The Duce

This place was great! I love the open space to meet and have fun. The food and drinks are great. The staff is awesome they really know how to deal with a large crowd. Love the Cornhole section and the boxing ring. Definitely a good time!

This was my first time at the deuce. There’s a lot of interesting and awesome things about this place. Patio vibes are pretty cool. The employees are really cool. Maddie is very cute. Special events. Live music. Located conveniently in downtown Phoenix.

I really want to like this place..... Sadly, the experience was pretty meh. The overall look and theme is 5/5 It's nice and inviting. The food, isn't terrible but not creative. Its fair priced for the amount you get. 3/5 The alcohol is TERRIBLE!!! Watered down drinks for 15 bucks. Granted its pretty in the little jars... If im gonna pay good money, at least get me buzzed. Staff 5/5 granted they were all friendly and on top of their game. I just don't think i'll be coming back

Nice place to host your private events with plenty of space. Good to go salsa dancing on Thursday or just for a drink any other day.

Mac and cheese balls and turkey burger wrapped in butter lettuce is my go to. Latin dance lessons and now a rooftop. All kinds of niche seating and pleasant staff plus cool and unique fresh cocktails

The drinks were super refreshing thanks to all the fresh fruit, and the bartender made them look amazing. The food coming out looked really tasty and was served in fun, creative ways. We’re definitely planning to come back and try it!

Awesome place! Best downtown Phoenix bar. Amazing performance by Sugar Rays Mark McGrath and Maggie speaks. Night to remember! If your looking for the coolest place to hang it look no further.

Cool spot but there was a big event going on so we were not able to go inside or upstairs…Limited seating but we did get a spot inside the school bus ( DELICIOUS Drinks)

Great space. I've visited Duce after work for fun and games. And I've attended several weekend shows. Recently, I attended the Melrose Vintage Market with a good friend and we spent an hour or so enjoying a cocktail as we walked around looking at the unique offerings of each vendor. They sell can & bottled beer. The cocktails are made from organic products, poured into a mason jar, and garnished. There is valet parking. If that's full, street and metered parking is available. Accessible entrance

I wandered in here on a Sunday afternoon as I heard about the Melrose Vintage Market happening here and so glad I made it in! What a cool spot! This is a neat indoor/outdoor space in the Warehouse District of DTPHX! It reminds me of places I would go to in Brooklyn but add cactus and cowboy boots! Parking is always a disaster around here (like NYC) and I even saw lots saying $25 for event parking. There was a game going on, so people were paying those prices. Not me, you will find me dodging incredulous parking fees and will also at the same time get my steps in, a win-win situation. But when it's 115F outside, just know you're gonna be hot getting your steps in. Admission into the vintage market was $5 and you can bring your whole crew. I don't like drinking when it's hot outside as it dehydrates you even more, so I checked out one of their cool bars and got a Topo Chico. I was hungry after indoor climbing at my gym so I checked out their brunch offerings. There's another bar where the music stage is and the nice bartenders walked me to the brunch ordering area. I am in the closet about this but I love gravy and biscuits, a true Southern treat but not great for you lol. I ordered this dish and it was delicious. Biscuits and gravy are so filling and I could only finish half of it. Took the rest home. Lots of cool vintage wares here and I saw some really unique items like Gumby products which was big in my childhood. Lots of T shirts, jeans, jewelry, kitchenware for sell. My favorite part of visiting was discovering the band Twice Baked Band here. They played music that I love, classic rock/British flair. One of the lead guitarist also came up to talk to me, Adam, and he even invited me to more shows (and he's a former New Yorker, born in Manhattan)! Overall, such a lovely Sunday afternoon and will definitely come back again. But, I will need to figure out another way to get here. Deducted one star for parking wores. Maybe I'll fly my magic carpet in!

