| - Well it is official- Glendale, AZ has a bar. Not a restaurant with a bar in it, or one of the few beyond dive bars that still show up on the side of the road from time to time. Hell's Half Acre is an actual bar, no food. The place itself is not huge but it sits across from Fox's Sports grill at Westgate. They have a patio area in the front and as you enter the place you are greeted with counter height seating and an elevated couch "L" shaped seating area. It has an updated western feel about it without being over the top.Large projection screens line the wall and when we came (9ish) they were showing a variety of music videos(country, Motley Crew, and even Little Kim). We grabbed a few bar stools at a table near the bar and despite being busy, we had a waitress taking our drink order in less than 5 minutes. The prices are not as high as I thought the would be. They have a special where you can get a shot and a beer for $7, Irish car bobs run about $6-7, a Guinness was $4.50, and a Bud was about $3.50. It is the type of place that encourages their customers to get up on the bar and even built in a step stool on the end of the bar to help with the process.
I can definitely see myself going bar here, and not just because i is the first of it's kind at Westgate, but because they actually seem to know what they are doing. The service was good, the drinks came quick, and despite being crowded everyone was in good spirits and having a good time.
