The Republic
Dirtbag’s, a University of Arizona hangout spot with an over-30-year history in Tucson is opening a location in Phoenix on Aug. 16.
The bar is replacing The Spot at Arcadia at the corner of Indian School Road and 48th Street.
Since opening in Tucson, Dirtbag’s has drawn a crowd of regulars called “Baggers” for pre-game food, drinks and traditions, like listening to “Sweet Caroline” on the jukebox. The new bar features one of the original jukeboxes, which is set to play “Sweet Caroline” every hour, on the hour.
“It’s incredibly rewarding to see Dirtbag’s grow beyond Tucson,” said Gary Welch, owner of Dirtbag’s Tucson, in a news release. “We’ve been a staple for generations of students and locals, and continuing that legacy in Phoenix means we can share our tradition with even more people. I’m proud to see the brand expand while maintaining the spirit and atmosphere that makes Dirtbags special.”
Fans reacted to the news on social media
With over 60,000 UA alumni living in Phoenix, the bar invites Tucson transplants to come relive memories and new “Baggers” to come start making them.
When Dirtbag’s first announced it was coming to Phoenix on Instagram, @diane.i67 wrote: “OMG, this could be a real dirty situation 😂”
In a later post, @borchardcustom commented “Having grown up in Tucson, it’s going to feel sooooo nostalgic having you in my neighborhood. 😍”
