The Duce

Okay the chicken pot pie will.
Wait for it.

BLOW YOUR BALLS OFF!

You may be wondering, women don't have balls. Correct. Having said that your lady balls will be blown off

Okay get the idea. Atmosphere is very fun and salsa dancing on Thursday night is a blast.

Do yourself a favor and come to The Duce ASAP!

Such a cool establishment in downtown phoenix. Really unique food options and good drinks. The place was huge and had games like cornhole and ping pong. The bartender was so awesome and sweet too, I think her name was Char maybe. Will definitely be back!

We enjoyed every time we've eaten here prior to going to concerts at the Footprint and AZ Financial centers. I've only ordered the chicken pot pies as they're the boom. Greg has had the hatch mac and cheese muffins, pulled pork, coleslaw, and garlic mashed potatoes, and last the skillet Hatch green chili mac and cheese.

Place is good food is good, just the service was a little to slow. Still i would come back.

Valet parking is the easiest, which is free. They had some games there, something to do while waiting for the food. Great atmosphere, very retro. Creative food and drink menu. Order at the register, and they bring you the food. There's a separate bar. Brisket sundae was amazing! So much food even for the small size (16oz)! Great for a group of friends. Would come back again.

Edited review- came back in and talked to Charmagne about hosting our daughter’s event. They were so gracious and made it right. Thanks, Duce! We love it here!

We wanted to hold our daughter’s rehearsal dinner here: spoke to someone in person and was told they’d get back to us…Nothing. Then we called and left a message…nothing back. Then emailed…nope. So sad because we really love the vibe here.

I was here on business. They hosted a private event for a conference I was in Phoenix to attend. With that disclaimer, the Duce was a lot of fun. It feels like a great place to go with friends before or after or even during a game. The music was fun. The drinks were fun. Everything about the Duce screams great time. Fairly certain I am not the typical demographic, but in would still have fun here.

This is easily one of the coolest spots I’ve been to. It’s a huge indoor/outdoor area with ping pong, corn hole, a boxing ring, and so much more! We were there on a Sunday evening and it was pretty quiet, no huge crowd! We had the Mac and cheese bites and they did not disappoint! Would recommend.this is definitely one of those places you need to see!

Attended a private event here, and the food and service were top notch. The bar tenders were on top of it, and the entire experience was amazing. I just can't get past the name. Small mental inconvenience for a good time though:). I'll definitely be back with friends.

Great spot! Only complaint was that they weren’t serving food because “too many people had put in food orders”. Had to leave and get food from somewhere else. Drinks were great though and they had corn hole out which was fun.

This place was cool and fun but they were out of gravy and some other stuff that was disappointing. Possible live music after 9pm

Fun atmosphere with delicious food. The slaw here is really good and takes the food to another level. The Reubens are basically a brisket slider with the slaw on top and the combination is delicious. Definitely upgrade your regular brisket with the slaw. Get some Reubens with a side of baked beans and some extra slaw and your set!

Much obliged to you indeed for making my supper at your fantastic eatery so charming. The food was heavenly, the help was magnificent, the mood was cool, thus significantly more! Battle on, for the two of us! Good tidings!

Cold beer. Very interesting/eclectic menu. Chicken pot pie and chicken sliders were good as was corn. Beans were okay. More things to try. Coming back!

Thursday Latin Night is the best, it doesn’t matter if you’ve never dance on your life you’re going to have a good time!

Love the atmosphere! Massive footprint in and outdoor. They were getting ready for a wedding and had a banyshower while we were there. Sat out side not a lot of shade available. Bartender was tentative very friendly. Food was decent recommend the pot pie it's delicious!

Would have been nice for the hostess to direct us to where we order food seeing as there seems to be absolutely no table service in the back area when they have their dance party going on. The staff doesn't seem to care about the establishment at all. The way to the back from the front reaked of urine. Parking is absolutely horrendous. Don't think I'll be back to try it. Thursday night was really that hard for you to handle?

