| - Met up with a bunch of friends at Handlebar for my friend's birthday meander on Mill for pre-dinner drinks. And to be honest, I was more than a little bummed when we left to head off to the next place.
The patio is great! A little warm in the summer (which is unsurprising, considering the Arizona heat), but the misters definitely made it feel like I wasn't standing on the sun. It's very open with a lot of seating and feels a lot more relaxed in comparison to some of the other patios on Mill. And the waitress who was serving us was really nice and ridiculously attentive.
They have an amazing beer selection, which definitely made my night. They also offer some ridiculously tasty beer cocktails. I got a shandy, which was perfect, considering just how hot it was. My friend let me have a taste of her peach tandem and it was also ridiculously good. My only grouse, and it's a small one, is that the only cider they had (at the time, at least) was Crispin. That's not to say Crispin's a bad cider, because it isn't, I just wish they had more of a selection.
Despite the fact that we were heading off to dinner afterwards, we did end up ordering some pretzels and fries. Both of which were very good and I highly recommend. Especially with their beer cheese, which is fabulous.
TL;DR: Good food, good drinks, good service. Definitely have to pop in again before I move.
