Yucca Tap Room 29 West Southern Avenue, Tempe, AZ 85282

"I am currently standing outside of this establishment at 1am. I have been drinking water for the past couple hours, and was the most sober one in the group. I came in, showed my ID, and was the only one not let in because I was “too intoxicated.” Yet here I am outside in the cold typing out this review. It’s not that I wasn’t let in, but the fact that I was provided an explanation when I kindly asked. Maybe it’s because I’m black, and wearing a hoodie with a bedazzled “KING” hat since it’s my birthday. Never have I thought it’d have to come to this, but why were all my white friends let in? Again, not mad I couldn’t enter 1 of many bars in Flagstaff, but because I wasn’t told why my I was deemed “too intoxicated” when I spoke to the bouncer, showed my ID, and made eye contact. I don’t carry myself like that to where I’m too drunk. It’s baffling. Maybe it’s for good reason, but definitely was quick to leave a review due to the service."

"A must-visit spot to stand within the walls of Tempe music history. The stage is great for shows and the expanded space and arcade are perfect escapes from the noise. This bar is an unassuming powerhouse. The staff are laid back, the beer is cold, and the pinball is icing on the cake. It's always a good hang."

"The wings are good! The bartender is super friendly! They expanded on the arcade games so there’s so many pinball Games! It’s a fun vibe in there!"

"Awesome dive bar vibe with several pinball machines and a few other similar type games. Brings back some nostalgia with machines like The Twilight Zone, Scooby Doo, and Jurasic Park. Bring cash to get coins to use the games, or there's an ATM available because they can not do cash back transactions at the bar. They do local music as well. There's 3 rooms full of options for game play, and it was pretty low-key for a Monday. Though I'm sure weekends can get pretty busy. There was also some sort of league board display on a rotating screen for high scores on each machine, though I didn't get any info on that, but certainly something to look into if that's of interest to you."
