My group stumbled in here a bit after 10pm last Saturday night during a light rail pub crawl. We forgot to stop somewhere for dinner and we were starving. After searching the streets of downtown Phoenix for a suitable place, we found ourselves by the still-crowded Pizzeria Bianco. I knew it was a few minutes after 10pm and the place was "closed" but I pleaded with the hostess to let us in for a quick pizza to no avail. So, after walking a few steps, we found ourselves at The Rose and Crown which to our surprise was still serving food. As an added bonus it was some sort of 80's night and everyone but us was dressed in 80's gear. We all just popped our collars and tried to fit in. It was a real random mix of people there but they were all friendly.
Anyway, we ordered up a few pints and a bunch of artery clogging bar food. We were also lucky enough to score a nice table in one of the rooms. And in regard to one of the Yelp posts on here, no, they still have not found the remote to the giant fan in that room. It was so friggin hot and that fan would have been amazing.
We ordered some fries, chicken wings, and potato skins and everything was 'eh. I didn't think it was very good bar food. Pretty bland. HOWEVER, it did come very quick somehow. I also remember that the jalapenos they put on some of the stuff were hot as heck so watch out. Anyway, it was quick and hit the spot so we were happy.
The place itself is pretty neat. It is just an old house with a bar in the middle. There is seating inside and out. The place is pretty chill but nothing too spectacular. I'm not sure I'll rush back but it is definitely worth a stop if you are in the area.
