but that's not their fault, I took it home. The raw fish was not a nice thing. I know the pieces were thick but you have to cook them.

We tried 4 different entrees. From best to worst we had the Brad (this one was unique and delicious, would definitely have this one again), cajun shrimp pasta (good but nothing special), pesto chicken pasta (good if you like pesto), and the sliders (interesting take served with an au jus but there were a bit bland overall). Fries were standard steak fries, again nothing special with them. Onion rings dipped in ranch was tasty, those were probably the best side. Server was friendly and helpful and offered several suggestions from the menu. I would go back for the Brad (the photo of the Brad is the sandwich cut in half- we shared it)

Great food!! I was a little worried it but my my salad was excellent. My husband’s hamburger was delicious too. The live music was also great.

I usually order a Rueben if I’m gonna evaluate a restaurant because it’s a basic sandwich that shines when done well and I love them. Place is a sort of north Phoenix dive - nothing special just a bar and grill. Sandwich beat my expectations. Crowd seemed mostly local. Good news was the food was great and the pastrami had great flavor but if I had to find a negative it was a bit dry. I give it a 4 because I was expecting pretty bad food but got something pretty darn good and a decent value. Cheers to the chef. PS beer too expensive. 10 bucks for a tall Dos Equis.

Been coming here for years. Upbeat atmosphere. Amazing karaoke singers when they host it. Live music sometimes. I come here on Fridays for the fish and chips. So good. Pool and darts in the back if you like a bit more low key, but the whole place is laid back. The most comfortable patio chairs of all time, by the way. Beer and food prices are very reasonable, even for imported beer. Update: 9.16.23 Learned that ownership has recently changed. They are repainting a couple of the walls, and added some white tables. The menu prices have gone up a couple of dollars per item. Haven't re-tried all the food items for changes, but we had fries, chili, and onion rings which were all okay. The atmosphere is nicer than it was previously.

Best tacos in town Hands down the best tacos Ive had here. The barbacoa was melt in your mouth tender. The homemade green salsa was incredible. Worth every penny

The servers are always friendly and quick, which makes for a great experience. The food is decent--pretty much what you'd expect from a bar. The atmosphere really depends on the day: weekends are lively and packed, while weeknights tend to be much more relaxed. The pool table and jukebox are nice touches that add to the overall vibe.

$12.00 for an IPA beer ? same beer at my other faves are $6 or $7. Made the mistake of coming back to this place after they charged me over $25 for a burger and fries. Done with this place.

Stopped for lunch at this spot in Carefree, AZ. My wife had a salad, and I had boneless chicken nuggets or wings. Service was very good by Christy B. The food is mediocre, although the place seems to be a good little bar hangout. They also have pool tables, etc.

This place surprised me because it's off the freeway north of the city. I just know I must return, the food was delicious, the chicken sandwich was juicy! The ladies that were bartending were friendly, very attentive. The atmosphere was great,relaxing, many people drinking, catching up with friends, you could tell everyone was having a wonderful fime. I will be coming back even if I drive 30 minutes north just to come eat here. If you're around the area I recommend stopping by.

Another solid evening.. Taco Tuesday w Karaoke. Good Food, Good Drinks and Good Service. This is our go to spot since we live in the area. Keep doing you Azool, we'll be back! Peace, Frankie G.

Service was great. Food was fair. Happy hour was not good. No happy hour on domestic beer?!?!? We had 2 Kiltlifters but because they are domestic drafts no happy hour?!?!?! You. Have. To. Be. Kidding !!!

I'd give 5 stars, but I can't get over how the best wings in the area only give 1 slice of carrot and celery with the wings! Hey, if that's what it takes to get great wings for $1 each, I'll be here every Wednesday! Come see Brad and Deanna for great service and a quiet atmosphere after 9, or live music from 6-9. But don't expect celery lol!

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was I did not eat. But people around me said their food was excellent. The bartenders were great acknowledged you and continually checked on your refills. Will come back, the staff had positive energy to say the least. Plenty of tv to watch sports

Great salads, fast and friendly service. It's a sports bar, so be ready for looots of background noise.

