Editor's Pick

Wheezys Grill and Sportsbar

★★★★★ 4.3 · 2739 reviews

Open 7 AM–9 PM most days

The service crew at Wheezys runs the room with the kind of attention that turns first-timers into regulars. Bartenders anticipate refills and check in without hovering. The food backs the draw with generously portioned pulls like sweet chili wings, pulled pork sandwiches, and Philly steaks that arrive hot alongside crispy tots. The sports bar setting delivers screens for every game, a solid beer list, and outdoor seating that welcomes pets. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner service means the kitchen stays open longer than most spots in town. Large groups fill the space easily, so arrive early during peak hours to beat the rush.

Open 9 AM–11 PM most days

A cigar shop, cocktail lounge, and full bar where the humidor stocks premium and boutique brands, the whiskey shelf runs deep, and the patio pulls crowds during events.

The space fills quickly when events are on, so check the calendar and arrive early for prime seating. The blend of top-shelf liquors, quality cigars, and room to settle in makes it a regular rotation stop for locals who want a proper smoke and pour.

"The humidor inventory is impressive, all the big name brands plus a good assortment of boutique stuff. Prices are fair. Ventilation inside the lounge is superb, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating."Verified review

Bars in Yuma

Yuma’s bar scene runs on bar-and-grill hybrids more than standalone nightclubs, with most venues pairing a full bar against a kitchen that stays open into the evening. Cocktail lounges, sports bars, and pub-style grills make up the core, clustered along the main commercial corridors rather than one nightlife district. Pool tables, patio seating, and game-day TVs recur across the top spots, and several lean on regular drink specials. Closing times skew earlier than big-city nightlife, so the busiest window runs dinner through mid-evening, with weekend crowds the heaviest.
