Would be the best dive bar in tempe if Doc and Eddy's wasn't around (and walking/crawling distance from my place). Most nights baseline is pretty empty and a great place for a few drinks and laughs with friends without too many other people around. On fight night though get here at least 45min early as the place gets packed and even though they have tons of tv's the layout isn't the best for a huge crowd.
I have to say as far as bar food goes this place is up near the top with the chicken parm melt being something that I actually will have a craving for once in awhile. The only food that isn't up to par is the Queso as it is just nacho cheese with chopped tomato and jalepeno.
As for drinks I have never really had a problem with anything the one time my buddy and i did get one slightly weak we walked up to Eva the bartender and asked for it stiffer-MISTAKE- but in the best way possible as she loaded up the captain in our captain and cokes and did so till i had to ask her to stop so that I could get over my sea legs. Otherwise the drinks are decently priced(even rounds of shots and bombers) and well mixed.
On nights when it's time to just hang out in a more sedate bar and have a good conversation and maybe a bite to eat this is the place for me.
