One of the oldest buildings in Tempe, a real treat to be inside, except during the horrible Arizona summers. The building is swamp-cooled so it is huuuuumid during many days of the summer. It is usually PACKED around dinner time (5-7) most days, and especially on Thursdays.
The "DJ" plays pretty good music, I put him in quotes because the few times I've seen the music system it's a Macbook hooked up to someone's itunes collection. No problem with that, though--me and the guy have pretty similar tastes in music. The waitresses here are great nine times out of ten, and they are always good-looking (do they even let males serve here?).
The barrel fries are great, even if they are still $5.50 for a considerable deduction in the amount of fries you get recently. They usually have a "special" or "chef's choice" menu where you can get something that isn't a usual menu item. Good for dates.
The hefeweizen contains banana clove, which is amazing. The peach ale is a favorite among many women I know, and Kiltlifter is always great if you're looking to take a nap soon (heavy!).
My only gripe is that the happy hour starts at 11. Sheesh.
