Giffords and her husband, retired Navy Capt. Mark Kelly, were interviewed by ABC News' Diane Sawyer.
"Gabby is not only a friend, but certainly the perfect politician, and we want to see," said owner Bill Nugent. "Everyone was excited to see progress."
The bar is a popular place to spend the time and the politicians and bureaucrats of the city as well as students and the regular Joes, Nugent said. Giffords would visit "to get into his ear to the ground," he said, but does not expect ever to be in front of potential voters.
"I really only know that Gabby Gabby," said Nugent.
He added: "In a state that has these politicians curious is refreshing."
Monday night, there were tears and laughter of people looking Gifford be interviewed. But the pizza and beer, was a matter of everyone's mind, Nugent said.
"We hope to hear or not, that was committed to running again," he said. "I think it will."
At some point in the interview with ABC News, Sawyer Giffords asked about it - and MP problems finding the right words."No better," she said at first. Her husband intervened and said, ". She wants to get better"
Gifford then would run again if it gets better? Sawyer asks. "Yes, yes, yes," said Gifford.
Gifford was seeking a fourth term, the deadline in May.
Arizona State Senator kyrsten Sinema, a friend of the lawmaker, said in an interview that he expects Giffords to run. "If it's up to Gabby and his strength of will and his life, you bet," he said. "And 'Gabby, she's tough as nails."
