The beat goes on.

THE DIRTY DRUMMER, A PHOENIX STAPLE. The first Dirty Drummer opened its doors in Phoenix in 1975, started by Frank “Drummer” Armstrong and “Dirty Dave” Werner. They opened five of their 14 bars in the first 5 years including 1980’s 44th St. & Oak location. In 2019, Frank’s daughter, Dana and her friends Tom and Andrew reopened the Dirty Drummer, keeping the experience of the original years of the business as their inspiration.

Welcome back to the Dirty Drummer, for good friends and good times!
