Relaxed, low-key stop at the Best Western Grand Canyon Squire Inn serves pub grub, beer & cocktails.
Squire Pub + Social is the bar-and-grill inside the Best Western Grand Canyon Squire Inn in Grand Canyon Village — a low-key spot to land after a day on the rim, with a bar pouring beer and cocktails alongside a straightforward pub menu. It's not trying to be a destination restaurant, and that's kind of the point: it's a reliable option in a town where dining choices thin out fast once the sun goes down.
The menu leans classic pub grub — pizza, chicken tenders, fish and chips, quesadillas — and reviewers are split on execution. Fans point to the fish and chips and a corn quesadilla as standouts, and more than one review calls out genuinely attentive service. Others found the kitchen slow or inconsistent, especially during rushes. With a 3.6 rating from 359 Google reviews, it lands solidly in the "decent, dependable" category rather than a must-visit.
Given how limited South Rim dining options are outside the historic village restaurants, it's a fair bet for pub food and a beer without needing a reservation — just go in with modest expectations and you'll likely leave satisfied.

Nathan’s honestly the only reason we stayed! He talked us into the phenomenal food and drinks and boy was he right! Please if you’re here or going to visit the Grand Canyon , please come by and get drinks you will not regret! Nathan needs a raise for real

We spent one night at the Squire and arrived late unfortunately. The pub was the only place open late enough for food and drinks. Nathan was an awesome bartender. Made us better margaritas than we were served at the Mandalay Bay in Vegas! Food was great too.

The food was good, but what made the difference was the service. The staff is friendly and very attentive. The bartender, Nathan, went above and beyond for my kid who won’t eat anything other than chicken tenders. He made a few calls and made it happen! Such a family friendly environment. Will definitely be back.

Disappointing Start at Squire Pub & Social Beautiful Location, Needs Work Our experience at Squire Pub & Social was unfortunately a mixed bag, especially considering its prime location within a Grand Canyon resort. Arriving right as the doors opened, we were met with an unwelcoming look that made us feel like we had interrupted something. Despite being the only patrons, our cold appetizers took an astonishing 40 minutes to arrive. Bizarrely, our entrees followed a mere five minutes later, leaving us with a table quickly overflowing. While the fish and chips proved to be a highlight – the fish was well-cooked and the chips were crispy – the pizza was a significant letdown. It tasted undeniably like a frozen, boxed variety, which was incredibly disappointing given the setting. To add to the confusion, we had to request plates for our pizza and were then provided with small appetizer plates, highlighting a distinct lack of common sense amongst the staff. To be fair, the staff members we interacted with were genuinely nice and polite. However, their lack of training and basic understanding of restaurant service was glaringly obvious. From the delayed appetizers to the mismatched plates, it felt like we were their first customers ever. For a restaurant situated within a Grand Canyon resort, expectations are naturally higher. While the location undoubtedly offers a captive audience, Squire Pub & Social needs a serious overhaul in its kitchen efficiency and staff training to meet even basic dining standards. The potential is there, especially with the good fish and chips, but significant improvements are needed to justify a visit, particularly for those expecting a quality dining experience in such a remarkable location.

Took a chance because I have a picky eater in my party and saw chicken tenders on the menu. We had a wonderful time! All the staff was very attentive. Bree tended to us and she was such a great personality, not only did we have a great time with her, but we also saw her making time for each table and chatted a little bit with each set of guests. Super hospitable, and we got everything from drinks to food in great time. Wonderful, wonderful service. The food was excellent, too. The Chicken tenders passed muster for my picky eater, and the corn quesadilla I had was probably the best restaurant quesadilla I've ever had. I'd absolutely come here again.
