Yucca Tap Room - Tempe, Arizona

As someone who dates a musician in the local band scene, I love when his band gets booked here. Everyone always has the best time! On other notes, the carnitas tacos were amazing as always, a little on the greasy side but unfortunately we noticed prices have gone up and we went elsewhere for additional food after the show. Otherwise this place is amazing for a very wide variety of drinks. The bartender in the arcade section is always the nicest and the special drinks are delicious! If you want a spot to play pool, watch a show, grab a drink, a bite and play some good ol' pinball THIS is the spot. Always looking forward to my next visit. Thank you! ?

This is absolutely my favorite place to see punk shows. The staff is always friendly. Always a place to park. Bonus is the arcade with pinball machines.

Fun bar, with an awesome pinball arcade and restaurant attached. Delicious food and fair prices and a great selection of smaller brews. Fun shows, pretty friendly staff overall. Small issues with a couple of people and very tiny outdoor smoking area.

Ok, the food, BOMB. Highly recommend the carnitas tacos (made by a queer owned business). The beer was cheap and cold. Atmosphere was on point for the type of dive bar I was looking for! And as a bonus we got to play pinball from a woman owned business. Date night perfection!

One of the worst experiences I've ever had at a bar. Because Yucca is set up with a couple of different rooms, there is some separation between the tap room, show room and pinball room. However, this is no excuse for the staff to be rude and belligerent. I had been moving freely between the various rooms all afternoon, and after playing a few pinball games, found myself waiting for a drink in the pinball Tiki room. After getting my drink and going back to meet my friends in the tap room, as I had done multiple times before, I was told I could not move between rooms with a drink and had to pay a cover charge to enter the exact same room I had been in multiple times. Staff were rude and condescending that I didn't know about this because it was "all over our social media." I do not use social media and had been allowed to move between rooms all day, so this was unexpected. Staff member asked "what the EXPLETIVE I was doing when I was trying to find my friends, and didn't even try to understand that I was confused why I couldn't enter a room I had entered multiple times today. I had not been to Yucca in nearly a decade, and now I understand why.

Great dive bar; catch some excellent live local music here! I also love their Monday night open mic ? Pinball arcade is a nice bonus

Went to the Yucca tap room on a first date with a geezer I met on Bumble. Atmosphere at Yucca was chill and inviting. Played a couple of pinball games and smoked some BritishFags on the patio. Unfortunately, my date is addicted to gambling and spent the evening and all his funds on scratch offs, you can purchase at the bar, he didn’t win anything and spent all his cash! However, he did throw down the credit card at the end of the night to pay for my 9 coor’s lights (I can knock them back). I think my heavy consuming coupled with my double D’s scared him off, which is no skin off my back! We went our separate ways that night, but I returned to Yucca at 6am, sipping on a bloody while hunting for a husband, who can tame these wild ovaries ? Bar service was great both times I was there. Friendly and attentive, unlike one bloke I had my eye on at the end of the bar!

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.
