Review from David G.
Austin, TX
5/19/2012
Saturday 12:30 a.m. You'll find cool, hip, modern-urban people here trying to have a good time, for the most part. You'll have to walk in, through and around the crowds to find your niche conversation with authentic, real minds ready to have an open talk with you. It takes a few moments to filter through the fake characters that are just there to be furniture in the scenery.
Topics on music festivals, your area of study, occupations, place of origin, vacation spots, existentialism, viewpoints on abortion, immigration, drug policy, healthcare and student loans all ran the gambit of speech. Each person giving their opinion, respectfully, for logical scrutiny, which is all fine and dandy for a prospering democracy.
The bartenders in the outside bar were a bit half-ass, trying to pose for the camera, figuratively speaking of course, so I didn't bother tipping them, since I'm use to Austin bartenders who hustle to get you your drink to earn that tip.
For Phoenix ,it seems like one of the top places to drink, potentially, with progressive, liberal, art-minded people. -
Review from Joseph V.

One of the few pub grub joints in town with character. Ask for seating in intimate dining rooms upstairs for better experience and service.
Pros: The only place in Tempe, or the Valley for that matter, that I go for Ostyers on the half shell that are affordable at $12 per doz. Clam chowder and Onion au gratin soup are solid plays at $4 per cup. Great apps are the mountain of Clam strips for $6 or Cod fish and chips for $10, which are perfect when you're craving something fried to go with your brew. A surprise is the Angus quality beef - try the $22 petite filet with sides.
Cons: Parking sucks. Bouncers checking IDs at the doors are annoying. Hipster crowd smokes like chimneys and makes outdoor patio unusable for dining at night. -

Gazillions of reviews for this place... and most of them just overflowing with praises........... but...... eh....... it was OKAY......
Please first understand that there is almost nothing Irish about this place, apart from the decor. Few Irish or UK beers and little Irish food, except for some of the seafood dishes.
I went for a pint of Guinness that came to the table filled well below the pint mark and still cascading...... so the bartenders aren't Irish, either (and lazy or untrained). My wife got some Mexican beer with a lime wedge shoved in the bottle, so I guess it's hard to mess that one up...... but I like my stouts done right... and enjoy Irish places because that's usually where you can get it done properly - not true, here...
We started with an appetizer of crab cakes...... and I'm really glad we held off on ordering dinner until we ate the appy...
I love crab cakes...... no... not true...... I LOVE crab cakes! These however, were just scooped and fried round balls of cheap crab meat mixed with soem breading. They were lousy. Not even just okay... they were lousy... boring... and we decided to go somewhere else for dinner.
The 3 stars, then, come purely from service and atmosphere! Our service was great... and the atmosphere is FANTASTIC! The patio is gianormous and wraps around the whole... block... and ic cigar friendly, good music, lively people, etc... As a pure drinking hole, I can see the appeal here...... Irish? No. Good seafood? No. Just a nice college bar with a great patio.Listed in: Cigar Patios in the Valley, Irish Pub Crawler

Tempe pub staple, as the Phoenix area goes, Casey Moore's is pretty good. The atmosphere is hipster, arty - but you won't be judged when you go. The patio is great during nice weather and the food is good enough. The wait staff always has a bit of a "holier than thou" attitude, but it won't distract from the overall experience. I met my husband here, so it holds a special place in my heart!

Mmm...came here the other night before a show at ASU Gammage. We had a group of six around a big round corner booth. Very comfortable and great laid-back tavern vibe. Our server was vibrant (literally - with purple hair and purple fingernails) and very friendly, we enjoyed her a lot. We ordered the blackened salmon Caesar salad and it was perfect. Juicy tender salmon with lots of blackened seasoning. The dressing was VERY good, not your average grocery store Caesar. Our friends had the fish and chips, the turkey crossaint, and the blackened salmon berry salad. Great reviews all around. The berries were amazing. The clam chowder was also very good.
Decent beer list as well and very reasonable prices - something like $3.50 for a pint of a good IPA or a Blue Moon. It wasn't even Happy Hour! Definitely looking forward to returning.
Only complaint is the same with many venues around Phoenix: the patio was way too smokey to even consider sitting out there. -

