Prescott Valley is celebrated for its high-desert vistas and frontier spirit, but this Arizona gem also boasts a vibrant drinking and dining scene. From craft breweries pouring local ales to cozy taverns serving Southwestern fare, these spots offer perfect refueling after exploring the Granite Dells. Whether you’re after a prickly pear margarita or brisket tacos, here are our top picks for where to raise a glass and savor the flavors.
Lindo Mexico Restaurant Mexicano
$ | (928) 379-5519 | WEBSITE
Lindo Mexico Restaurant Mexicano has just about everything you could possibly want in a lively Mexican spot. You’ll spot families who stop by for weeknight dinners, colorful paintings decorating the walls everywhere, and you can even catch a slight view of the outdoor seating from the bar area or main dining room.
The daily specials also feature a wide variety of dishes, but just about everything on the menu tastes great while enjoying the fun atmosphere or after ordering a large plate of homestyle food.
Chili’s Grill & Bar
$ | (928) 775-6918 | WEBSITE
You’ll probably have to wait for a table at this casual family spot, as it’s a lunch and dinner favorite with both regulars and locals who look like they were born with a burger in hand. Thankfully, there’s a welcoming bar area where you can enjoy chips and salsa that help the wait go by faster. If you’re dining solo, it’s much easier to get a spot at the bar, where you can watch sports on the nearby TVs or look on as the staff preps orders with friendly efficiency.
The chicken enchilada soup is the signature bowl that’s loaded up with flavor and warmth, but you should definitely also order the best burgers in town and the hefty portions that come at a very reasonable price, all for around the same as fast food for a heck of a value.
Hideout Bar
$ | (928) 772-9954 | WEBSITE
Hideout Bar is perfect for catching a game with a beer in hand, or a fun night out with friends. If you want to enjoy the back patio during karaoke nights, you might have to wait a bit by the pool tables, but know the main bar area stays lively and still has a great atmosphere. The free pizza is a nice surprise when they offer it, but there’s really something for everybody, including sports fans, karaoke singers, or just people looking to socialize.
If you’re looking to take a break from all the indoor action, the outdoor patio is awesome for smoking and chatting, and the well-lit parking lot makes it feel safe when you’re heading out at night.
Jackass Bar & Grill
$ | (928) 775-2049 | WEBSITE
If the crowd at Jackass Bar & Grill is lively when you walk in, grab an ice-cold beer from the friendly bartenders like Deanna or Kim while you settle in. There aren’t really any fancy cocktails, but there are plenty of TVs for sports, as well as cheap pool games and shuffleboard. If you’re looking for a casual spot with affordable prices, this is a good place to unwind with friends after work or enjoy some morning day drinking with that tavern feel reminiscent of Midwest bars.
Gurley Street Sports Pub
$ | (928) 778-2491 | WEBSITE
Gurley Street Sports Pub is tucked away in Prescott Valley, and it’s where you should stop for a drink after a long day. You can get your beer from friendly bartenders like Sierra and Nikki, or order one of their vegetarian options—the pub has plenty of choices for those with dietary restrictions. There isn’t really a quiet corner, but there’s always music playing and games like pool and darts so you can enjoy the lively atmosphere with good company.
Antelope Lanes
$ | (928) 772-7331 | WEBSITE
There are few joys in life greater than enjoying a night out with friends, and Antelope Lanes delivers just that. You can go classic with a round of bowling on their great lanes, but we’re big fans of their tasty food options like the chicken quesadillas and amazing tater tots, and the BLTs that hit the spot after a few games.
If you want to keep the fun going (or maybe just want to feel something inside), head to the arcade or challenge your friends at the pool tables, all while enjoying their super friendly and helpful staff in their newly renovated facility.
The Prairie Patio at Wren House
$ | (602) 244-9184 | WEBSITE
While The Prairie Patio at Wren House has become a popular craft beer destination in Prescott Valley, you should still make a visit to enjoy a cold brew in its relaxed outdoor setting. You’ll likely find a mix of beer enthusiasts, families, and dogs enjoying the patio, but the friendly staff keeps things moving smoothly and gives you time to consider your ideal pour.
The beers are served fresh from the taps in the small trailer, so you can sample as many varied and top-notch brews as you’d like from their excellent selection. If choosing from dozens of craft options seems overwhelming, they also have knowledgeable recommendations for the best brews in Arizona to help you decide.
Manzanita Grille
$ | (928) 777-1879 | WEBSITE
If you’re planning to explore the granite Dells or golf courses around Prescott Valley, make a stop at Manzanita Grille to fuel up on classic American comfort food. The perfectly cooked club sandwich is their star, but we also recommend the well-seasoned fish and chicken salads that stand out on their satisfying menu.
The breakfast plates come with fantastic options like pancakes, eggs, and bacon (get the pancakes if they’re fresh off the griddle) and it’s all ideal for a morning meal before exploring the scenic views or heading out for a round of golf. But we wouldn’t blame you if you choose to enjoy it immediately at one of their welcoming tables either.
Superb Food Company
$$ | (928) 846-3722 | WEBSITE
Superb Food Company is an open-air restaurant located in Prescott Valley, so you can enjoy your burger or kale and radicchio Caesar salad with beautiful views, especially on clear evenings. The menu features consistently delicious dishes like the highly praised burger and heirloom gazpacho, often complemented by seared chicken or shrimp that pair excellently with their welcoming atmosphere.
This restaurant is totally outdoors with just attentive staff making every visit enjoyable, so make sure to check the weather forecast before you head out, unless you want to risk getting your meal (and everything else) damp.
Barefoot Bob’s Billiards
$ | (928) 759-9590 | WEBSITE
When you walk into Barefoot Bob’s Billiards, you’ll be greeted by a spacious layout that’s larger than it appears, well-stocked bars with rows of spirits and beers, and a collection of pool cues and games ready for action. The drinks themselves are generous, and there’s a fun selection of signature bloody marys that’ll simultaneously keep you refreshed and satisfy your inner competitor.
They also host occasional shows and have a cozy patio with a fire pit table if you want to make this your one-stop spot before you head out for an evening with friends.
Tony’s Too Bar and Grill
$ | (928) 759-0377 | WEBSITE
You’ll find just about every type of person at Tony’s Too Bar and Grill on a Friday night—from groups celebrating birthdays to regulars who look like they’ve been playing pool here since the place opened. Thankfully, the steak dinner, wings, and other bar dishes at Tony’s Too taste so good you won’t be able to focus on anything else, and the friendly staff means you don’t have to wait too long for your drink.
You’ll likely circle the parking lot for a few minutes, but once you’re inside, you should grab a generously poured whiskey or beer, look over the specials board, and go for the 75 cent wings or buy one get one burger. You’ll probably leave Tony’s Too full and satisfied, so the best thing to have on your itinerary afterwards is a leisurely walk home, preferably under the stars or with a flashlight in hand.
