The Lodge Sports Bar & Grill - Pinetop, Arizona

David Robinson

I really wanted to love this place. Just a good old-fashioned bar grill. Unfortunately the wings and salad just we’re not up to par. Salad was the best part of the meal, the wings were absolutely awful at best. The bartender did say they’ve had a tough time keeping cooks but I’m not convinced the problem wasn’t the recipe.

The Lodge Sports Bar and Grill in Pinetop offers a cozy, laid-back atmosphere with a rustic charm that fits perfectly with its mountain surroundings. From the moment you step in, you’re greeted by friendly staff and a welcoming environment, making it an ideal spot to relax after a day of outdoor activities.

The menu offers a solid variety of pub-style dishes, ranging from burgers to wings, pizzas, and more. Their burgers are juicy, flavorful, and generously portioned, and the wings are often highlighted for their crispiness and variety of sauce options. While the food isn't gourmet, it delivers on taste and comfort.

The bar features an impressive selection of craft beers and cocktails, appealing to those looking for local brews or something a bit more traditional. TVs placed throughout the venue make it a great spot to catch a game, and the lively energy of the place adds to the overall experience.

One slight downside is that it can get quite crowded during peak hours, and service might slow down. However, the atmosphere and quality make up for it. The Lodge Sports Bar and Grill is a solid choice for locals and visitors alike, offering a fun, casual dining experience.

These guys have the best and largest wings on the mountain. The Rock Fish Tacos are the best in AZ. Two brothers took over this bar some time ago and totally upped the food quality. Great Service. Best value for the money by far. Love the “Deep in the Green” IPA by Grand Canyon Brewery!

Great place for lunch or to hang out with friends. The food is really amazing. The fish tacos & sliders were delicious. They even let me watch them make them.

When we vacation in Pinetop we always make a point to come to the Lodge. This time did not disappoint. Evan was our bartender all 3 visits this week and was the ultimate professional. Food was great, drinks never empty. What a gem of a local watering hole this is! Looking forward to our next getaway in the mountains ?

The Lodge Sports Bar & Grill is an absolute must-visit spot in the White Mountains of Arizona, just outside of Show Low, in Pinetop-Lakeside. From the moment we stepped in, we knew we were in for a treat. The food here is far from your typical bar fare—it's exceptional.

We started with the Raspberry Chipotle Chicken, and it was a flavor explosion. The combination of tangy raspberry and smoky chipotle created a perfect balance, resulting in a dish that was both sweet and spicy. The chicken was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy. It was evident that they paid attention to every detail, and the result was simply delicious.

Another standout dish we tried was the Blue Cheese Sliders. These sliders were anything but ordinary. The perfectly cooked beef patties were topped with generous amounts of tangy blue cheese and served on soft, toasted buns. Each bite was a burst of flavor, and we couldn't get enough.

Aside from the incredible food, The Lodge offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly, attentive, and eager to ensure that every guest has a memorable experience. The live music adds to the vibrant ambiance, creating a lively and enjoyable environment.

What sets The Lodge Sports Bar & Grill apart is its undeniable hometown charm. It's the kind of place where you can walk in, sit down, and immediately feel at ease. The owners, who are established residents of Pinetop-Lakeside, have infused the establishment with their personal touch, making it a place you'll want to return to time and time again.

In conclusion, if you find yourself in the White Mountains of Arizona, make sure to visit The Lodge Sports Bar & Grill. With its exceptional food, friendly staff, live music, and cozy atmosphere, it's the perfect spot to relax, unwind, and savor a truly memorable dining experience. Don't miss out on this hidden gem!

Great food tonight! Decent menu and they have several gluten free options and the cook was very helpful and accommodating. Owner Evan is very personable and fun to visit with. Stop in, you will be glad you did.

I could say the normal things here about The Lodge, but what most people don’t mention is that this family owned establishment has been their for the community for almost 10 years now, they throw a FREE thanksgiving meal every year for anyone that shows up. That have done fund raising for fallen officers. When the mountain is hit by fires and people evacuate, they stay behind at the bar and serve the fire fighters with food and drinks when they take their breaks. They have hosted wedding receptions, Birthdays, holidays, Super Bowl with the Death wing Challenge during halftime. They put on the biggest parties year round and the biggest on New Years Eve and Halloween weekend. Sir Earl Toon from Kool & the Gang who wrote Celebration, Ladies Night and Get Down On It, even came and performed for a surprise show. And did I mention they are the only Night club on the weekends with amazing djs and a mesmerizing light and laser show. Head over to The Lodge Sport Bar and see what all the hype is about.
