To people that have never been there, I describe at as a "dive." The truth is, it's as much a dive as a place can be in Old Town Scottsdale, but you're still in Old Town and the "non-divey" element are still frequenters there. Pitchers are cheap and when it's crowded I've found I can still always get a drink in less than five minutes at the outside bar.
The Christmas decor this place puts up is awesome. It's like Santa vomited jolliness all up in that place and you can't help but enjoy it. And they leave it up obnoxiously long to reinforce the fact that they don't give a hoot about being classy.