A North PHX Gem!!! Good food and drinks served by some really nice young ladies! There is a back room available for groups that doubles as an OFF track Betting area. Nice Patio. I love going there.

Ok pub food. Service was friendly, but very uneven. We all had tap beers with no foam on top or left on the glass as we drank, so they need to clean their tap lines.

Best burger in town by far...the meat ratio is perfect (chuck/lean)! Steak fries are yum, be sure as asking for ranch dressing

Beware of paying with card. I went here and my total was 35.97, I left a $5 tip on my card resulting in a total of 40.97. Today, my card was charged a total of $50.97, now I have to go through a dispute with my bank. You people are thieves.

Bad food and service, time and time again even after "new management" unless you're just going here to drink don't waste your time. Ordered a small up of soup and was given a large bowl of chili instead which was more than double the price. When I told the waitress her response was "oh you will like it" ok whatever I'm hungry but then don't charge me for anything I didn't order! The other thing I got was 6 chicken wings and somehow they only managed to give me 5. They just don't care want to make their beer money and be done.

Okay okay I didn't take many pictures but this is a really nice neighborhood bar. The food well I had wings and they were cooked to perfection! The drinks were strong and there open late...

Went for the great music of the Contrabanditos and we enjoyed taco and cob salad, two of us had the Philly cheesesteak (a little sparse on the meat) but flavor good. Served was very attentive.

I really, really want to love this place. I keep going in, because it's walking distance from my house and I'll hear rumors of improvement and try again. I like the bar staff! The bar staff is always the thing that saves the place. The good: As far as a bar, they have decent strong drinks. The staff is all very friendly. I'd still go in to have a drink. They seem to have activities, live music, etc, some nights, but I tend to miss them. If you are going to go, go to have nice quiet drink where you don't feel uncomfortable. They do that part really well. They have pool tables and dart boards, if that is your thing. It's 100% safe if you are a female who wants to go by herself. There are a lot of older people, so generally less drama. It's definitely a good place to go drink when your other places are closed or as maybe last call in your own neighborhood, not sure how long they stay open at night. Maybe I just go in on the wrong days but the music can be really old. Last time I was there, they were literally playing some 1940's music, granted it WAS mid day and there wasn't anyone in there under 45 that didn't work there, and mostly not under 60, so maybe it's my timing. Honestly, my big complaint is the food. Just don't order any food unless you are very drunk and starved and you'll probably be fine. I've had subpar food several times in this place. Last time I was in, which was January 2024, the actual main course of BBQ ribs was fine, but the side dish of carrots and green beans was so bad I spit it out in my napkin and I rarely do that. It tasted like they dumped an entire jar of garlic and yes I mean jarred garlic onto that one side dish. It burned my mouth it was so much and no I'm not a vampire. When I mentioned it and that the carrots were dark, thinking it was the garlic, she said they were organic carrots. So, they spent the extra money to buy actual organic veggies (thumbs up), but then dumped jarred garlic on it? Why not just sliver a FEW garlic cloves into it and some almond slivers and call that done? It even sounds cheaper to make it that way. It certainly would taste better. I think there have been changes lately for the better, so I hesitate to be the negative nancy here. I'd suggest maybe they should just quality control the kitchen staff/food more? Still trying to get that garlic taste out of my mouth.

Wow, really good food, served later then everywhere else in the area. I had the fish and chips and the fish was perfectly battered and delicious, chips were classic steak fries. The tarter sauce tastes home made. Highly recommend. My handsome man gif the shrimp linguine and loved it! We will be back!

We went their last Tuesday for what they call Taco Tuesday. The chicken tacos had no flavor unless you dumped the salsa they gave you on them. The beef ones were okay. We than ordered the nachos. So their version of nachos is chips with cheese on them, nothing else. They do give you salsa and guacamole on the side. Someone needs to teach them how to make nachos and for $13 what they charge is ridiculous. The service was terrible it took a friend of ours that went with us over an hour to get her fish and chips and water The server brought me 2 beers when I only ordered 1 and than tried to charge me for both beers We like the atmosphere and karaoke on Tuesday but we will make sure we eat before we go next time.

