Beaver Dam Bar

3 stars? What's up with that? Well I decided to review The Dam Bar and the Dam Station with a review that might actually help people who Google Arizona Lottery and see that this place offers events and think "well that could be fun let's make a day out of it."First off 3 stars isn't bad, it's not good it's just the middle of the road and here is why....It's for the most part a locals hang out. If you've driven through Beaver Dam you see it's not a huge place and so more often then not there is locals there, and bikers, and the Lottery runners who drive down from SoUT and further to get their scratches (yup I'm one of them), to have a cocktail without the local UT Bishops and Relief Society shaking their heads in disapproval, or to listen to small venue outside live local music which happens with varying regularity here.So that sounds pretty awesome right? Well here's the rub..... any event we tried to go to unless we showed up at 8 am there is no where to sit and enjoy it as there are little chair cities erected early and stay all day, so while the music rocks unless you're literally going to give it the day maybe don't plan on being super comfortable.The Station is a smaller convenience store and while they have decent prices for an off the freeway stop, there is no gas station so... no fuel... you may have to wait to get in if the power ball is up over a couple hundred million and you'll wait in line for the register..... if you're cashing a scratcher most of the staff is SUPER friendly but one of them seems to just dislike the world and can come across grouchy.... not sure why. I'm sure he's personally a great person but it seems he's always inconvenienced when we want to cash out our scratchers, no matter how much we tip. And yes it's good karma to tip if you win guys.The Bar is not bad and the food is pretty good but the bathrooms are old and dated and if you are squeamish about odors..... they aren't the most amazing porcelain throne room you'll visit... not the worst but far from the best.They seem very kind to regulars here but when you have a new face and you try and be kind you might get a cold shoulder.... maybe it's just me.... maybe I have a dislikeable face.Anyway, if you're bringing kids.... just know they may learn some new words, they may be encumbered by cigarette smoke, and if bikers are in town perhaps they may even learn some anatomy (okay that only happened the one time, but it feels like it happens with semi regularity)All in all I like the Dam Place and literally stop in every time we drive through.... for scratchers mostly.... and while I have never had a BAD time.... I've also never had an amazing one either.Parking: Dirt and gravel parking lot, no designated parking grid so you may or may not fit in what looks like a space and some people peeling out can shoot gravel at your car.... so.... if that concerns you park further away and walk over.Kid-friendliness: There is road treats and juice to be had at the Station.... there is also smoking, drinking, swearing and the occasional mentally unstable person hanging around the bathrooms..... bring your kids just maybe keep a good eye on them.Wheelchair accessibility: I wouldn't call this place wheelchair friendly while their doors meet code I've had a few people say their chair won't get into the station door, the bathrooms are super wheelchair friendly but can be navigated, and the bar is hit or miss being able to get around chairs and table set up.

Old fashioned stop for lottery tickets. Staff is friendly and reminds me of one of those home town bar and stores that haven't changed for years. Seems popular with locals and have heard they host some great bands!

Walked and tried to order 2 beers after coming back from a funeral. Waiting for 7 mins while the bartender old woman was flirting with a customer. While still waiting 4 people walked in up to the bar, bartender totally dismissed me again and took those people’s beer order. Since she was getting a coors beer for them I said politely can I please have two coors light as well (since I was standing by the fridge) she said wait a minute. I said “I was here first” and said “you wait min”. So I walked out. Very rude and sexist. If you’re not local, white or gay don’t bother going here. I’m a good tipper so her loss and my gain cause I went next door to the dam store and got my beers cheaper with a lovely service from the young lady who works there.

One of my more favorite bars, the lawnmower races are always a good time.

Super cute hidden gem right off of I-15! When we were there multiple food trucks and vendors were set up. If you’re traveling to/from Nevada/Utah it’s a quick stop for Arizona lottery tickets too!

The boyfriend and I stayed here during the holidays in 2021, if you don't stay for the entire time that you prepaid for you get absolutely no refund for the days you don't stay there. Because of that I will never go back. Never had any other place do that and I won't visit a place again that did. Pretty shady to not get refunded for days you didn't even stay there.

Powerball tickets and scratchers! BUT, don't buy scratchers in the bar itself but from convenience store itself! Been buying for years and all my winners come from the machine inside store not bar.!😁😎You're welcome!!😊😊

Drinks are fairly priced and it's a very nice and friendly place. We really like the crowd and 'Taco Tuesday' is fun and 'Wheezin Geezers' were also a fun singing duo😉

The best "dam dive" to have an escape from what ails.

A unique & friendly locals bar open to everyone of legal drinking age. Very easonable drink prices. Location includes a pool table and foosball table. Frequent live music and karaoke nights. The bar is non smoking, but a smoking room is provided inside the establishment.

To all of you one and only fans. At least this bar serves mixed drinks. Comparable to the one and only. Its small, not much to look at, one one pool table; I think, but I would rather hang out here knowing I won't get shot or punched by some random 20 something bone head because I bumped his girl on the dance floor 😉.

This place is off the freeway north of interstate 15. You have to get off at exit 9 and go north and once you get into Beaver Dam, they are on the left side of the road. They have a reputation for selling winning tickets and mega millions Powerball and the Pick 3 lottery games.

I have always loved this bar. It has recently undergone some renovation work. It now has air conditioner! There is an eclectic group of locals who frequent this establishment. You can enjoy karaoke, (or not). Live bands and a yearly 3 day jam featuring live music, lawn mower races, food, vendors and camping out during event. A must go for best dive bar ever.

Well I did not see a bar at that location, so I guess that's just the name of the place. But is is a little hidden gem where you can go buy lottery tickets at and not have to wait in line for hours . The cashier was Super , very friendly and nice and helpful with information on how to purchase the lottery tickets. They had a little groceries in the store and it was a little Dusty in there and there were tables outside where you can sit and just catch a breather or something. All in all services great fast we were in and out and on our way thanks Beaver Dam bar.

Great local place. Not upscale, but totally home. People are great and the owner is a really great man who always tries to ensure that everyone has a great time and gets what they need. Perfect place for Nevadans and Utahans to get lottery tickets. Say hi to Bill.
