I am still not completely sure how I feel about Blondie's. It's been the same type of bar for as long as I've lived here (5 years)- despite what the name was. It used to be called The Library and had skinny, cute or outgoing girls wearing skimpy outfits. It never really had too much class, but had a large seating area and a bunch of TV's. They also have events, a decent kitchen and happy hours, so it wasn't bad, but the staff just never seems very genuine. You don't feel like they want to be there or you're not completely sure you want to be there either.
When Blondie's first opened, I wasn't impressed. Their walls were bare and the bartenders had attitudes. Granted they have been on Mill for much longer now, I gave them another chance. They had much more ASU apparel, TV's and looked more like a fun Sun Devil clubhouse. I went during an ASU home football game and they had the game on every TV. It was nice. But the place was loaded packed and took forever to get drinks. There was no where to sit. But standing was ok for a little while, until we decided to go onto another bar. I'd go back to Blondie's, but like I mentioned I'm still not completely sold. Mill Ave has had a few new quality bars open up recently and the existing bars surrounding the Mill Ave District should step it up and make Tempe a prime destination again. We all know Mill Ave has had its ups and downs, but ASU deserves bar after bar of fun times with exciting places to make memories.
