Chopper John’s

This retro black-and-red trimmed bar off busy Indian School Road is a mix dive and rock-and-roll. The neighborhood classic has dollar bills pasted on its walls up to the ceiling, which is adorned with Christmas lights. A host of friendly barflies feel like a reflection of the establishment itself. Various local bands with a rock focus take the intimate stage most nights of the week, and it’s a great hangout spot to play some pool, enjoy a baseball game while sitting on their comfy bar stools or enjoy a smoke on the outside patio.
