| - While patio bars and Scottsdale aren't really my favorite thing, this one is ok. I prefer this concept to Spanish Fly, mostly because I'm not worried about me shoved into the pool if somebody stumbles into me.
Pros:
Lots of things to do. Large bar, plenty of TVs, bags (or corn hole if you're from the Midwest), couches and tables.
The appetizers I tried were very good... the Whiskey Wings had a great, unique flavor-though I missed the ranch dressing. The fried brussels sprouts were quite good, but almost too flavorful for a stand-alone dish... they might do better alongside an entree or salad.
Service was good, considering the crowd. They were prepared for the busy night ahead of them.
It doesn't seem too difficult to get a seat ahead of a popular televised sporting event.
Cons:
The setup of our table wasn't great for watching our chosen sporting event, on only one TV at the time. We couldn't all sit on one side of the table so it was awkward.
The fan (that I acknowledge is necessary this time of year) was too high and too loud. Men don't appreciate how annoying it is to have hair incessently blown into your face to tickle your nose no matter what you do. I wasn't willing to sit in front of it for the hours we would be there, so the seating options were further restricted.
The TVs combined with music and talking were too loud. Even for a bar. It was too much.
The bills were delivered without the itemized copy. When the server offers to split the check, it should be automatic to itemize. We weren't sure who got charged for which split items, and couldn't double check for accuracy.