I checked out The Duce on a Friday evening for a Woodstock event. I took an Uber so I can't comment on the parking situation. Ambiance (5/5): This is one of the things that I liked most about this sprawling bar and restaurant. As you walk in, you'll see a retro bus that you can go in, and outdoor bar, and a rooftop (with its own bar as well). Which is a fun place to hang out when the weather cooperates. I spent most of my time indoors on this visit. The interior has several bars, stages, and plenty of seating. This includes picnic table-style seating, bar stool seating, and a few comfortable couches. I loved the aesthetic, overall. Even though I was there for a special event, I would definitely come on a regular night, too. Service (4/5): I ordered from the same bar the entire night. Friendly and efficient service. My only pet peeve? They don't give you an itemized receipt, nor do they give you a customer receipt, unless you ask. I hate when bars do this. Food (N/A): While they do have several food areas, including dessert, I had dinner prior. Next time around. Drinks (4/5): The Duce specializes in cocktails served in mason jars with fresh fruit and garnishes. They have a large menu with cocktails broken down by spirits including vodka, gin, rum, tequila, and whiskey. I tried three different cocktails and they were all delicious. Their most popular one is the strawberry limeade (vodka based). Think of a spiked drink from Sonic and that is what it tasted like (I may have done that back in the day ;)). The drinks aren't cheap but they're well-made. The Woodstock Summer of Love event was an awesome time which I would put on your list if they do it again. Regardless, I would return any day of the week, special event or not.

I went to the Duce for the Melrose Vintage Market they have every month. They have complimentary valet parking and it's $5 per group to get in. What a super cool vibe at this spot. There were many different vendors from handmade goods to vintage clothes and bags and everything in between. I didn't try and food or drink but there were some good looking selections! I guess they also have a band playing later but when I went there was a DJ spinning 80s tunes. Apparently in the winter the market moves outside. Super cute stuff!! Is I'll definitely be back!!

I had an absolute amazing night for the pride night. The space was accommodating for the amount of people. The bathrooms were clean. Love that there is street parking so I am able to enjoy the area around as well.

Drinks alone were so refreshing withe all the fresh fruit. Beautiful presentation by bartender. Food coming out looked good as well. Creative ways to display food. We will definitely be back to try them.

Came to The Duce for their Urban Cowboy event in June and omg it was so much fun! The Duce is a unique, fun space and the ambiance is great for a night out. Love that it's an open concept, has both indoor and outdoor areas, and doesn't feel too congested even when there is a lot of people. The food we got was delicious! We tried the fried Mac and cheese sampler bites as well as their sliders. They offer a ton of different drinks and I was able to get a yummy mocktail. Service was great and everyone was friendly and inviting. I can't wait to go back for the next Urban Cowboy event because it was so unique and fun I'll definitely return!

Came here for the Melrose Vintage market and decided since they said there was brunch, we would eat while we were there. Not only did it take 45 minutes to get our food, the food was some of the worst food I've had in a while. It was absolutely bland, I don't think they seasoned anything. I had the hatch green chili cheese Turkey burger and you couldn't take any chilis and the turkey bite (it filled half the slider bun), was entirely unseasoned. My wife had the scramble and it was also Very bland. The food was on the verge on inedible. Ambience was great though and the shop vendors were fun. Just don't eat here.

We had a great time at The Duce. Parking was kind of difficult, so we had to do a little walking. It is like a big warehouse with games (giant connect 4, table hockey) a boxing ring, Cornhole, hula hoops, etc. It's a fun atmosphere with a lot of places to take fun photos. The food was fine, and really reasonably priced. There are separate kitchen and bar counters, so you have to go here, then there. Not a fan of that. All in all it was a fun night. Don't forget to use the free photo booth!

Came here via DDD. Interesting combination of indoor and outdoor space. Were a little confused about available parking as they had valet section but we didn't see anything else, so we wound up parking a few blocks away at a metered spot. Had a live band playing on a Sunday afternoon that was playing loudly via the speakers throughout the facility. Placed our order at a counter and took our number to a spot on the corner of a huge squared off picnic table arrangement that was covered in the outdoor portion. Food seemed to take a while, but server who brought our food was friendly. Shared the Hatch Mac & Cheese Muffins ($17), which were fine but were basically mac & cheese in a mini-muffin-like shape. I think 9 came in the order. We also ordered the Family Sampler Basket of 6 sliders ($35) and each of us had 2. I ordered the Reuben and the Melted Cheese Sliders, although they made a mistake and gave me just the Brisket instead of the Reuben, which they quickly corrected. It was OK, but I didn't love any of them. Not sure we would come back to eat as the value doesn't seem great for what you get. I think this place might cater more to a younger drinking crowd from what I gathered.

