Beaver Dam Bar and Station

3 stars? What's up with that? Well I decided to review The Dam Bar and the Dam Station with a review that might actually help people who Google Arizona Lottery and see that this place offers events and think "well that could be fun let's make a day out of it." First off 3 stars isn't bad, it's not good it's just the middle of the road and here is why.... It's for the most part a locals hang out. If you've driven through Beaver Dam you see it's not a huge place and so more often then not there is locals there, and bikers, and the Lottery runners who drive down from SoUT and further to get their scratches yup I'm one of them, to have a cocktail without the local UT Bishops and Relief Society shaking their heads in disapproval, or to listen to small venue outside live local music which happens with varying regularity here. So that sounds pretty awesome right? Well here's the rub..... any event we tried to go to unless we showed up at 8 am there is no where to sit and enjoy it as there are little chair cities erected early and stay all day, so while the music rocks unless you're literally going to give it the day maybe don't plan on being super comfortable. The Station is a smaller convenience store and while they have decent prices for an off the freeway stop, there is no gas station so... no fuel... you may have to wait to get in if the power ball is up over a couple hundred million and you'll wait in line for the register..... if you're cashing a scratcher most of the staff is SUPER friendly but one of them seems to just dislike the world and can come across grouchy.... not sure why. I'm sure he's personally a great person but it seems he's always inconvenienced when we want to cash out our scratchers, no matter how much we tip. And yes it's good karma to tip if you win guys. The Bar is not bad and the food is pretty good but the bathrooms are old and dated and if you are squeamish about odors..... they aren't the most amazing porcelain throne room you'll visit... not the worst but far from the best. They seem very kind to regulars here but when you have a new face and you try and be kind you might get a cold shoulder.... maybe it's just me.... maybe I have a dislikeable face. Anyway, if you're bringing kids.... just know they may learn some new words, they may be encumbered by cigarette smoke, and if bikers are in town perhaps they may even learn some anatomy okay that only happened the one time, but it feels like it happens with semi regularity All in all I like the Dam Place and literally stop in every time we drive through.... for scratchers mostly.... and while I have never had a BAD time.... I've also never had an amazing one either. Parking: Dirt and gravel parking lot, no designated parking grid so you may or may not fit in what looks like a space and some people peeling out can shoot gravel at your car.... so.... if that concerns you park further away and walk over. Kid-friendliness: There is road treats and juice to be had at the Station.... there is also smoking, drinking, swearing and the occasional mentally unstable person hanging around the bathrooms..... bring your kids just maybe keep a good eye on them. Wheelchair accessibility: I wouldn't call this place wheelchair friendly while their doors meet code I've had a few people say their chair won't get into the station door, the bathrooms are super wheelchair friendly but can be navigated, and the bar is hit or miss being able to get around chairs and table set up.

This is a happening place every now and then. Atmosphere is usually great, everyone having a good time and all nobody fighting it being too belligerent. Always a good thing. My service was slow sometimes but for the most part it was fine. I had a good time.Food: 3/5

One of my more favorite bars, the lawnmower races are always a good time.

this place is way cool they help me with all kinds of things good people good good good fun thanks everyone.Food: 4/5

Great little spot to stop off between Las Vegas and St George. Bar/Deli had basic amenities. Employees super nice. Make sure you play the Powerball while here!Price are good for area. The best is the Red Eats Wagon on site. Diti was super nice and the food was made from scratch-so yummy!!! Thank you! 05/20/22

Super cute hidden gem right off of I-15! When we were there multiple food trucks and vendors were set up. If you’re traveling to/from Nevada/Utah it’s a quick stop for Arizona lottery tickets too!

I've been coming to this place with my mom and dad since before I can remember. The community is great everybody's nice and it's one hell of a great price for their drinks. I hope that this place is around as long as my memories are my mom and dad.Service: 5/5

A unique & friendly locals bar open to everyone of legal drinking age. Very easonable drink prices. Location includes a pool table and foosball table. Frequent live music and karaoke nights. The bar is non smoking, but a smoking room is provided inside the establishment.

Always buy Arizona lottery tickets at Beaver Dam convenience store. Wouldn't eat at these places if I were starving. Tickets, yes, food no.Food: 1/5

Old fashioned stop for lottery tickets. Staff is friendly and reminds me of one of those home town bar and stores that haven't changed for years. Seems popular with locals and have heard they host some great bands!
