| - Although I've never had a bad experience here or felt like I was walking into a rooting-interest goocher (I'm something like 5-0 here as a spectator), I cannot really recommend this as a destination spot for game watching. I really have a problem with the dynamics of the TV arrangements, and although they all appear to be plasma (not LCD), someone here lacks the capability or willingness to change a number of their broadcasts to HD until well into 'the game' or never at all.
The table positioning is awkward at best. They force you into a 45 degree angle, where, if you have 4-5 people in the group, 3 are forced at painful angles for sustained TV viewing. And before Dbacks games, this place looks like the Texas polygamist ranch, with all the kids and their daddies in here. Its too much.
Their semi-shaded patio and brick-warehouse structure is gorgeous tho. If you can snag a spot out front, the atmosphere feels pretty enthusiastic and wholly uplifting, truth be told. Almost like a real sports/entertainment district.
Food is awful, but really who cares? You're here for the beer and they have that. It just might not be the place you'd wanna be unless you fancy a quick round or two before a Dbacks or Suns game.
