| - I really wanted to love this place, from the first teaser on Facebook over a year ago. The constant delays kind of took the excitement out of it for me and it fell on my list of 'to try' places.
This past Saturday, I finally ventured out to check it out, for a friends birthday.
We arrived on a night there was a Rattlers game and a DBacks game, and it was still fairly dead. Off the bat, the air was either not working or not turned down low enough because it was uncomfortably warm throughout.
The back room was set aside for the party, which was nice because it was very loud and difficult to have a conversation. We opted to try the beer wall (which actually was beer, wine and 1 cider). In theory, this idea is awesome, in reality it takes forrrrreeeevvvveeeerrr to get the card and instructions from the one employee working this area. Secondly, we were thankfully warned not to choose wine from the wall, unless we wanted to pay $2.00 an ounce. Upon reviewing the wall, wine was indeed outrageously expensive, but the Angry Orchard was a reasonable .80 an ounce. This was perfect for me as I don't drink beer and didn't want an entire cider. The same issue arose when we opted to leave, it took 20 minutes of waiting in line to close the tab and return the beer wall card.
Overall, the vibe is cool, the concept is cool. But it just didn't wow anyone. Plus, when it's 115 out, I hope not to sweat inside.
