My hubby and I were out driving around running errands from Tempe to Mesa to Gilbert and with the heat were just downright delirious and in a huge need for a cold adult beverage. We saw the sign for Crabby Don's, thought it was funny and decided to give it a try. At 11:30 a.m. on a Monday it was pretty slow, but the bartender was staying busy multi-tasking. Looked like she was setting up glasses for both bars and attending to a couple of patrons who were sitting at the bar. She still found time to be friendly and helpful with us and we did not feel neglected at all.
We were thrilled to find $2 Rolling Rocks and then when I asked about food, I noticed they had Breckenridge Brewing SummerBright Ale on tap. (I'm easily distracted when it comes to beer). It's not often I see a BB beer here in this area, so we gave that a try. Not too shabby. Definitely a passable summer lager. We didn't want a full meal so shared the sliders. Very simple cheeseburger sliders, but they had a good grilled flavor and the buns had been grilled too which is a simple touch that I like a lot. I also like that they give you 4 instead of 3, like a lot of places do. 4 is perfect for sharing with the one you love, or the one you want to love for that night.
Overall it was a good dark cool divey place for a pit stop with a good drink selection. The food prices aren't too bad either and it's the typical bar food menu. I'm probably too old and square to enjoy the bands, etc. they get in there, but I would definitely stop in again if I'm out in the area.