Not good. Food was bad. The mashed potatoes were in a pool of grease and inedible. Mac and cheese balls were dry and flavorless. Staff were ok.

This place is located near the Footprint Center at the NE corner of Central Ave and Lincoln St. Parking is an issue here. They do have a small valet lot but it gets packed and it takes time to squeeze cars in and out. The alternative is street or garage parking if you can find it. The setup and decor are cool and the food overall is pretty good with some variety. They had both regular and vegetarian meatball slides. I did not have drink but they had quite a few options (see photo). We were there for a Christmas party and apparently they only do parties. Better location and food than where the previous party was held.

Okay the chicken pot pie will... Wait for it..... BLOW YOUR BALLS OFF! You may be wondering, women don't have balls.... Correct. Having said that your lady balls will be blown off Okay get the idea. Atmosphere is very fun and salsa dancing on Thursday night is a blast. Do yourself a favor and come to The Duce ASAP!

They have a lot of fun games you can play like ping pong, hackey sack, boxing among others. The decor is cool and they have good food and drinks.

Really fun and neat place. We were here a while ago for the Final Four weekend, and this place was the official Purdue post-game place to be, with our beloved piano guy taking over the joint. And it's a very large joint, so if a Purdue victory party is not your scene (this was after the final four, not the final), then maybe a wedding suits you better. There was an entire wedding reception here that same day. I'm not sure who greenlit for us to be there, but I did feel for the bride whose wedding was marked by a bunch of singing Purdue basketball fans. Point is, the locals is sizable. There are lots of bars, and food maybe. We didn't get any food, it was super expensive and the lines and waits were astronomical. I'd love to be back on a normal weekend!

Visiting from LA and had the pleasure to stop by!!! Food was great and had unique flavors. The mac and cheese balls were great along with the bruschetta. The drinks were really good - we loved the Santa Cruz. Everyone was friendly and happy. It was like walking into a party - the ambiance was on point. Highly recommend.

My company booked this place for an evening, and I had a great time. There were a couple hundred of us, and we booked the whole place. I can see how you can reserve certain sections as there are bar setups all around. The food we had was great, never any waiting, and the staff were terrific. We had the most amazing band where we could choose from over 300 songs for live karaoke. And THAT was spectacular. Good times!

I love this place. The food is very good and the choices are unique. The drink choices are also vast and unique. I'd rate it at 5 Stars if the prices weren't so high. If you don't mind spending more money than normal, this is a great place to go.

Wow! This place is huge. Wife and I stopped in for dinner and a few drinks. We ordered the brisket platter and Chicago Vienna Hotdog. Food was delicious with generous portions.,Hostess, bartender and wait staff were all friendly, approachable and smiling. Sound system at the beginning wasn't using all of their speakers so it was all treble. After a while, when more people arrived, they kicked in the entire system, which sounded great. They have corn hole a giant size connect four and a ping pong table. Definitely will stop in, if ever back in Phoenix! We heard there isn't alot of parking and took an Uber, so was no issue.,

We were going to a concert really close to The Duce so we decided to check it out before the concert. Soooo glad we did. We arrived right when they opened so not busy at all. It is a huge place and they have indoor and outdoor areas. They have games all around (cornhole, big connect four, hula hoops, etc.) and it is nice and spacious. I could see it getting pretty busy. Everyone was super nice. The drinks were good and the food was good too. We ordered the brisket and the Chicago dog. My hot dog was really yummy- I really love Chicago dogs! The brisket was definitely not like TX brisket as they chopped it and sauced it. If you like it prepared that way, you will like it. The mac and cheese cornbread was pretty darn good. The potatoes were OK. I would def hit this spot if you can. Very cool vibe.

Camille was awesome!!! We had a party of approximately 20 and she patiently waited on us along with other customers. She was outstanding and made good drinks. Thank you Camille for your patience and service!

This place looks super fun! I was there when they didn't have everything open yet, so not sure of the full experience, but they appeared to have many rooms/outdoor areas for an array of activities, open seating and reservable spots. The food was pretty good. The Mac & cheese bites were kinda mushy, but the pot pie in a jar was amazing! Service was great!

