| - Slightly touristy in that there's a lot of memorabilia scattered around the place, not to mention a tank with rattlesnakes right when you enter and an old west town made up of prop store fronts and a stage for live music out back, but other than that, it's all history. The restaurant has been around since 1957 according to the website, and the history is pretty evident upon first glance. The cieling is covered in snipped neckties and business cards dating back decades - just look for the dustiest ties and the yellowest cards, you'll see what I mean. Along many of the interior walls there are hundreds of beer related trinkets, tap handles, old label artwork, bottle caps, old photos of the first breweries, and unique bottle openers. It's a pretty interesting place to just walk around (and, of course, there's a gift shop for all your last minute christmas gifts).
There's also a local brewery attached to it, Sonoran Brewing Company, and all of their beers are served at the restaurant. I recommend trying their Inebriator Stout and the Victorian IPA if you like craft beer or your tastebuds could use a wake-up call.
The food isn't oh-my-gawd amazing, but it's good. The steaks are consistent with just the right amount of fat and good flavors if you order them medium, the ribs fall off the bone and melt in your mouth just like they should, and the chicken tastes like chicken if you didn't come to a steakhouse for steak.
