Review from Alie C.
Updated - 12/20/2011
I love this place. Even someone who isn't a Boston sports fan should like this place. Here's why:
Yes, they serve stiff drinks for low prices. Yes, they have Boston sports memorabilia. Yes, they are a dive bar. These are all givens.
What do they do that sets them apart you ask?
Today I participated in a holiday toy drive. You bring in a toy for less fortunate kids and you get a free drink. I can't think of anything more awesome for the holiday season. I didn't even really want the drink. I just was happy to have the opportunity to help someone in need.
Also, they play Sons of Anarchy every Tuesday night. I can't think of any other bar that does this, and I totally dig it.
Point in case, this bar is different. They do typical bar things, but also go above and beyond for their customers and community.
This is by far my favorite bar, ever, and I've been to quite a few. And I will put my money on the fact that you will love it too.1 Previous Review: Show all »

I never have a bad time here. Of course, Im a Boston sports fan so I may be biased.
This place is my Cheers. I can go in anytime of the week and the bartender knows my name, even if I havent been there in a long time. All the regulars are super nice too. The drinks are great, Sam Adams on tap, the food is greasy and delicious. I almost always go w/ my fiance (not a Boston fan) and they are always more than willing to change a TV to whatever game he wants.
And the breakfast....*drool*. They only serve it on the weekends during football season, it is SO GOOD. The simplest dishes, but they always hit the spot.
They also do specials during baseball season. Different hotdogs from different parks, split top rolls and Kayems for Sox/Yanks games, and lobster rolls. -
Review from Bonnie G.

Karaoke on the light rail right near Apache and Rural?
OK. I'm in.
Rolled with a huge group of people and proceeded to promptly perform my TLC's "Creep" (my voice is slowly disintegrating to Bea Arthur/ Jennifer Tilly/ That chick that sang "Bette Davis Eyes" status, ok?) and I just luuurve a wireless mike so I don't trip when I re-enact this song. At this point I really just should invest in a set of silk pajamas I perform this song so often.
But I digress.
Look, if you have a good group of people willing to embarrass yourselves, you're willing to subject yourself to odd come-ons at the bar, and you realize this is a tiny divey sports bar with a lot of old men, you'll be fine.
We even got to witness a bar brawl where a dude was kicked out!
The song "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic" was performed and the bar erupted into 30 women dancing and singing along Snoopy style to the lyrics, I felt I was in the 80s movies that promised spontaneous feel good crowd dancing!
When I saw a clown van of a thousand bro-dawgs and their assorted scary women crawl out arrive, it was def time to leave- yikes!
But I mean, karaoke, cheap drinks, a little patio, a decent bathroom, bar brawls, not a bad way to pass some time, no?Listed in: Tempe Temptations

This bar is less than a five minute walk from a friend's apartment so that alone gets a huge star. The drinks are great and cheap, the service is friendly, and my favorite is the music for the most part rocks!
I'm taking away one star because there are only ten or so bar stools and if it gets crowded here I'm sure it wouldn't be comfortable. -

Its only a 2 by dive bar standards, especially for that area of Tempe. The drinks are pretty much regular price all the time and its usually musical chairs with the (mediocre) staff. Plus, its an umpire hangout during Spring Training in March... seems like a lot of nerds are always hanging out in there rapping about Ben Affleck or Fenway Park. The "drive thru" window on the patio is convenient when you need a beer when you're out having a smoke.

While out in AZ for Spring Training (GO CUBS!) we ended up at Baer's Den probably 4 or 5 of our 7 night stay. This place is awesome! $2 Mighty on tap (think Fat Tire), what a f'n deal... We drank the crap out of that Mighty, Mighty! Anywho, I met some amazing folks over at Baer's Den and have stayed in touch with them since being there and plan on meeting them back out there in March 2010... Oh and let's not forget the stripper pole, it's a stripper pole made for people 5' or shorter... It's actually hysterical and the drunk men seemed to give it a whirl more then the ladies.
BTW, staff is super friendly too.... Food, I'd give it a "B". Great drink prices. The owner was super friendly. Overall, LOVE IT!
Thanks for the memories. See ya soon!Listed in: AZ Spring Training, for the…

Friday nights at the Baer's Den is a must. How can you beat $10 for all you can drink?

