Reviews for The Grid: Games and Growlers in Mesa, AZ
The Grid is a fun bar to peruse with friends :) Theres plenty of different consoles, cabinets, and even boardgames to play while... you drink and enjoy the atmosphere. The themed drinks are tasty and well priced- I suggest staying on menu more than trying towork around the ingredients for a special request. Overall a great bar and friendly atmosphere! :) Read more
Husband took me on a date here. Got caught up in video games, mead, and good food. Staff was delightful and helpful. Husband is... addicted I think as he plans on going back as often as possible. It is well worth the drive to have a place that we can relax,have fun, and just enjoy the moment. Read more
Such an un-assuming spot! Came in here once a long time ago on a whim with a friend who was visiting from out of town, and we... had a blast! So many free game options. I then returned 3 years later (a few months ago) with another friend, and the layouthad change, but the atmosphere and great vibes were still there. The staff is really laid back and nice, games are still free ornearly free to play. Lots and lots of options. They do concerts, stand-up comedy nights, and more. Plus it's the best dangbuffalo cauliflower in town. Trust me, it's not soggy. They have their secret method down pact! Yummmmm!!! Read more
The place was not bad tbh, but the bathrooms were horrendous and there was a type of mildu ordor in the back rooms by the air... hockey area in general. After I bought a drink they charged me an extra 25$ and didnt say anything to me at the time. When I gothome and checked my account it was not cool to see clearly the drink I paid for and closed out my tab right away and above it a25$ charge with no explanation. Games were cool, and environment ok but added with the other stuff ehh it was fun to go out ingeneral for a friends 21st but the additions werent needed. Read more
I go to this bar often as it's down the street. It's got its highs and lows. Highs: bartenders are all absolutely awesome,... drinks are great, selections of games and consoles absolutely fantastic, tons of baord games also to play, dedicated largescreen and switch for super smash battles Lows: back room with arcades tends to have a terrible odor; legitimately so bad thispast weekend that me and a friend had to leave the bar bc it was so horrendous. Due to the culture of gaming, you get somecreeps in here. There was a guy who wouldn't leave us alone this past weekend, he was also harassing a girl there wtj herboyfriend and they ulti ately ended up leaving bc of him. Hygiene: bathrooms are scuzzy and there is just a generalickyness All in all, a good game bar to go to if you are a gamer and want to geek out, I don't recommend it for the fancymilennials going out to try and find a barcade as this is not the prototype of the new style barcade. I'll continue going backas it is local and fun and employees are great. Just hope they can clean up some of the grosness, maybe get rid of the old nonworking arcades in the back too Read more
The Grid has genuinely cemented itself into my life. I was drawn in by the concept of a barcade after Endgame (OG) had shut... down and I was finally of age to actually enjoy one. Right off the bat this place wowed me with its unabashedly geekypresentation, then kept packing punches with the bonkers game selection, the awesome staff, and the cool events they host. I?ma regular Rockband Monday patron because of the fun and the vibe. The Grid is staffed with some great people (shoutsout to Dannybehind the bar and Dillin wherever he needs to be) and generally just loaded with them too. I?ve made a bunch of friends herebecause that?s just the kind of spot it is. If anything about this bar has you curious, drop by and check it out! Read more
Fun place to go with friends and do something different. They have a wide range of things to do vs niche gaming bar. Consoles,... air hockey, pinball, board games, darts, PC, karaoke and a DJ(night we went). We enjoyed the wings and butter beer! Read more
Went for karaoke Thursday with my wife. Very non judgemental crowd and host. One of the only places I've ever seen with a... tournament style Killer Queen setup. The cover charge is almost nother and there are a lot of free homebrew games to play. Greatseeing the innovation, I hope they're able to stick around indefinitely. Read more
