The Cliff Room

Great this bar is open again. It’s nice to find someplace not too crowded and mainly a locals vibe. Friendly bartenders and pool tables to hang out.

I lived on the mesa for many years while attending college and working late nights. We would call the Cliff Room the "Office" and would go here to shoot pool and enjoy a couple rounds of Boilermakers. Now after the remodel it's really clean and less of the nonsense that happens at dive bars.

Heaviest pours ever. If you're into that. Decent beer choices. Solid whiskey and bourbon choices. If you're into leather faced cougars, they had alot.

This place was dope and the food and service was cronic. Definitely recommended

We had a blast night for karaoke hope you all enjoyed us New York folks.

Cliffy's been around for as long as I can remember...Aimie and Jennifer are awesome bartenders...good drinks...met some good people as well there..great vibes at this place

Excellent neighborhood bar out of the craziness of downtown. Friendly bartenders, good pours, reasonable prices. Two coin-op bar boxes - but these are Diamond tables that traditionally are maintained with top of the line Simonis felt, and you're apt to bump into some of the best pool players in town here. There's also a juke box and a dart board, plus cozy, intimate seating. Basic bar food but you can bring in food from outside, just make sure you're buying drinks.

It's like walking into the set of "Cheers". Except the bartenders are beautiful, but just as personable. Stop in and let a smoking red head make you one of her personal drinks. Watch out, she puts love in all her drinks. So drinkers, beware.

A good bar option outside of the touristy areas. Bourbon specials and quality t shirt souvenirs. Pool tables as well. When we went it smelled like weed so we had to leave prematurely.

A nice neighborhood bar that attracts people from all walks of life. Good pool tables (2) and karaoke three nights a week. Friendly attentive bartenders who will remember your name and what yur drinkin.

Nice bar, good for a quiet beer or watching the game. Recently renovated and looks nicer but still keeps all the old charm.

This is the Cliff you would want to jump off of. Divey with smoke pouring in from the cigarettes people light just outside the rear door, no food, basic drinks. There are more atmospheric dive bars if that's what you really crave.