I loved the decor and the swing vibe but was not over all impressed with the rest of the experience. Parking is terrible, had to park off Buchanan street. There are no hosts to seat you or servers to wait on you. My bf wanted the rueben which is brisket instead of corned beef. He got Mac and cheese muffins and they are kinda weird. I had the chicken pot pie jar and it was okay but it had a weird seasoning that might have also been in the muffins. I wanted to like the food but it's just not very normal. That and 2 cokes, $52 with tip. Honestly, we said Texas roadhouse would have been better for the price.

Went here for a work party it was a blast, good selection of food and alcohol. Tight small bathroom though.

The supper was flavorful and heavenly. I feel constrained to let everybody know that the staff had treated me with demonstrable skill and appreciation. They were both hilarious and accommodating of their clients. Many thanks, folks!

We had our wedding here and everything was perfect. Drinks, food, staff - literally everything. Highly suggest - let them put everything together for you. We let them do their job and this was hands down the best party I've thrown due to them!

My wife and I went on a Saturday night and there was an excellent funk cover band playing. They played forever and kept the party going. Overall the place is huge and has a lot of options and many different bars. It's a cool place to go with a group because there's lots of space.

Beauty space, love the vibes, live music, picture perfect. I just didnt like the menu the food wasnt tasty for the price.shredded Meat sliders.and mason jared. Food. Wings, frys, or something else.

Thursdays night is a latin salsa or bachata classes and after the class (very short) they have a socialism night where supposed every body dance with every body, but I notice even people is very friendly, they don't like to dance with new students, because obviously doesn't dance like them (very professional) some people when asked to dance, they ask if you know how to dance and if you don't they just say ok thanks, and don't dance with you. For new people feels like they already have their people to dance and 3 steps of class is not enough to get the level the rest are requiring to be part of the group.
Besides, music is very old version of salsa and bachata.

Ok, I used to be a regular between brunches and diamondback pre-game. I always sent people here for the fresh-squeezed/handmade drinks. It used to be a fun place to come dance. As of my most recent visit they have eliminated the dance floor and made the burlesque show the exclusive thing you have to pay for during prime hours 10-midnight. No place to dance and now pay for the show that used to be free. It was very awkward. Also why the place was pretty much empty on a Friday night. It's unfortunate. The sax player was cool, only improvement IMO.

Good service. Great food. Found out about it from Diners, drive ins and dives. Parking is limited get there early. No need to dress up.

Salsa dancing night is Thursday & you're going to want to come to see this.
The best part of the bachata music that plays & makes you feel like you're the best dancer in the world.
Stop by & order a classic drink they serve like a Manhattan.
I'll be back for a proper food review when I get to eat here.

Super fun spot! Drinks taste a little watered down but we still had an excellent time. Band was on point!

Had a really good time here! Live band, people are friendly. Did i say live band! They brought the hits!

The atmosphere was spot on for a Friday night. Unfortunately the food feel short. By the time we received our sliders they were room temperature and it was 40° that night. Other than that I might have to give it another chance next time as the food had a good taste, just missed that fresh out of the oven taste.

Oh my goodness I’m in love with The Duce. Went to a birthday party there. Food and drinks were delicious. Things for little ones to play on. Had our own space. No cons here.

I honestly had the weirdest experience at a restaurant/bar in my entire life here. The place seems like a fun environment with multiple spots to order food or dessert or drinks, and stuff to do like games, it's a huge open space that seems like it would be a great time.except the staff literally hid from me and my partner? We were there well before closing but it just felt like they were waiting for everyone to leave. Gave me the vibe we weren't welcome. Got an overpriced basic drink and won't be coming back. I'd rather give my money to a place that doesn't make customers feel alienated or like they're bothering the staff for showing up. The bartender was nice but there was literally no one else around to order from. So odd. Would have loved to try the food.

Eclectic, fun, great ambience. Foods good and reasonable. Drinks seem high, but freshly are pressed fruit juice and well worth the price. Bartenders are amazing and must be sore after work! But the effort is part if the experience!

