Cute little neighborhood restaurant. The food is pretty traditional, with items like steak, sandwiches and pasta on the menu. The prices are very reasonable too, which makes this restaurant a good choice for those nights when you want a homecooked meal without having to cook it yourself! I noticed that the staff seemed to know the names of quite a few diners. It seemed like this would be a place filled with regulars, but that proved it to me. And the staff is very warm and friendly, so I'm sure they make their regulars feel as if they're coming over to a friend's house for dinner, rather than a restaurant.

Stopped in here for lunch. I found out that this place has been here many years, and run by the same folks. A cozy sports bar with an inviting menu. I immediately went for the Cobb Salad (although there were many other great looking options). The Cobb salad was made with the ingredients I'd been hoping to see on it. For example - avocado, bacon, eggs, blue cheese, etc. They had chicken pieces on it. I guess if I had any complaint if may be that those chicken cubes where not hot and juicy. But otherwise entirely acceptable with what was provided. I had the chili as a side for a slightly higher price. The chili was VERY good! And an unsweetened raspberry tea. Also good. Overall an enjoyable lunch experience.

Thursday through Saturday karaoke is always a great time! Drinks are a decent price and it's never too crowded. Saturday nights are obviously the busiest and can be a lot of fun! Open to anyone from the tone deaf to the next winner of American idol. Service can be a bit lagged but that's not why we come here.

I have gone to 92nd street a handful of times. The one thing I would tell everyone, to go in on Sundays when Eric is working! He is the best bartender!!!! Very attentive, talkative, and makes awesome drinks! This bar probably has some of the best food I have ever had a bar/restaurant! Everything I have gotten, has been really delicious!

Met a friend for some snacks. Happy hour menu was sticky (please clean) but the food was so yummy. We had the double dipped buffalo wings and a sample platter. Buffalo wings were served hot, fresh and a crunchy. The sauce was tangy, and spiciness was just the right! A definite winner on the menu! Next we ordered the sample platter which had a bit little of everything (potato skins, mozzarella sticks, wings, and zucchini) which were served hot and was full of flavor. Our server was very friendly also and she left us alone to enjoy our food and conversation. Water was kept full and appreciated. We will be back!

Worse than one star. One bar tender called my friend a cunt which was completely uncalled for. After four months of avoiding this bar my boyfriend and I gave it a second chance. Except I was refused service for my yelp review. I'm sorry, apparently this bar doesn't respect my rights, freedom of speech. I refuse to take my yelp review down when unfortunately the events explained in my review actually happened at that bar. No disciplinary action taken on a bartender who calls their customers a cunt but I am refused service for having a voice. Seems like an ass backwards system to me. Needless to say I will never go to this bar again. Congratulations 92nd st, you lost some really great customers.

OH MY MY where do I start???? I'll start with the bartender TOMMI called me a "Cunt" and a "Stupid fuckin bitch" in front of a bar full of people, then kicked me out!! All because she DOESNT KNOW HOW TO MAKE A MOSCOW MULE. Yup that happened. It was 10pm when myself & 2 other people came there and ordered a Moscow Mule, she attempted to make them but served us vodka soda w/ a lime. There was NO GINGER BEER in it. Clearly a Moscow Mule is GINGER BEER, vodka & lime juice. No mint! No soda water! So we returned the drinks (FULL) and said "AGAIN there is NO GINGER BEER in these" (we were there last Thurs & she tried to do the same thing to all of us, then charge me Moscow Mule prices, I said no I'm paying vodka/soda prices) I called a cab and we went outside to wait. The next thing I know TOMMI comes outside and starts yelling at me because, we were talking about how she doesn't know how to make the drink. She calls me a "cunt, a stupid fucking bitch, tells me the ginger beer gun must be out" and kicks me out. CLEARLY GINGER BEER NEVER COMES OUT OF A GUN. Ginger Ale does. On a side not I placed a phone call to 92nd St prior to going there last night because of what happened last Thurs night, asking if they had ginger beer now, I was told yes! So we went there only to get Moscow Mules. To our total disappointment and HORRIBLY UNPROFESSIONAL service we left. We went to Chop & Wok and had many great tasting, well made Moscow Mules!!!! I would NEVER EVER recommend this place! As to TOMMI, you need to really think about the words that come out of your mouth at the place of business you work at. #Classy Oh the unprofessionalism doesn't stop there, come to find out after we left a few of my friends went there (she knew we were friends) and she continued to talk shit about me and brag about kicking me out!!!! WOW!!!!!!

Had a great time last night! Great staff and good drinks. Tommi the bartender was awesome! Karaoke was entertaining, I can't sing. .. but neither could most... lots of good laughs!
This place is a great place to come for a drink. But if you're interested in getting anything off the menu, please spare yourself the disappointment. Food- zero stars. (It's hard to burn something and make it slimy at the same time) Service- zero stars (My waiter just let a drop of sweat on my leg) Atmosphere- one star (your neighborhood hole in the wall) oh and they forgot to bring my side of bacon .

This bar has every aspect of a dive bar that you love. Karaoke Wednesday through Sunday, the best staff ever, strong drinks, great food. For those looking for a bar family this is the place to go. Anyone who says otherwise is usually some drunk asshole who got kicked out. Join us, love us.

Fun, corner bar with friendly staff and Karaoke Weds - Sat. The locals are welcoming and fun to talk to there is a pretty wide song selection for Karaoke. DJs are easy to talk to, and you don't get that stuck up vibe that a lot of Karaoke bars put out.

decent neighborhood place, lots of TV's to watch sports. We went in on a slow night to grab some food and drinks. The drinks were great, but the food came out really slow, even though there were not many people in the place. Fish tacos were plentiful, but I have to say, not so impressed with the wings. I was told they were double dipped to make them extra crispy. Fine, but they were overcooked to the point of being dried up. The service was pretty good, even though she seemed to disappear at times, and we had to wait to flag her down for service. Another person behind the bar, or wiat staff might have helped this. Worth another shot to see how I fare next time.

This place is a shit hole with incompetent and the rudest bartenders I've experienced. No draft beers? Recent unprofessional behaviors by the bartenders has confirmed that I will not be a patron again. I wanted to give no stars but the system wouldn't allow.

The 92nd Street Cafe is a very nice place. I give it 5-stars because I go there whenever I want a Monte Cristo sandwiich. I've had other menu items as well and they are also well prepared and a pleasure. However, their Monte Cristo is why I mostly visit. They have some seating outside that's quiet and nice during the spring and fall. Definitely an option for a nice afternoon meal.

These guys are awesome if you treat them with respect, because they are busy and deal with a lot, as long as you treat the bartenders with respect they will reciprocate.. I left a bad review before and I regret it every day I come back... Just act like you wanna be treated and the bartenders will be the same way.
Food is great. I don't understand why it has so many bad reviews ? The appeal of the restaurant in the inside is a little drab and outdated, but besides that great food. I'd rather the food be amazing then a fancy looking place and shitty food

Gross. I just moved to the neighborhood, but knew of this place for 20 years. I just thought I'd get some takeout and give it a shot since my family was out of town. I mean seriously. I'm not particular. But I just threw out my entire entree after one bite. It's disgusting. I also got wings which were less than spectacular, but passable as wings. But dear lord, I got a sampler to see what they had cooking. ribs, shrimp and chicken. all of it: d-i-s-g-u-s-t-i-n-g.

I had to change my review. After going there repeatedly, I came to realize this is an overpriced dive bar that over serves people constantly. Even for Scottsdale, the prices are ridiculous. What finally pushed me over the edge was getting a tab for $6.50 for salsa and chips. That's 1/3 more than 90% of most places in the valley. I've seen the owner a couple of times and he's a COMPLETE jerk, whenever he's around. The best that could happen is this place goes out of business

Been going here off and on for a few months. Always during happy hour. (prices are the best) Always friendly staff, very good service. Food is very good. (we just order the appetizers) Nice selection. Hoping to try the Friday fish fry, I have heard very good things about that.

