| - I'll try to review this place without of the bias of it being one of my boyfriend's favorite bars when he lived in the area. Also, I don't know much about the Phoenix area.
Location: weird. The bar is located in this area of chain restaurants and on my own, would never have though there would be anything worth checking out.
Impression/clientele: There were a ton of drunk 20 somethings everywhere around Westgate. You can sit in the front area of HHA and watch them stumble to their cars (to drive, of course). The customer base inside was 70/30 men to women and on a weekend night, it wasn't packed by any means. You find a mix of normal tattooed people, drunk girls thinking they're hot, bikers and the previously mentioned 20 somethings.
Service/employees: Everyone is really nice from the door guys, bartenders and servers. Drinks were poured well and didn't have to wait long to order. Of course the girls are all attractive. If you want to see some T&A, here's your place. The plus of this bar is the friendliness of the staff.
Music/sound: I'm partially deaf in one ear and even with that, the music was REALLY LOUD. I couldn't hear someone speaking from across the table.
The stripper pole inside the bar was a little over the top. Nothing against stripper poles, in a strip club...but in a bar where girls are just trying to grab attention...meh, more annoying than anything. Luckily I left before the drunk girls decided to have sex in the middle of the bar (seriously) for the mostly male patrons. Gross. The fact that men were recording it and taking pictures, even more disgusting.
Overall the bar is relatively clean, bathroom included.
It's just ok if you are looking for somewhere in the area, but I'm not sure I'd make HHA a destination.
