It is worth the drive! Mondays are a great day for specials! My friends and I had excellent food and service. Enjoyed a nice evening of drinks, great hamburgers, lizard tails and a fireplace! The Jukebox was awesome! David created excellent plates. Randy was friendly, along with his counterpart to serve the best food on Friday! It made for a great start to the weekend! Thank you, it was a great evening of great food, drinks and service! Team Rocket is the fanclub and supports this business 100%!!!!!

This is a local bar and grill in a rural area, but a short drive to Bisbee. We had great interactions with the staff and other customers who were all very nice and seemed like they genuinely liked being there :-) We were in awe of the bottoms up tap, which we'd never seen. They serve food (we didn't have any) but the burger I saw being served to a customer looked delicious. It's a spacious bar with plenty of seating, pool table, shuffle board table, and lots of board games. It looks like they have live music too. If you find yourself in McNeal, AZ or nearby, stop off and enjoy!

An outstanding 10/10 experience! After a cross-country journey, I can confidently declare that THE THIRSTY LIZARD is, without a doubt, the most exceptional place we've ever visited. My husband and I, originally from Wisconsin, have been on the hunt for a new favorite spot, akin to our cherished place back home. The Thirsty Lizard surpassed our expectations in every aspect - from the impeccable service and delectable food to the breathtaking 360-degree views.