Still love the 92nd street cafe but was very disappointed when I went in last Friday, expecting to see Carmit behind the bar and she wasn't there, but instead waiting tables. Why take the bartender who makes the most technical and complex drinks so very expertly and sideline her?? No offense to her replacement, she's extremely polite but she's not adept at making drinks!! Hoping to see Carmit either reinstated or possibly picking up Sunday's, that'll give me a reason to go on Sunday! Also finally met Tomi, if you're ever in on a Tuesday or Saturday, she is so amazing and funny, the perfect complement to Sue, who as I said before, is complete perfection!! Come on 92nd, don't let us regulars down, #bringbackCarmit

Stop by early afternoon on a Saturday, walked around looking for a host/hostess, I was not acknowledge at all, the place looks dirty and smells of cigarette smoke, although there was no one smoking. I was afraid to take an available seat and not be served or totally ignored. So I left I went to another area restaurant that is a delight.

Terrible service. 1/17/15 my friends and I walked in around lunch time to have a quick beer. Upon seating, we waited 10 minutes before we had to flag down a waiter to put in an order for drinks. After ordering, 10 more minutes elapsed before our waiter returned to see if we needed anything else ... which we stated we were still waiting for our drinks. 10 minutes later he returned to let us know that a beer we ordered was out. (Which was listed on a giant chalkboard at the bar as a daily special) ... at which point we walked out. They showed total disregard for efficient service ... avoid if possible.

Not sure why all the bad reviews? We decided to eat here because it was next to the Glow Putt golf place and we were hungry. We sat outside on the small patio area and enjoyed the beautiful evening. Our waiter was excellent; very professional, personable and service was quick. Our group order the strawberry salad, the Chinese salad and french onion soup with garlic bread. They all tasted GREAT! Salads were fresh and presented really nicely. Soups were delicious and so was the garlic bread. Prices were totally affordable and they had a pretty good sized menu, not just "bar food". We would definitely eat here again. The majority of the bad reviews seems to be from unhappy bar patrons, but as far as food quality, price, and service....no complaints here!

Came here for a late lunch. I had the mushroom burger with a veggie patty substituted. It was on par with most other veggie patties at restaurants, dry with little taste. The veggies on it were really good. I can't fault 92nd for what the trend is amongst most restaurants. My friend's burger, she said, was overcooked and burned. She asked for medium well. She has a tendency to not say anything at restaurants, so if the employees are reading this, no worries. You could not have known. I might be back for the karaoke and pool table, since there was a cool vibe. I won't be back for the food. The service was great! They were attentive, sweet, and seemed to really care about how we were doing. Again, I am sure this place has a cool bar/ local hang-out feel later at night.

This place was hands down the worst restaurant I have ever been to. The service took forever, I don't think we have still got our menus and water...when you go to the bathroom, there is no soap to wash the hands, what a joke. Now to the review that everyone cares about, the food. Well I would rather have eaten the menu, I got the "famous" guac burger, and the bun was smashed, the lettuce was shriveled, and the burger patty, my goodness, I have never eaten a worse piece of meat. Zero flavor and it tasted like it had been just taken out of the freezer and thrown on the grill. I recommend if you're thinking about trying this place, go across the street to the McDonalds, you will have a much better experience.

My friends are I were in again last Saturday and as always had a great time! Tommi and Sue are the best bartenders they are so funny and pour great drinks. We do like to wait until later in the night to come though otherwise you have to hear this old couple Pam and Erny sing the same slow and boring songs every week. We like the new younger karaoke host he plays much better music.

If I could give negative stars I would. I came in with my dad to watch a March Madness game. First, they told us it was impossible to change a TV? (No one else was watching it) The bartender was absolutely rude. Got super annoyed at my dad for asking for a glass for his beer. She gave me the wrong drink twice and got mad at ME for it. Eye rolls, shit talking, bad attitude. Honestly the worst establishment I've ever been at in a long time. The best part is they confronted me about my review. The nicer bartender was fine, but the rude one- watch out.

We tried the 92nd Street Cafe tonight because being from out of town we didn't want to go to a chain restaurant for a meal we could have had at home, but after the experience tonight I concede we should have gone to any national chain restaurant instead. Both my husband's meal and mine were basically inedible, but the staff appeared to be unconcerned because at no point were we asked how the meal was or why we ate only a small portion of it before pushing it aside. Our server never took an interest in our table, a second round of drinks took forever to materialize, despite the restaurant being far from full of patrons. I am happy to say this will be an adventure in dining I will never again repeat nor would I recommend anyone else wasting their hard earned cash here.

No stars actually. Ordered a burger. Waited half hour. Server brought a cheeseburger and had to send it back. 9:45 p.m. Few people eating. Most in the bar. Waited another 15 minutes and gave up. 9 years eating here. Never saw such lackluster service. They couldn't care less about me or my business. Goodbye 92nd St.

The best thing about 92nd is the staff. This is my neighborhood bar and the staff has always been so nice and cheerful when I come in. There are other establishments to visit, but why? It has everything I need. Great food, fair prices and that amazing Staff again. It's clean, well managed and they treat everyone as a new friend. Anyone I've brought here has said the same thing. "I love this Bar!"

This place is awesome ! I always go during football season originally being from WI to watch the packer games ! There are bears fans there as well and they are all good sports so it's fun to joke around about the rivalry. Food is great, they even have a Friday fish fry which if your from the Midwest you will enjoy. The drinks are a great price as well. The owner Mike is a really nice guy and I have got to meet him! I will continue to go back especially during football season !

Not bad for bar food. Had the patty melt with turkey. They did a good job with it. But the one thing that was horrible was the service. We saw our waitress once maybe twice. After that, nothing.

This place is okay. We had the steak sandwich, gyro, shrimp cocktail and cheesecake. Steak sandwich was tough (cooked medium) and on bread that got super soggy. They need to use harder rolls not soft sandwich rolls. Gyro was okay, pita a little tough, and cucumber sauce was oddly a little sweet. Shrimp cocktail was good, just overpriced for 5 shrimp. Cheesecake was tasty. All in all a decent place to eat, just not mind-blowing.

My Tuna Melt was excellent as was the accompanying coleslaw. The New England Clam chowder left much to be desired.

Overall my experience was great, but not because of the waitresses and drinks we had but because I had fun with the people I was with. We went there on a wednesday night, so we knew it would be dead. The music was rap/hip-hop all night (not too loud though, we could here each others fine). There is about 5 TV screens surrounding the bar, all with different channels on (news, sports...). The waitress was pleasant. I had bought a yelp deal $10 for $20. The waitress first took off $10 of the bill and I had to explain to her that I had already paid $10 to yelp and she should take off $20 (like it says on the voucher). It took her a while to get it. Like I said, of you are with good friends, just looking for a place to grab a drink, and you already in the area, then you'll be fine. After all it's the people you are with that will make your night!

We found this place on Yelp searching for a great local breakfast joint. We wanted something different than your classic "Dennys" or extremely packed 2 hour wait breakfast spot...so this was perfect. Our server...I forget her name but she was ripped! had some great suggestions for us. I ended up getting the Raisin bread french toast (which was fantastic!) and my friends enjoyed a couple of skillets. Good food, good times! Also lots of TV's around so you can catch the game while eating which was definitely a plus for my boyfriend haha We'll be going back for sure now that we found this spot. Thanks Yelp!

First time here. The sever is extremely unprofessional and didn't greet us. We sat in the upper area and ordered 2 burgers. I had the BBQ and she had the guacamole one. The burgers were extremely tasteless and it was over cooked. The French fries seemed to be the frozen ones that I can make at home. The server never refilled and I had to walk up to the bar to finally get one. Sadly my stomach actually hurts after eating. The 20 for 10 is nice, but they need that to even get customers I bet. I would not recommend this place at all

Kirsten D.
Let me start off by saying that the ONLY reason we went here was to be in a dive bar that wasn't too far from home. I wanted a divey place, without the North Scottsdale douche feel. Got here super early, like at 7:00 and left sometime after midnight. The waitress was THE BOMB!!! She was super on top of everything. Water never got low, drinks never got low, she was friendly without being annoying. Couldn't have asked for better service. Did order some appetizers, and they were all typical bar food. Nothing really stood out as great, but when you're drinking, everything tastes pretty good. Crowd was a mix of 20 something's to 60 something's. On a scale from Ed Hardy to Affliction, I'd rate it in the middle as there were both! lol But all in all, it was a good time. Listening to the wannabe American Idol contestants do karaoke was the highlight. And even got the chance to see a few athletes. All in all, I'd go back for dive bar night. It was a nice change of pace!

