zipps is a sports bar. Zipps serves the need of providing sporting entertainment and food/beer.
Today, Ryan the manager opted to keep the sound on Barwide for the third day of the US Open (a golf tournament) as opposed to turning on the Sound for the World Cup - England v Italy
2 complete tables left. 10 patrons total.
We talked to our waitress. We talked to Ryan the manager. She was powerless and he refused to change the channel. More patrons then left. The people around us were upset. With 4 sports bars within 2 miles - Four Peaks, Twin Peaks, KO O'donnell and Temple Bar so close why ever go back?
Ryan the manager was apathetic at best.....
Seriously, the World Cup - and this is not debatable - is the biggest sporting event in the world. Except at Zipps "Sports" Bar in Scottsdale. Sad.
