The State Bar

A great place to have arizona and local brews, bartenders are great and Friendly love to place.

Had a great night at statebar. Everyone is so friendly and beers are delicious! Look forward to visiting often!

This is probably my favorite bar downtown. I usually frequent the breweries in town but regularly visit State Bar. My only real gripe is that the cost has gone up quite a bit in the 2 years they’ve been open. Now when I go I try to make sure it’s during happy hour.
They have live music which I find much too loud for the space. I want to hang out and chat not yell at my companions.
I also wish they were dog friendly.

I stopped in on a Monday night for a quiet drink while staying the night in Flagstaff while traveling. Very laid back and attractive interior and relaxed music. Nice bar in the downtown scene and the bartender was knowledgeable and able to quickly find a beer for my taste. Definitely plan to come back. You should definitely stop in if you’re looking for a taste of the local AZ brews.

The State Bar is a great place to go to indoctrinate yourself into the wonderful world of AZ beer and wine. We were super pleased when we saw that a cider and meads from Superstition Meadery were also on the menu. We also enjoyed The Traveler Red Wine from The Grand Canyon Wine Company. The atmosphere is chill with great art on every wall for purchase. The bartender was super knowledgeable about local beer and wine and made suggestions for us to try.

This place has really gotten better and better since it opened. I get in there wvery month or 2 and look for new beers to try and there is always something i teresting on tap. Great place to try a lot of local beers without driving all over the state

I read up on this place before a day trip to Flagstaff and knew upon learning about its concept that I would have to check it out. I mean, who doesn’t love a local focus, right?
The State Bar was founded/​is owned by a lawyer who decided it’d be a great idea to start a bar that served only Arizona beer + wine. Being from Southern California and being used to the famous SD breweries, I was wondering whether the AZ breweries outside of the valley would provide the same type of quality. After a couple sips, I was sold! Even my wife, who generally does not care for beer, had an amazing time trying what I ordered hehe.
I was pleasantly surprised by the taste/​composition of the beers I tried – Mudshark Reese’s Peanut Butter Stout, Mother Road Lost Highway, Pale Ale with Grapefruit and Tower IPA. The founders of PBC were also there offering free drinks to the patrons! I was able to try the smoked porter which had a smooth yet strong mix that really went well with the chill of the winter weather. I can’t wait to introduce my friends to this place when we visit Flag next!

Very cool spot with great beer. Bbq was awesome and live music was a great addition after 6p. If you’re looking for local brews this is your spot.

Awesome bar with local beers and wines! We heard about this place from a local
Tour guide in Flagstaff. They had a great art space with local art!
I had a white wine from Grand Canyon wines that was the perfect citrus flavor on a hot day. My bf had a porter from
historic brewing company/​also local beer company that he said was amazing!

Super relaxed and very laid back, great selection of beers and staff was super cool. Looking forward to catching their open mic comedy on Tuesday nights.

I really wanted to like this place. I own a small business in AZ, and love the concept of this bar, but wow did I had a miserable time here. Our party of 6 came in tonight, waited in line at the bar, got our drinks, and proceeded to chat and have a good time, then they start an open mic comedy thing. We didn’t know it was coming, but whatever, we order more drinks and keep conversing. Mind you we are a very wild bunch, a computer geek, and an online bookseller, grabbing a drink after a city council meeting. Midway through the second act, the MC tells us to shut up or get out. We did… Get out that is. I will take my money elsewhere, and I’ll tell all my friends to do the same.

stopped in for a pit stop during a road trip. the intent was to have just a beer or two, but that notion was soon forgotten. i always seek out local craft beers while traveling so what’s a better place to go than an establishment that only serves local options? the selection was varied and some of the flavors were eclectic. rather than offering a suggestion, my advice is to sample as much as your liver can handle.
the atmosphere was casual and somewhat sophisticated. by that i mean the bar wasn’t inundated with college students returning to campus from summer break and looking to make mistakes. a stellar blues guitarist/​singer out of l.a. fed the energy and everyone was engaged in conversations.
the highlight of the night was the bar keep, cori. she was knowledgeable and friendly enough with the right amount of sass. loved her vibe! eva also made an appearance, although she wasn’t on the clock, and she was also wonderful company. other fellow travelers filled in the lulls while cori was kept busy by the other patrons.
in short, if you want to try arizona’s best offerings and listen to good blues, check out the state bar. this is my first review in spite of being a Unilocal member for years. that’s how happy i am about my visit. cori’s threats had nothing to do with it.