The Duce used to be one of my favorite places to drink at. I don't go out much anymore but stopped by before the World Series.. What a let down. The food was so bland - we couldn't even eat our bbq. The worst was the coleslaw tasted like banana pudding?

Latin night! We came here on a Thursday night ready for all the vibes to be thrown our way. We walked in to a huge room compartmentalized into a dance floor, boxing arena and huge dining area with high tops and large tables. Okay, Latin night--it was poppin here. Definitely would recommend coming for the good music and dancing, definitely entertaining regardless of if you want to dance or watch from the crowd, (like me and my friend did) haha. It was about 10pm, we were hungry and this place popped up. Ordered the turkey burger sliders, mason jar salad and brisket sliders--oh and can't forget the loaded mash potatoes???? Definitely good food and was happy to try turkey burger sliders for the first time? Yum. Quality of food was great, beer was great, vibes were great. Nothing bad to say here .

We had a company Christmas Party at the Duce in late-December 2024. All went well. Very good food as a general statement. Entertainment was decent. Couple drink vouchers per staffer. All went well in total. Solid venue.

This was a really dope spot. Came here for the last night of a work conference and the place was lit. Drinks were flowing, and the bartenders knew how to get it done. The place is huge too. Tons of space and something like a half dozen little bars spread throughout. The DJ knew what he was doing too. Pretty sick spot. Would go again.

I went on a Friday night Easter weekend so maybe that's why it was so empty but there was maybe 10 people in the whole place at 9:30pm. The vodka lemonade drink is maybe the best cocktail I've ever had, it's made with the freshest and best tasting fruit (and they don't skimp) and I couldn't taste any alcohol but there was definitely alcohol in it because I felt it. We ordered the apple pie for dessert and they made it fresh to order and the crust was good but the rest was just okay! It would have been so much tastier with vanilla ice cream. Love the atmosphere though with all the games and lights and boxing ring! Can't wait to see it with more people

DO NOT DO THE KARAOKE UNLESS YOU GET A GOOD MIC (i knw this cuz the karoake guy has a audio sound set up that changes the feedback so you sound muffled and he sounds excellent) the duce has good ice cream sometimes the sliders are good the place is also a wearhouse for fitness and The owner leads saturdays sometimes.they serve there beer in ball mason jars i worked there the year when Deschutes Brewing celebrated Debuting "Fresh Squeeze IPA" all over the US

Made a reservation a couple months ago, for over a week I've been trying to contact them to reschedule, no one calls back! I spent a lot of money on this reservation and they don't reach out 2-3 weeks before the reservation. I want a refund!! Over $300

Was was in town, so I had to try this place out since it was on triple D. When we arrived at the place the outside was very big and plenty of seating. The inside was very big as well and the Decour look really nice. We went to one of the two bars that were open and ordered a couple cocktails that were very delicious and our bartender. PJ was very nice and helpful. We ordered the bruschetta which took a while to get think it took at least 15 minutes. We then ordered the brisket platter and the chicken pot pie. The chicken pot pie was delicious And great flavor but a little bit too much crust and not enough chicken or veggies or just the filling I would say. The brisket platter was ok, The brisket was more like pulled brisket instead of sliced brisket, but the potatoes and the Mac and cheese muffin was delicious.

Oh boy. I guess I would need to go back another time for a more informed opinion. But it's alright. I was invited for a friend's birthday. Their bruschetta was quite good. I enjoyed the one with pesto and spicy salami. Their Mac and cheese muffins were not it. The desserts were fairly good. But I'm not a big drinker, so when I get a cocktail, I want it to taste and be worth the cost at least somewhat. I got one of their hard lemonades, and I don't even think there was any vodka in it. It tasted like Countrytime lemonade if I'm being honest. Just seems like you pay for the space and the atmosphere, but I also want good, consistent food and drinks.

My Son & grandson took me here for my Mother's Day Brunch. The food was delicious. The servers were pleasant and efficient. The ambience was wonderful. I would highly recommend this location.

