The restaurant is nestled within the plaza but surrounded by the bustling of shopping and some fun lights and billboards at night. It has a great menu, including some gluten free options, that seems to have a little something for everyone. We sat on the patio and found the heat lamp left us perfectly content with the cool December weather! I enjoyed the chicken avocado sandwich--highly recommend, an my sister had the tuna sushi roll and the spinach dip! Our server was attentive and friendly which made for a very good dinner ... read more
We came in for Monday night football and dinner. There are several seating options throughout the restaurant as well as a great outdoor patio and bar area. We elected to sit at the indoor bar.

Great upscale sports bar, the fish and chips are delicious as well as the cob salad and the cheese burger. Service is generally good, outdoor and indoor seating right in Tempe marketplace. Casual but slightly upscale, plays sports and has good music. Great place to grab lunch or dinner and get a drink.

Greeted immediately by friendly staff and promptly seated. Our server came straight away and took a drink order. Food arrived quickly, the queso seemed to be starchy to me and I did not love it while the chips were really salty. Two sliders from the happy hour menu and they were both quite tasty. I thought I needed ketchup for the beef burger but after taking a bite found it to be perfectly good without it. The chicken slider was very tasty as well as very crispy, which I loved. We arrived right before dinner hour so it... read more

This place rocks!!! Place was full, but bar seating was open. My group of 3 found seats right away, and were served right away as well. We all got the amazing burger w/ Gorgonzola, out of this world!!! Peach beers for the 3 of us as well. Can't wait to come back! 10/10

We truly appreciate your glowing review! It means a lot to our team at Thirsty Lion to know you had such a positive experience.
This is a fun place to hangout with friends. We come here once or twice a year for work events as well. Clean place, large dining room, large bar with lots of TVs. Service is decent. The rotating season food menus are something thatI look forward to and they do well with different food types.

I came here again for lunch with a friend. It was my birthday lunch. It wasn't that crowded which I loved. The waitress was really good. The service was pretty fast and friendly. I do wished they offered more vegan options since I'm a vegan. Please try the cauliflower bites they are insanely delicious!!
