| - NO AMBER ALE??? NO AMBER ALE!!!
Wow, okay. And you call yourself a bar. Your Web site boasts all these beers you offer, on tap or by the bottle. What a f'n joke. Oh, I get it. Is this another prank? Seems to be the worst one possible. I mean, sure, you offer plenty of make-me-puke domestics to satisfy any obese truck driver, but what about little ol' me who's just looking for a nice amber to enjoy during HH?
I was snubbed.
This place is pretty large, I'll give 'em that. There's plenty of TVs to watch, while you nosh on cheap (and I do mean cheap!) apps during HH. My friend and I split the veggie tray (huge!) and Cajun chicken sliders on mini-croissants. (Good but kind of plain and dry.) The RED SEOX game was on a huge TV screen. Very cool! There wasn't any sound on during any of the games, until it was time for the Suns to play. Then most of the TVs went to that game and the sound came on. So, NOTE TO SUNS FANS: This could be a very good place to watch a game, while enjoying traditional bar food and a brewski (or several).
The patrons are what I'd call mostly "blue collar." Nothing wrong with that. They are some of the hardest working people, who are friendly and offer the best tips. I grew up around these kinds of folks. I felt pretty comfortable here, but I was with a friend. I highly doubt I'd venture here solo, for nothing screams "open hunting season" like a young, pretty girl sitting at the bar by herself. And I couldn't say, "Oh, I came for the amber ale..." Blue Collar Chilvary isn't the same in Phoenix as it is in Oklahoma... (trust me on this one)
Moving on...
Service was great. We had three attentive servers check on us during our short HH stay. My friend and I split a mini-pitcher of Blue Moon for $5. Yeah, I told you this place was cheap. If we had a DD, I'm sure we could have polished off another $10 worth!
Between 2 apps and 1 mini-pitcher AND tip, I spent around $13 here. Maybe that makes me cheap? I'd prefer to think of it as frugal.
While this place offers TVs galore and even a separate area for games (arcade-style included), I didn't find much about this place that would warrant a return trip. It would be a fun place for a group of friends to hit up during HH (if you're frugal like me and want to get alot of bang for the buckaroo) to order mini-pitchers ($5!), while challenging each other to various game competitions. Will the Real Big Dog please stand up?
I can't believe they didn't have an Amber Ale... They did offer two Hefs and an array of others, including Kiltlifter for those who like your local red ale. But - GASP - while the place was decorated with all types of beer merchandise and empty 6-pack boxes adorned the tables with condiments, Prankers Too did not offer any Sam Adams. NONE!
There went Plan B... (grumble, grumble)
So, no Amber Ale. No Sam Adams.
One more strike, and you're out of here!
