| - I can't give this place more than three stars, because it's just not my scene. $8 cover on a Wednesday, b/c they have $0.45 drinks before 10p. I walk in, place is packed. Even before I walk in, i realize this place is insane, because the parking lot is packed. Anyway. A little bit of everything inside. three bars and a beer tub, or was it just two bars and two beer tubs. the alcohol was flowing, and people were dancing. I don't dance, but I'm starting to think i should learn. it was a little unbalanced out there. I'm all for balance! (not really. actually not at all)
anyway, Dottsy pretty much nailed it - the mix of country and hip-hop somehow works in this place. I told my friend that this place is quintessentially "Phoenix," on several levels. You'll know what I mean when you get there. The crowd on Ladies' Night is surprisingly diverse, for the suburbs. on the other hand, I haven't been to a bar with this concentration of straight people in a long time, so your mileage may vary. You won't feel out of place if you're not wearing a hat and/or boots, so no worries on that count, at least.
The pours were disappointing. the Newcastle a couple friends ordered, which I thought was a strange call, was 5.25. Ooof. i stuck w/ my gin and tonic for $5, which i thought was pretty decent, considering. anyway my search for a watering hole close to home continues - the music, the crowd, and the prices kinda scare me off, although i will have to investigate how early they start charging cover. it will be pretty cavernous when it's not crowded, but it is only 3 miles from home...
