I love Zipps for what it is - a sports bar with awesome food and drink specials - but I just can't justify giving them more than 3 stars.
I've been to Zipps dozens of times at a variety of locations around the valley, with the Camelback location being closest to my house currently. I like all the TVs and the large smoking patio (weeee!) and the CHEAP drinks. But they sometimes enforce weird drinking rules, i.e. only 3 of their frozen Zipparitas, or 3 big beers. If you're eating and hanging out for a few hours watching a game or playing shuffleboard three drinks isn't that much.
Also service is super spotty. Sometimes they're nice and enthusiastic, other times they disappear for seemingly hours on end and act inconvenienced when you ask for things like water or extra ranch?
Golden medium wings is where it's at. Trust me, try them. (Their hot wing sauce is HOT, by the way). The Fresca focaccia is my other favorite - chicken, salsa, sweet jalapeƱo sauce and pepper jack rolled up in a long narrow wrap. Yum. Both of these items can be ordered for $6 if you catch them on the right night, as Zipps has varying food and drink specials nightly.
