4-stars for going for an afternoon lunch and a few beers during the summer when the college kids go on vacation/home. The locals come out and this is the nicest time to go. Casual and the hipster-level is minimal.
2-stars for going during the night anytime from Wednesday-Saturday when ASU is in session, unless you enjoy being consumed in the maelstrom of hipster oceanic hell that consumes this place during these times.
The food isn't great and is rather overpriced for what you get, but it's basically average pub-grub (price aside). I'd avoid the Reuben, though. I don't know what they do to their corned beef, but it's like chewing on corned beef-flavored rubber. However their club sandwich is reasonably decent as is the fish and chips (although occasionally the batter is too thick).
They have beer specials every day of the week for $3 a pint, which is great. I've never had a problem with any servers, though. Occasionally they'll be a little absent-minded, but c'est la vie.
