About
The bar in the middle of the desert! Off HWY 95, 2.5 miles on a dirt road. Live music, great food and cold drinks. The bar is run on solar and is a local favorite. Great off-road destination that is also accessible by vehicle. Open seasonally Friday 12pm-5pm, Saturday and Sunday 10am-5pm October through April. Come enjoy one of our signature cocktails while you take in the beauty of the desert mountains.

First time in after reading about The Bunker. Very similar to the Desert Bar but totally different theme and close to I-40. Closer to a main road as well for those that don’t want to drive in the dirt that far.
Great venue and set up like a forward operating base. Staff was polite and happy to see the staff checking for weapons before allowing entry. Lots of seating and with some being covered. Owner took some time to come up with a good flow of how things are placed with food and bar being in the back. Tried lunch there and it was good. Little expensive but that’s understandable due to its location and the atmosphere. Plus, there is no charge to get in.
Will return in the future and it’s nice to have the option of a place to visit in the north end.
Might be nice to offer a military/veteran discount and even have some guidelines with camouflage netting to pull out overhead for shade when the sun is a bit intense.

It was our second visit. We wanted to share this unique venue with our out of town friends. Loved the theme, from the old helicopter to the Red Cross army truck. Live music and great bloody marys. You feel like you are on a Mash army set looking for Hawkeye and Hot lips to show up. Upon leaving we saw we had a flat tire on our car, Raymond, whose family owns the venue, asked if he could be of assistance. In less than a half hour he had put our spare tire on and we hit the road back to Havasu.

Getting there is part of the experience. From entry safety, no guns, you don’t know these days🥲. Bartenders were friendly, good people, good food truck and friendly ladies selling souvenirs. Music was good and loved the whole concept. Kids were having fun also. Don’t bring your pets please.

We visited the Bunker Bar for the first time today. They opened January 1st 2020 so it is fairly new.
It is a gravel road off Highway 95 near Havasu Heights. It is 2 1/2 miles from the highway. It had a live band and they were serving drinks. Niko's is doing the food service so it is good food.

Enjoyed the Turkey Testicle Festival in November. Plenty of food and drink options. Bartenders are friendly and prepared for the crowds. Good band playing classic and southern rock. Place is set up well for parking and security. Good place to enjoy a couple drinks, food, music and sunshine!

6 of us spent an afternoon at the bunker bar, in February. It was a sunny day in the 60s. Lots of people, relaxed, listening to a good band. Atmosphere was upbeat. People were dancing, enjoying a beer, sitting with friends, milling around. Food was better than average for bar food.

This is an awesome music venue, located out in the desert. Music was live and great. We luckily got there the last day of their season (October through April). Lacy our bartender was wonderful! Very skilled, very friendly! Cannot say enough good! Put this on your bucket list if you come to Lake havasu.

Really loud music. $2 beer. Covered sitting area as well as seating in the sun. People seemed to be having fun but not my type of vibe. Liked The Desert Bar in Parker better.

Hey there newyorker1953, so sorry to hear of your bad experience. I deeply apologize for the music being too loud for you. We understand sometimes it can get louder under our canopy cover where the sound tunnels. If you would like to speak with me, or the owner, about this issue so we can get a better understanding of how to address this, please send an email to matt@desertbarlhc.com.
We hope you come out and enjoy our beautiful scenery and some other Live music again. Can't guarantee the beers will be $2 though, as you visited the last day of our season so we were selling to get rid of the beer.
Thanks so much for taking the time to review! We greatly appreciate it.