Upon my first visit to CMOH, I liked the casual ambience and the outdoor patio. The oysters on the half shell were exceptional, especially with the house-made fresh (and potent!) horseradish. Kinda wakes up your sinuses and makes you say "Boy... Howdy!" This is Japanese wasabi's American cousin driving a monster truck through your uvula!
However, there were some misses with the food on the rest of our order. The chipotle hot wings were way too subdued, although the texture was decent. I was hoping for a spicy wing that would grab me by the gooch--alas, these did not. The fried mushrooms were a tragedy. Crispy and breaded on the outside, but when you bit into them they turned to mush.
I'd come back for the beer, the interesting crowd, the great outdoor patio or rustic bar interior. I'm advising you order carefully though. Maybe their sandwiches are the big draw (besides the face-smacking, face-hugging oysters). -

I like Casey Moore's, it's a cool place, and a good option for lunch and late night.
For lunch, the service typically takes forever. I've had 1.5-2 hour lunches because it's painfully slow. The food is pretty good and the drinks are strong.The best part of Casey Moore's is the vibe and the atmosphere. It's very laid back and a nice place to hang out.
I don't think it's the cleanest of places...One night I saw a cockroach in the tiled area between the bathrooms, which was nasty. There's definitely a dingy element to it, which isn't really my thing but maybe enhances the vibe.
It's worth checking out if you're in Tempe and tired of Mill. -

I go to Casey's every time I travel to the area for Spring Training. Not sure why I like it so much, but it works for me. I love that its basically an old house with a huge patio. The patio is a great place to hang with friends. I also enjoy the small bar area inside which doesn't try to be anything its not.
Look, the food isn't that great, the prices are just fair, but the location is pretty unique (especially in chain haven Tempe).
Grab a pint & stool & ENJOY! See ya next Spring Training Casey Moores. -

Call me an equal opportunity pee-er, if you will, but if an establishment is going to have a super cool fountain Blarney Stone for boys to pee on, you should either add one for the girls too, or frankly, not kick me out for taking advantage of such a novelty. That is all.

If you're going to go here for Happy Hour on a Friday night, I suggest going early. We got there after 6:30, hoping to grab a table or seats at the bar & make our orders quickly before HH ends at 7. Well of course the bar seats & every table was taken. All of the waiters/waitresses seemed so rushed & overwhelmed. We finally found the hostess & asked for a table for three. As she went off to look for a table, another hostess came up to us. I specifically stated that we were there for HAPPY HOUR. And she was like WELL ARE YOU EATING? I had to make this point twice. Then the first hostess came back & said she could seat us upstairs (I didn't even know they had a second floor!).
Well, bad idea. First, the decor upstairs was a lame attempt at making the Oyster House look the least bit classy. Then, the waitress told us happy hour is only available downstairs. Wow. After a second look for an available table downstairs, we decided to just stay on the second floor & pay the regular price for oysters ($12 per dozen versus $10 per dozen during HH). The service upstairs was super slow. The waitress wasn't even paying close attention when we made our orders because she definitely forgot my friend's beer. The good thing was she comped it since he waited for like over half an hour. The oysters tasted extra fishy that day, not like the first time I tried them here. I lost my appetite for anything else after that. My boyfriend's solution to the fishy-ness: mask the taste with horseradish & lots of Tabasco!1 Previous Review: Show all »

Oyster House in the Desert?!? Say whaaaa?
Believe it or not the oysters are pretty good. Personally, I'm not a fan of the raw oyster's but I love their rendition of Oyster's Rockafeller. I think there lunch specials are also another bright spot of this establishment. If you add them on their facebook, they sometimes post their specials.
Aside from their food, their drink selection is rather simple. They don't really offer anything that I can't get anywhere else. The happy hour is not really mind-blowing either. I think a dollar off drafts and specials on wells if I remember correctly.
Really, what you are paying for is the ambiance. I get that it's historic and it's got an irish pub type theme, but I didn't really think it was anything special.
Oh, I forgot to mention, if you do decide you visit (and if you are male) if you have to use the blarney stone restroom on the outside patio. It's basically a simulated rock fountain that you pee on. Now that I think about it, I guess it sounds more fun after a few pints... -

