Lake Havasu Dive Bar #2- Desert Martini
The Desert Martini2120 McCulloch Blvd N
Lake Havasu City AZ Phone
(928) 855-1818
Rating: On a scale of 1 – 4 shots
Overall- 4 Shots
Atmosphere- 4 Shots. This is a very very tiny bar. Reminds me of something you would see in an Old Western Town. It looks like everything has been up since the 80’s and will remain that way until the place closes. In fact it looks like the decade may have climber up here and died. Neon Signs hanging from the walls, a lone fish tank with the most random assortment of larger fish in it with a replica of a very large swordfish handing next to it, an old school popcorn maker... Basically any random thing you can imagine has found a home here at the Martini. Everything may be random, and yet it all fits together.
Local Crowd- 4 shots. This place had one of the younger more normal crowds I’ve seen in Havasu. Always packed, yet seems to empty out later in the night leaving the place nice and open to play the variety of games.
Potential Activities- 4 Shots. With Pool Tables, Shuffle Board, 2 dart boards and of course the requisite jukebox it has it all. And all is free, which makes it even better!
Drinks- 4 Shots. The special is the Desert Martini- A beer with an olive in it. Sounds nasty but in fact is really tasty, even for people like me that don’t like olives!
Food- 3 Shots. Although there isn’t any real food the popcorn is fresh and unbelievably tasty, salty and buttery. Just perfect to go with a cold beer.
Bartenders- 4 Shots. The owner is great and always ready to chat and make it feel like your own little cheers.
Overall this was one of my favorites in Havasu. Located in between two other bars it was always a great way to end the evenings!

Havasu Dive Bar #1- The Office cocktail Lounge
The Office Cocktail Lounge
2180 Acoma Blvd W,
Lake Havasu City, AZ 86403
Phone (928) 855-9583
Rating: On a scale of 1 – 4 shots
Overall- 3 Shots
Atmosphere- 3 Shots. The inside is very divey, but the outside has a great patio, with flat screen tv’s, nice misters and pool table. The Office definitely has a sports bar theme to it. All around a great place to watch the game outside while having a beer.
Local Crowd- 2 Shots. Some days are down right empty, but others are packed (especially when the Piranha Crew comes rolling by). And although the locals were a little hard at this bar, they didn’t bother the actors on the show (except for a few Step Brother Quotes).
Potential Activities- 3.5 Shots. Darts in the corner. Pool tables both inside and outside. A juke box that will actually play the music you pay for without too much wait.
Drinks- 3 Shots. I know there are other choices of drinks here but my favorite are the little mini-pitchers of Beer. GREAT prices (Only about 7 dollars for a mini-pitcher of Hef) and includes the nice little cooler sticks.
Food- 2 Shots. No real food, though they do have frozen pizzas and tons and tons of snack food.
Bartenders- 3 Shots. And yet another Havasu bar where the bartenders are pregnant. But on the plus side she was very nice about letting me leave my car in the parking lot over night. And judging by how full it still was when I went to get it at 7am I wasn’t the only one that enjoyed the Bartenders quick service!
Overall this was a great bar to hang out with, one of the first and one of my last of the dive bar events!
