| - Half Moon is a sports bar that is very close to being a really, really, awesome place. Luckily, they have the best hot wing sauce in the universe.
Half Moon has a ton of huge TVs. The servers are hot. The food is good. There are TVs in the bathroom! It's just missing something, though. I think the problem is that it tries to pawn itself of as a sports bar but lacks some main features.
What it lacks first of all is fans. I have never seen this place very crowded. Let's see... the weekend of the ASU @ U of A game I stopped in here to watch the second half of the game. There was also an NFL game on, and the Suns were also playing. A sports bar should be packed for this, right? Nope. It had more people than usual, but was not close to packed.
What it lacks second of all is affordable drinks and draft beer selection. Everything here is just too expensive for a sports bar and I can't recall but they either completely lack draft beer or are damn close. This is the main problem. Come on. Perhaps if they fixed this problem, the crowd problem could also be fixed.
All of the above noted, what keeps me coming back? They have a great reverse happy hour. They have half off appetizers during Suns games. Probably has the best TV setup in North Phoenix other than Santisi Brothers. More importantly, they have the best wing sauce I have ever had in my life. I cannot remember what it is called, but it is their version of "hot". It's pretty damn spicy and has an amazing taste to it. But yes, let me repeat, this little sports bar has the best wing sauce I have ever tasted. It is that good. Try it. You can get a pound of wings for $4.50 during the next Suns game and I can assure you that it will not be crowded.
Half Moon gets four stars due to the amazing wings. Otherwise it would get three.
