| - Finally got a chance to go to The Duce! I've been meaning to come here for a long time, but we just never got a chance to do it. Well finally, after a Dbacks game I suggested to my group to finally check it out. Glad we all did!
The Duce is a giant historic wearhouse with lots of activities to do. We were lucky enough to park right out front, and from where you walk in, hint it's in the rear, you walk past a Streamliner trailer that you can order food from. I've seen the Triple D esposide where Guy loved the mac and cheese muffins, so I had to try them too. $4 for 9 mini muffians seemed like a great deal.
After putting in my food order, I was told that it was happy hour all day and bottles of beer were half off. I ended up ordering a round of PBR. If anyone follows my reviews then you have to know that I'm a craft beer fan, not PBR! But the Duce only had 2 craft beers on tap which didn't really appeal to me. At first, I was thinking that The Duce wasn't going to be that good because of the lack of beer choices, but after I ordered a spiked lemonade for my wife at the the main bar I realized that beer doesn't matter here at the Duce, it's all about their speciality drinks!!!!
The lemonade was amazing. On our next round I shared a Greyhound with my wife and it was the best! Just 2 ingredients, freshly squeezed grapefruit and vodka. It took a few mins to make the drinks, but that's because they are all freshly made. I was very impressed.
While waiting for the mac and cheese I saw my friends had grabbed hula hoops and started to play with them. I went back to pick up the mac and cheese which came in a basket, perfect for sharing. We then walked around and went to station to station. I mean, we saw punching bags, so we put on gloves and hit the bags. Saw corn-hole, then played a doubles game. Then saw foosball and had to play.
Thats where the fun of the Duce comes in. You have get involved. There is really so much to do. I saw ping pong as well but we were worn out after all of the activities they have to offer. I'd like to add that the music they were playing was a lot of fun and there were people dancing on their dance floor. This place is so huge that you can sit right next to the speakers, or in a corner that is quiet, or outside on old fashion lawn chairs. It's all up to you.
I saw the owner walking around, picking up gloves and putting away weights and talked to him briefly about the activities. I told him that I really enjoyed what he had done and told him that I would be back. He shook my hand and thanked me. He also explained that in the afternoons they offer boxing classes. That explains the ring they have.lol.
To sum up the Duce...thats hard...I would say if you are wanting a good time with a super cool concept then come here. I could see if you just went to eat or drink and just sit there then it might not be that good for you..
We all had such a great time that we couldn't stop talking about it. Too bad they had to close early on our visit, 5:30 for a private wedding. While we were leaving we saw the wedding party and it appeared that they were actually going to use it as a ceremony and reception place. My wife and I looked at each other and said that this would have been awesome!
