Jupe’s

This place is pretty good honestly… pretty chill people… someone always wants to talk… ive been there twice… asked to borrow a lighter and ended up in conversations with the regulars or some random drunk girl til the night ended lol… pretty reasonable prices too… ps if anyone has seen a 26 yr old brunette a few tattoos white girl… who may stop there on Thursdays… tell her I’m looking for her… she was interesting and I would like to converse some more… shes very pretty too…

Cozy little dive bar. A friend of mine got there before me and told me «are you sure this place is closed down»? I had to call them to confirm that it wasn’t. When we all got there, we sat on this wooden round stool table and ordered our beers and weak fruity drinks. The bar was reletively empty at a Sunday night but you could tell there were regulars. One person in our group ordered a Grapefruit beer and some middle aged woman came up and shook his hand because she liked that beer too so you can tell that there are some regulars here.
We didn’t play pool, just talked but it was a relatively friendly, dingy little place which I respect for a dive bar.

AMAZING!!!
My fiancé is from Minnesota so we were looking for a place for the Vikings and found this place via Unilocal!!! This is the place to be if your a Vikings fan in the Easy Valley.
We started coming here I believe Week 2 of the 2014 – 2015 season and have been back just about every week since. I am from Michigan and sorry to say am I big Lions fan. I gave my bar up per our weekly switch-​off (as a true loving couple would do) to come here weekly, that’s how fun it is.
The owners Steve and Renee will remember you name and maybe your order if you tip well. Great people that provide a no frills good time.
No food other than 2 pizza choices, a true Minnesota bar, during the games they have a pot luck. Yes, you bring something and have Renee set it up in the back. You can expect all the northern favorites; chili, pickle roll-​ups, chicken wings, cheese trays, lil smokies etc.
Booze, super cheap!!(cash only, atm onsite)
Great Beer selection, lot of local and national crafts along with norms. Great choices for you mixed drinkers out there also.
If you are coming for a Football Sunday, they do have the package, but only 5 TVs. Yes, you read that correct. Place can only hold 100 people according to the sign on the wall. But 4 at least will be on the Vikings game, if you’re lucky and catch Steve in a good mood he may put one (above the jukebox) on your game (no sound). With that being said if your team is playing against the Vikings, it’s also a good time.
All around a great place with great people, so happy we found this place, we found friends for life!

Great calm vibe and INCREDIBLY INEXPENSIVE drinks! The is the best dive bar ever. Its a cash bar only but you can run tabs as there is an ATM. Bartenders are friendly and attentive, there’s pool and awesome music. Doesn’t get better than Jupes.

This bar is in walking distance from our house. It is tucked away in a mostly empty strip mall. The first few times we went it was mostly empty because we went early (between 7 and 9 pm) It tends to pick up closer to 11 or so. The bartender is great, and the drinks are cheap. They have a ton of different weird flavored vodkas, which I am generally not a fan of, but Chris has some great uses for them. We like chatting with him and getting is opinion on all the flavors. (cilantro= wetnap.)
It is a cash only bar, so keep that in mind. All in all, we like it a lot.

We go to Jupes all the time! We love this place!!! Chris and Carrie are awesome, the beer is frosty and cheap and we love that its a neighborhood bar. The trivia night (Thursday) is so fun and they have a great juke box.

Decent dive bar. Cash only. Wish they had more TVs. No food. No patio. Only 3 beers on tap (bud, bud light, miller lite).
Two dart boards and two pool tables. Golden Tee.
Minnesota Vikings bar.
1970s era carpet needs a serious cleaning. This place has a serious stank!

Stopped in for a drink after a long bike ride. Total dive bar, but patrons and staff were very friendly. I didnt have a bike lock and the patrons/​owner said i could just bring in the bike while I got smashed. I must have spent about $ 20 after being there for 2 – 3 hours. I think the beers are $ 2. Its a cash only bar, but they have an ATM in the front. I will definitely be heading there again soon.

Jupe’s is a great dive bar, we been going there for over 25 years, always get your moneys worth on your drink. The owners Steve and Renae are great people. Its not smokey anymore thanks to all the do gooders with the no smoking laws.
The bar is good for sports on the TVs also. Its dark and it is the main tenant in the strip center because of its longevity. We always fall back on Jupe’s to go to. We live in the neighbor hood so its easy to get to and from. Have seen a lot of good people come and go, your always made to feel welcome. Stop by and have a good drink. Its worth it. Its a Vikings bar by the way.