Been here off and on for 10 years. Usually a casual dinner and game of pool with friends & family. Tonight I was blown away! My daughter wanted to go here to celebrate her birthday with Taco Tuesday & Karaoke. I have never in my life heard so many gifted singers in one place, and just for fun! Tacos were amazing and Karen, our server, was the best! Thanks for making such memorable time with family & friends (and we even made new friends). See you next Tuesday at Azools!

Went here specifically for their advertisement out front for Fried Pickles Huge mistake !! Undercooked and greasy as can be left most of them behind, it left a film of grease on my tongue. I've eaten Fried Pickles at many places the worst I've ever had.

Staff is great , foods great. Reccomend everyone to swing by constant events with live music etc.

Good atmosphere, good people. Way too much live music and entertainment. It would be great to see a band one weekend night and either have a DJ or let the customers run the jukebox the other night. Tired of seeing the same bands with the same setlist over and over. It's also recently been brutally warm inside in the 110 degree heat. I like to go somewhere I can cool off with a frosty pint of beer! Please cool it down with the AC and entertainment !

I don't usually leave reviews, however, the food was so awful I felt I needed too. We Ordered a chicken dinner and it was served cold so the server took it back and microwaved it then brought it back out to the table ‍. We also ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and the chicken breast was half the size of the bun, wilted lettuce, soggy tomatoes and old off colored onions . I didn't dare try to send that back. I highly recommend not ever eating here, you could potentially end up with food poisoning based on what we were served.

Possibly the worst meal we have ever had. My husband and I both ordered the prime rib dinner - the Saturday dinner special. We both ordered it medium rare. The meal came very well done and dried out. I honestly have never seen anything like it. The waitress delivered our meals and tried to hurry away. I called her back to explain our dish and was told the kitchen was unable to cook anything medium rare. I was offered the opportunity to order a replacement and ordered the ribeye - med rare. That steak was raw with a weird gelatinous texture. My husband and I both felt ill all night long. When we asked, we were told the owners were not there and are not often on site, when they are, it's only to come in to clean. Recommend taking a hard pass on this place.

We were very pleased with our visit today. Your new menu is fantastic and the remodel is so nice. The service was excellent and we will definitely return!!

Had the BEST time with Nikki tonight at music video bingo!!! I hope she is back next week!

Azool's is cool! At least it was on a 115' day. Sat down with my buddy and ordered a bacon cheeseburger with onion rings. "Sorry no American cheese". I take swiss. Burger arrived with said onion rings and two Firestone 805's later I was completely satisfied. This a great little bar and grill, which also had live music. Will definitely stop by again next time I see my friend!

Great local place! Wings are awesome! Great selection of beers. Pool tables, darts and live music! Staff is awesome! Recommend as a fun place to hang out and enjoy live music!

new ownership Never going back! We had been going to Azool's for years. Neighborhood pub for when we don't feel like cooking. It now has new owners and customer service is horrible! Ordered the prime rib special neither of us could eat it. Even smelled bad! Like some grizzly old pot roast with a bag of preserved seasoning. Told waitress who told owners who did nothing. Paid $75 for 2 sodas. Even spoke to new owners on our way out, they obviously didn't care.

fish and chips. was good. service absolutely horrible. waitress was rude and disrespectful. waited way to long to even get someone to come back to the table. I highly recommend to stay away unless you're sitting at the bar to just drink. They cater to there bar top not there booths or high tops.

Went there because there was no where else available at the time. Very pleasant surprise. Good salad and service. I am not wild about the obviously skimpy dressed bartenders but they are incredibly good and pleasant.

Well, gave them another shot. My rating is based solely on food. I ways have a good time here, it's just that the food has been terrible. I ordered dry rub wings. They were practically inedible. They were so salty and covered with so much dry rub I had to scrape it off with a knife. Another member of our party ordered the same dry rub wings, and his had no dry rub spice. While I will come back for the fun atmosphere, I will NOT eat here again.

Avoid if you want to have a conversation. Impossible over the blaring music But great service. Ahi salad is very good. Almost switched out the wasabi dressing but it was delicious! French dip good but could use more meat.

the food was good, cooked how i want, but my server lexi was so slow on checking on me and making sure i had everything i needed. wouldnt recommend seeing her.

