Turf is a nice pub in downtown Phoenix, but there is nothing extraordinary about it. I'll start with the positives.
The staff of bartenders and waiters is very friendly. They are prompt with their service and always serve you with a smile. The decor is very mellow. It's an Irish pub, so there are green lights around, but it's not at all overkill. It's also a very open bar, which I like because even when it's crowded there's still space. One of my favorite things is going to Turf during the day on a weekend and sitting outside because they have outdoor misters for their patio area.
With the bad; don't come here on a First Friday or for any type of sporting event (Cardinals/D-backs games). The crowds can get very rowdy. That's the only time when the service can't be as nice as they usually are. The food and drinks aren't anything special either. It would be nice if they had more happy hour deals, but sadly they don't.
Overall, Turf is good. Not bad, not great. But still good.
