This is a fun, fairly inexpensive bar with a great atmosphere! Haven't had any problems with the bouncers like the previous reviews explained. Great place to bring friends visiting for a good time! Highly recommended

Pros: Good service, fun crowd

Cons: nothing

Used to think Dos was a decent place for late-night eats and cheap beer. Because it used to be. Not anymore. Or maybe it never was. Recently saw a video on YTube of a Dos bouncer pummeling a guest. Search YTube for "scottsdale bar fight". Pretty insane bouncers... Never going back to Dos again.

Pros: none that outweigh psychotic, violent bouncers

Cons: psychotic, violent bouncers

I am glad that finally something maybe done about the problem at Dos Gringos in Scottsdale. The problem is very violent bouncers at Dos. My friends and I have never been assaulted, but I have personally witnessed bouncers trying to start fights. I have seen a bouncer grab a customer and through him up against the wall because he was not walking fast enough when leaving at the end of the night. I have seen them threaten to cause physical harm to customers just because they did not leave the bar right away. I am very surprised that there have not been more cases such as the one on YouTube. The bouncers job is to protect there customers and make them feel safe and this is not happening. When I go to Dos I make sure I go with a big group to protect myself not from customers but from the bouncers. Since, I make sure I am bringing more friends. Most likely there are people who are bringing weapons too. I hope the owner of Dos does something. I enjoy going to many bars in Scottsdale and the bouncers at Devils, Axis, and swade do a great job. They are very nice and treat you right and if someone gets out of hand they take care of it by grabbing the person and throwing them outside. At the end of the night the bouncers will ask you nicely to leave. They don't say that there going to kick your as s and throw you outside if you don't start moving towards the exit! Which has happened to me!

I have family in Scottsdale, and I can't wait to come and visit this famous place. Not for the food, or the drinks, or even the atmosphere... I am coming to hopefully get bullied by the bouncers who are famous for beating people up.... There is NOTHING on this planet I hate worse than a bully, and even worse a fat slovenly bully who beats up on young drunk kids. I read that one young man even died in the hospital as a result of his injuries from a bouncer at this place!!! Anyway, I am not coming to cry to anybody if I get pushed around. I am coming to throw an a$$whippin on some fat boyz... I am EXTREMELY well versed in "taking care of myself" LOL and what better place to come have some fun, than that of a Haven for Bullies.... So if you see a big black (seriously in shape) bald man with a big smile on his face, and not drinking alcohol (as I do not drink) either come up and say HI if you are a nice person, or invite me outside and attempt to utilize your bullying skills, and prepare to get a riddled with punches, and kicks, and possibly some limbs broken....

Great place to get beaten to a pulp by bouncers, but if you're looking to make money in court it might be your cup of tea. Just put this place into a google search and you'll see why it's no place for anyone who would rather avoid steroid-induced rampages by "security" personnel. I hope this place gets shut down, for the safety of its patrons.

Pros: High quality trash.

Cons: Low quality trash.

Felt like a Friday night in Mexico without all of the crime and 18 year olds. The drinks weren't expensive and well drinks were made very strong. There was no cover charge and although it was crowded, we found it easy to navigate thru the entire place. Lots of TV's, pool tables, patio tables, and easy access to the bars. Music ranged from hip-hop, rock to 80's. Definitely a very cool place, casual, with a lot of good looking people. Crowd ranged from about 20's to low 30's, pre-dominantly caucasian. You should definitely make a stop here if you are from out of town.

Pros: Outdoor/Indoor feel, next to parking structure, cheap/strong drinks, casual yet trendy

Cons: Bartenders seemed inexperienced

If you want to spend time and money in a trailer park, this is the place to be. I have been dragged to Dos Gringos on several occaisions never had a good time. The people are rude and drunk and have this need to bump into you on purpose or grind their genitailia against you when you walk by.. In the winter the place is freezing as it is all outside. The bathrooms are horribly disgusting and somehow worse then the decor throughout. The music a tribute to the 80s which is great if you wanna hear 500 drunk college kids sing along to Pour Some Sugar On My..... need I really go on?

Pros: want to pick up drunk college girls? go here!

Cons: Its a trailer park without doubt!

this is a great bar at night; crowded, loud and fun; but is exponentially better during the day. the atmosphere is completely relaxed, the food is great and nothing beats a cold corona on a 95 degree day in march

Pros: cheap beer, great atmosphere

Cons: over crowded at night

me and my girlfriends love this place because it is so chill and the drinks are awesome. the only bad thing is some of the bartenders aren't to friendly.

When I first moved out to Arizona, Dos Gringos was one of the first bars I had heard about. I think the food is great...especially that you can order until 2am, and the drinks and food are so cheap. I love going to Dos after work and sitting on the patio or just chillin on the weekend just Day Drinking. The relaxed and casual atmosphere makes it easy to start a conversation with anyone. I give this place a perfect 10 you have to stop by and check this place out.

Pros: Inexpensive, Good food, great party
