Beaver Dam Bar — Restaurant in Arizona

3 stars? What's up with that? Well I decided to review The Dam Bar and the Dam Station with a review that might actually help people who Google Arizona Lottery and see that this place offers events and think "well that could be fun let's make a day out of it."

First off 3 stars isn't bad, it's not good it's just the middle of the road and here is why....

It's for the most part a locals hang out. If you've driven through Beaver Dam you see it's not a huge place and so more often then not there is locals there, and bikers, and the Lottery runners who drive down from SoUT and further to get their scratches (yup I'm one of them), to have a cocktail without the local UT Bishops and Relief Society shaking their heads in disapproval, or to listen to small venue outside live local music which happens with varying regularity here.

So that sounds pretty awesome right? Well here's the rub..... any event we tried to go to unless we showed up at 8 am there is no where to sit and enjoy it as there are little chair cities erected early and stay all day, so while the music rocks unless you're literally going to give it the day maybe don't plan on being super comfortable.

The Station is a smaller convenience store and while they have decent prices for an off the freeway stop, there is no gas station so... no fuel... you may have to wait to get in if the power ball is up over a couple hundred million and you'll wait in line for the register..... if you're cashing a scratcher most of the staff is SUPER friendly but one of them seems to just dislike the world and can come across grouchy.... not sure why. I'm sure he's personally a great person but it seems he's always inconvenienced when we want to cash out our scratchers, no matter how much we tip. And yes it's good karma to tip if you win guys.

The Bar is not bad and the food is pretty good but the bathrooms are old and dated and if you are squeamish about odors..... they aren't the most amazing porcelain throne room you'll visit... not the worst but far from the best.

They seem very kind to regulars here but when you have a new face and you try and be kind you might get a cold shoulder.... maybe it's just me.... maybe I have a dislikeable face.

Anyway, if you're bringing kids.... just know they may learn some new words, they may be encumbered by cigarette smoke, and if bikers are in town perhaps they may even learn some anatomy (okay that only happened the one time, but it feels like it happens with semi regularity)

All in all I like the Dam Place and literally stop in every time we drive through.... for scratchers mostly.... and while I have never had a BAD time.... I've also never had an...

Have you ever read a story about a little town out in the Arizona desert that was so full of offbeat characters having fabulous adventures that you wished you could go there some day? Well, Beaver Dam is that place... and the heart, soul, and social scene are located right at the Beaver Dam Bar and it's sidekick, the Beaver Dam Station. The local "Dammers" are friendly folks that are always ready to sit and drink with you while filling you in on the town 's colorful and outrageously funny history. While you are getting to know everyone, you can play the Arizona lottery's scratcher tickets and scratch like you have fleas ! just don't forget to buy a few lotto tickets to take home for yourself, your family and your friends - because don't the winning lotto tickets always end up having come from some little town that no one has heard of??? Well, this is the place... for fun, good times and great memories - and maybe even those winning lotto numbers ! A must see for those that are in search of a new and unpredictable kind of place .... ANYTHING can happen in Beaver Dam - except Mike Bl**k leaving a tip! lol ;) just...

Walked and tried to order 2 beers after coming back from a funeral. Waiting for 7 mins while the bartender old woman was flirting with a customer. While still waiting 4 people walked in up to the bar, bartender totally dismissed me again and took those people’s beer order. Since she was getting a coors beer for them I said politely can I please have two coors light as well (since I was standing by the fridge) she said wait a minute. I said “I was here first” and said “you wait min”. So I walked out. Very rude and sexist. If you’re not local, white or gay don’t bother going here. I’m a good tipper so her loss and my gain cause I went next door to the dam store and got my beers cheaper with a lovely service from the young lady who...