Well, husband and we’re excited to try this place because we love supporting AZ beer and wine. There were 2 guys setting up food at the front of the bar and they did greet us, but that was the only time someone acknowledged us. I walked up to the bar to grab a menu. We sat down at a table and for about 5 minutes of looking at the menu, the bartender never came over. Not sure if you HAVE to order at the bar, but why have tables then? We were not liking the selections, so we left without ordering anything, not that it seemed like anyone cared. What a shame since we got a great parking spot out front on the street!

What a fun place in Flagstaff!
I love concept of the State Bar. All wines, beers, and ciders are from Arizona, and the menu indicates where from. I ordered a delicious blueberry cider from Prescott. Blueberry cider! My sister ordered beer from Tempe.
The service was excellent. The bartender was friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. She brought us water for our table and made sure to card everyone, even my 60-​year-​old mother.
There weren’t tons of people inside at the time, but it had a friendly vibe. I noted everyone chatting with the bartender.

We love it here! Only AZ Beer and Wine… Um… AWESOME! The staff is only friendly and the beers are always great! We like to
Start with a flight. But I love that we are supporting a local bar with local beers! Oh and local art work for sale on the walls! Great idea for a bar!

This is a beer-​and-​wine-​only bar that serves only Arizona-​local drinks… and THAT is why we made sure this was a stop while we were in town.
It was midday on a Sunday when we were able to check the State Bar out. First: the location is right downtown — perfect. Second: the décor is rad. It’s very «old cabin, old western bar» — but clean. Third: the locals that frequent this place were great. Everyone in the bar was talking to each other. The bartender was included too. There were about 8 of us at the horseshoe-​shaped bar just talking about various beer styles, etc. Everyone was friendly and not pretentious at all.
Also, the beer selection was great and the price was right! I got a sampler, but wound up getting other beers as well. One of the regulars bought me a beer «cocktail,» too, because he insisted I should try the mix. It was fab!
Check out the mead they have from a meadery in Prescott. Mind-​blowing stuff.

Came into state bar and was greeted by Ryan. He took care of us and made us feel at home. They have a diverse tap selection of all LOCAL brews. Also only local wines! The one downside is there’s no kitchen or food but we were told they are working on getting catering certain days.

This is a pretty good bar. Probably the best in Downtown Flagstaff. The beer selection is good, the service is good, and the music is usually good. To tell you the truth, I am having trouble coming up with a useful review because I can’t remember much of my experience here. Its not that I got drunk or hungover, or anything like that (I hardly drink), but its hard to describe the pure bliss I felt the three times I visited this place. Its really a place where I can hang out and feel at home.
However, the prices of the drinks are a little too expensive for the quality.
Overall, this is a nice place, and I enjoy coming here a lot whenever I do so. Be prepared to pay a little more for drinks though.

We had a wonderful time here while vacationing in Arizona back in January. My husband and I wondered upon this place based on the great Unilocal reviews they received. We found a seat at the very busy bar and ordered a bottle of wine. All of the beers and wines are from AZ while is a really cool concept.
We struck up a conversation with the 2 gentlemen sitting beside us, one of who happened to be the owner. We explained the whole concept behind his local bar and has even had experience in wine bottling. Needless to say, this was a very cool experience. We ended up buying 2 bottles of wine to enjoy later on our trip.
The vibe was casual and fun with a live band playing jazz music. We stayed until the bar closed and left very happy. We will be returning when we make our way back to Flagstaff!

Only AZ beers and wines, great concept! When we came in on a Saturday night, it was wall to wall packed with a nice variety of different people. Our bartender was awesome, I think she mentioned she was the asst manager. Great ambience, it was dim but had lights pointing to the cool art on the wall. Everything was super clean which is a big plus.
I love the Arizona theme! I’m a native, I love my state, I’ve always wanted a place like this to make sure I catching all the local brews. I’ll make it a regular stop every time I’m in Flag.
I’d also like to mention that this bar had a perfect 5 star rating (quite a feat) until someone unfairly rated it a 3. Not being «main stream» enough shouldn’t be a reason for 3 stars. C’mon.
