  • So last time I was here it was PHX and known in the neighborhood as a gay friendly bar. I had heard it had new ownership and that the new owners were planning to embrace and enhance the bar and keep the bartenders and the friendly vibe. I was thrilled when I was told it was bicycle friendly and that if you ride your bike to the bar you get happy hour all day! Sounds good to me. There was about 7-8 of us on bikes and decided to stop by and see what they have done with one of our favorite local spots. Where things began to decline... First off, your logo is a BICYCLE and you are targeting bicyclists. How do you only have a small rack that holds about 4 bikes in the back of the building unsupervised? Some of my friends decided to move along but my boyfriend and I decided to lock our bikes together and risk it. We walked in and immediately it felt like Daytona Beach spring break. Bottle tossing, Hawaiian shirts, sailor hats and slushie machines. Slushie machines? Excuse me is this a 9 year olds birthday party? I mean don't get me wrong I'm guilty of having a little fat Tuesdays around my neck while in vegas. But not at a bar in Phoenix. Maybe it was intended for the kids? Ok, thats fine, new owners, new vibe. I will say the interior was more inviting and the extra bathroom really helped ease the awkwardness and lines. The drinks were ok, not very strong, I couldn't taste the Tequila in my drink and my boyfriends vodka tonic was basically tonic water. There was weird odor coming from behind the bar so we declined to decline the offer to order food since weren't sure if thats was being served. The vibe was weird. We felt like we walked into boys night out and disrupted the bottle tossing class. Im not sure if the owners visit their establishment ever, but the interior doesn't match the overly cheesy resort tropical theme of the bartenders. The bartenders seemed more interested in praising each other and whispering in a huddle to pay mind to the customers. Granted there weren't very many of us. But it made us feel uncomfortable. We had one drink and left. I will say I'm a little behind on writing my reviews since i was traveling and maybe they have installed bike racks by now. Based on my experience I wouldn't call Mackenzies a "bike friendly tavern." I didn't see a familiar face and it looked like a cruise ship bar staff was air dropped into the bar. With all new places opening in the area I don't this place stands chance.
