| - This is one of those "dive bars" that are not dive bars at all. Dive bars have local character to them--they're local bars. This place has become just dirty and embarrassing.
I came here regularly 10 years ago as I lived within walking distance. Just recently I went back a few times. If you enjoy drinking with "ironic" hipsters who likely all drive in from Scottsdale to this "hip place", then go ahead. Expect bugs and sewer stench, because whoever owns the place now just doesn't care anymore. The old regulars have long gone and the cool ironic kids have taken over, ironically drinking shitty beer, and ironically becoming drunken assholes.
Two stars for cheap drinks and good music, though. If you can stand the clientele, go for it, I guess. You're better off trying "that one little bar" near your house that you've never managed to go to, the place where there's charm and locals.
Actually, a "No Hipster" policy would make this bar pretty interesting. Full of old alcoholics, hookers, and bums.