Doesnt look like much.. But up north it is a good place to grab some wings and a beer or 12. They also have live music every now and then

So, I had seen all the reviews on Yelp for this place, and it seemed this place was a mixed bag of good and bad reviews. So decided to just try it out myself. Well, the beer was fine, but it took forever to get service, and by the time we finally got our beer, we were to fed up to wait to order food and wait another 30 min for it. I will give it another try and buy food next time.

Great place to hang out and have some drinks. Always a great crowd, and live music sometimes. All th food is awesome. My favorite is the Marcus chicken sandwich

Write this place off! Lunch was probably the worst of any meal had anywhere. arrived at noon and got order in quickly. Only bartender "serving " and SHE SUCKS!! OMG! The special was a damn BLT? And it took 25 plus minutes to get it. Steak fries were old and barely warmed up. Ketchup was a poor man's mix of tomato sauce and sugar...you could tell it was the cheapest thing they could buy based on texture AND terrible taste. So, service is TERRIBLE...food is Terrible and everything else was a crap show. Never coming back and you should avoid this place like the plague!!!

Nice place to stop in for a drink and maybe pool? It was nice and chill inside. Bartender was good.A few pool tables . I might eat next time but the menu looks okay for a bar? Nothing special so if the flavors are good. Winner but if its just basic well. I'll probably save the calories!

Was looking for somewhere to watch the minnesota Vikings game while in town visiting and so glad we found this place! The staff was very friendly and ran some great game day specials. Made lots of new friends and will definitely be back next time we are in the area!

Absolutely is an awesome spot and a MINNESOTA VIKINGS BAR!!!!! not many here in AZ but this place is by far the best! Food is always great and they have a great variety of stuff on the menu and football happy hour specials. The owners Mary and Jake are the best, super friendly and down to earth. I became a regular in just a couple weeks

I immediately liked the vibe, although I feel they should consider opening the front doors on beautiful days with some sort of screen system if allowed. My heavy friend struggled to get into the booths although if the tables at the booths were not bolted to the floor it would have been better :) Draft beer selection, ok, TV placement ok, Server was okay. We had our food in 40 minutes. Turkey Rueben sandwich w/fries and 1/2 rack of ribs........both were delicious! A neighborhood go to, they are what they are!!! You can trust me, I'm in the business ;D

GREAT PLACE!!! The staff is very friendly and the amenities create a fantastic ambience. For the last few years I have stopped by for a casual meal with buddies and the food has always came out well. That is with the exception of take out nachos, but that's on me for thinking it would turn out well. Shout out to Deanna, Brad, and Jake for always being awesome.

Used to love the food here and popping in once a week but something has definitely changed with the food, they should get new menus if they're not going to make the food correctly/as described. Done here.

Been to Azul many times over the last year...food is good, but wait staff has become terrible. I try & account for Covid stress on staff, but this rude behavior has become a trend & mgmt must be aware, as it is happening in plain sight. Recent visit this week, server (Mary I think?) watched us sit, walked by numerous times, then when I asked (after seriously 20+ min) if we could be assisted, she expressed they were busy & our table would have to wait. I ordered drinks at the bar & got myself...not end of the world, no problem. Again long wait, asked her if we could order food, she barked that I had already started ordering from bar, so maybe I should order there. Definitely a trend here, service has been bad last three times, wont give them my biz again!!

Terrible service. I will never go back this place again. The staff was nice but the manager was awful.

This is a cool little joint with some neat decor and a back room with classic bar games. I wasn't planning on playing darts, but seeing as it took my group an hour to get our food, I give it a go. It even took close to 45 mins to get our appetizers and when we asked the waitress if our food was almost up, she gave attitude. I don't mind waiting if the service is good and the food is good but my food was not worth the wait. I got the plain burger- I asked for it medium rare and it came to me well done and a little charred. It was super dry. The only reason I'm not giving this place 1 star is because they have a nice drink menu and it's a cool place to hang out. But I will not be revisiting this place anytime soon.
