Chain bars sums it up nicely - and why it sucks. Fake Irish pubs and Chili's wannabes. I hate driving into here, it just seems like a sloppy mess. Also, you need to look at a map of it prior to going. I'm one of those weird people who look at "addresses" and find a place by location accordingly. But here they all resemble 2000 E Rio Salado Pkwy #xxx -which is not helpful.
Otherwise, I agree with Billy. It's not trashy, and that's a big plus.
