About Bonfire

Bonfire is a locally owned and operated family restaurant and sports bar in Tempe, Arizona. Our mission is simple: to provide a dining experience that goes beyond the typical sports bar. At Bonfire, food always comes first. We serve chef‑crafted American classics with a Southwestern twist, prepared from scratch with the freshest, locally sourced ingredients.

Whether you’re stopping by for our signature slow‑smoked BBQ, enjoying x§ with friends, or searching for flame‑inspired dishes people often look for as “fire food near me,” Bonfire is the place for great food, cold drinks, and community. Our menu is creative, our beer list features local and craft favorites, and our cocktails are mixed with care to fit any occasion.

At Bonfire, every guest matters. Our goal is to create an experience where families, food lovers, and sports fans can all feel at home. From catching the next big game with your crew to gathering around our outdoor bar with a fire pit, Bonfire is built on connection, friendship, and celebration.

For us, the name says it all. A bonfire has always been a symbol of bringing people together, a tradition the owners, lifelong best friends from the Midwest, grew up with. Today, they’re proud to share that same spirit here in Arizona. With our flagship location in Tempe and a second in Surprise, Bonfire proudly serves guests from across the Valley, including nearby communities such as Ahwatukee.

So bring your family, invite your friends, and let Bonfire spark a new tradition: incredible meals, ice‑cold drinks, and time shared together.

Sincerely,
Chef Dave Lindsley