Love drinking at Casey's in the evening. Although their drink specials are not really special at all, you can't beat the atmosphere, the string lights, the crowd. I've also eaten here a few times - their clam chowder was really good, and their build-your-own burger is seriously perfect. However, service is REALLY spotty. During the day I've had pretty good service. When I'm drinking there at night the service is really good too.
But there was one time I came with a few friends and I had, I kid you not, the absolute worst service I've ever had. Our server took 10 minutes to even greet us, and then she was downright rude to us, snappy, unhelpful. I always try to give servers the benefit of the doubt, as I am one. I tried being polite to her and still got rude, short responses. My boyfriend and I were eating (the meal took forever to come out) and our two friends were just drinking. Halfway through the meal, I swear to God, the woman must have bumped a few lines, because she came back weirdly animated and chipper, although it was super fake. Still could not flag her down for extra condiments for the life of us.. she would literally glance at us as she walked by and turn away if we waved like she was ignoring us purposefully.
Then she asked my friends if they wanted another round. They both politely declined. She made some inane comment about being on the liquid diet and came back with two beers for them a few minutes later. We all said OK cool, I guess she got us a free round. WRONG. She charged them both for two beers despite their explicit "No, thank you's." We were too irritated by this point to dispute so we just left her a crappy tip and got out of there. This place would have four-five stars by my rating if they just made sure their servers were halfway decent human beings. -

Based soley on the food - 4 stars !! The service was less than stellar because the waiter looked like he was hungover and not very attentive. YOU MUST GET THE OYSTERS ROCKEFELLER. They take about 40 minutes but well worth the wait. My and my better half shared a steak sandwich with garlic cheese fries, it was way more than enough food. The total bill - $23.00 including a beer anda soda ! Love me some phoenix!
The atmosphere is very laid back, outside seating as well as indoor restaurant and bar options. Smoking outside which is kind of gross but I guess its customary here and im just jaded because you can't smoke anywhere here in California. -

Best oysters I have ever had in the middle of the desert! Actually, I would venture to say they are better than some places I have been to on the coast.
Being in town for work I sometimes eat alone and sit at the bar...the real mark of a top notch establishment is a good bar staff. This place has it for sure. They were quick to get drinks, got my food orders spot on, and were fun to talk to. It was especially hilarious when some foreign students came in (I believe french) and began to hit on one of the regulars. Considering how drunk they already were they got cut off after one drink...and of course left shortly after.
The restaurant is a bit off on a side street in what looks like a converted over house...so it has a very relaxed and cozy feel. They also have a huge outdoor patio area. On top of the amazing oysters I had I also had a tuna melt sandwich. It was very good, but was open faced...I expected two slices of bread to make it into a full sandwich. Not a big deal but a little odd. -

I love this place, the service at the bar is always amazing and no matter what day it is there's always people buzzing around! I had some disappointing crab cakes that put a bad taste in my mouth, even though they say homemade I tasted something that was caught in a aqua duct. On the plus side I love the calamari rings and LOVE THE OYSTER ROCKEFELLER, great group fun, and soooo fresh! I've done lunch here and I had the meatloaf that was on spec that day and was in love, the flavor and complementing mash potatoes and veggies were a perfect match and I'm glad I listened to my bartender. I couldn't decide because I was hungover and this meatloaf and a Harp did the trick. Hippie sandwich is also on the top of my list and will always be my go-to meal at Casey Moore's.
Patios are open and have enough room for a larger group to meet and outdoor bar that is always open during the night, serious door people though, so don't forget your ID. I hear there's live music sometimes but I have never been. Great surrounding area, great local shops and walking distance to Mill Ave. -

