on a last minute happy hour invitation, the wife and i rode our bikes to the handlebar to meet some friends. it's right off mill and i've walked right past it unfortunately several times.
we were seated right away and given a run-down of some of their beer specials. i'm not sure who he was, but he was very intense and passionate about the beer selection and i very much appreciated that. my beer was served promptly as was my wifes glass of wine. we then received another server whom took the remainder of our happy hour and food orders.
we split the only vegetarian option on the menu, the portobello burger. it was huge! and delicious, albeit a little pricey at 10 bucks and the fries were extra. the happy hour drink specials more than made up for it. she kept our water glasses filled so we wouldn't be sloshing drunk riding our bikes home in the dark through papago park.
the interior is very clean, rustic/modern with a huge bar, and plenty of patio seating which i hear allows dogs. my wife griped about the sink being outside the bathroom-"since girls like to primp" and thought it wouldn't be prudent to check nose hairs in full view of everyone else. me? i just like to wash my hands.
a cool spot that wasn't filled with college kids, and had a great selection of beers! hope to go back soon!
