Kincaid's is as good as it gets for happy hour before the big Suns game. I went here again last night for the home opener against the Lakers. The Suns get five stars too but they couldn't pull a win off with all the new players, now on to the review...
We come here every time before the game and I highly recommend showing up a minimum of an hour and a half before the game. If you get there an hour before the game you will have to sit in the dining area and it just not the same. The place is hidden and tucked away north of the arena upstairs just east/behind of paradise bakery which is hidden in the middle of the food complex that is attached to the Hard Rock (did you get that). I almost always order the Kobe sliders (and no they are not named after Kobe Bryant) and my wife orders the calamari which they always come out great. I have had the chicken wings and the artichoke dip as well. All appetizers are half off before 6pm during the week and I think there are drink specials but I always end up with rum and coke anyway. The atmosphere is the coolest at this place, they have oversized pictures of old baseball teams and HUGE chandeliers in the bar area at least. I think of Ron Burgundy (Anchor Man) when I'm in this bar and I get the feeling I will smell the scent of mahogany, ha ha. It's a very masculine steak house and once or twice I have eaten dinner here cause the bar was overfilled. I have had some halibut that was fantastic and I have ordered a ribeye that did not make much of an impression. I would not rate this place as good as it gets for dinner but it is the best place before a game because it is very nice, clean, good bar, good service, and it takes 2 minutes to get to the arena from here.
