| - My friend and I came here because the Greek restaurant nearby closed early. But, gawd, it was a Saturday night and the fact that I was in a giant megaplex urban sprawl of a city was very apparent when I noticed how desolate this strip mall location was.
We walked in and what looked like could easily be a very happening sports bar was dotted with a few customers here and there. We sat at the bar, but there were booths and tables to choose from. There are pool tables, dart boards, and fooseball on the other half of the place and there are 2 sections of outdoor seating.
The beer selection was kind of weak, a bunch of your basic domestics, but Ithey did have Guinness and my Newcastle, but my heart sunk when the bartender told me that they were out of it.
The menu seemed like your average barfood fare, but I was drawn toward what turned out to be an amazing jalapeno cheesesteak sandwich with jalapeno cheese...mmm yeah! And my friend had the hot buffalo wings which, unfortunately, were not hot enough for my fire capacity.
I make it out to Phoenix a few times a year and I would come back to check out the "All you can eat fish fry" (my good diet gets completely thrown out the window when I come here). And there were some other happy our specials painted on the windows that looked good.
I won't expect a song and dance from our bartender, although accommodating and efficient, possessed the antithesis of a sparkling personality.
I give this place the upper echelon of 2 stars cuz it seems like a place I would have torn up back in the day.
