Bar Smith = WORST BAR EVER
I wrote that on my cocktail napkin after being in this place for only 10 minutes.
Let's just say it wasn't worth battling all the one-way streets and construction paying the $5 cover (I see many people complaining about $7-$10, but I can see why.)
The music was blaring and not in a good way. My first stop was the bathroom. There was no attendant in in there (THANK GOD!) But when I opened the door I hit the girl standing at the sink and couldn't walk in until people moved around like puzzle pieces.
Second stop the bar. I got a beer and a water from the downstairs bar. Five dollars for a Newcastle? Jesus. Not happy. Take my beer upstairs and find a hideaway behind the rooftop dance floor to drink and smoke in peace.
Yes, upstairs they are playing different music than the shit downstairs. Yes, it was cramped and sweaty. No, the misters didn't do a damn thing for me.
The flair-tending that was performed at the upstairs bar was pretty cool! They actually lit bottles on fire. I have never seen that done at a bar in Phoenix and that is the only reason this place has 2 stars.
I don't even think the view is that great. All you see is a mess of construction and cops waiting to nab all the drunks as soon as they get released from the bars.
Uninspired, un-enthused and unlikely I will be returning.
