Bikini Lounge

Nothing is better than a bar that is quiet on a Saturday night. Awesome little dive bar in a pretty crap neighborhood that can only offer this kinda charm. Pretty cheap. I enjoyed the mystery shots, whatever the hell they were.

Total, total dive! Loved it! Friendly service, cheap drinks and diverse crowd. If you’re looking for a dive to hang out for a few and have some cheap drinks, this is the place. Cool tiki vibe and dark to get lost in. The do have a pool table in the back if you can slip in between the locals playing!

They only get business because there’s no closer bar to the Trunk Space. The lady that’s always there is really rude, skimps me on vodka in my vodka+cranberries, and last time I was there she stole money from me!!! Literally! Bought a $ 4 drink, gave her a $ 10 (after she angrily repeated the price to me in a crowded loud room) and didn’t give me my change back. Tried to get her attention but didn’t want to make a scene. Never going back.

Best little dive bar in Phoenix! Cheap drinks, quick & friendly service, cool diverse crowd… yes please!

Why can’t I give them 10 stars?!? Seriously my go to spot in Downtown Phoenix. Family owned & personal as ever! They even remembered my birthday. You’ll find me here every Tuesday for the funky mutant dance music night with DJENTRIFICATION!!! He puts it down & David & Wes serve you quick and the best! 4 $ gin n tonic man can’t complain. I love Bikini, check it out won’t be disappointed

This place looks cool from the outside, but it’s basically a dump, and a little scary. Drink was $ 5 for a well, and it tasted seriously watered down. One and done.

A great little bar with cheap drinks and quick service. I’m often at the Trunk Space, which is just 2 doors away. We sneak over between sets for a brew or two.
Bikini Lounge is cash only, so come prepared or face the unnerving punishment of ATM fees.
It can get loud and crowded; sometimes it takes a tight huddle and some shouting to carry a conversation.
Overall, Bikini doesn’t promise anything fancy. It’s a workhorse of a bar, pumping out reasonably priced drinks at admirable speed. I’ve never left disappointed.

I’d like to give this place 1.5 stars but I can’t do that, so I’ll be nice and give it 2. Clearly, this was not the place for me. People have told me how much they love Bikini Lounge, so I was like okay let’s check it out! Um no! The smell of rancid smoke hits you the moment you walk in! And its nothing but a glorified hallway. They also only accept cash (granted there’s an ATM, but I try not to mess with fees). What bar ONLY accepts cash? Bikini Lounge. This isn’t the place for me, and I’m not the client for them. Other people obviously like it here, cause it’s still in business, but as for me, I won’t be going back. Oh and the parking is horrendous. That is all.

I love it here.
It is so chill to just hang out.
Normally I would drink whiskey. Only whiskey.

A really solid dive bar. It’s dark and cool. The door stays open to let in some air. The patrons are diverse (like, some own homes and some own. shopping carts.) The bartenders were very laid back and friendly. Prices for drinks and beer are pretty much un-​beatable, and it is CASH ONLY!

Pretty legit starter bar. Fantastic music, lots of hipsters drinking terrible beer. But they have great beers for people who aren’t hipsters. Kind of small, but super packed, cheap drinks, pretty girls and the most handsome man alive when I visit

Is it pathetic of me to admit that I absolutely love this place? I visit a couple times a week to play pool, (I suck) or drink. Or play pool and drink. Or play pool, listen to music and drink. And although I am terrified of the little bartender lady, I always hope it’s her who’s there when I go because she knows what I want and how I want it. Well, I live down the rode so I’m one of those losers that rides my bike. I love the atmosphere, and I love the people that come in. This is my happy place.

Beer is pretty cheap. Got a mini pitcher for 3.50 plus a buck tip. So any cheaper beer would require you to go to an actual store like Frys or Walmart.
Other than that. The place sucked. No pretty women for my single friend to enjoy. Just kind of a lame place. Overall don’t waste you time downtown Phoenix on a saturday night. They whole area was dead.

Bikini is a nice little cash only dive bar with a long history. The music is usually too loud to have a decent conversation, there is only one pool table and most the time I’ve been it’s pretty packed.
If you’re looking for inexpensive drinks and a very interesting mix of patrons give them a visit.

It’s a Phoenix institution. It’s one of the last of the great and genuine American dive bars. I would put it next to Archie’s in Chicago in that category. The cocktails are cheap. The ambiance is dark, red, vintage, and brooding, in the best way. This is an old school tiki bar, one of the oldest operating tiki bars in the country, from what I understand.
In the afternoon and early evening this is a genuine dive bar, with the Moe’s-esque clientele to match. Sometime around 7:30 it becomes a hipster bar (though you can still find a one armed pool hustler waiting for a game, if that’s what you’re into).
If you like Pulp Fiction, you have to come here. If you don’t, well, you aren’t cool, and you wouldn’t like it, so, ya know, step off. You’ve lost you’re LA privileges.

Ugh. Really? 4 stars? I’ve wanted to come here a long time… now I don’t really want to come back for a long time. I wouldn’t have a problem with this place if it were cheap, but I got their mai tai (out of a bucket) and it cost 6 $. I can go to bitter and twisted and get a handcrafted cocktail for 6 $ on happy hour (not like you can compare the bars, but that’s the point). Further, my friend and I’s drinks had barely any alcohol in it (you could see when looking at the jug’o’mai tai that most of the alcohol had separated to the top… not cool). Plus cash only? ugh. I can’t see myself coming back here anytime soon.

I’m a big tiki culture fan. Walking in side I got stoked the place looks like a tiki bar. I approached the bar asked for my favorite tiki drink the «painkiller» the bar keep didn’t know what it was. I asked for a drink menu. No drink menu. I asked if he could make a tiki drink. His reply was baffling «we’re a dive bar bro» ok. So basically it’s a tiki bar that serves beer. Weird right. If you have the theme why not make the drinks? Just saying.

I desperately miss this place. I used to live right up the road from this dank, dismal, wonderful establishment but moved to Cleveland and just cannot find anything else that compares.
I never saw more than one person working there, that one person being a short woman with few teeth and a hoarse voice from too many years of chain smoking unfiltered cigarettes. She was never what I would call friendly but she poured a hell of a cocktail and I never paid more than $ 5 for a drink.
Free pool on Sundays and Mondays and a jukebox that holds every song you could ever want to hear. Live music several nights a week. With Trunk Space being right next door there is a seemingly never ending parade of hipster scum but that makes for the BEST people watching.
The entire building is as big as a 3 car garage and it probably hasn’t been cleaned since the start of the millennium but really who cares. You aren’t there to rub your naked body on any surface (hopefully) so I mean, don’t stick your fingers in your mouth and hover when you pee and you’ll survive the night not having contracted Hep C. If you were looking for clean and classy then you’re on the wrong side of 7^th ave.
The beer is cold, prices are low, service is prompt. There will never be any dive bar that compares.

Great place to chill and drink some brews with friends!
The people who work there were great!
They have good music and great atmosphere.
Also they have a pool table! Which is a plus in my behalf. Definitely will come here again!

It’s a 50 year old dive bar. I have to say for being that old it’s pretty clean. If your looking for somewhere downtown to have a drink go check it out. I thought it was closed when we 1^st got there so don’t be fooled. The bartenders been there 30 years. You can shoot pool for free.
