| - I've recently been trying to find a cool place to play shuffleboard in North Phoenix. I was trying to find a place to hang out near my bro's house so we could go hang out for a bit and have a beer. I found Brennan's online and noted that they had shuffleboard. WIN WIN!! The review said that the staff was friendly and called you "honey" even if it was the first time you had ever been there. BANG! sounds like my kinda joint, so i called my bro and said, "hey man, let's go to this joint by your house and play some shuffleboard and have a beer". So, off we went. I got there and when I approached the bar, the bartender looked at me like I was from Mars. I said hello, FIRST. She says Hi. Then I said "How's it going?" I felt like I was demonstrating to her how to greet a customer. So I ordered drinks, asked for shuffleboard disks and some menus. I was told that I could grab my own menu and that if I wanted something, I needed to come back and order. Cool, no biggie, but no points for hospitality there. No real attempt at gaining some sort of an EARNED tip, no prob, it's only my first impression of the place. SO, we play some shuffle board. 5 red disks, 3 blue, that's all they have and the shuffleboard table was not in proper working order and it wasn't like the guy sitting on his butt in the office right there was gonna check on us to see if everthing was okay. So, it don't matter, we's having some beers and it's all good. We get hungry and decide to look at the menus. The menus said that THURSDAY was Indian Fry Bread day. Apparently, I am told that they haven't done that IN A LONG TIME. I guess they didn't get around to changing the menu, but hey it's only my first impression of the joint. Glad the regulars love it, they can have it. Oh and I agree with a former poster about the Irish draw of the place. I thought it was gonna be an Irish place, not even close. Crappy hospitality, limited beer menu etc......