Great place for cheap drinks. This place is laid back and will let you bring your dog in. They have quality beers on tap for low prices. The location is conveniently located by the lightrail. I would give them 5 stars but they play 2 many damn Boston sports!

I love this place. I've spent many many nights the past four years at school here. You can't beat $10 dollar special on Fridays and they always have other deals going on. They also serve food which is good bar food; typical burgers, fries, wings etc. I def miss hanging out with my friends at this bar now that I'm down with school and wish I could back.

1. To compromise one's principles for personal gain.
I came here a year ago for Karaoke. They treated me like dirt and acted as if they had never heard of such a thing.Tonight some of my friends decided to go and said it was awesome. I decided to give it another chance. BIG mistake. The host of Karaoke night fits the above definition to a T. I am not one to make personal attacks but this guy kept promising me I would be next and NEVER played my song. I was a paying customer. Let me sing my damn song. Oh but the guy that slipped his tongue in his mouth got to sing before me even though he didn't show up until an hour after I did. I even was able to guess the song he played between each song: April March, Chick Habit. No one else knew that! He let fat pigs and sluts sing before me and I was there when there were only like 5 people in the bar. They paid him off to sing their crappy songs. Granted I'm not the best singer in the world but at least I can follow the lyrics and carry a tune! I will never, ever come here again. Three words: KISS MY ASS!! -

This place is a great dive bar near campus. The drinks are cheap and the atmosphere is very relaxed. I highly recommend it if you are just looking to get drinks with a few friends. I would not go to the Baer's Den if you are a fan of the Yankees, since the bar is a Boston bar.

Went here before Tempe Improv based on the reviews. LOVED IT! What a great dive bar! "Freaky" Doug (as he's known) was our bartender. He was awesome and gave us free shots. Cheap/free drinks and good service - what more do you need? We'll be back when we're in this area.

Stopped in for a weekend lunch and a beer. The bar tender was extremely friendly and the crowd of regulars all seemed to be having a great time! I ordered a blue moon and cheese burger and my husband ordered the ham and cheese. Both meals were solid. The Baer's Den is righ across from a new ASU student housing development and according to the bar tender, it's pretty interesting to watch the drunken coeds on Friday and Saturday nights go crazy. But for us older yelpers, there's no need to worry about them interrupting your bar experience. None of them are old enough to get in so you can enjoy your beers in peace.

This little Red Sox bar boasts all the great baseball decorations you would want as a Boston fan!! In addition, They have the BEST karaoke shows on Thursday and Saturday from 9-1 (or later). They have the greatest, friendliest group of bartenders on the planet as well. High accolades for this bar!!!

We randomly wandered into the Baers den a few months ago, and within a few weeks became regulars, the staff are friendly and will know your name after a few visits, this place has a "cheers" atmosphere, tons of flat screens for all kinds of sports viewing. Awesome place.

Great dive bar. $10 Fridays are the best. The best part may be that they don't seem to care if you play games of drink like speed quarters at tables.

the only reason this bar didn't get 5 stars is because its a boston bar and i hate boston with a firey passion. knowing this, you should conclude that this place ROCKS IN EVERY OTHER ASPECT, since it got the most stars allowable with the minus one for the boston garb haha. hubs and i went to this bar because they had satellite and so they had the ability to play all the baseball games when we were visiting az. they were happy to put on the angels game for us-yey! the bartender was a totally chill guy, even gave the hubs a smoke. and the cook ROCKED !! she was so sweet and she was an angels fan so she came out and kicked it with us. she even bought us each a shot!! and their prices are greeeeaaat! its a small place, with great food, and great people. you can't go wrong at baer's!

Stumbled in here after being so fed up with The Vine's Wednesday frat fiesta. Very nice bartender and a great local bar vibe. A good break from the overcrowded bar scene.
