College Bar & Grill closes across the street from Sun Devil Stadium

College Bar & Grill, whose location across the street from Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe made it a a popular hangout for ASU football fans, abruptly has closed its doors after less than two years.

Grady Gammage Jr., the owner of the building on the southwest corner of College and Fifth Street, is selling it at a reduced price to University Realty, a nonprofit that uses real estate to support ASU.

He says the bar’s owners have not paid rent in nearly a year but he decided to let them continue to operate through ASU football’s home schedule, which concluded Saturday.

The high-turnover building has been home to more than a dozen restaurant and bar concepts in the last two decades.
