One of my favorite watering holes. This rustic rock building looks like it's at least 100 years old, but it is conveniently located by a light rail train stop. Great food, fair prices, lovely hostesses, live music on weekends, peace and quiet when you need it in the mornings. This is what the owners say. “Tempe Tavern is a clean and comfortable neighborhood tavern with a rustic feel. As anyone is welcome to come enjoy a cool drink or some good food here, we don’t "cater" to any particular persons or demographic. College students, business professionals, soldiers, music lovers, fashion enthusiasts, sports fans, retirees.. you name it..”
Check out the history of Tempe Tavern and it becomes more enjoyable.
The site has previously been home to the New Oxbow Tavern and Murphy’s Irish Pub. The building is a historical site in Tempe, AZ known as The White Dairy Barn. The White Dairy Barn is the only known river cobble building remaining in Tempe. It was built in 1918 by E.M. White, after he bought the property from M. H. Meyer and J. H. Guyer. White came to Arizona from California in 1908 and farmed near Phoenix before moving to Tempe to permit his children to attend the Tempe Normal school. He used the property as a dairy farm until 1927, when it was subdivided in acre tracts for sale. White is best known for the large river cobble he built just across the river from Tempe, called the White House, which was demolished in the early 1980s.
