Toso’s Bar and Restaurant

Best bar in Phoenix! Great staff, great vibes. Sheila, Shawn and Summer are the best. Always feel at home. Service is fast and awesome. The comedy club is awesome and so is the food!!!

Oh Toso’s. Great beer, great cocktails, great food. Customer service is… lacking. I called to order some food to go. I realize ordering food from a bar is hit or miss. We have ordered before and have always had a frickin delicious pizza. Nine times out of ten food is kick ass. However when I called to place a pick up order today s&!@ went down hill.
I guess they were busy for happy hour but when the lady who answered the phone told me to «hold on» and talked to some one else’s I knew pizza was not in my future. I heard them converse intensely and the fella told the lady «just hang up on them». Well shoot. I really wanted pizza. They have great pizza! I handed my husband the phone and after another few minutes wait, she came back and, upon telling her what I had heard, said «he was just kidding around». Ok… we’ll take a large pizza for carry out. «Uh, well, no large pizza dough, only small.» Wtf? Can you not put dough together into bigger and bigger pizzas? Always love the food here, but it’s a pain in the ass to get it.
In the end we had pizza and wings from another very delicious establishment. 35^th Ave and thunderbird. Napoli FTW!

Great job helping us with our event! Service was over the top, food was perfect. We were not expecting the level of quality we enjoyed for the price for sure! Highly recommend this place!

So disappointing ! Went there today to War he the Patriots game as it is the the“home of the Patriots AZ fan club… grab a high top table at the bar and got the bartenders attention after about 10 minutes ordered and Ice tea for me and my wife ordered a Coke. She quickly told me the ice tea was flavored which I appreciated so I ordered a water. They showed up 10 minutes later. We waited another 15 minutes to get a good order in. We ordered a bucket of beers (4) for $ 10 because we did not think we are going to be able to get her later so at least we would have them cold at the table when the food showed up. The beers were at the table in minutes. we ordered wings, nachos and fries. she apologized for the wait stating she was the only bartender on… there were two servers also working the room… after waiting 40 minutes the food finally hit the table the fries being the only thing that was hot. Everything else was Luke warm. We said something about it and was told what do you want me to do. We asked to speak to the manager she said the owner. She came back saying he was too busy. I told her that I would pay for the soda that we drank she said don’t bother and we left. The biggest issue for me is they really just couldn’t care less

Shout out to Erica, the bartender! My husband came into the bar last night. His army buddy who he only sees every few years was in town and they agreed to meet there.
Needless to say, the night was very enjoyable. I’m sure the stories and drinks got bigger.
Thank you for sticking around with them after your shift until I got there to pick them up and get them home safe! I know my husband would never drink and drive but you didn’t and you took your time to make sure they, and everyone else was safe.
We live on the other side of the valley, but if we are in the area I will be sure to stop in again.
Thank you Erica.

I had the fully loaded beef nachos, I will have to say thet was the best nachos I have ever ate in my life! it was a nice size.
I love that its only 5mins away, and I will be going back again very soon to check out the comedy club.

Inside Toso’s, at Crack Ups. great time with the 420 comic! Had a blast, funny guys, great food, great host, great service! Highly recommended!

Fun and friendly place that’s close to my house. I would recommend this place as a good meet spot because it’s not too loud inside

not a bad local bar … friendly people, decent food

Great comedy club
This is a nice low key comedy club and the other half is a bar that also serves food. I ordered a Toso Honey Brown beer and it was very good for the house beer.
We did not order any food but others did and it did look very yummy. I didn’t hear any complaints about it.
This is very casual come in your jeans and have a good time. Comedians are funny we really liked Jamie Anderson his jokes real hit home with kids.
My only dislike is the tables are so very close to the stage. A little more breathing room would be nice. They don’t have a huge area to work with but maybe shorter tables would be better.
Over all we all had a wonderful time and will return.

