| - Very interesting place. I try to branch out every time I stay in Tempe, this was my victim tonight.
I headed towards downtown Tempe (Mill St.) and decided against it halfway there. Coming back from Broadway, I see this place on the corner. Decide to enter, I like dive bars, lived off them in San Diego for years, this is my kinda joint...
First impression... total dive, I dig it. A couple pool tables and to my count 13 flat screen TV's provide the entertainment, but this would be closed by the Health District in Vegas for cleanliness. Points for them here!
The bartender (Becka, I think?) was way cool, greeted me immediately. Then, in a really bizarre event, everyone else at the bar greeted me too... asking my name, then introducing themselves. They were hippies, but it was kinda cool. I got the impression that I was the only one employed in this bar, aside from the bartender. I had a drink or two, quite a few locals made small talk with me, everyone was incredibly friendly. First song that pops up after the Football audio? The Smiths. Major points! The music was cool, the atmosphere trippy... I am coming back next time.
Cool, but eclectic clientele, great selection of booze, decent prices. What I am looking for. They will make a list or two!
