Time Out Lounge

If your into the rock/​punk scene this is the place to hang. They have live bands if I recall Thursday-​Saturday which are great. And drinks are reasonably priced. Can’t go wrong!

Fun bar, well priced drinks, good times! This place has had the same owners since the 80’s, both lovely people. It’s a nice place to hang out.

I love this bar! Least expensive drinks in town, free pool before 2p and all day on Sundays, and super friendly owners! The live shows are always interesting, and the staff makes sure that everyone makes it home safely. It has an ‘everybody knows your name’ feel. If you like dive bars, darts, pinball, or pool –you’ll like this place.

I love this place. They always have great live music and well priced drinks. My friends are always around and the pool tables rule! Can’t get enough :)

The only unpleasant experience I’ve had here was that one time I got roofied, but overall I’m not mad at the bar for that. Thats what happens when you take drinks from strangers (take notes, kids) and it’s not the bars fault that happened. The staff is always awesome and they’re good at remembering people and making you feel welcome. Drinks are also well priced and you can’t beat their pool tables and juke box.

Alex provided stellar customer service in addition to making a fantastic Bloody Mary. The ambience is just what I look for in a drinking establishment. Also they have coors original on draft, which is a real special treat.

The bartender was a bitch. She was young and inattentive and spent the whole time chatting with her boyfriend at the end of the bar. He is also a jerk. My whole group left after 1 round.

Small dive bar in a strip mall. Best bar tenders to talk to, and such a laid-​back atmosphere. If you want to play pool or if you just want to sit in a corner booth with friends and listen to /​reminisce over high school music, this is the place. I have gone here with my girl friends and I have never felt uncomfortable. A great way to cap the night off, or to start it up.

Hit up Time Out for a late-​night drink with a date.
Ambience:
–strip mall dive bar
–definitely nicer inside than what appeared from the outside (no windows, heavy industrial looking door)
–quintessential dive bar with pool tables, beer paraphernalia, TVs with reruns of Seinfeld shows, jukebox, 70s décor in the bathroom
–seating available at bar (lots of space) and booths around the perimeter
Bar:
–full bar, few beers on tap (maybe 2 – 3), lots of styles of bottled beer including microbrews and a lovely pear cider
–also has munchies for sale: snack bags of all sorts of chips, sodas
–is NO LONGER a cash-​only bar, minimum $ 10 tab to use a credit card.
-$ 15.50 bought two double whiskey & cokes (strong), 1 PBR and 1 pear cider
Crowd:
–I was the only female here
–patronized by a lot of guys who looked like they were all regulars and all buddies
–everyone was playing pool
–obnoxiously bad foot odor permeated the place for like 2 whole hours
I really enjoyed my time in Time Out, no punishment here, just lots of interesting things to look at and inexpensive beers to try.

this is walking distance from our house. drinks r strong and cheap

Another local dive, though you wouldn’t know from the outside. Located in a strip mall, Time Out Lounge is a good place to start off your night. Cheap drinks and no cover, and an awesome juke box with all kinds of punk, metal, and 80s music. Multiple pool tables and a few arcades litter the inside. Minus a few stars for not being able to make me an Old Fashioned. How hard is it to have bitters?!! It’s not like I’m asking for a key lime pie martini! Other than that Time Out is a solid place, check it out!

Good spot, but can be a little hit or miss. The patrons are always a different type of people depending on the day or even time of day. It’s a shot and a beer, keep ‘yer head down kinda spot.

Its a chill low key, but diffidently cool place.

