Ah, I remember having my first Stella here oh so long ago...
I really enjoy Carly's atmosphere. Dark lighting, nice live music, and plenty of local art. The menu has a nice selection and is vegetarian-friendly.
I have had few problems with bar service and service in general. In one instance, the waitress took our order and then disappeared for long periods of time. No really a big deal. For the location, It's a stand up place and in my opinion, one of Phoenix's most overlooked spots. Would like to be back soon.
