| - First, the good... We love Booty's for wings. Coming from the East Coast, finding anything remotely close to food from home is tough and Booty's does the best job at delivering wings. Last night we had the Buffalo Gold and the Desert Sweet Heat. They did not disappoint. Not the best we've had, just the best we've had in AZ. We will definitely be back for the wings.
Our server Jacob was pretty awesome especially considering he had tables all over the place and ran his butt off all night long. He was attentive, my glass was never empty, and overall he did a stellar job.
Next the bad... We went to see the pay-per-view UFC fights which Booty's shows to its customers without charging a cover. You simply have to spend $12 per adult and $5 per child during the fights and ta-da you get to watch your faves beat the heck out of each other on multiple TVs and big screens. So why bad?? You cannot HEAR any of it. The volume of the sound system was "all the way up" and yet, it was inaudible over the din. Part of the fight night experience is being able to hear the broadcast. They need to improve their sound system and crank it up so those of us who actually wanted to watch the fights could hear them instead of the drunken shrieking and shouting conversations that were going on all around the joint. Speaking of this...
The Ugly... We called in advance because we wanted to know if we could reserve a spot for the fights. We were told that they do not reserve seats and it is a first come/ first serve system. Cool by us since we wanted to get there early enough for the prelims anyway. Once we arrived, we spotted the area we wanted and were told that that spot was reserved... hmmm? When we asked about what we had been told, the response was that "The Owner" reserved the spot. Understanding that ownership has its privileges, we select the table next to the owners and were told that that too was reserved by "The Owner". So we opted for a third spot and apparently the "Buckeye Owner" had reserved that area... Bad show to Andy and Peggy who according to the banner above the bar are the proprietors of Booty's on Bell. Oh... but wait, there's more!! Not only did they demonstrate poor form with their "do as I say not as I do policy"... The "Buckeye Owner's" table was absolutely disruptive to every party around them. They were so loud, I thought my ears were going to start bleeding. People all around them were constantly turning to see what the noise was all about. One of the females at the table was "the shrieker" of the bunch while her male counterpart on the loudness scale was more concerned with his "cat like reflexes" as he dodged a spilled drink. In fact he was so proud that I expected him to thump his chest as he shouted his athletic prowess at staying dry multiple times. We also observed their party bumping into other patrons as they went back and forth from the outside smoking area to their table without apology.
No owner I know would tolerate any patron behaving in way that disrupts the customers around them and yet there they were... totally oblivious to everyone and only concerned with doing shots. Maybe if they were in their bar rather than their partners' they would've behaved better but I digress.
The final analysis: Go to Booty's for wings. Go for lunch or happy hour, but DO NOT go for UFC fight night. They are clueless about what fight fans want. Next time, we will either stay home and give the $$ to the cable company or try Tailgaters right next to Booty's since it appeared that they too showed the fight.
