| - Clancy's might finally be the marquee to stick around this location. My signage memory only goes as far back as Sunday's, and the one time I went in, I was probably the youngest person in there by 25 years- I wasn't their target demo.
One-Eyed Dog? It's fine... but every single time I walked in there, weekday or weekend, there was Karaoke. I'm all for hatcheting up a song, as I do a fairly awful version of "Centerfold" myself, but I don't want to sing it seven nights a week, and you can only hear "Goodbye Earl" done badly so many times.
Clancy's? It's simple. It's an Irish pub. Food is a small notch above typical bar food, and the Nachos were surprisingly effective. The pizza was reasonable, nothing special. The burgers- I'm a fan. Beer selection is decent, staff is more friendly than just about any in Scottsdale. My friend took issue with his treatment by the ownership the last time there, but that's his cross to bear. I guess they don't take kindly to Canadian Hockey fans during the Olympics threatening to commandeer the microphone to sing their national anthem. Now THAT would have been some singing I'd have loved to hear.
It's a simple Irish Pub with simple bar food. If you don't feel like an Old Town club but do feel like a drink, you can pull in, park, eat, drink, be treated well at the bar, converse, leave, and do so without any pain, then this is a solid place to do so. In this area, sometimes simple is better.
