Dog Run Saloon

An unusual change from the standard.....not the establishment itself...nor its offerings... no, the character of Dog Run is found in its clientele. Rough, certainly not standard preppy country club(nor substandard CC either), but somewhere between rough cowboy and rough construction worker. And to add to the allure, everybody was friendly and respectful....almost damonrunyonlike without the melancholy. The barmaid DaCinda(sp?) was attentive and gracious, and the menu reasonable. We enjoyed their Friday Fish Fry (cod, 4pcs with fries & coleslaw $18) on our Monday visit...could've been Tuesday thru Thursday as well, and yes, on the weekend too. Friday Fish Fry is apparently a 7 day deal. Very tasty on our Monday, and I'm sure just as good on the other 6 days. Now our visit may have been unusual, and not indicative of the usual Dog Run ambiance.... I hope not. My Dog Run experience enhanced Apache Junction. It added to the color of the community. I hope your experience does too.

This is the most fun I’ve had at a bar in arizona ever. It’s a more GenX bar. Most are boomer bars or ya know like really elderly calm types. The Dj was fun and his wife bartends and sings. The whole place has such a fun vibe. We didn’t eat tonight but we will next time. And we will be back 3 days a week till April. If you a GenXer looking for a spot I’d suggest you stop by. LGBTQ friendly and like most GenX spots it’s a “ we don’t care you are, just how ya act “… Loved it and can’t give 10 starts so I gave 5