Time Out Lounge: where hipsters go to die.
You can always count on seeing all the same people here on a regular basis. This depressing little cash-​only dive bar is sometimes our last call spot when we are out and about in Tempe. Entertainment is provided by several pool tables, one dart board, and one sad little jukebox. The bartenders here are strangely high spirited and friendly considering they deal with the same drunk wankers every single night!
Thursday nights get a lil rowdy here when Borisimo spins some sweet tunes… probably Time Out’s ONLY saving grace! That and the cheap beer…

This place is totally aided by having one of the best juke boxes I have ever heard. Not a shitty MP3 player one either. An actual jukebox, where the employees change the CDs! I have listened to friend’s bands on this juke box which is kinda fun!
Nonetheless, it is a dive. It has all of the dive qualities, drunk regulars, middle aged women who are still hanging in bars and ratty pool tables. The bartenders are pretty cool, the menu is nonfunctional at most times and if someone spills a drink on you, they will usually buy you another or are going to fight you.

This is a solid Tempe dive bar. If you like pool, it is great. If you like a younger mustache/​hipster/​punker, crowd this is the place for you. The layout is great, with booths, pool tables, high tables, then a long bar. It is scummy, but an acceptable scummy. The juke box is up there with the likes of Shady’s and TT’s Roadhouse.
If the cash-​only thing is a deterrent, you don’t belong in a dive bar.
The drinks are poured right, and hey, the service may suck at times, but you are in a fucking dive bar. DIVE is what that means.
I think I may have seen a bartender do a line of coke off of the back of the toilet in the ladies restroom (the door faces the bar, and it opened just in time to see the few people in the can huddled around the toilet). I can’t say that is for sure what happened, but hey, this place is a shithole. A shithole that some will love, and other won’t understand, and more power to those that do.

I’ve been thrown out of TOL… more than once.
Despite that fact, and of course admitting, albeit reluctantly, that I most likely deserved to be thrown out those times, I can most assuredly say TOL is hardcore top notch in my book.
Great bartenders. Great amount of pool tables. Great stiff drinks. Great crowd. Great jukebox. Great location. Great floor plan.
All in all, you guessed it, just plain great. You can’t go wrong with a night here… or, ahem, a weekday afternoon…

Everytime somebody suggests we go to Time Out Lounge I want to send them to timeout… with a dunce cap on!!!
this place is gross and now haunted.
as if the location isn’t creepy enough (trashy strip mall on mill) and trust me, I am all into the dive-​bar scene, this place takes the cake when it comes to nasty atmosphere.
The lighting is awful, and the bartender was a huge bitch once. I bet this place attracts the weirdest crowd. Including ICP/​KottonmouthKing fans since it is next to Blaze, your average creeper 55+ pedophilic men, and the poser hipsters taking a load off after their 6 hour shift as the manager of urban outfitters/​american apparel.
*barf*
I’m giving it 2 stars, because they serve alcohol.

I officially dig this place.
I like Time Out because:
1. Super cheap drinks. Super. $ 7 for a pitcher of Shocktop, yay!
$ 2 beers… yay!
2. No stupid patio where I’ll be forced to hang out with my stupid smoker friends and kill my lungs. Dirty smokers must go outside to a non-​welcoming patio… muuuAHAHAHA
3. Very chill crowd. It is rather hipster-​y on the weekends, but they didn’t seem pretentious at all to me. They co-​mingled with old kooky drunks that were strewn about the bar top very well.
So yes, I love you Time Out. I really, really do.

As a bar, this place actually has the propensity to be something incredible. As it is, it’s really chill and great and I like to kick it there when I have a chance. With a few slight modifications, I could picture Time Out Lounge being transformed into my permanent hang out.
You ever seen that movie Mean Streets? I could totally see me being Harvey Keitel and Time Out Lounge being my permanent hangout spot.
I love the amount of pool tables and the dartboard and the internet jukebox. I like the whole layout of the bar. It’s very cool and most of the bartenders are really nice. One of my favorite touches is the tables that have endless amounts of various graffiti in the form of «fuck you’s» «so-​and-​so was here» and strange political points and counterpoints that it all blends together into a nonsensical collage of intoxication.
Brilliant.
The bathrooms are awesome. There are murals that have a lot going on. It’s really fantastic after you’ve had a few pitchers.
If you’re ever in this part of Tempe and want to have a couple beers and shoot pool, Time Out will do a damn good job.