I've lived about 2 minutes away from this place for the last 5 years and never tried it. I found a coupon of buy one, get one free so we thought we would try it before the kids' baseball game last night. Now I know why I never bothered. It is a dive bar for sure and it's definitely a good place to go if you don't like the trendy places. I would probably go back just for drinks and maybe an appetizer. When we arrived, we were greeted by a server. As I set my coupon on the table (not sure if he needed to see it right away), I ordered my drink and showed him the coupon. HIs response was a smart- assed "yeah, I can see it". Strike one. I work in a restaurant and I will hold you to a standard. My son ordered the kids sliders with only cheese and ketchup, the other kid ordered kids' strips, I ordered the meatloaf and my husband ordered the bolognese dish and asked for a salad. We asked for an appetizer of wings. There was a style of ordering them that I questioned and the server's response was another smart ass reply that they are exactly how they sound. Okay, well every place is different and I wanted to know WTF made this place so freaking special with their stupid wings. Strike two. Then at this point there was a server change, the next guy was really nice. My son's sliders came out about 15 minutes before anything else. And they had onions on them, not how he ordered it. Strike three. Honestly, I should have just walked out at this point. My husband never got his salad and the wings were okay. I would have had better wings elsewhere. Strike four. We had to be at the kids' field for baseball at 6:15 and it was already 5:50 before we got anything. My meatloaf was supposed to come with mashed potatoes and they gave me some nasty rice. I asked for the potatoes. He came back 10 minutes later to say they were working on the potatoes and I told him that we had to leave and I needed a box. My husband just left with the kids. My meatloaf was okay, it had good flavor but the consistency of dog food. Now I wish I had a dog so I could just give the leftovers to him. The server apologized for everything and stated that he walked in and everything was thrown on him, which I could believe because the other guy was such an ass. When he took the value for our coupon off, they took off the cheapest meal which was my son's $6 chicken fingers! The coupon had a value up to $8 or $10. So why choose the cheapest one when tax added another $5 and I had a savings then of $1. Strike 5,042. We paid $55 for shitty food and drinks. I also want to add that the guy who brought our food was also really nice. So, this place gets a star for their servers, otherwise, if I could score a negative 10, I would. I texted one of my friends right away and told her to pass on it.

What to say about 92nd St Cafe? Well, it's kind of crappy but at the same time it's kind of not. I mean, the furniture is nice and they're remodeling the bathrooms. But the layout is so bizarre and there's so many beer ads, posters, neon signs, & pennants that it makes all the nice stuff irrelevant. The shape of the bar is weird too and there's not much room to move around when it's busy. The karaoke has a new guy that's cool, right now it's my favorite place to Karaoke. The staff is friendly and they remember customers. After only two visits the waiter remembered my favorite drink. The food is pretty good quality but their menu is a crazy clusterf*ck of different kinds of food. Nachos, fried shrimp, linguine bolognese, omelettes? All in all this place is a cozy neighborhood bar that's fun to have a few drinks at.

The service wasn't very good, it took me a long time to get a drink even though it wasn't busy. I had no trouble parking, even when it was busy. The food was middle of the road and the restrooms weren't clean. I didn't hate it but after a couple tries, I won't return.

I live near 92nd Street Cafe and have been curious to try their breakfast. Well, the experience I had left something to be desired. It was partially my fault as I they have three entrances and I (inadvertently) chose the bar entrance. My boyfriend and I say down at the nearest table and it took at least 10 minutes or so for a server to show up (granted, we appeared to be sitting in the bar area, but the bartender saw us and could have said something). In any case, we ordered and the food came out. My boyfriend's 92nd Street Cafe skillet was pretty good. But my dish was, for lack of a better word, terrible. I am not picky with food at all, but the crab was not real and very obviously so. The Hollandaise sauce was not fresh and the potatoes had no taste. I was disappointed because I don't go out often and when I do, I want it to be worth the (little) money that I have. Anyway, it took another 10 minutes upon finishing to get our check. We had to tell the bartender, though again, it could have been because we were sitting in the bar area. Overall, I definitely got the vibe that if you're not a regular, and not an alcoholic, you might find yourself a little out of place here. I sense they don't like uptight or picky types that can frequent Scottsdale restaurants, which is good. But I still got the vibe that it was elitist in its own way. I'd probably have to try some other things on their menu to really write a good review, but for now I am not a big fan.

Sorry, can't give this place more than 1 after a bad experience. Used to be sweet dive bar, now it's just a local loadie bar. Bartenders don't care, no management, and the karaoke guy is a real piece of work. He assaulted a guy while we were there and acted like he owned the place. Way to treat customers. Never will go again. Unless I am looking for some fisticuffs, then I will go for sure!

This area has plenty of housing but not many options to choose from for evening cocktails. Luckily a spot like 92nd Street Cafe exists. Now, here's something very important to note: disregard the name "cafe" in the title. When I think of a cafe, I think of a quaint spot where I can get a nice coffee, a simple sandwich/salad and sit for hours while reading a book. But at 92nd Street Cafe, think about this spot more as one where you go to after a couple or to get a couple drinks and waist the day/night away with bar food and dive drinks. The scene here is pretty classic and fun. I walked in and saw a large group of bar goers themed in their best 80s attire. I saw old men who were stumbling around like they'd been drinking since 1989 and I saw normal bar goers just there to kick back and have a few. It's divey in here but clean, the staff is friendly and the drinks are good. It's a narrow bar but surprisingly has a decent amount of seating a room. The interior has plenty of activities for the drinkers as well. I will end this review with a funny observation I made while there and that's the fact that this bar is right next to Sweet Republic. One day the kids are getting ice cream with their folks, the next day they are home from college and discover 92nd Street Cafe next door.

I hate this place. The bar staff is very nice and more attentive than I would expect from a sorta busy dump/dive, but everything else here is for the birds. The regular clientele seems seedy, with way too many people doing drugs in the bathrooms. The food is sickening and served on dirty plates. Kinda hard to F up a burger and they do it with ease. Just flat out the dirtiest bar and dining establishment I have ever found myself in.

Love this place! So much fun for karaoke, a great down-to-earth crowd that will sing along with you and a great selection of food that's better than your average bar/pub. I highly recommend it for a low-key night out, kicking back with friends or singing along with strangers! :)

Solid service, good food, stiff drinks, and plenty of sports. Nothing fancy about this place - just a great local place to relax. Someone needs to get some inside pics uploaded... guessing that will be me.

If you are looking for a casual, low-key, taverny kind of place this would be it. Food is better than bar food and the servings are big enough to share. Been here a couple of times with friends from Chicago and they know the bartender and manager very well from years of making this one of "their" places. The crowd is a mix, but more often older patrons. The service is spotty, but if the one you get knows you from coming in, the service is much better. Worth going and making it your neighborhood place.

We went to this place for a friend's graduation party around 11pm. I agree with the other posters that this is a very odd shaped bar! It felt very segregated and did not really allow for cross party interaction as the place is basically split into two. The karaoke was fun and the guy running it was a cool older guy. He did a couple songs too! Didn't try any of the food this time around but kind of want to go back to redeem myself from a bad karaoke attempt lol. It did take a while to get a drink. I ordered a pitcher of margaritas. There were two girls working the bar and it still took quite a while to have my order taken. I didn't want to get up in their faces so I was waiting towards the end of the bar and eventually had to have a seat it was taking so long.

