The fist time I saw this place I took one look and was like no way. So I went inside and it blew me away. One of my favorite bars. Bartenders are greeeeeaaattt. O n the people too.

Rogue Bar is an awesome dive-cum-live music venue in Scottsdale that always has something awesome going on! Although it doesn’t look like much from the outside once you’re through the front door get ready to be transported into a fun, rock and roll playground complete with sticky stage area and pool tables! My favourite feature of this whole place is actually the bar staff– they are friendly, funny and eager to help out in anyway they can. Wish I came to Arizona more!

Rogue will always have a special place in my heart. They have a lot of fun events and their choices in live music are always on point. The atmosphere is pretty divy and colorful. The bartenders are never cheap with the alcohol. The crowd is always fun and chill. This place is not for the vanilla types, but if you’re different, unique, an individual who strays from the norm you’ll be in good company at Rogue.

Rogue Bar is one of my favorite spots. Live music & drinks that are wonderfully priced makes this bar an awesome place to relax. The bartenders are great and they make great drinks! I highly recommend this bar!

The best dive bar ever. I read some other reviews — you have to go on a night where they are playing your kind of music because it varies from night to night, it might be metal it might be indie folk. The owner is the nicest dude you’ll ever meet. I never feel unsafe there. Also park around the corner in the neighborhood, it’s really not that far compared to having to park and walk blocks in downtown phoenix.

The only reason I even give this place two stars is because it’s my girlfriend’s favorite bar. Unless you like listening to Slayer all day and driving lifted Duramax diesel trucks, then this bar is not for you.

Always a good time at The Rogue bar. Come here pretty frequently where my boyfriend plays their open mic on Wednesday nights. Good vibes, cheap booze, and a very graffiti-ized bathroom. The people are always friendly and the bartenders are awesome. Would definitely recommend for a fun night out to see some music and to throw back some PBRs and brown bag shots obviously.

Being from out of state, I will admit I was a bit skeptical to check out a fetish club in Arizona… but a good friend talked us into it and you know what… we had a great time. Music was on point, drinks were poured well and the AC was cranked. Not much room for a dance floor but overall it was a fun night.

This is the best bar I’ve ever been too. You can feel the energy as soon as you get there. the drunks are drunk, the pinball is the best, and there is live music every night. It’s not always good, but it’s always an experience. If I had a tv when I first went here, I would have immediately went home and thrown it in the fucking garbage. This place is the reason I know there is magic on earth. It is impossible to be a rogue regular. You simply show up, do your thing, and see what happens. If you do it enough, someone will challenge you on it, you either hold your ground or go home. The rogue has opened my mind. I feel equipped to do anything on this earth, because I’ve dealt with rogue situations. Drunk people, Amazing music, and honing of pinball skills. I found these all on my own, at the rogue. It never would have happened anywhere else.

Been here a few times… When this place is full, it’s like a sauna in there. It’s so hot. I’m not sure how clean it is either. But for a dive bar, I guess that’s what you would expect. The music is pretty good here depending on the night or the special event. And the drink specials are ok as well. Know what you are getting into. ;)

This place has a lot of integrity… you can see it all over the walls around the bar paying their respects to the punk legends. Yes, this bar is badass!

The Rogue Bar is awesome. The owner is the best. There’s a pool table, there’s booze, there’s adorable booths for you to sit in and think about the choices you’ve made. Or whatever. Whatever you want to do. Coming from a band perspective, this is my favorite place to play in the Valley. It holds around 100 people, the sound system is awesome, the sound guys(ESPECIALLYANDY) actually give a crap about your band. Which is rare. The stage is raised, and there’s a door to load in from the side. Like, everything you could possibly ask for as a local band. Parking lot is small. My solution would be to park around the corner and not complain about having to walk for five friggin seconds. Jesus.

I came in to see the Deer Tracks play here on a Thursday. It was pretty empty, with a few regulars hanging about, but I’m sure this place has a decent crowd depending on who is there and the day of the week. The bartender was great — very friendly — and they have good prices on drinks. The sound isn’t the best but it’s a nice place to see some awesome music. The crowd was definitely in their early-mid-20’s, so I certainly felt like an old fart being the ripe age of 30. :) I would go back here, no questions.

CASHONLY. ATM available for the hefty fee you know it charges. Yeah get ready, cuz you never know what you’re gonna see when you go to see the band you know and there’s some out-of-state openers. LEGENDS have played here or DJ’d here. Psychic TV, Deadbolt, Grave Danger, Glass Heroes and loads more. I think one of the Ramones and a guy from The Damned DJ’d here. Message me if that was somewhere else or have more info. Anyway… The classic faces mural is now preserved behind plastic and off to the side and not behind the stage. The iconic piece is there for all to see, a collection of famous faces from the 70’s… Hang out with the Ramones, Lou Reed, Warhol, Iggy, Pistols, Blondie, and more. Soundboard is in the back and off the stage now, and the stage area has been opened up with a bar shift as well. You’re not here for the bathrooms. It’s a punk bar, suck it up, be glad it’s not a Turkish toilet. You’re here to see a killer show and pound some drinks. Full bar and a few entry-level semi-gourmet beers. The true punk rock is ON the bar. You’ll see.

Whatever you do stay away from this on NEWYEAR’S EVE !! :) I have never been to Rogue bar before the NYE2013 event, bad idea to go to this place for NYE, ya I know what i was thinkin ha. hey gimme and ‘em some credit, they had a pay $ 30 and from there on all penny drinks! That was a good deal, ofc they didnt have anything fancy to drink, but hey that’s a geat deal for alcohol as long as it does the job ;). oh they didnt care about the pennies either: p Well I was just disappointed with the event on NYE, I was expecting something more atleast from the pics and fb event, i thought there would be people hanging upside down lol. That’s Y i said dont go to a NYE party there.(or any big day events: P) Now that I have been there, I know what to expect and I am definitely going back to see if I can improve the rating :)

Whatever you do, try to not touch anything and drink your beer through a straw. Stickiness aside, this isn’t too bad of a place for live music and pool playing. It’s total grunge and dive to the very core. Oh, and have to pee? Just hold it. Don’t ask questions.

Ive watched this bar go through a lot of changes, some good, some bad. Ill always love«Sneaky Petes» though. Great dive bar, really nice bartenders(particularly the gal who goes between the bar and the booth).