I love this place. Food sucks but drinks are cheap and strong. Much better than santizi’s!

oh man, Toso’s I really want to like you…
you’re a Patriots bar, in Arizona, and home to the New England Patriots Fan Club of Arizona (NEPFCA). The fact that you’re a dive bar that serves food normally would have sealed the deal for me.
Facilities/​Ambience:
–packed for Patriots football, the projector room was full but open only to members of the NEPFCA; lots of other sports teams represented, TV monitors of all sized turned to different games
–dark and somewhat dingy
–two smoking patios, very little furniture or coverage like an awning or umbrella
–parking lot was full, people were parking at the gas station and walking over
–I wouldn’t suggest bringing your kids here, pretty loud. it IS a bar after all.
Service:
–poor, as a result of how busy they were and how understaffed they were. I saw one bartender working for the entire bar. Maybe two waitresses. And this was for a BUSY Sunday afternoon.
–took about 20 minutes to get our drinks and appetizers ordered
–drinks took about 15 – 20 minutes to come out
–appetizers (chicken wings and a basket of fries) took about 45 minutes to come out
–I was the only person able to get my drink reordered
–glasses of water and our tab took about 15 minutes total to get processed and to our table.
Food:
–chicken wings: good quality, albeit a little on the cold side, not too much sauce.
–parmesan/​garlic fries: these stink something TERRIBLE (like dirty feet) but taste amazing. Stone cold when they arrived at our table.
Tips for navigating Toso’s:
–join the NEPFCA if you’re a Patriots fan, you get a lot more attention and better service from the bartender and waitresses. Plus they’re a welcoming group! They asked my family to come join in the fun.
–arrive early. This will ease the stress of parking, waiting for drinks or food, and selecting which TV to watch.
–reorder drinks early, about halfway through. This will ensure you don’t sit there parched for 45 minutes waiting for another drink. Order water, too.
I’ll be back, armed with the knowledge above.

Today was the third time my boyfriend and I stopped by to watch football and enjoy wings and beer. Every experience we have had here is worse than the previous.
Last time we were here we waited 45 to receive our food. While waiting we watched the waitress take our order to another table who said it wasn’t theirs, so the waitress returned the food to the kitchen, 10 minutes later she figured out which of tables the food belong to and brought us luke warm food. Oh, the waitress only had three tables.
The food is mediocre and not worth a 45 minute wait. The drinks are decently priced, but the wait staff is slow when they aren’t ignoring you.
Today’s visit was worse than that!
After seating ourselves in one of the few available tables (there were plenty of empty tables that no one bothered to clean so the next party couldn’t sit) NOT one waitress waited on our table. We watched the wait staff cater to the NEPFC group on one side of the bar while completely ignoring every other patron. Even after standing at the bar for 15 minutes I was unsuccessful at BUYING a drink. The bartender served the regulars, NEPFC and made drinks for the waitresses to serve to the NEPFC. After 35 minutes of receiving no service, or acknowledgement we left.
Even though we are New England Patriot fans we will never return to this establishment.

One of my favorite dives

Unfortunately I have to take my rating down from 4 stars to 3 on account of us going here twice and being told «We don’t have a cook so all we can do are these very limited items like chicken wings». This is supposed to be a bar and restaurant… it seems it’s only a restaurant on the weekends after 6pm. Not sure what’s going on with this place.

I’ve seen the comedians here at another (nicer) establishment so I was excited to see them again here. We went on a Friday night and guess what? No comedy! It was cancelled for 2 weeks. WTF?
Food was… eh. Prices were… eh. Smell was… ewww and drunks were everywhere at 6pm. Did I miss something? Were they giving away free beer right before i got there? At least 3 people were «stone-​faced, couldn’t walk straight» drunk!
Do yourself a favor and keep on going unless you like the smell of urine and mildew.
BTW– the second star was only for the service.

Ok, so a Wednesday night is probably not the best for a review, that being said, my first impression upon walking in was «should I be armed»? That was soon dispelled by the very friendly and quite shaggable bartender, she had a very positive attitude and obviously knew all her regulars.
Overall, clean and a good atmosphere, looking forward to watching a band/​show here.

This place has really gone UPhill since I was here last. They’ve really opened up the other side where the stage is and have bands and comedy nights. Also, behind that area is another semi-​private room with a projector and a couple couches. They’ve also gotten way more TVs in the main area and it’s looking much better. They increased the staff so there are a lot of waitresses now as well. There is also some outdoor seating for when the weather is cooler. I’ll be back again!

Came here on a Saturday night. It was clear we weren’t the normal people. 3 cute young girls walking in and everyone turned their head. We got approached 3 times before we even got a beer! It’s a great place to go on a night that you feel ugly! We didn’t stay too late we left just after 9. There seemed to be a lot of fat chicks there and people age 35 and up were the most oft he group. I will come back an stay later to see if the people get better looking and younger!
I did not make it to the side of the bar that had a band playing but when I walked by they didn’t seem to suck super bad so that was good!

Yes, I can agree it is not perfect, but at least they are trying to do something different. I didn’t eat there and since I was a designated driver I only had soda. I really enjoyed the stand up. It is a great place to see some local performers start their career.