This place is a decent local watering hole. The people who hang out there are nice enough. But I should never have to beg for a drink. The bartender was too busy chatting up with some guys at the end of the bar that she could not be bothered to get me a drink. So I went back to the patio sans drink. My friends ask why I didnt get a drink? Because I don't want one so bad as to have to beg for it. So rather than leave they talked me into waiting. Eventually got drink. Time to get drink #2. Went through the same process again. So now I am thinking it's just me she is ignoring. Then some other friends came in to join us. My buddy sits down next to me at the bar and after about 5 mins of waving his hands in the air he turns to me and asks, "What does a guy have to do to get a drink around here" Me: "Welcome to 92nd Street Cafe"

The food here was really good. Cheap too. I think it was $6.50 for nachos and it was a huge plate with real melted cheese on it. And they didn't skimp on the cheese either. We came here for karaoke and due to the realitively small turnout of singers, we were able to get several songs in. Service was great. I think Eric was his name- he was very accomodating and even gave our whole table a free round (there were 7 of us). Comfortable seating, clean facility and it looked as if they had a great patio as well.

This place was alright. The Reuben sandwich was pretty good, a little skimpy on the corned beef, but still good. We got there shortly after they opened so our service was fast. Our waitress Lori was efficient and pleasant. I wanted to sit outside, but the old timers were out there smoking, and I don't care for cigarette smoke. After a while the smoke started coming in through the door. Aside from them it was okay. Nothing to write home about, feels like a sports bar. if cigarette smoke bothers you I suggest you look elsewhere.

I enjoy coming to this place. It's a little quirky and the service is hit or miss. I don't really know what it is. But I just enjoy coming. Maybe cuz it's close to the house or cuz they serve alcohol. Well the food is really cheap, and the portions are decent for the price. It doesn't really seem like a cafe when you think cafe in your head. It's more like a bar with cheap food. But decent enough to keep me coming back.

I love this place. It had good stiff cheap drinks. It has great food and its not just "bar food". And all the servers & bartenders are awesome. So whether it be for karaoke, Sunday football, or to eat this place doesn't disappoint. And its not a snobby scottsdale bar either. Love "the ninety deuce" as regulars would call it ;)

Sunday football @ 92. Got the games we wanted, so big points scored there. Then one channel switched w/o consultation; cost them a star. The homestyle fried chicken was the best I've had in years! Every piece perfectly crisp and juicy without being greasy. YUM! Steak & Eggs and fries were great. Drinks were strong including Martini specials. They give great karaoke @ night.

Stella C.
Kinda really love this place. Here's why. Stiff cheap drinks, a REAL boozy day drinking crowd and pretty decent food. My Ketel One and tonic was so stiff I could barely taste the tonic. And it was $5.25! What?! Am I still in Scottsdale? Plus, I love the crowd. None of this fake "frat boy" fake dive bar crowd. No, middle aged serious boozers who really know how to drink. Fun, crazy, insane "conversation" with seriously drunk guy at 2 in the afternoon. Now that's entertainment! Also...the place has damn fine vitals. The only thing that would make this place a "real" dive bar is if the food was terrible. But, hey. Two out of three ain't bad. Glad this joint is with biking distance from my pad. I'm a fan.

This is a neighborhood pub/bar/restaurant. The food isn't fancy, but it is good. It is a regular hangout for quite a number of patrons, but even if you go there infrequently, if you get the same bartender a few times, they will remember your name. I've sat at the bar, at one of the tables in the bar section, and in the restaurant area. Never been disappointed.
Sunday night, busy weekend, lazy...we decided to pop down the block from our new place....French Dip, a Burger, few pops, some football and excellent service! Just found my new closest to the house watering hole!

Karoke night was fun to watch. Two bartenders, one guy and one girl. The girl was terrible. You had to flag her down to get a drink everytime. It became the talk of the bar. Good place to stop for one drink but not good enough to hang for the night.

Cute little neighborhood restaurant. The food is pretty traditional, with items like steak, sandwiches and pasta on the menu. The prices are very reasonable too, which makes this restaurant a good choice for those nights when you want a homecooked meal without having to cook it yourself! I noticed that the staff seemed to know the names of quite a few diners. It seemed like this would be a place filled with regulars, but that proved it to me. And the staff is very warm and friendly, so I'm sure they make their regulars feel as if they're coming over to a friend's house for dinner, rather than a restaurant.

Stopped in here for lunch. I found out that this place has been here many years, and run by the same folks. A cozy sports bar with an inviting menu. I immediately went for the Cobb Salad (although there were many other great looking options). The Cobb salad was made with the ingredients I'd been hoping to see on it. For example - avocado, bacon, eggs, blue cheese, etc. They had chicken pieces on it. I guess if I had any complaint if may be that those chicken cubes where not hot and juicy. But otherwise entirely acceptable with what was provided. I had the chili as a side for a slightly higher price. The chili was VERY good! And an unsweetened raspberry tea. Also good. Overall an enjoyable lunch experience.

Thursday through Saturday karaoke is always a great time! Drinks are a decent price and it's never too crowded. Saturday nights are obviously the busiest and can be a lot of fun! Open to anyone from the tone deaf to the next winner of American idol. Service can be a bit lagged but that's not why we come here.
(4)Jessica D.
I have gone to 92nd street a handful of times. The one thing I would tell everyone, to go in on Sundays when Eric is working! He is the best bartender!!!! Very attentive, talkative, and makes awesome drinks! This bar probably has some of the best food I have ever had a bar/restaurant! Everything I have gotten, has been really delicious!
(4)Jim K.
Met a friend for some snacks. Happy hour menu was sticky (please clean) but the food was so yummy. We had the double dipped buffalo wings and a sample platter. Buffalo wings were served hot, fresh and a crunchy. The sauce was tangy, and spiciness was just the right! A definite winner on the menu! Next we ordered the sample platter which had a bit little of everything (potato skins, mozzarella sticks, wings, and zucchini) which were served hot and was full of flavor. Our server was very friendly also and she left us alone to enjoy our food and conversation. Water was kept full and appreciated. We will be back!

Worse than one star. One bar tender called my friend a cunt which was completely uncalled for. After four months of avoiding this bar my boyfriend and I gave it a second chance. Except I was refused service for my yelp review. I'm sorry, apparently this bar doesn't respect my rights, freedom of speech. I refuse to take my yelp review down when unfortunately the events explained in my review actually happened at that bar. No disciplinary action taken on a bartender who calls their customers a cunt but I am refused service for having a voice. Seems like an ass backwards system to me. Needless to say I will never go to this bar again. Congratulations 92nd st, you lost some really great customers.
(1)Brande H.
OH MY MY where do I start???? I'll start with the bartender TOMMI called me a "Cunt" and a "Stupid fuckin bitch" in front of a bar full of people, then kicked me out!! All because she DOESNT KNOW HOW TO MAKE A MOSCOW MULE. Yup that happened. It was 10pm when myself & 2 other people came there and ordered a Moscow Mule, she attempted to make them but served us vodka soda w/ a lime. There was NO GINGER BEER in it. Clearly a Moscow Mule is GINGER BEER, vodka & lime juice. No mint! No soda water! So we returned the drinks (FULL) and said "AGAIN there is NO GINGER BEER in these" (we were there last Thurs & she tried to do the same thing to all of us, then charge me Moscow Mule prices, I said no I'm paying vodka/soda prices) I called a cab and we went outside to wait. The next thing I know TOMMI comes outside and starts yelling at me because, we were talking about how she doesn't know how to make the drink. She calls me a "cunt, a stupid fucking bitch, tells me the ginger beer gun must be out" and kicks me out. CLEARLY GINGER BEER NEVER COMES OUT OF A GUN. Ginger Ale does. On a side not I placed a phone call to 92nd St prior to going there last night because of what happened last Thurs night, asking if they had ginger beer now, I was told yes! So we went there only to get Moscow Mules. To our total disappointment and HORRIBLY UNPROFESSIONAL service we left. We went to Chop & Wok and had many great tasting, well made Moscow Mules!!!! I would NEVER EVER recommend this place! As to TOMMI, you need to really think about the words that come out of your mouth at the place of business you work at. #Classy Oh the unprofessionalism doesn't stop there, come to find out after we left a few of my friends went there (she knew we were friends) and she continued to talk shit about me and brag about kicking me out!!!! WOW!!!!!!
(1)Courtney P.
Had a great time last night! Great staff and good drinks. Tommi the bartender was awesome! Karaoke was entertaining, I can't sing. .. but neither could most... lots of good laughs!

