| - Let's see - where to start? Dive bar - check; dirty bathrooms - check; very little parking - check; styrofoam plates - check; not gourmet chinese food - check. So why 5 stars?
It's a combination of wonderful employees and owners, awesome selection of beer, good size drinks, great customers and good but not spectacular food. Yes - it is a dive bar, but it's much more than that, and has a charm all of it's own. Part of the total effect is that you do not have the typical Scottsdale club crowd, but down to earth people that are there for some inexpensive food and good drinks.
Most of entrees run $6.99 for a pint, which is served with rice in little boxes. It is enough for one person, and I always have rice left over. I do like my food spicy, and their spicy is not very hot. However, they do provide red chili sauce, so you can spice it up to your heart's content.
Is it "gourmet food" - no, but it is delicious. If I had my choice, I would come here rather than PF Changs - and in fact, this has become my favorite spot in North Scottsdale for beer drinking, eating, and just hanging out.
So I am giving it 5 stars, not just for it's food, but it's overall atmosphere. For a dive bar, you can't get any better.
