Pat O's Bunkhouse Saloon

Iconic bear bar in the Melrose district in Phoenix. Laid back atmosphere. No one takes themselves too seriously here which makes it a very easy place to be yourself. Staff is friendly and fun. Great place to meet other men.

Not impressed. The bar was clean and totally empty. 20minutes before ever being acknowledged. I Hollared if anyone was there. He was outside caring on a conversation with a non customer. Ordered a dirty martini at 14 bucks. Clearly he never made a dirty martini..it was pure olive juice and undrinkable. Customer #2 came in and couldn't get served either..cause bartender was outside again with some non patron. Will not be back. I'm surprised Pat allows this?

Not a great place Especially if you meet Sal and Adam. They stole $100 cash from my wallet. ***Update from 1 star to 5 stars*** The awesome bartender, Diego, confronted the thief(-eves) and got my wallet back with all my cards and IDs. Awesome guy. He also took my contact info. Just got off the phone with the owner of this establishment. He has checked the cameras, confirmed I was robbed, and has banned the two individuals responsible for the crime. He really cares about this place and wants to make it safe for all of us here in Melrose and beyond. Never thought I'd go back, but I'm headed there now!

One of staff member at the main entrance was, in my view, unnecessarily aggressive and rude. When I calmly told them I didn’t want to be treated that way, he told me to leave. I was sober and polite throughout. I’ve been supportive of this place in the past, but this experience makes me unlikely to return. I think they could benefit from customer service training to handle situations more constructively.

This was a great place to hang out on New Year 2025. Met a lot of new friends and had a swinging good time. The service for getting drinks was challenging and the layout was cramped for the size if the crowd bartenders did an amazing job

Good local bar. Patrons were friendly and having fun. Bar tenders were quick and polite. Prices were good.

Sunday fun day is where it’s at. Good atmosphere for a dive bar. Chill guys. Lots of daddies.