Stopped in for a super bowl breakfast. Maybe the worst decision of 2015. I ordered the biscuits and gravy and clearly, these folks have never been to the south. I had one bite and sent it back. my dog wouldn't eat this crap Run for your life. Avoid this slop house. . Yuk After this last review, I received the following hate mail from my server: Subject: Why you gotta be so mean? "Hi, Doug, I was your bartender both times you came into 92nd Street Café. I must say that I am extremely offended by your unwarranted, hateful comments. You have ordered TWO items on our menu, obviously they didn't appeal to YOU, but was it necessary to call the place, and I quote, a "slop house"? I offered to do anything to make the experience better for you, but you would have none of it. You didn't want to be happy, you wanted to be mean and insulting. I tried. Funny that you couldn't find it in your review to mention that Stephanie enjoyed her pancakes or that I provided good service. Instead you used an all over generality to condemn the entire place over two dishes. FYI, 8 orders of biscuits and gravy served at the bar, only complaint was yours. Bad mood? Likely. I hope Stephanie returns. She was a really nice person. Sincerely, Kelly Sheppard" I stand behind my second review 110% and what I find funny is that Kelly apparently did not take the time to read my first review which was very complimentary and for the record, she never offered anything to "make it better" .... If I go to a restaurant two (2) times and get bad food or bad service, I write them off. Once again, there are 10 billion restaurants to go to, why would I go to a place with food that in my opinion is sub standard??
(1)Monique M.
This place is a great place to come for a drink. But if you're interested in getting anything off the menu, please spare yourself the disappointment. Food- zero stars. (It's hard to burn something and make it slimy at the same time) Service- zero stars (My waiter just let a drop of sweat on my leg) Atmosphere- one star (your neighborhood hole in the wall) oh and they forgot to bring my side of bacon .
(1)Jake P.
This bar has every aspect of a dive bar that you love. Karaoke Wednesday through Sunday, the best staff ever, strong drinks, great food. For those looking for a bar family this is the place to go. Anyone who says otherwise is usually some drunk asshole who got kicked out. Join us, love us.
(5)Jeremy P.
Fun, corner bar with friendly staff and Karaoke Weds - Sat. The locals are welcoming and fun to talk to there is a pretty wide song selection for Karaoke. DJs are easy to talk to, and you don't get that stuck up vibe that a lot of Karaoke bars put out.

