A huge part of that is the bartender—she goes above and beyond every single time. She remembers faces, knows what people like to drink, and treats everyone like family, not just customers. The drinks are always made perfectly, service is fast, and the vibe is fun, comfortable, and welcoming no matter how busy it gets. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and that kind of care and heart is rare to find. Hambone is incredibly lucky to have someone who brings so much personality, kindness, and soul into this bar. If you’re looking for a spot in Mesa with great drinks, good people, and an atmosphere that keeps you coming back—this is it. Highly recommend stopping in and experiencing it for yourself. ”
“ The Ham Bone was voted "best dive bar in town" two years in a row by the new times and rightly so! Every hour and day there is specials! Tvs all over changed at request( direct tv). Pool tables with tournaments and leagues on certain days too! Juke box will play your favorite hits and karaoke on Saturday night draws a fun crowd! This is the bar to bring your group for cheap drinks and a great time! Come as you are and be sure to meet some great people! Pizza us served daily but takeout and order in OK too! Oh yeah and you can smoke in the bar, how cool is that!? What are you waiting for? :) ”
