Ah, Ernie's. The archetypal biker bar frequented by a clash of cultures. I've noticed business types guzzling beers after work, pool hounds and women that look like they belong in a Scottsdale club.
So, needless to say, it's a breathe of fresh air compared to Scottsdale bars in the vicinity (just avoid the smoking patio).
I guess I can't review the food without admitting I've never had it. But I've heard it's worthy (seafood and crab cakes mainly, and as a Marylander, I think I could be a good taste test).
Drink prices are decent, but there is no happy hour (if I'm wrong, let me know. Each time I've asked the bartender said no). Of the five or six times I've been there, the bartender said barely a word - a disappointment but not a dealbreaker.
Karaoke is a blast and come 1 a.m., it's easy to meet friends at Ernie's.
Just keep a designated driver nearby :-)