What do u want? It's a dive bar! Great breakfast for football season! And karaoke! We enjoy it...
(4)Steve A.
decent neighborhood place, lots of TV's to watch sports. We went in on a slow night to grab some food and drinks. The drinks were great, but the food came out really slow, even though there were not many people in the place. Fish tacos were plentiful, but I have to say, not so impressed with the wings. I was told they were double dipped to make them extra crispy. Fine, but they were overcooked to the point of being dried up. The service was pretty good, even though she seemed to disappear at times, and we had to wait to flag her down for service. Another person behind the bar, or wiat staff might have helped this. Worth another shot to see how I fare next time.
(2)Shawn G.
This place is a shit hole with incompetent and the rudest bartenders I've experienced. No draft beers? Recent unprofessional behaviors by the bartenders has confirmed that I will not be a patron again. I wanted to give no stars but the system wouldn't allow.
(1)Paul L.
The 92nd Street Cafe is a very nice place. I give it 5-stars because I go there whenever I want a Monte Cristo sandwiich. I've had other menu items as well and they are also well prepared and a pleasure. However, their Monte Cristo is why I mostly visit. They have some seating outside that's quiet and nice during the spring and fall. Definitely an option for a nice afternoon meal.
(5)Ryan B.
These guys are awesome if you treat them with respect, because they are busy and deal with a lot, as long as you treat the bartenders with respect they will reciprocate.. I left a bad review before and I regret it every day I come back... Just act like you wanna be treated and the bartenders will be the same way.
(5)Tyger L.
I have had food delivered twice from 92nd Street Café. The first time was worthy of at least 3 stars...unfortunately, today was a 1 star day. My bbq bacon burger arrived disheveled and unappetizingly burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. I ordered it as well-done and asked to have the bbq sauce on the side. Neither of those things happened. After taking a bite, I promptly tossed it in the garbage. So bummed out and nauseous (there's nothing quite like biting into a raw meat patty). My coworker ordered zucchini and it arrived soggy and inedible.
(2)Lisa G.
Food is great. I don't understand why it has so many bad reviews ? The appeal of the restaurant in the inside is a little drab and outdated, but besides that great food. I'd rather the food be amazing then a fancy looking place and shitty food
(5)Chris R.
Gross. I just moved to the neighborhood, but knew of this place for 20 years. I just thought I'd get some takeout and give it a shot since my family was out of town. I mean seriously. I'm not particular. But I just threw out my entire entree after one bite. It's disgusting. I also got wings which were less than spectacular, but passable as wings. But dear lord, I got a sampler to see what they had cooking. ribs, shrimp and chicken. all of it: d-i-s-g-u-s-t-i-n-g.
(1)Gary S.
I had to change my review. After going there repeatedly, I came to realize this is an overpriced dive bar that over serves people constantly. Even for Scottsdale, the prices are ridiculous. What finally pushed me over the edge was getting a tab for $6.50 for salsa and chips. That's 1/3 more than 90% of most places in the valley. I've seen the owner a couple of times and he's a COMPLETE jerk, whenever he's around. The best that could happen is this place goes out of business
(1)Kenneth M.
I usually do not rate places when I travel. But this place deserves a bad rating. Was in town for business. Food- not good. Service- eating dinner instead of serving me. Pretty bad overall.
(1)Rick T.
Been going here off and on for a few months. Always during happy hour. (prices are the best) Always friendly staff, very good service. Food is very good. (we just order the appetizers) Nice selection. Hoping to try the Friday fish fry, I have heard very good things about that.
(5)Paul E.
Still love the 92nd street cafe but was very disappointed when I went in last Friday, expecting to see Carmit behind the bar and she wasn't there, but instead waiting tables. Why take the bartender who makes the most technical and complex drinks so very expertly and sideline her?? No offense to her replacement, she's extremely polite but she's not adept at making drinks!! Hoping to see Carmit either reinstated or possibly picking up Sunday's, that'll give me a reason to go on Sunday! Also finally met Tomi, if you're ever in on a Tuesday or Saturday, she is so amazing and funny, the perfect complement to Sue, who as I said before, is complete perfection!! Come on 92nd, don't let us regulars down, #bringbackCarmit
(5)Dorania M.
Stop by early afternoon on a Saturday, walked around looking for a host/hostess, I was not acknowledge at all, the place looks dirty and smells of cigarette smoke, although there was no one smoking. I was afraid to take an available seat and not be served or totally ignored. So I left I went to another area restaurant that is a delight.
(1)Graham G.
Eating amazing desert while getting served by the best looking server in town Tony aka "Johnny Neuron". Life is grand.
(5)Patrick D.
Terrible service. 1/17/15 my friends and I walked in around lunch time to have a quick beer. Upon seating, we waited 10 minutes before we had to flag down a waiter to put in an order for drinks. After ordering, 10 more minutes elapsed before our waiter returned to see if we needed anything else ... which we stated we were still waiting for our drinks. 10 minutes later he returned to let us know that a beer we ordered was out. (Which was listed on a giant chalkboard at the bar as a daily special) ... at which point we walked out. They showed total disregard for efficient service ... avoid if possible.
(1)L P.
Not sure why all the bad reviews? We decided to eat here because it was next to the Glow Putt golf place and we were hungry. We sat outside on the small patio area and enjoyed the beautiful evening. Our waiter was excellent; very professional, personable and service was quick. Our group order the strawberry salad, the Chinese salad and french onion soup with garlic bread. They all tasted GREAT! Salads were fresh and presented really nicely. Soups were delicious and so was the garlic bread. Prices were totally affordable and they had a pretty good sized menu, not just "bar food". We would definitely eat here again. The majority of the bad reviews seems to be from unhappy bar patrons, but as far as food quality, price, and service....no complaints here!
(4)Amy F.
Came here for a late lunch. I had the mushroom burger with a veggie patty substituted. It was on par with most other veggie patties at restaurants, dry with little taste. The veggies on it were really good. I can't fault 92nd for what the trend is amongst most restaurants. My friend's burger, she said, was overcooked and burned. She asked for medium well. She has a tendency to not say anything at restaurants, so if the employees are reading this, no worries. You could not have known. I might be back for the karaoke and pool table, since there was a cool vibe. I won't be back for the food. The service was great! They were attentive, sweet, and seemed to really care about how we were doing. Again, I am sure this place has a cool bar/ local hang-out feel later at night.
(3)AJ D.
5 stars just because the "fit" bartender that everyone else has mentioned is hot, my type for sure!
(5)Mehdi F.
This place was hands down the worst restaurant I have ever been to. The service took forever, I don't think we have still got our menus and water...when you go to the bathroom, there is no soap to wash the hands, what a joke. Now to the review that everyone cares about, the food. Well I would rather have eaten the menu, I got the "famous" guac burger, and the bun was smashed, the lettuce was shriveled, and the burger patty, my goodness, I have never eaten a worse piece of meat. Zero flavor and it tasted like it had been just taken out of the freezer and thrown on the grill. I recommend if you're thinking about trying this place, go across the street to the McDonalds, you will have a much better experience.
(1)Tami S.
My friends are I were in again last Saturday and as always had a great time! Tommi and Sue are the best bartenders they are so funny and pour great drinks. We do like to wait until later in the night to come though otherwise you have to hear this old couple Pam and Erny sing the same slow and boring songs every week. We like the new younger karaoke host he plays much better music.
(5)P R.
If I could give negative stars I would. I came in with my dad to watch a March Madness game. First, they told us it was impossible to change a TV? (No one else was watching it) The bartender was absolutely rude. Got super annoyed at my dad for asking for a glass for his beer. She gave me the wrong drink twice and got mad at ME for it. Eye rolls, shit talking, bad attitude. Honestly the worst establishment I've ever been at in a long time. The best part is they confronted me about my review. The nicer bartender was fine, but the rude one- watch out.
(1)Alicia L.
Come here fairly often with my fiance and like the atmosphere. Dawnielle does fantastic karaoke on weeknights and is always friendly! Food is decent and drinks are strong :)
(5)Linda R.
We tried the 92nd Street Cafe tonight because being from out of town we didn't want to go to a chain restaurant for a meal we could have had at home, but after the experience tonight I concede we should have gone to any national chain restaurant instead. Both my husband's meal and mine were basically inedible, but the staff appeared to be unconcerned because at no point were we asked how the meal was or why we ate only a small portion of it before pushing it aside. Our server never took an interest in our table, a second round of drinks took forever to materialize, despite the restaurant being far from full of patrons. I am happy to say this will be an adventure in dining I will never again repeat nor would I recommend anyone else wasting their hard earned cash here.
(1)Judy B.
No stars actually. Ordered a burger. Waited half hour. Server brought a cheeseburger and had to send it back. 9:45 p.m. Few people eating. Most in the bar. Waited another 15 minutes and gave up. 9 years eating here. Never saw such lackluster service. They couldn't care less about me or my business. Goodbye 92nd St.
(1)John C.
Great neighborhood bar/restaurant. Good food at reasonable price. Waiter needs some lessons on Customer Orientation. First beer was FLAT, with no offer to take back or not charge. Guinness on tap was excellent. He seemed in a hurry to finish shift or whatever.
(4)bill k.
The best thing about 92nd is the staff. This is my neighborhood bar and the staff has always been so nice and cheerful when I come in. There are other establishments to visit, but why? It has everything I need. Great food, fair prices and that amazing Staff again. It's clean, well managed and they treat everyone as a new friend. Anyone I've brought here has said the same thing. "I love this Bar!"
(5)Matthew B.
This place is awesome ! I always go during football season originally being from WI to watch the packer games ! There are bears fans there as well and they are all good sports so it's fun to joke around about the rivalry. Food is great, they even have a Friday fish fry which if your from the Midwest you will enjoy. The drinks are a great price as well. The owner Mike is a really nice guy and I have got to meet him! I will continue to go back especially during football season !
(5)Cherry L.
Not bad for bar food. Had the patty melt with turkey. They did a good job with it. But the one thing that was horrible was the service. We saw our waitress once maybe twice. After that, nothing.
(3)Naoi R.
This place is okay. We had the steak sandwich, gyro, shrimp cocktail and cheesecake. Steak sandwich was tough (cooked medium) and on bread that got super soggy. They need to use harder rolls not soft sandwich rolls. Gyro was okay, pita a little tough, and cucumber sauce was oddly a little sweet. Shrimp cocktail was good, just overpriced for 5 shrimp. Cheesecake was tasty. All in all a decent place to eat, just not mind-blowing.
(3)John B.
My Tuna Melt was excellent as was the accompanying coleslaw. The New England Clam chowder left much to be desired.
(3)Eva M.
Overall my experience was great, but not because of the waitresses and drinks we had but because I had fun with the people I was with. We went there on a wednesday night, so we knew it would be dead. The music was rap/hip-hop all night (not too loud though, we could here each others fine). There is about 5 TV screens surrounding the bar, all with different channels on (news, sports...). The waitress was pleasant. I had bought a yelp deal $10 for $20. The waitress first took off $10 of the bill and I had to explain to her that I had already paid $10 to yelp and she should take off $20 (like it says on the voucher). It took her a while to get it. Like I said, of you are with good friends, just looking for a place to grab a drink, and you already in the area, then you'll be fine. After all it's the people you are with that will make your night!
(2)Cloey K.
We found this place on Yelp searching for a great local breakfast joint. We wanted something different than your classic "Dennys" or extremely packed 2 hour wait breakfast spot...so this was perfect. Our server...I forget her name but she was ripped! had some great suggestions for us. I ended up getting the Raisin bread french toast (which was fantastic!) and my friends enjoyed a couple of skillets. Good food, good times! Also lots of TV's around so you can catch the game while eating which was definitely a plus for my boyfriend haha We'll be going back for sure now that we found this spot. Thanks Yelp!
(5)Clay D.
We went to Karaoke on a wed.nt..Nice little place.Theres no stage,you just sing where ever...
(3)Elana S.
This is a great neighborhood bar!! Sam, the incredible DJ, mixes it up and let's everyone have their 15 minutes during Karaoke. Carmit, the hot, exotic bartender, has a heavy hand when pouring drinks and the crowd is friendly. Great place!
(5)Garrett L.
First time here. The sever is extremely unprofessional and didn't greet us. We sat in the upper area and ordered 2 burgers. I had the BBQ and she had the guacamole one. The burgers were extremely tasteless and it was over cooked. The French fries seemed to be the frozen ones that I can make at home. The server never refilled and I had to walk up to the bar to finally get one. Sadly my stomach actually hurts after eating. The 20 for 10 is nice, but they need that to even get customers I bet. I would not recommend this place at all
(1)Kirsten D.
Let me start off by saying that the ONLY reason we went here was to be in a dive bar that wasn't too far from home. I wanted a divey place, without the North Scottsdale douche feel. Got here super early, like at 7:00 and left sometime after midnight. The waitress was THE BOMB!!! She was super on top of everything. Water never got low, drinks never got low, she was friendly without being annoying. Couldn't have asked for better service. Did order some appetizers, and they were all typical bar food. Nothing really stood out as great, but when you're drinking, everything tastes pretty good. Crowd was a mix of 20 something's to 60 something's. On a scale from Ed Hardy to Affliction, I'd rate it in the middle as there were both! lol But all in all, it was a good time. Listening to the wannabe American Idol contestants do karaoke was the highlight. And even got the chance to see a few athletes. All in all, I'd go back for dive bar night. It was a nice change of pace!
(4)Nick W.
I went here with my family a couple of days ago. I like the restaurant format but I don't really like the food on the menu. Our waiter was alright and I would give him a B-. The food was pretty good but not great.
(3)Smuppy S.
I've lived about 2 minutes away from this place for the last 5 years and never tried it. I found a coupon of buy one, get one free so we thought we would try it before the kids' baseball game last night. Now I know why I never bothered. It is a dive bar for sure and it's definitely a good place to go if you don't like the trendy places. I would probably go back just for drinks and maybe an appetizer. When we arrived, we were greeted by a server. As I set my coupon on the table (not sure if he needed to see it right away), I ordered my drink and showed him the coupon. HIs response was a smart- assed "yeah, I can see it". Strike one. I work in a restaurant and I will hold you to a standard. My son ordered the kids sliders with only cheese and ketchup, the other kid ordered kids' strips, I ordered the meatloaf and my husband ordered the bolognese dish and asked for a salad. We asked for an appetizer of wings. There was a style of ordering them that I questioned and the server's response was another smart ass reply that they are exactly how they sound. Okay, well every place is different and I wanted to know WTF made this place so freaking special with their stupid wings. Strike two. Then at this point there was a server change, the next guy was really nice. My son's sliders came out about 15 minutes before anything else. And they had onions on them, not how he ordered it. Strike three. Honestly, I should have just walked out at this point. My husband never got his salad and the wings were okay. I would have had better wings elsewhere. Strike four. We had to be at the kids' field for baseball at 6:15 and it was already 5:50 before we got anything. My meatloaf was supposed to come with mashed potatoes and they gave me some nasty rice. I asked for the potatoes. He came back 10 minutes later to say they were working on the potatoes and I told him that we had to leave and I needed a box. My husband just left with the kids. My meatloaf was okay, it had good flavor but the consistency of dog food. Now I wish I had a dog so I could just give the leftovers to him. The server apologized for everything and stated that he walked in and everything was thrown on him, which I could believe because the other guy was such an ass. When he took the value for our coupon off, they took off the cheapest meal which was my son's $6 chicken fingers! The coupon had a value up to $8 or $10. So why choose the cheapest one when tax added another $5 and I had a savings then of $1. Strike 5,042. We paid $55 for shitty food and drinks. I also want to add that the guy who brought our food was also really nice. So, this place gets a star for their servers, otherwise, if I could score a negative 10, I would. I texted one of my friends right away and told her to pass on it.

