We had a great time here playing trivia. The food was good for a bar, it wasn't just deep fried 'bar food.' The menu has great options and the drinks were cold. Friendly bartender but the waitress could have been more personable. The crowd was diverse, locals and snow birds.Would like to go back on a weekend night when there's music. I'm sure there's a fun vibe! This isn't Scottsdale so don't look for upscale. For East Mesa or AJ the Trough is the place.