If «dive bar» were in the dictionary, it would have a picture of Jupe’s. This place feels like the middle of nowhere, in a strip mall far removed from anything noteworthy whatsoever. This appears to be the only attraction with a one-​mile radius, and something about that inspires patrons to get really really trashed.
They’ve got a kinda sorta punk rock thing going on.
They keep their liquor bottles (like Jäger) IN THE FREEZER. It’s like being at a house party! ⁴⁄₅ would come back.

Jupe’s met all the qualifications for a great dive bar: Nondescript, almost obscure location in a nondescript strip mall; early 80’s décor (such as dark wood paneling) that has not been updated; cheap drinks; asuper friendly sweetheart of a bartender and a great crowd (the kind that chat you up when you’re having a smoke outside)
I’m pretty bummed that I live so far away from here because this would totally be my hangout if I lived in that neck of the woods. I will definitely be back for a couple of beers because this is a fun place. But I won’t be getting my serious drink on here unless I get a local to take me home.
In all seriousness though, Jupe’s is one of the best Dive Bars in The Valley and definitely worth checking out.

Minnesota Vikings Bar
If you are into Dive Bars and the Minnesota Vikings this is the place you wanna be on Sunday. I first found this place a while back while on a Day Drinking Dive Bar Safari. Then later I was at another Dive telling of my visit here and the guy said they were Vikings Bar.
I stopped in recently for an early game and a pitcher and the place was standing room only. Long story short… the beer flowed, the crowd cheered, the Vikings won, women sang the Vikings Fight Song, Viking War Horns sounded… place was nuts…

Friend told me she was going stir crazy, just moved her from Colorado and wanted to get out of her 4 walls and wanted to shoot some pool, me not being a pool shark had no idea where to go, but knew someone at work who would, he told me to check out Jupes, so I told her come Friday night we are hitting Jupes,
What a great little neighborhood find we found, Jupes is like Cheers for our hood, it’s a nice little dive bar, which I liked, had 2 pool tables, friendly bartenders and customers were nice too, didn’t seem to mind the 2 new chicks.
We played a couple of games, and then decided it was time to go run amuck, so off we went!
I can say I will be back to Jupes, liked the feel of the place!

I was a bartender at Jupes off and on for 20 years! Love the owners, they are my family! Never had a better job or time in my life, ice cold beer, frozen glasses, great clientele. You can shoot pool, throw darts, play the ass kickin jukebox or just sit and get tore up with the regulars! The bar is kept very dark so let your eyes adjust when you walk in and if you are a Minnesota Vikings fan… this place is for you!!!

My favorite bar in the 480. You can’t beat the price of this place. Great service and a must see if you love dive bars.

If you are looking for dive bar welcome to the deep end! Jupes is a step into the Minnesota/​North Dakota backroads less the gunracks and mudboggin.
Jupe’s is a great place for a cold beer or a stiff drink. Tap is limited to Bud, Bud light, and Miller light. The mini fridge has a good selection of jelloshots and the bar is otherwise well stocked.
Come on down and get you drink on.

Great little Dive Bar with a great cast of patrons. The weekend bartender is amazingly funny and cute. Good drinks and cold beer

This is a Five Star Dive Bar. Awesome, chances are you’ll be outnumbered by all the local croonies in this hood. Bring a pair of fake Billy Bob teeth and you’ll fit right in.

i spent all of last summer in this bar. yeah, it’s in mesa. yeah, you can… oops, could smoke there, which was my friends were in love with it.
it’s small, a dive bar complete with white trash/​cowboy patrons and bar flys and kick ass juke box. it has darts and pool tables and cheap drinks.
it’s got a palo verde-​esqu ambiance, but without the too-​punk-​rock-​for-​you attitude. it’s a nice escape from the tempe scene to be honest, a local dive where no one cares about your tattoos, your drunken antics or that you’re dancing to david bowie because, well, he’s invited you to.
«Let’s Dance!»
* editor’s note
When I say «no one cares about your tattoos,» i don’t mean in the sense that you won’t get dirty looks for them or judged by them. i meant this isn’t the kind of dive where a pin up girl or koi fish is a requisite for coolness. it’s just an honest, mesa dive and you don’t get shit for street cred so leave the ‘tude at home. or go to Palo