Pretty good food. Nice local restaurant. The portions were huge and service was great.

What to say about 92nd St Cafe? Well, it's kind of crappy but at the same time it's kind of not. I mean, the furniture is nice and they're remodeling the bathrooms. But the layout is so bizarre and there's so many beer ads, posters, neon signs, & pennants that it makes all the nice stuff irrelevant. The shape of the bar is weird too and there's not much room to move around when it's busy. The karaoke has a new guy that's cool, right now it's my favorite place to Karaoke. The staff is friendly and they remember customers. After only two visits the waiter remembered my favorite drink. The food is pretty good quality but their menu is a crazy clusterf*ck of different kinds of food. Nachos, fried shrimp, linguine bolognese, omelettes? All in all this place is a cozy neighborhood bar that's fun to have a few drinks at.

I have lived in Scottsdale for a little over a year and this is my favorite bar to come to. The mixed drinks are nice and strong and the service is always good! I usually go on karaoke nights and its always fun! Dawniel and Sam do an amazing job! There are tons of TVs with words on them so you can move around the bar and sing.

The service wasn't very good, it took me a long time to get a drink even though it wasn't busy. I had no trouble parking, even when it was busy. The food was middle of the road and the restrooms weren't clean. I didn't hate it but after a couple tries, I won't return.

I live near 92nd Street Cafe and have been curious to try their breakfast. Well, the experience I had left something to be desired. It was partially my fault as I they have three entrances and I (inadvertently) chose the bar entrance. My boyfriend and I say down at the nearest table and it took at least 10 minutes or so for a server to show up (granted, we appeared to be sitting in the bar area, but the bartender saw us and could have said something). In any case, we ordered and the food came out. My boyfriend's 92nd Street Cafe skillet was pretty good. But my dish was, for lack of a better word, terrible. I am not picky with food at all, but the crab was not real and very obviously so. The Hollandaise sauce was not fresh and the potatoes had no taste. I was disappointed because I don't go out often and when I do, I want it to be worth the (little) money that I have. Anyway, it took another 10 minutes upon finishing to get our check. We had to tell the bartender, though again, it could have been because we were sitting in the bar area. Overall, I definitely got the vibe that if you're not a regular, and not an alcoholic, you might find yourself a little out of place here. I sense they don't like uptight or picky types that can frequent Scottsdale restaurants, which is good. But I still got the vibe that it was elitist in its own way. I'd probably have to try some other things on their menu to really write a good review, but for now I am not a big fan.

Just terrible. The female answering the phone should be fired. Tried to place an order for pick up and she was so incredibly rude with a touch of 80's valley girl in her voice.

Sorry, can't give this place more than 1 after a bad experience. Used to be sweet dive bar, now it's just a local loadie bar. Bartenders don't care, no management, and the karaoke guy is a real piece of work. He assaulted a guy while we were there and acted like he owned the place. Way to treat customers. Never will go again. Unless I am looking for some fisticuffs, then I will go for sure!

This area has plenty of housing but not many options to choose from for evening cocktails. Luckily a spot like 92nd Street Cafe exists. Now, here's something very important to note: disregard the name "cafe" in the title. When I think of a cafe, I think of a quaint spot where I can get a nice coffee, a simple sandwich/salad and sit for hours while reading a book. But at 92nd Street Cafe, think about this spot more as one where you go to after a couple or to get a couple drinks and waist the day/night away with bar food and dive drinks. The scene here is pretty classic and fun. I walked in and saw a large group of bar goers themed in their best 80s attire. I saw old men who were stumbling around like they'd been drinking since 1989 and I saw normal bar goers just there to kick back and have a few. It's divey in here but clean, the staff is friendly and the drinks are good. It's a narrow bar but surprisingly has a decent amount of seating a room. The interior has plenty of activities for the drinkers as well. I will end this review with a funny observation I made while there and that's the fact that this bar is right next to Sweet Republic. One day the kids are getting ice cream with their folks, the next day they are home from college and discover 92nd Street Cafe next door.

Worst place ever! Their nasty karaoke singer who is a regular, physically assaulted my brother-in-law and the bartenders did not care! There was no manager or owner on staff! This place is managed horribly and I do not recommend it to anyone!
(1)Thomas S.
Great bar with great food and staff. They also have karaoke at 9pm until 1:30am Wednesday through Saturday. The karaoke hosts are awesome and always fun!!!
(4)Amanda B.
-10 stars. They sit there and let their racist karaoke leader mock customers and get into altercations and shove women who are patrons of the bar. He has assaulted our our family by physically shoving the hat of my brother deeper onto his head instigating

they need to get rid of JUSTIN...just plain RUDE!!