I recently attended an event at The Duce and I have to say, it was a great time! This is a fun spot to swing by for some drinks, dancing, and games! In my case, I attended an event that had been planned there, and I also found it to be a good spot for events to be hosted. The event I was there for was related to a graduation, but I think this would be a good spot for birthdays, engagements, and lots of receptions. Pros: Music: The music was great! There were a couple of DJs at the event, and they played amazing 70s and 80s music, and they also had a saxophone player come out on stage! The crowd was definitely heating up the dance floor. Drinks: The drinks were really delicious, and there was a great beer selection. The bartenders were friendly and efficient! Games: There were lots of opportunities to play games, hula hoops, ping pong, and corn hole. If you get tired of dancing, there are lots of other opportunities for fun! Friendliness: The staff was super friendly and did an amazing job! One of the ladies who was helping to clean and bus tables was so sweet and complimented my outfit and made my night. The bouncers were also very friendly and helpful! Ambiance: Good ambiance! Drinks flowing, good lighting (not too dark, or too bright) fun set ups with games, lots of seating and also lots of space to dance! Cons: None, I would highly recommend that you drop by here for a good time! There were time that I do wish the music was a little lower-- it was a bit hard to hear others in most areas of the space.

I have been coming to The Duce for about 6 years now and it never disappoints! My teenagers always ask to come with me (there's not many places they want to go anymore) so this is an awesome place for our family fun. There are things to do for the entire family like fooseball, ping pong, giant connect four, corn hole, selfie station, boxing ring, hula hoops, dancing, and live music (on Friday and Sunday nights). The food is amazing!! I wish they would bring back the beef burger sliders but the Turkey burger sliders are mouth watering so I'll be all right. Our most recent visit we just came for dessert and games and tried two of their cheesecakes. The cinnamon was my favorite of the two. The s'mores was great also but super rich so I only had one bite which was more than enough. They used to have milkshakes which were our family favorite. I hope they bring them back!! Note their food does take some time it is not quick. If your starving go somewhere else. The kitchen is small so be patient, grab a cocktail or three, and have some fun!

My 21 year old son took us to the Duce for dinner. We were definitely the oldest people there. Had a blast playing baggo, listening to the DJ play 80's dance music, and eating their famous sliders. I'm from Chicago and the only sliders I've ever had came from White Castle. The Duce takes sliders to a whole different level--I had the meatball sliders 4/5 (White Castle sliders are a 1/5 if you're keeping score at home). Everything was good. My wife loved the pot pie in a jar. If you don't try anything else, get the mac and cheese muffins--out of this world!

Valet IS 3rd party contractors that STEAL STUFF. Given that the Duce employs these clowns shoes that this establishment does not care about safety or possessions for that matter. Came for a holiday PARTY!! I left a firearm in my vehicle which I legally owned and registered and these clowns had no answers as to why it was missing and WHO HANDLED MY VEHICLE. Management was non existent through the whole ordeal. Never going back. This place is a joke and understaffed when it comes to complex issues.

Had an absolute blast for Mother's Day brunch. Wasn't able take pictures of all of the food as well kids are kids but drinks were fire service was awesome and moms had a blast. Looking forward to coming back again with just the adults

I threw a rehearsal dinner or Welcome party here in April. I worked with Frankie from the Duce to plan this event. After calling multiple other venues in Phoenix & Scottsdale, I found Frankie the most responsive, organized and confident contact compared to all the other venues. I am from Chicago and only met with Frankie ONCE in person and the rest of our communication was by email & phone. EVERYTHING Frankie promised or confirmed happened! The space was perfect! The staff was unbelievable! The Bartenders we great! The food was exceptionable! Tiger the DJ was awesome! The Line Dance instructors where great & added a lot of fun to the party! And the Photo Booth Frankie also got for us, was the finishing touch! I can honestly say my 114 guests had the best time & they are ALL still raving about the Party, Food, Music & Fun! Whether it's a private party, or corporate event THE DUCE would be my first and only choice! This Venue has figured out the formula for Planing & executing the Perfect Party! Thank you Frankie & the Owners of the Duce for doing EVERYTHING Right!!!!!!

