I actually love a dive bar and have only had great experiences here. While I will be honest and say the only carb that has ever gone in me from from The Trough was served to me in a glass, I bet their food is good too. This place is awesome, servers are friendly and I love their little patio too!

We ordered nachos and they were soooo good! Like seriously the best nachos I think I have ever had ! We played pool for about an hour and the dj arrived and stared playing music around 9. He started with slow music - which was boring and then finally around 9:30 he started playing actual music to dance to.

I love how they have automatic paper towel dispenser, it really nice, makes me want to keep coming back and dancing and maybe even sing a bit, sure and yes; it's kind of the thing to do when you have a great time and have fun at the same time. Yes, it's great bar and bar tender love; got to love a great time

We just moved to Mesa and trying to find the perfect watering hole for our taste buds. Alas! We found The Trough! A wide arrange of folks and the staff is exceptional. The DJ plays every genre under the sun and the locals are friendly. Super sweet and genuine service. We just came from downtown Scottsdale and frankly, the service here got them beat.

This place is worth it just for the friendly bar staff. What's nice about the place is that it is big and has just about something for everyone. Karaoke, pool, dancing and if you love to people watch, it has that too. Good basic bar food but always a fun atmosphere. You won't break the bank here either. Both food and drinks are reasonable.
