This season of Love Island USA is serving up more chaos than Casa Amor, and these Arizona watch parties are ready to match that energy with themed cocktails, food specials, games, and plenty of opportunities to couple up (with a drink menu that’s your type on paper, of course). We’re talking oversized screens, flirty drink names, and enough mid-episode moments to blow up your group chat. Here’s where to pull your crew for a chat, sip on drinks America doesn’t hate, and live out your villa fantasies.
Backyard
Gilbert
You got a text — and it says to meet your crew at Backyard Gilbert every Sunday and Monday to catch all the villa drama unfold with $7 Hurricane Hudas, $12 I Got a Textiritas, $10 Love Island Iced Teas, and $10 Bombshell Boys (the drink, not the islanders — sorry). Pair that with $5 off apps and $12 pizzas, and you’ve got the perfect fuel for judging every last head-turn starting at 6 p.m. For more information, visit backyardgilbert.com.
The LOLA
Glendale
If you crave seeing islanders make terrible decisions in real time, hit up The Lola in Glendale for its weekly Love Island watch party. Fans can sip on The Bombshell, Casa Amor Chaos, or the dangerously fun Hurricane Huda (we’re not responsible for your texts afterward). Want to test your luck? Spin the Cocktail Coupling Wheel for a surprise drink special — just like in the villa, you won’t know what you’re getting, but it could change everything (fans who show up in beachwear or full villa vibes will score a free spin!). VIP table? Text “LOVE” to 480.788.1135 and lock it in before someone else grabs your spot. The Arizona Love Island watch party will take place every Thursday at 6 p.m. For more information, visit www.instagram.com/thelolaaz.
Bodega
Glendale
A bar as unhinged as the latest bombshell, Bodega in Glendale is going all in with watch parties on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday nights, offering food and drink specials that keep the vibes as fresh as a recoupling. Cool off with a $7 Fiji Water Mojito, sip a $10 I’ve Got a Textini, or embrace the storm with a $10 Hurricane Huda. Feeling fancy? Pop $25 Champagne bottles and toast to your new fave couple. And if the villa drama isn’t enough, stick around Thursday nights for free salsa lessons at 8 p.m. in honor of Ace. For more information, visit www.instagram.com/bodegaaz.
The Hot Chick
Grab your sunnies and leave your dignity at the door for this Arizona Love Island watch party. Taking place at The Hot Chick every Tuesday and Thursday at 6 p.m., this is your Casa Amor away from Casa Amor, featuring $12 Casa Amor-itas (made with Casamigos Blanco and strawberry simple syrup for the sweetest betrayal), $11 Bombshells, and the $10 I’ve Got a Text shot — a mystery the bartender chooses, so cross your fingers it doesn’t leave you with an ick. Reserve your spot by texting 480.255.7733. For more information, visit www.instagram.com/thehotchickaz.
Stadium Sports Bar & Lounge
Downtown Phoenix
Get ready to lock in: Tuesdays just became your new villa ritual. Stadium Sports Bar brings the drama every Tuesday at 6 p.m., serving up $5 Hurricane Hudas to fuel your hottest takes while you watch the chaos unfold across 30-plus jumbo screens. Expect fun drink specials like $6 Bombshells and $7 Hideaways, plus bar fare so good even Nic wouldn’t bin it. This is your spot for flirty drinks, big screens, and bad decisions — just as the villa intended. For more information, visit www.instagram.com/stadiumphx.
Thunderbird Lounge
Phoenix
Get ready to blow up the group chat mid-episode because Thunderbird Lounge is serving Love Island energy all season long. Catch the drama every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 6 p.m., with drink specials as tempting as a fresh Casa Amor arrival. We’re talking $5 wells, $3 Jell-O shots, and $2 off specialty cocktails. The vibe? Hot takes. Big screens. Bigger drama. For more information, visit www.instagram.com/thunderbirdloungephx.
Neon Spur
Tempe
Phoenix’s Neon Spur might be a dive, but for Thursdays and Fridays, it’s your official villa headquarters. Sip on $3 Champagne, $6 spritzes, or embrace your inner chaos with the $12 Girl Dinner — chicken tenders, fries, and a vodka soda (a k a the meal of champions). Plus, $25 seltzer buckets make it easy to keep your entire crew hydrated (ish) while the drama unfolds on screen. For more information, visit www.instagram.com/neonspur.