Super cute spot! We came here for brunch on Saturday & the bar was not crowded at all. My fiancé had the brisket skillet with scrambled egg. I had the breakfast jar with scrambled egg. Both dishes were packed with flavor. I forgot to mention how great my fresh squeezed mimosas tasted. I definitely recommend this spot & would love to come back at night to experience a live performance!

Pretty litty place to eat & drank - spacious venue that allows you to roam around & enjoy all it has to offer! They had a live sax man, dancers, DJs & performers just killing the game. Step outside to the beer garden-looking patio & get some fresh air after having a splendid time. Their old fashioneds came with a twist & thoroughly enjoyed. If only I knew that it rained out there & had dust storms. All in all a great time!

This was my second time at the Deuce but my first time going to Rock & Roll Burlesque. I appreciated that they had this event during the Covid pandemic. I haven't gone out much but finally felt the need to do something and this Burlesque Show was something fun to do. The band and the singer were really good and I liked how the singer really tried to work the crowd. She had a great voice and I loved all her different outfits. The Burlesque dancers did a variety of dancing with aerial, fire and more traditional routines. I kind of wished the Burlesque dancers could have had more of a central stage area with maybe some real shadow dancers or male dancers to interact with, it would have been nice if the show would have had more to it. I understand that due to Covid restrictions that putting on a show is certainly more difficult and I applaud The Deuce providing this fun entertainment option. I will definitely go back to the Deuce in the future!!

Yum!! Best margaritas I have had in a while! Bartender sweet and accommodated my drink and ambiance was cool and vibey! Will come back!!

What an amazing experience...The food is yummy and the staff are very attentive... They had great music, good food, amazing drinks.... Fun atmosphere! GREAT FOR DATES, STUDYING, MEETING PEOPLE, GOOD FOOD, FAMILY TIME OR FRIENDS GATHERING. I cannot wait to return and try more dishes ..

This place is so much fun!!! It's not a restaurant to the sense of the word, but they do have fabulous food. Think "food-trucks " but permanent! Several little kitchen areas serving delicious food and drinks, they also have plenty of outside games to keep you occupied/entertained, the service was excellent! This place is located in the downtown area and surprisingly enough, there is plenty of parking! Hands down a fun evening!

I've been here a couple of times and always have fun. The music was kind of a buzz kill the last time I went especially for a Saturday but we still had fun. The food is pretty good, it's better than bar food. Food does take a while to get out to your table so make sure to order soon after getting there. This is a perfect place for a small or large get together.

Absolutely incredible! A must if you are in Phoenix. Everyone is super cool and awesome. Drinks and food are superb. Ambience is perfect. Stay away from Barcoa Agaveria!!

Been here a few times. I love the vibe and the sun events they host. It's good for kids during daytime Hours to play cornhole and just generally run around. Fun place to bring out of towners to listen to music and people watch!

Was in area from out of town and found this place online. Looked super cool- good spot with drinks, games and food. We came during the day- stated they were open. The place wasn't welcoming nor the staff. We sat town for a drink. The bartender wasn't directly rude but wasn't nice or pleasant to talk to. We ordered one drink, which was made well and tasted fantastic. They have a lot of garnishes to top off drinks and make muddled drinks which is a plus. Ended up leaving after first found due to the bad vibes. Gladly found another spot and had a blast!

How to explain what The Duce is and how we came to eat and drink there last night ? I'm in town for an academic medical meeting and the specialty society booked this warehouse party venue for the closing night event for 2000-2500 people. Not exactly centrally located (we took a pedal bike there and back) and quite hectic and crowded inside - we showed up and immediately had to get one lines for every step of the evening. Each drink (BTw probably the highlight of the night were those hand crafted cocktails) we ordered and attempted finger food we tried to serve ourselves resulted in the need to get on one of the many food station or bar lines. Given that the food frequently ran out and was irregularly refilled I never got a chance to try many of the food offerings and I eventually got a drink but ordered two hoping to never need to get back on the excruciatingly slow drink lines. Food was okay - heavy carbs and the cocktail menu and options were decent - depending on who was making them. Drinks were the highlight of the night IMHO. The DJ played mainly 70-90's tunes and the vibe was fun but too crowded and with too few servers and bartenders IMHO. Okay place. Probably better and easier with smaller crowds and less than 100 people would work,.....2,500 not so much.