Yelp, your mobile app has taken me home again!
It's nice to have a spot that has not significantly changed in the 20+ years that I have been a patron...even tho nearly 20 years has passed between my last visit and my most recent.
Casey Moore's Oyster House patio was the spot one of my instructors selected for the lecture portion of his class. Every Tuesday, from 2-3:30 PM, we sat at a table and discussed designing costumes/lights/sets/sound for ASU theatre productions. Between the munchies and the black and tans, our discussions became quite animated and we certainly considered more creative design concepts. It was quite cool to be able to have class and a beer (or 3) at the same time.
Fast-forward from 1989 (my first experience at Casey Moore's) to 2011 (my return to Tempe for work).
The food is still outstanding, the location is easily accessable, the atmosphere is laid back and comfortable. The prices, unfortunately, are a bit higher than other places. -

My husband came here with some co-workers and really liked the food. So we decided to give it a try when we came to Gammage for "Wicked". Great menu - lots to choose and great service. We were there about 11:15 AM on a Sunday and the bar was already full!
Only negative for me - was it still smelled a bit smoky inside and the patio although spacious and very pet friendly (love that!) still smoky and no appeared to be smoking! That is just a personal preference for me. -

Ehhhhh. When my favorite part of the meal is the salad, there's a problem with a seafood restaurant.
I got the spinach and berries salad which was actually REALLY delicious, I ate every bite of it and I'm glad that I did because the crabcakes I ordered were horrible. So bad in fact that I sent them back. The clam chowder my friend ordered was kind of watery and might have had a good flavor, but it wasn't even that hot. Blech.
Other friend got some shrimp dish and she really couldn't say much about it except "meh". I was really dissapointed that we came here instead of one of the other places in Phoenix/Tempe because I've been here for work before and had much better food. I definitely won't be back next time I'm there for work!Listed in: Hooked on Phoenix

This review comes from a guy who is there for the food and not the bar. With that out of the way, I really like this place. The service can be a little slow some days, but with those stairs, I can completely understand that. They do seafood right out here and I've only had better when I'm near a body of water. People who complain about seafood in AZ should stop and think about that for a second.
I admit that the smoke gets to me sometimes and it's annoying to stand through the door and wait for someone to wait on you. It seems like a crap shoot when someone will see you, but maybe I'm wrong and they have radios ready.
Personally, I have really enjoyed their oysters, clam strips, fish and chips, etc. Hasn't made me sick and the prices for seafood isn't bad compared to the more upscale seafood places.
If you're there for the food, go early. If you want drinks and maybe some food, go later. -

I don't go to Casey's to eat, I mostly go over the weekends or late night. I have had the chicken fingers, which were tasty. Their drink prices are alright, they do have nice beer specials and some interesting shot combos.
On Friday's and Saturday's the place is overrun by hipsters. It's hard to get through the crowd at some points. Thankfully there are two bars, one inside and one outside. It can also get pretty loud, there is music playing and a lot of cigarettes being smoked. The music ranges from Michael Jackson to Mumford and Suns and everything else in-between. -

Wow...what an eclectic group of patrons at the bar during the middle of the day. My first time there, so not sure if it is always like that. Food was good and service was good.....just never heard so many loud talking f bombs dropped by an older crowd sitting at the bar talking about Vietnam. I was a little embarrassed that I took my friend there, but that's not Casey Moore's fault.

Casey's is always one of our stops when out drinking on Mill. Love the bar staff, most of them have been there for years.
A great place to day drink (when the weathers nice of course).
If youve only ever drank at Casey's, you NEED to come back for lunch/dinner one day. Their food is stellar.
Faves include: Hippie sandwich (I love that they use pesto as mayo), Potato salad, Fried Zucchini, Chipotle hummus, Reuben, Classic club, Croissant sandwich, and finally their New England clam chowder. -

We go because its outside and has great atmosphere. We don't go for the food. The menu is really hit and miss. Casey's is a great place to have a beer and talk for a while. Lots of hipsters and college kids. Fun people watching.
Service is slow but the place is usually understaffed and packed. If you want a drink fast order at the bar pay cash. If you plan on hanging out for way open a tab with a waitress but know it will take you a while to get a beer, get your food and get your check. If you hate smokers know that the patio is full of smoke. I've done study groups here for classes and it has a very lazy feel in the afternoon. great place to kill an afternoon reading a book. -