We found a new local sports bar and cafe! Good food, great people and you leave feeling satisfied without digging too deep in the wallet. Highly recommend.
(4)Laura K.
Wonderful place! Friendly and efficient service....even going the extra mile. Great food and fun atmosphere. Can't believe 92nd Street Cafe has been around so long yet this is our first visit! We will be back!
(5)Charlie T.
I hate this place. The bar staff is very nice and more attentive than I would expect from a sorta busy dump/dive, but everything else here is for the birds. The regular clientele seems seedy, with way too many people doing drugs in the bathrooms. The food is sickening and served on dirty plates. Kinda hard to F up a burger and they do it with ease. Just flat out the dirtiest bar and dining establishment I have ever found myself in.
(2)Champagne B.
I would like this place a lot more if the karaoke were better. The selection of songs is really odd. Plus I gave the dude a $10 tip and he let me do one song in three hours. Not cool, dude.
(3)Kendra R.
Love this place! So much fun for karaoke, a great down-to-earth crowd that will sing along with you and a great selection of food that's better than your average bar/pub. I highly recommend it for a low-key night out, kicking back with friends or singing along with strangers! :)
(4)Michael C.
Solid service, good food, stiff drinks, and plenty of sports. Nothing fancy about this place - just a great local place to relax. Someone needs to get some inside pics uploaded... guessing that will be me.
(4)Esther M.
If you are looking for a casual, low-key, taverny kind of place this would be it. Food is better than bar food and the servings are big enough to share. Been here a couple of times with friends from Chicago and they know the bartender and manager very well from years of making this one of "their" places. The crowd is a mix, but more often older patrons. The service is spotty, but if the one you get knows you from coming in, the service is much better. Worth going and making it your neighborhood place.

We went to this place for a friend's graduation party around 11pm. I agree with the other posters that this is a very odd shaped bar! It felt very segregated and did not really allow for cross party interaction as the place is basically split into two. The karaoke was fun and the guy running it was a cool older guy. He did a couple songs too! Didn't try any of the food this time around but kind of want to go back to redeem myself from a bad karaoke attempt lol. It did take a while to get a drink. I ordered a pitcher of margaritas. There were two girls working the bar and it still took quite a while to have my order taken. I didn't want to get up in their faces so I was waiting towards the end of the bar and eventually had to have a seat it was taking so long.
(3)Kevin M.
This place is a decent local watering hole. The people who hang out there are nice enough. But I should never have to beg for a drink. The bartender was too busy chatting up with some guys at the end of the bar that she could not be bothered to get me a drink. So I went back to the patio sans drink. My friends ask why I didnt get a drink? Because I don't want one so bad as to have to beg for it. So rather than leave they talked me into waiting. Eventually got drink. Time to get drink #2. Went through the same process again. So now I am thinking it's just me she is ignoring. Then some other friends came in to join us. My buddy sits down next to me at the bar and after about 5 mins of waving his hands in the air he turns to me and asks, "What does a guy have to do to get a drink around here" Me: "Welcome to 92nd Street Cafe"

Food is fried. Drinks are weak. It smells
(1)Reggie W.
Great place to relax and enjoy a great price drinks and food anytime of day. Was my first time visiting definitely will go back!!
(5)Chukki S.
The food here was really good. Cheap too. I think it was $6.50 for nachos and it was a huge plate with real melted cheese on it. And they didn't skimp on the cheese either. We came here for karaoke and due to the realitively small turnout of singers, we were able to get several songs in. Service was great. I think Eric was his name- he was very accomodating and even gave our whole table a free round (there were 7 of us). Comfortable seating, clean facility and it looked as if they had a great patio as well.
(4)Pamela R.
This place was alright. The Reuben sandwich was pretty good, a little skimpy on the corned beef, but still good. We got there shortly after they opened so our service was fast. Our waitress Lori was efficient and pleasant. I wanted to sit outside, but the old timers were out there smoking, and I don't care for cigarette smoke. After a while the smoke started coming in through the door. Aside from them it was okay. Nothing to write home about, feels like a sports bar. if cigarette smoke bothers you I suggest you look elsewhere.
(3)Igor M.
I enjoy coming to this place. It's a little quirky and the service is hit or miss. I don't really know what it is. But I just enjoy coming. Maybe cuz it's close to the house or cuz they serve alcohol. Well the food is really cheap, and the portions are decent for the price. It doesn't really seem like a cafe when you think cafe in your head. It's more like a bar with cheap food. But decent enough to keep me coming back.
(3)Marisa B.
I love this place. It had good stiff cheap drinks. It has great food and its not just "bar food". And all the servers & bartenders are awesome. So whether it be for karaoke, Sunday football, or to eat this place doesn't disappoint. And its not a snobby scottsdale bar either. Love "the ninety deuce" as regulars would call it ;)
(5)Steve W.
Sunday football @ 92. Got the games we wanted, so big points scored there. Then one channel switched w/o consultation; cost them a star. The homestyle fried chicken was the best I've had in years! Every piece perfectly crisp and juicy without being greasy. YUM! Steak & Eggs and fries were great. Drinks were strong including Martini specials. They give great karaoke @ night.
(4)Stella C.
Kinda really love this place. Here's why. Stiff cheap drinks, a REAL boozy day drinking crowd and pretty decent food. My Ketel One and tonic was so stiff I could barely taste the tonic. And it was $5.25! What?! Am I still in Scottsdale? Plus, I love the crowd. None of this fake "frat boy" fake dive bar crowd. No, middle aged serious boozers who really know how to drink. Fun, crazy, insane "conversation" with seriously drunk guy at 2 in the afternoon. Now that's entertainment! Also...the place has damn fine vitals. The only thing that would make this place a "real" dive bar is if the food was terrible. But, hey. Two out of three ain't bad. Glad this joint is with biking distance from my pad. I'm a fan.
(4)Bil Z.
This is a neighborhood pub/bar/restaurant. The food isn't fancy, but it is good. It is a regular hangout for quite a number of patrons, but even if you go there infrequently, if you get the same bartender a few times, they will remember your name. I've sat at the bar, at one of the tables in the bar section, and in the restaurant area. Never been disappointed.

This is a tough review for me to write. Have you ever felt like you wanted to like something, and whatever it was, was just kind of "Meh..." and you left wondering why? Well that was my experience at 92nd St. Café. My wife and I had an engagement on that side of town and we were about a half hour early so we thought we'd stop in for a drink first. We walked in and sat at the bar, and my first impression was that it was a "Neighborhood Bar", as in, if you don't live in the "neighborhood" then this bar isn't for you. It's hard to explain. The patrons were mostly middle aged men and a couple of women. We sat at the bar and were basically ignored for the first five minutes we were there while the bartender (picture Johnny Bravo from the cartoon network) talked on his cell phone, flirted with the female patron(s), and wiped down the glasses. We were finally served by a really nice lady who appeared from the back of the restaurant and we were promptly served. My wife had a Guinness and I had a Crown and Coke. The pour was strong and the total was $11. We noticed a sign proclaiming karaoke Wed-Sat from 9pm-1:30am. We spied the karaoke setup in the corner and grabbed a book and saw they had a pretty decent selection of songs, so we decided to stop back by after our engagement and check it out. Later that night, we returned, and karaoke was in full swing...well sorta. There were two singers. The host was doing his best to get other singers up, but just wasn't having much luck. In between singers he played a mix of Lady Gaga and Kid Rock so it wasn't quite as awkward, although it was rather loud. We were hungry so we ordered some food. I got the sliders and my wife had the crab rangoon appetizer. I didn't try the rangoon, but the sliders were fair. The sliders consisted of basically a hamburger patty cut into quarters with cheese and grilled onions on top. It was dark and I didn't notice the grilled onions when I read the menu or I would have declined as they don't agree with me. But that was my fault not theirs. We didn't end up singing because we just weren't feeling it, if you know what I mean. But the waiter was super nice and very prompt. It was a completely different crowd at night than it was earlier in the evening. So would I go back? Maybe, if I was in the neighborhood, but I wouldn't make a special trip to the place...again, for me, it was just "Meh".

Sunday night, busy weekend, lazy...we decided to pop down the block from our new place....French Dip, a Burger, few pops, some football and excellent service! Just found my new closest to the house watering hole!
(4)Ms S.
Karoke night was fun to watch. Two bartenders, one guy and one girl. The girl was terrible. You had to flag her down to get a drink everytime. It became the talk of the bar. Good place to stop for one drink but not good enough to hang for the night.
