| - After all of the bad reviews I read on here, honestly, I went just to see how bad it was. Luckily for me, it was pretty nice. However; I went on a Tuesday, in the afternoon and hardly anyone was there. I also hung out at the bar, not upstairs. So here's what I think about my experience. The bartender was a friendly, chatty readhead and she was attentive to us. She helped us remember when happy hour was about to start so we could take advantage of the specials. The food was amazing. We shared a beer board which consisted of beer sausage, beer cheese spread and beer bread. A little on the bland side but pretty good. After our Guinnesses (which they have on tap. Thank you!) we had their specialty drink called Jamie's Boone. Served in little copper cups, it's basically Jameson with ginger beer and crushed mint leaves. Yum!! My boyfriend had the green chili pulled pork and I had the smokehouse burger. The rooftop is a nice idea but you can already see where the sun and weather has worn things like chairs and cushions. Don't know how many people would really be up there from May-September, but hey, I guess if you're trying to be a trendy hot spot (ahem, it's not Downtown Phoenix, but ok) you gotta have a "rooftop bar" Whatevs. One other bartender was kind of friendly and talked to us, but the servers seemed to lack enthusiasm and didn't have much going in the outgoing department. Overall, really cool place to hang out. There weren't many people there so I can't attest for how douchey it may get on the weekends. I knew where this place was but if you are not familiar with Downtown Chandler, you WILL have a hard time finding it. Best bet is to park where you think it is and just start walking around. Good luck!