Atmosphere here is perfect. We sit outside all the time, scoop out a spot by the heater, since it's usually night when we get there. They have beer specials late night which in my book is perfect.
I was here yet again with some amazing people the other night... we're that table that never stops laughing and is always having a good tme.
The food... ok so I've only eaten the food here once, and I ordered the fish & chips... it says best in town. Not the greatest tasting food ever I was incredibly hungry and ate most my fish, and all the cole slaw. I must admit I am a used to really amazing fish & chips moving to AZ from San Francisco and always being in Malibu. But considering I'm now in the middle of the desert they were pretty legit.
I would say go here and drink your night away. I love people watching here and sitting outside in the trees I feel like I'm in a secret spot where you could possibly see a unicorn. -

Gosh this place is great for beer drinkers! Learned what a black velvet was here. Amazing but I don't know how often I'll be able to get this drink at other places! Not a lot of places have pear cider on tap, that are also affordable ;P By the way, a black velvet is pear cider and guinness. Oh man that was delicious. I could never really drink guinness on it's own, it's much too heavy for me. But paired with that light and fruity addition...so good!
Came back Sunday afternoon so that I could try the oysters rockefeller before I headed back home. They were just okay, not as amazing as what my friend made them out to be. Though, I was completely surprised when my bill came and it was 8 and change. The oysters rockefeller alone should've been 8, but to include a beer too??? So.that.must.mean. ... HAPPY HOUR ALL DAY ON SUNDAY??? :O!!! -

Casey's totally transports you from being on campus all day into completely forgetting about anything that happened on campus that day. It's a great little hang out for the college scene. Very close for those on the west side of campus, so close a group of us sometimes heads over between classes or at the end of a rough day to grab a drink and some grease.
So needless to say I have had a few of the items on the menu however, I haven't found something I really, really like. I've had the tuna bacon melt (overkill-too much grease), fries (yum, they put a sprinkle of parmesan), fried clams (good), turkey croissant (okay), zucchinis and mushrooms (good).
I think the patio really makes this place great. It is fun and welcoming. You could hang out here all day (in great weather that is). They allow smoking, kinda sucks, but most people are respectful and blow up rather than at you. If you go during peak hours (weekends/nights) you might not be able to get a table as most people make a looooooong night of Casey's and usually stay put. Cheers!!! -

Came here for the first time on Sunday afternoon, and loved it. Ordered strictly off the appetizer menu so we could try oysters, clam strips, hummus, and crab cakes - and all four were amazing. Best crab cakes I've ever had. Nice beer selection, good mixed drinks.
Also enjoyed the layed-back patio setting. People brought their dogs. Nice casual atmosphere with friendly servers. Can't wait to go back! -

I have never had anything on the menu that I didn't think was 5 stars. Keep in mind this is an old building and the owner keeps the decor the same no matter what century it is! Know that your going to an old neighborhood pub and it's all good.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Casey Moore's is one of few places in downtown Tempe were I can relive my ASU glory days, without remembering how long it's been since they passed me by. It's probably the only spot around Mill Avenue where I can go to on a Saturday night and not feel like I'm too old to be there. If it's not too crowded, and isn't too hot outside, it may be the perfect bar to relax and have a drink.
Maybe it's because the bar is in middle of a neighborhood, or maybe the koi pond, or the "fire pit," or all the wood tables, but when you drink on the patio, it feels like you're sitting in a big backyard. If there were a pool, it would be the younger single me's dream backyard. Casey Moore's also has pretty good selection of beers on tap. What more do you need?
It's been a while since I've eaten at Casey Moore's, but the food is pretty good. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to eat with a big party in hidden room on the upper level. There's two converted bedrooms you'd never know about unless you got up there. It was a pretty fun private dinning experience. The staff was very attentive and engaging. They even told a few stories about how the second room has haunted. I'm not much of a believer in ghost stories, but still entertaining to hear. We must have been up there for at least two hours before going outside to have some drinks in the crowd.