Went on the recommendation of a friend. Was not exactly what they described. Evidently things have changed since the last time they were in. But a decent bar nonetheless

Way cool place with lots to do and see. Good food and good distance between tables. Every staff we came in contact with were courteous. Staff masked and on top of cleaning tables. Look forward to go again.

I handing been The Duce in probably a decade. But we went twice this weekend! First to the Rock n’ Roll Burlesque Show—fun—on Friday and then Saturday night to see Soul Power—amazing!

Fun an friendly staff. Cool venue. We’ll make it a regular haunt!

Amazing food, drink variety with a good time "down home" feel to it. Misters will keep you cool and there are some engaging outside spaces to relax in.

Love how your inside but feel like your outside. COVID has taken a toll on this place, but they opened half of the place up so far. Now we need to get back to normal-acy and open up the entire place lol

Such a fun venue! Rock and roll burlesque, saxophone, not to mention great craft cocktails and fun delicious food. They even had valet parking, which is a great bonus when you are dealing with messy downtown parking! I definitely recommend checking this place out!

Great night. Nigel Farage was fantastic. Place was packed. Very nice place and big. Well put together and organized venue.

Loud, cold, wet. Was confused about seating, ordering, and non-alcoholic drink options. Triple D was too "generous" when Guy F.visited. The food was not great. Very disappointed.

I walked in and sat down for 10 minutes before anyone told me that I had to walk to the trailer for food. The drink and food menu were overpriced. My food had more grease than a mechanic shop. Also, There were tip jars everywhere, but no service.

Rustic, chic, fun. A good place for a drink and food with friends. The alcoholic drinks are a little expensive if you order the big size, which comes in a large mason jar. Stick to the small size drinks to keep the bill to a minimum.

So much fun. Easy crowd. Very diverse, everyone there wants to have fun. Great drinks, DJ and live band! Non-judgmental, be yourself here!

Awesome place! Salsa night is fantastic. But Salsa night should be done on Saturdays and last until 4am. Its become the main show, why not take the next step.

Came in from out of town to do some social dancing and The Duce did not disappoint. Large dance floor with plenty of people and a great DJ makes for a great night. Also, the lesson at the beginning of the evening was spot on. The instructors were very professional and kept the lesson going while also taking their time to explain the steps. I would definitely do Thursday night Salsa here again.

This place was absolutely perfect. They had entertainment of all kinds from music to dancing, ping pong to corn hole and dancers to great bartenders! The food. Icing on the cake! Very cool. Both temperature and environment! Thank you!

Man! What an unbelievable experience. Frankie was amazing. Super outgoing. Made you feel real comfortable and was just all around good vibes! Give her all your money. Tell her Jordan sent you and tip her $20. Keep being yourself Frankie, you’re shining

Food is ok. I’m a French fries girl, and they have no French fries: (LOL. Live entertainment is great! My husband and I went yesterday (5/8/21) and they had this live band named “Soul Power”. They were AMAZING! Such good vibes! The bartender also knows how to make a bomb @$$ margaritas!

The drinks are amazing, the only reason they are getting a 3 is because we waited 25 minutes in line behind 2 other people. I understand that juicing you fruit is something you like to do or is a good show to patrons. However it slows down your bar staff and is inefficient and half the people just wanting to get their drinks. All the people behind us were complaining about the wait time also.

Great atmosphere, great good and drinks. Highly recommended when you're in Phoenix. Will definitely come back when we're in the area again.mac n cheese muffin bites are delicious!

This is a vintage up to date local hang out with antique furniture bought from different states in the USA. Great atmosphere and hang out. The ambiance is exactly what I love! Thanks for the tour!

I got the brisket sundae and was very impressed that it was literally made in a sundae cup! My drink was called the Cherry Sidecar and was very delicious and looked amazing! Definitely five star for presentation!

Great place. Food was excellent and the drinks are fantastic.

Didn't actually grab fruit. Just seeing if it was real.haha
