We were told by a friend that Roscoes on Seventh was a chill place to hang out. I don’t know that I’ve seen chicken wings that plump and meaty - and they smelled great! Not too many sports bars put a lot of energy into serving good food - and maybe that’s the advantage of getting grub at a gay bar? No matter - whether for a quick drink, rounds of birthday shots with the girlfriends, or a football playoff Sunday brunch - I am definitely a fan of Roscoe’s! I took two turns at the build your own Bloody Mary bar - one of my favorite things about Sundays brunch! Sure - I could rave about the drink - but to get one like it, you’d have to invite me and buy me one - I’d be happy to make one for you, too! Our other companion (coincidentally, a gay man) had an order of the chicken wings. Among the best hash browns I’ve ever had. But - it was so good, I resented having to share it! The eggs, bacon, sausage and toast were all well prepared and tasty - but those hash browns - WOW! Fresh, crispy and so flavorful. It was a good decision since it was a lot of food. It’s Complicated and I opted to split the breakfast plate with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns and rye toast. I was a little nervous about bar food - especially right after waking up - with only alcohol in my belly. On the most recent visit (Sunday late morning about a week ago), food was part of the game plan.
ROSCOES GAY BAR PHOENIX FULL
The drinks are consistent with a well stocked full bar, service is quick, bathroom is clean (the ladies’ room, anyway!) and they’ve done a nice job of putting together the smoking patio out back. But I’ve always been made to feel welcome, no matter who I am there with. I’ve always had a blast here! I am not a gay man.

I closed out with the bar tender, who seemed oblivious to what was going on and we left. We waited for twenty minutes, our food never came and our server never returned.

He stopped to check his phone serval times but never came by to ask if we wanted more drinks. Didn’t read our order back, didn’t ask if we needed new drinks (my beer was completely empty), didn’t thank us for ordering… he just walked away. We ordered and after he asked how we would be paying.

He was pretty aggressive and it was very obvious he was not happy about having to serve our table. After about 10 more minutes he came to our table. Seems weird that he just left without saying anything, especially giving the fact we opened a tap I asked another server at the bar if he was taking over for our server. We waited for 15 mins before going up to the bar to request service. After ordering drinks and reading the menu we noticed our server had left. This was one of my favorite bars… Loved coming here because it is the only gay «spots bar» in the valley but will NOT return after the awful service we received.
