Dirty Drummer

The Dirty Drummer isn’t just a bar, it’s a legacy. Located in the Arcadia neighborhood of Phoenix, this spot has been a staple of the city since 1975, offering the best wings, classic American bites, and a community vibe that keeps locals and visitors coming back. After a thoughtful renovation by the founder’s daughter, Dana Armstrong, The Dirty Drummer has kept its old-school soul while elevating the experience with great food, live music, and a seriously fun atmosphere.

Burgers, Wings, and Buckets

If you’re looking for comfort food done right, you have to try the food at The Dirty Drummer. The menu focuses on bar classics with a modern twist. Their burgers are juicy and flavorful and if you stop by on Tuesday, you'll find a special burger deal.

The Wings here are another standout and some of, if not the best wings in Arizona. They have a ton of flavor combinations and however you like your wings cooked, they'll make it happen. If you want my opinion, you have to go for the Grilled and Double Dipped option. This is the perfect combination of flavors with crispiness that will have you eating this wings non-stop.

Drinks Done Right

The Dirty Drummer’s full bar serves up a great selection of beers, cocktails, and rotating local brews. Whether you’re sipping on a cold draft beer or one of their signature cocktails, you’re always in good company. Their Happy Hour is especially popular and a perfect time to swing by after work.

Music, Memories, And More

What really sets The Dirty Drummer apart is the vibe. It’s a mix of live music, retro flair, and a true sense of community. From country shows on the patio to weekend brunches with a side of classic rock, it’s a place where people come together for good times and great tunes.

The interior is a nod to its history—with vintage photos, neon signs, and a jukebox that still works. It’s the kind of place that feels both familiar and fresh, whether it’s your first time visiting or your fiftieth.
