| - I've never been a sports bar guy. Well... let me stop and rephrase that. I've never found myself frequenting sports bars until I moved to Phoenix. When I moved here, I found that meeting up with new and old friends at sports bars can actually be fun. The key is finding the right sports bars, and Brad's Place fits that bill.
So what, to me, is the "right" kind of sports bar? A place where you can go and enjoy some drinks while watching an athletic competition. There are enough tv's to satisfy most, if not all of the patrons, and the service is friendly. Hopefully there's food, Good food is a bonus.
If I can get all of that without having to deal with the following then I'm a happy camper:
1. Rowdy/Drunk college kids
2. Rowdy/Drunk older dude (possibly shirtless with a painted face) who thinks he's a college kid or
3. Rowdy/Drunk, defensive D-bags who act as though the end result of a sports competition determines whether or not their steroid dealer is going to stop taking their call and Ed Hardy/TapOut/Affliction will continue to produce merch.
Yeah, so basically what I'm saying is that I'm not looking for trouble with anyone, a fight or jail time to result from a trip to a sports bar.
Like I said, on my visit, Brad's Place was the good kind. We sat near the bar and for the most part had a variety of football games to watch on the span of tv's. They had happy hour Sunday morning as well. Can't beat that!
It's a decent sized place with a patio out front if you feel like sitting outside. On my visit, it wasn't crowded at all. That was great.
I ordered the breaded pork loin sandwich for lunch and it was surprisingly very good. It was cooked perfectly so that it was still tender. The breading was crispy, but not over cooked or greasy. Same with the accompanying fries. I would absolutely order it again.
If you're looking for the "good" kind of sports bar, Brads Place is the place for you. If you're a person that falls into one of the "bad" sports bar categories I mentioned above... Please stay away from here... and get help.
