Customer Reviews
Wanderin has a rating of 4.2 out of 5 based on over 317 reviews on Google
I had a very bad experience here due to racist and unprofessional behavior from the staff. I was ignored, spoken to rudely, and made to feel unwelcome, while other customers were clearly treated with more respect. This goes beyond poor service—no one should be treated this way. I do not recommend this place.
EDIT: NOW THEY CHARGE A DOLLAR FOR ANY CREDIT/DEBIT CARD TRANSACTIONS. It does not matter how small or big your bill is, they will charge you to pay. I don't agree with that business practice and usually avoid businesses that do so. I still go here, but I'm sure to bring cash. Read my original review below, but add this to it and you can decide if it's worth it. Most times it's great. Over the years, I have been here several (25x) times. It's like any good dive bar in that your experience may vary with mileage. It's a great dive bar.
Ok. The only reason I ended up here was because the Dirty Drummer couldn’t get the Bears game. Wanderin had it. So I walked the half mile to one of the best dives I’ve been to in a long time. Friendly servers. Friendly people. I’m from out of town and was treated like a local. The menu is lacking BUT the regular crew brought in ribs and salad and all the fixings free of charge for everyone in the place. Amazing hospitality, and I’m sure not to be expected every day, but super appreciated much the less. And they’re open at 0600. Very cool and fun, even if my Bears lost. Thank you.
This is the only place in Phoenix that doesn't judge you and takes you for yourself. Nice place to chill out and have a couple of drinks. The bar maid's are all friendly. My kind of place, for sure. Wanderinn and stagger out.
Favorite bar in Phoenix! Nice and open layout, lots of seating at tables and bar top. Friendly bartender and decent prices! Check it out 😊
If a tucked away, dive bar is your flavor, this is it. It is quaint with a small menagerie of animal heads on the walls and a jukebox. They make great bloody marys and the patrons all seem to keep to themselves.
Great dive bar. If you like dive bars this is a classic. If you don't then go to some overpriced corporate place. Good prices friendly people
