This is a biker bar and while that might deter the vast majority of people from visiting, it does offer some decent music and drinks. I dropped by here while visiting Phoenix and had a fairly good time.

Worst bartender service I have ever had. Bartender walks out of back looks at me and walks back in the back doesn’t smile or ask if I would like a drink after sitting for another few minutes I yell in the back and asks if I can get a drink she tells me to wait I wait another minute Nothing that’s the last time I’ll go back

Most expensive bar I’ve been to in a very long time and my tab was only $ 7. The expensive part came from whatever a-​hole decided to steal my iPhone. Classy. While the bartender Adison was great and the music (jukebox) was super fun, I can’t get past the crappy clientele that would actually steal a phone. PS, in case you’re using my phone to read this, I know where you live: 4430 N 25th St, Phoenix AZ. Classy. Really classy.

I haven’t been here for a while, but I used to go see a band play here. It wasn’t the bar for me. There isn’t a whole lot of seating and they have a lot of live bands play, but they have to bring their own PA and sound guy. If you are looking for a place with cheap drinks, pretty good music, and a lot of people not observing personal boundaries, this is the place for you.

This is a really fun dive bar. Has a lot of great music playing all the time. Drinks are poured with a heavy hand (YAY!). Some nights you get free jello shots. Kinda has a rockabilly vibe to it.
Probably the only real negatives for some is it is cramped (not that bad), loud (the way I like it!), and the rest rooms are nasty (pretty bad, but hey, it’s a DIVE BAR. What do you expect?).
I recommend Chopper johns

This is a fun little dive bar! Nice people, good live music, and strong drinks. They have pool tables and and a digital jukebox that you can pick music on. Small outdoor patio, but it gets the job done. Parking in the back if the front is full.

OK. You seriously CANNOT get any better than this!
Came in from out of town, and wanted to hang out with my buddy. He already had plans to come here for their 5th anniversary punk show, so he sent me the web link ahead of time, and I perused it.
I love live music, and doesn’t matter what genre just as long as it sounds good. I don’t normally listen to punk on the radio, but have been to a show or two in my lifetime, and have really gotten into watching ‘em play, so decided to meet him over here.
It was super fun, and super great performances. And punk shows are really all about the performance.
A few broken glasses…
Spilled beers…
Slight body slams…
Quite honestly though, the venue was pretty «chill» at the same time; crowds and staff were really cool. …and NO COVER. Talk about giving back to the community!
Truly doesn’t get any better than this, and truly magical.

The best dive bar in Phoenix! Live music most nights of the week and NO COVER!!! Wow! Great bartenders, friendly and they know how to make your drink right. Popcorn and other bar food available. ON busy nights they have Chi-​Town dogs there. Like my facebook page
to see some of the great shows happening there.

I drive 10 miles whenever I want a beer just so that I can drink and party with the great people at this place, and it’s worth it every time. I never know what kind of crowd will be there, but I always end up having an awesome time, and the bartenders know what they’re doing, whether they have two customers or two hundred.

Its within stumbling distance of my house. Drinks are cheap. Music was great. Crowd was a great cross section of humanity.
Its a biker bar. Not the spooky, don’t bring a date here unless you’re willing to share her with 50 or so swinging dicks, type of biker bar. More like the biker bar you’d be cool taking your mom to, and then getting train wrecked with her.
We were in last weekend, and the band had a lady who was obviously a trained cellist. The bass was on a stand up stand, and she really, really could play the hell out of it like this. I play the bass, mind you not very well, but I do watch how good players play. This lady was great and played in manner I’d never seen.
Had a great time there. Would go back every weekend. Matter of fact, I might just do that.

Friend and I are still looking to run amuck in the city, get cheap drinks and flirt with the boys, last 2 bars we went to were lacking boys, seems since it was the holiday weekend no one was coming out to play!
We wanted to try one more place before calling it a night and I said ok what about a biker bar now? it was right down the street from where we were at and she said ok why not!
So we headed on down to Chopper Johns, WOW a great little dive bar, walked in and the bartender greeted us right away, we took a seat by the bar and ordered some cherry drink, let me tell you, it was cheap and strong, 2 things I love!
It was a great little crowd, am willing to come back on another night to see what the crowd is like. My friend got a little crush on the Addison the bartender, even got him in a picture with us, so Im am sure she would be down to go back with me!
Yep what a great dive bar, I will back!

My favorite hole in the wall dive bar. An all age medley of people every time we go. A must if you are a fan of ummm… Let’s say «college music». I really only go on Friday nights, but we always see some great local bands. Doesn’t seem like much of a biker bar. We are usually the only club there. Maybe 1 or 2 other bikes. Cheap drinks and fun plain and simple. Once again I’ve only been on Fridays w/​live bands there.

My local hang out spot when there nothing else decent going on in town.
Almost always have live bands playing all sorts of rock. Never really know what you will hear when you get there. The bartenders are super chill and always know what I want to drink soon as I walk in. Prices are fairly cheap for this part of Phoenix. Huge plus being I live right up the street.
Do not drink & drive in this area I must tell you cops drive up and down Indian school and 24th st. So just giving a heads up.

The drinks aren’t cheap and they have yummy draft beers to chose from, for a «dive bar» ($ 4.50 Four Peaks draft). Add to that: the music was awesome and there wasn’t a cover. Worth every penny, if you ask me!

If your looking for a fun little dive bar with great music and a great little patio then Chopper John’s is where ya need to go. You will have any kind of crowd there on any given night/​weekend.
John has owned the bar almost two years now and it’s been so much fun to stop in on the way home for a drink or two or three… or four… lol
